Do you have a favorite way to record audio for your videos? Let’s share so we can all learn, grow, and make even better content! 🤘🏻
Right now my favorite way of recording is with a shotgun mic that is connected to the Rode Wireless Go system. It gives the mic a "boom like" versatility and it sounds great!
I’ll be honest, the new apple devices have decent mics. Definitely not able to compare to professional microphones, but they do the job for new TH-camrs. LOVE your videos man keep it up
They have certainly come a long way! For my next video I will be diving into how to improve audio in post, and that's definitely something that can be applied to apple devices audio!
I do mostly people talking. For video, if using a lapel mic I use a Rode wireless go and the external mic port on a camera or just run the wire to the camera external port if close to the camera. When I don't want the mic in the frame I use a shotgun on a stand like a Senn 416 or Deity 3 pro and some sort of recorder. For pure voice-over, no video, we have a booth that has a Senn 416, pop filters, and a DBX 286 strip.
But, after your section on the Tascam with the 2 audio level support, I may have to add one of those. People always speak so loud and blow out the levels! Thanks for showing this.
@@ZacSopak
Dang, I’m the beginning of the video, I was like, sounds good then you switched it up and realized just how good things can be.
Lol thanks KT! It is pretty wild how much of a difference audio can make!
lol same here
Same
Same 😅
For real😭
I feel this guy is underrated sincerely. His content is legit and relatable to small TH-camrs. I love his content
Thanks so much, I appreciate that kind feedback and encouragement!
I just did this entire tutorial on a video I recorded today. Even without all the fancy equipment, my audio sounds MUCH better. THANK YOU! Best tutorial on youtube for this. Literally cannot thank you enough.
PS- I'm getting better equiptment in a couple weeks. Can't wait for my audio to sound as crisp and perfect as yours.
Awesome I’m glad it was helpful and effective for you! Check out this follow up vid to give it an extra step as well: th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
Aye I'm making a TH-cam/Film group chat where we can Motivate, Lead, and Build each other up as Filmmakers, If you wanna join say "I'm In"
Sh
This man has replied to all comments, appreciate the hustle, my man. Good luck and really informative video.
Haha I try to man! Thanks for watching!
@@benjohnsoncreative My pleasure
Ben, I’ve watched a lot of instructional videos on TH-cam and corporate websites over the years. This is one of the best! I found myself wanting to see and hear two things: examples of good vs bad audio, and a shot of the setup you were currently using to record this video - and you gave the viewer both! Extremely well done!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
BEN your channel is exactly what I've been looking for to up my production quality game, as I'm getting back into making youtube videos. Love how you break down the info. Would have been great to hear how the shotgun and lavalier mics sound in relation to your external recorder, but super helpful regardless -- I've never subscribed faster !
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to the creative crew! Yes I’m watching it back I should have included samples, thanks for your feedback, I will add it in a future tutorial! :)
Thanks for taking us through steps many would think are self explanatory. Most watching these vids know nothing of recording for video or where to even start. Appreciate your thoroughness!
Thanks Danny!
Ben, thanks so much for this video! Your presentation is so clear, easy to understand, and uplifting.
Thanks Luke! I appreciate the encouragement!
Thanks so much! Your videos are helping people more than you could ever know! Keep on being awesome!
Thanks Christian I appreciate this a lot. Always nice to get some encouragement!
Even the transition into the "interference" explanation @ 3:54 was fire. The glitch effect mimicked a technical issue. Dope video and helpful too.
Hey great catch haha! Thanks for watching!
Another gold mine right here! I need this because my audio sucks. Thanks again, Ben!
Thanks for watching! Audio is half of a video :)
Ben you the man! Love your channel brother. Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU for watching! 🤘🏻
Audio can be so tricky sometimes. Thanks for simplifying it! That Tascam recorder looks fire! I see how that could be super useful in an interview setup or during a live event. Keep the videos coming :)
We love it for weddings! It is SO nice!
You got me! At first I was like this audio doesn't sound that great. Then you switched it up and I stayed for the entire video. Slick move Ben!
😎 thanks for watching!
The few seconds at 5:30 were the most enlighting in all the 10 videos I watched over this topic today.
Glad you found some value!
One of most helpful videos I’ve seen recently. Thanks.
Thanks a-the-wise! Glad you found it helpful!
Ben. i just discovered your channel. ur subs and views does not do justice to your amazing teachings and content. pls keep it up. i have subscribed. cheers from malaysia
Thanks so much! And challenge accepted! Just released a new vid to follow up this one! th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much Ben, your video is very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
really great vids, thanks for the advices!
Thanks for watching Karoly glad you enjoyed it!
Dude!!!!! I can not THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! I subscribed to your channel your content is amazing great tips and very very well explained
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found value! I’ve got more coming soon!
you’re gonna be huge. respect the hustle!
Thanks Swyx! 🙏🏻
Thanks Ben!! ❤️👍🏻 great content
Thanks for watching!
Just stumbled across this channel, wow this is so helpful and clear THANK YOU! Quick question, if you had to just pick 1 or 2 which mic's out of these 3 are best for a freelancer to invest in but also good for youtube? Would you say the zoom and lapel mics? Thanks so much!
Yes! The zoom and lapels would be my go to
Thank you that was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful!! Thank you.
Thanks Dan! Glad it helped!
Thank you. I'm really struggling with big videos because my mic cable is very short 🙈you gave me some ideas ❤
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much man I finally found the one I want, plus everyone else just says to record on your camra but if I don't have one so thank you, you were actually helpful unlike most.
Glad I could help!
You deserve more subscribers! Great informative content. Keep it up. ❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
LOVE your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Miles and Karen!
omg, loving your video!!! thanks for the tips, kisses from brazil
Hey thanks for watching!
I’m actually preparing to upgrade from my Rode VideoMic. I think you sold me on the Tascam Lav. Thanks for this vid🙏🏻
It’s an awesome little unit!
How am I just seeing this channel? This is some great content.
Thanks so much Kareem!
Hello @Ben Johnson please did you get to make the video on what to do with the recorded audio in post?
I'd love to see your approach and process. Please share a link if you have. Thanks
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
Great concise advice man! I have Sony and Fuji and prefer Fuji for baked in audio as I can select "Line In" for the mic port which totally bypasses the mic preamp. I then use a nice condensor mic into an external sound source and then line out into the camera "Line in" microphone port. I do nothing in post and send the entire video to TH-cam for the least compressed file in the end. My sound sources currently are Tascam Mixcast 4, Tascam 70D and a Zoom H6 and all let you compress and treat the audio before it gets sent to the camera. Sony does not allow you to completely bypass the mic preamp so they're relegated to non studio work.
Nice video! I was wondering if knew if was compatible using a rode videomic pro+ with a zoom h1n? If yes, do you think this is a good combo?
wow ur intro music and everything is fantastic
Thanks Ronaldo I license all my music from soundstripe: www.soundstripe.com/?fpr=benjohnsoncreative
Question: how did you do that peace FX at the end? I’ve been looking for a plugin for FINAL CUT PRO for that type FX or like a clone glitch FX like they do in music videos when dancing it slow down, still frame clone out and transform back into a dance move at regular speed.
Also also thank you for your recommendation for MotionVFX I made some purchases based off your recommendation.
I do that effect manually (by copying the clip, putting it on top of the original clip, dragging it a few frames off and making it a bit transparent) but I'd definitely do a deep dive into MotionVFX, they may have something that would help get the look you want
What made you decide to use a shot gun camera rather than a mic that is better but would be on screen like the SM7B?
Just preference, I use the Shure MV7 in livestreams but prefer to not have mic in frame for my other videos
What about for recording audio in a large echoing room (gym) where the subject moves around a lot demonstrating workouts?
I would definitely do a lav mic
really helpful thanks
Awesome glad it was helpful, thanks for watching Vanessa!
Nice video you extremely explain .slove my confusion, very nice
Make sure to check out my post production audio video if you really want to up your audio game! th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
I got brought a canon g7-x mark 2. Im totally beginner. Watching your videos are helpful and informative.. i want to do beauty recording what lighting and mic can you recommend ?
I’d recommend this mic: amzn.to/3G375IN
And this light: amzn.to/3zAhCJp
How do I get the RCA quality audio out of my Pioneer mix board into my TH-cam video I have a few on my site but there is no Bass, I need to incorporate that bass!!
hi! thank you for making this video. I'm using a shotgun microphone so the audio is recording to the video file, but it's out of sync. how do I fix this? thank you!
I’ve never heard of this before but I would check your frame rates and sample rate
Thank you! Been looking for ways to upgrade my audio. I do a lot of teaching piano… talking and playing. Do you think a shotgun mic might work well to pick up my voice and piano both?
It could be a good option but shotguns tend to work best when they are close to the subject (like vlogging). You also need to be cautious of playing the piano too loud and it over powering your voice. I may recommend a lav mic on your shirt to get close to your voice
@@benjohnsoncreative thank you Ben! Will check out your video on lav mics to see what the differences are.
what song is used in the video?
That video is really well done. The transition at the start of the video, from the poor quality to the good quality audio really sets the tone of the video.
Did you use the Tascam DR-10 microphone in your video?
I used the zoom h6 audio recorder
Faving this when I finally get the guts to start a channel 😂! Subscribed! Thanks for actually going through super detailed settings! What would you say are the most versatile mics?
And what would you say about podcast mics like the blue yeti? (Mostly so I can use it for both camera and zoom calls, 2 birds right? 😂)
Absolutely the yeti will be great when you are at home or wherever you’re set up is, it just won’t work as well if you wanna do vlogs. Id check out getting a rode smart lav + and using it with your iPhone if you have an iPhone!
Start right away - you will learn so much from your first couple of videos!
I have the Deity VLav lapel mic that Think Media recommended for newbies where you can plug it into the laptop/pc/phone and start recording the audio. How would this work compared to what you shown in the video?
It’ll work great you’ll just be tied to the device
Great value 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Can you record from the recorder (zoom h6) straight into the camera? I’ve seen it done before but not many videos I could find.
I wouldn’t use it for that, it’s not really designed for that
@@benjohnsoncreative Hi! Love this video! What software do you recommend to auto-sync audio from Zoom H6 or Tascam lapel mic to the video? Thanks!
What are your thoughts about Olympus WS 853 and philips dvt4110 audio recorders?
Thanks
I haven't used them so I can't speak to them
Love this guy
🤘🏻
Thanks for the vid! I like the idea of using the Zoom H6 just outside the shot to get good audio. I'd definitely be interested in see a vid on how you sync the audio later in post with FCP X
Awesome I’ll plan on making one soon!
@@benjohnsoncreative what are your thoughts with using a lavalier microphone into the zoom h6 or directly into your camera (I'm just starting out so I'll be using my GoPro Hero 5 Black)?
thanks bro. Starting a youtube channel that requires quality audio. Needed a place to start with the different options. Very informative and quality video!
If i had any critiques i would say pace faster. but only to service the short attention spans of todays viewers. But in all honesty thats more a matter of taste and how you want your channel to be perceived. So ignore me. Great video thanks!
Thanks for watching! This video is a from a few years ago, before short form was so popular. Definitely been speeding up the pacing in current vids!
@@benjohnsoncreative I noticed that after my comment. Love your new stuff too!
Do you have any tips on filmmaking audio? I’m going to work on a short film and I could use some advice. I have a tascam audio recorder and a mic.
Most of the time with traditional filmmaking it would be ideal to have an audio operator rocking a book arm with a mic running to the recorder
What recording device would you recommend for a physical movement video where clipping the mic onto clothing is not an option, and wireless would be best? Thank you!! 🙏🏽
I’d recommend this: amzn.to/44CrobJ
Here’s my full video on it:
th-cam.com/video/Rlz2YQdFTlI/w-d-xo.html
You can use the magnet to secure it and it’s not obtrusive visually
If that’s not possible I’d recommend booming a mic
Joined you with your great journey.
Thanks for joining!
Bought it with your link Ben. Thx
Thanks for supporting!
@@benjohnsoncreative yeah just used it yesterday and is easy to use and pretty darn good quality for my videos.
Awesome content. Is it possible to use lapel mics and shotgun mics?
Kind of… not really on the same recording file but you can do lapel from the recorder and then have shotgun on your camera
When using an external mic and recording through an interface, should the raw audio from the camera be muted during recording? Or can this be separated later?
I keep it to make syncing everything easier later ant then just mute the camera audio in the edit
Hey man, I love your videos! Simple and to the point. Videos about audio can be overwhelming, your way of presenting is perfect for beginners. They'll find Curtis Judd when they're ready 😂.
Question : do you prefer using a shotgun mic for studio setups or the Zoom H6 setup you have there. And are you using the XY capsule or another one? Thanks man!
For my studio I prefer the quality I get from the zoom and I am using the x y capsule. The preamps in the device really sound incredible
@@benjohnsoncreative Hey Ben, when you do this, do you connect the Zoom H6 directly to the camera? If not, how do you stop/pause the recording on the camera and the mic at the same time? Thanks so much!
THANKS ALOT FOR SHARING THAT GOOD NEWS WITH THE WORLD
You're welcome!
Another great video
Thanks All Access!
Your great man, I have one thing to ask, what is the best microphone to use if I am shooting with my smart phone? Need a recommendation
I would recommend using the tascam dr-10l lavalier mic and then syncing it later
Ben what is the best camera, microphone and software for creating and editing TH-cam videos
I use and love Final Cut Pro for editing
For camera and microphone it depends on what your budget is. If you have no limit these are my current favorites
Camera: amzn.to/3sK2Gqp
Mic: amzn.to/3mLddOp
Hey Ben. Could you make a video on the post syncing audio and best way to do it. Thanks so much
Yes I can, I use Final Cut Pro x and it has syncing built in. Otherwise there are third party programs like “plural eyes” that can help accomplish this
@@benjohnsoncreative thank you so much. Hope the very best for your you tube journey you rock dude ! 🙏😊
Have you done a video on overlaying audio to video since the recording of this video? I'd love to learn.
Here you go Robert: th-cam.com/video/YHNksm7zCug/w-d-xo.html
Hi i generally record videos with a cannon f1.8 stm lens. My camera is almost 7ft away from me, can you suggest a good microphone for 100-150$, don’t have budget to buy an expensive lens or mic as of now
I would suggest using a “rode smartlav+” with your smart phone
What camera can you recommend as well? Doesn’t have to be to fancy. Based off your video, the Wired Tascam DR10L would be my go-to. My purpose with the camera is to record construction stages of building. And I would like to speak in the video as well. Any recommendations?
Sony a6400 with a sigma 16 1.4 is a great combo
I am happy we have the same mic but my own sounds so bad but thank you for the video now I can fix it
Here’s what I do to mine in post as well: th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
@@benjohnsoncreative Thank you man!!
Great video. What's your views on the RODE Wireless Go Mic System?
Its great! Personally I dont love Wireless systems, I've had many issues with interference in the past but I know lost of people who use and love the RODE Go!
@@benjohnsoncreative thanks
I'm interested in learning audio in post. I like the idea of an external recorder. I'm going to be interviewing someone.
This video can help: th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=J5tpD7S-iWnP8Eo6
Hey Ben. I would love a rode pro shotgun, but it's just a bit expensive for me right now. Any suggestions for some cheaper shotgun options?
Something the plugs right into my camera, and ideally is just mounted to the camera, would be the easiest option for me.
Hey great video ben. Quick question, what levels is your backround music at?
Trying to find a balance between it being hear-able and not distracting in videos, thanks
Great question Andre, I aim to get my goals at -3db my audio at -30db while I’m talking and -12db when I’m not talking
@@benjohnsoncreative awesome thank you. and do use the eq as well on the music to take away signals under which the voice goes over?
I have a lot of subjects, and I’ll be filming remote style videos, not in a studio so how can I get good audio for multiple subjects at once with a lot of movement and fast distance in and out of frame?
Just 14 seconds into the video and I automatically hit 'Like'.
Thanks Arya!
what application or DAW did you used for this video ?
brother i am totally random i have seen your video from youtube recommendation you are doing great job keep it up 👍 love from pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻
totally agree keep going
Same here. Thanks for the content! If you’re also looking for more topics to talk about I have one idea which is unfortunately a little bit outside your mission: how do you setup a working environment for best video calls in a corporate setting.
@@thomasbaro7377 It does go outside my niche a little bit, but check out my friend Zac's video on using a camera as a webcam, it may give you some starting ideas: th-cam.com/video/O22gfafvj7Q/w-d-xo.html
You make this info super clear and easy to grasp. Super helpful to a lot of folks out there. Well done
Thanks Nick I appreciate the encouragement, thanks for watching! 💯
I also have a zoom h6 but my audio always sounds terrible, I tried adjusting the gain but it still sounds terrible, what settings do you use with your zoom h6 and do you edit in post production for instance in adobe to make the sound file even better? what are the exact settings? and presets?
I record in wav at 48 sample rate and 24 bit, I use the X and Y mic and aim for -12db and here’s a vid of what I do in post: th-cam.com/video/6R1Hr2f_rCQ/w-d-xo.html
@@benjohnsoncreative will you ever make a version of this in Adobe premier pro... unfortunately I’m stuck using that...
@@SERGE_Tech Make sure your setup correctly your Lo Cut and Comp/Limiter under the INPUT&OUTPUT menu in your Zoom H6.Also, keep your gain between 6 and 7, and in post you can increment gain, normalize, etc. For Adobe Audition try exploring iZotope RX8 to clean up your audio. The overall quality can be improved a lot with iZotope RX 8 plugins.
Hi @@benjohnsoncreative, first time commenting. Been watching lately your vids. Nice job you've done. Haven't really used the X & Y mic for podcasting, but will give it a try tomorrow for a web conference :). For videos, I prefer to hook up the Rode Video Mic Pro to the H6, then straight into the camera instead of syncing the audio in post. Haven't really found too much of a difference as to do the extra work. Have you done a comparisong in quality between the Video Mic Pro through H6 versus X&Y H6? Why not using then a condenser or dynamic microphone like you did in other podcasts? For voice over, I prefer to use a dynamic mic connected to the H6 and recorded with Adobe Audition. For guitar recording, the X&Y definitely does a great job. Keep up the good job!
What about mobile videography?
Can we able to shoot quality videos like these in our home using the accessories you shown in your various uploads with a smartphone?
You can shoot quality videos with a newer smart phone, it will not be the same quality as a dedicated video camera like I am using, but you can still get good quality with proper techniques and support gear like good lighting and audio
I am starting to create Masterclasses off Zoom, do you recommend the same microphones if you are recording off your computer and not a camera?
I’d recommend this one: th-cam.com/video/PU4fYgqaqlg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jw4k5gNQsM7PkklJ
Hi Ben thanks for sharing! It's really helpful! Can you tell me the audio synch apps name please? Have a great day!
Now a days I use final cut Pro’s sync feature, but the other great one which works with premiere as well is called “plural eyes”
I really enjoyed this video. What would you recommend for "run & gun" style audio? Or do you have a video on that specifically?
If you’re trying to film vlog type videos while on the go I’d recommend a shotgun mic like the Diety Duo d4: amzn.to/3JvXaO8
I currently use this on my vlog style videos and it works great!
@@benjohnsoncreative Thanks Ben. I appreciate the reply and advice. Happy New Year
Hello, I just stumbled across your channel. I really like the way you explain everything. I would like to ask a question about recording music video for TH-cam. We do drum meditation and sound relaxation, with drums, gongs, chimes and voice chants. We would like to create a TH-cam channel recording these sessions in various outdoor settings. Could really use some ideas on camera, and recording and editing equipment? Thank you for any guidance you are willing to share with us.
Hey Thom, I’ve got tips for cameras recordings and editing on my channel, hopefully it will help!
Thank you Ben, I am checking it out for sure.
How do I turn up the gain if my microphone doesn't have a gain button on it?
How do you feel about booming a shotgun mic and having it feed into a recorder (i.e. zoom h1n) rather than directly into the camera? I've seen this as an option on TH-cam and I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make audio-wise.
It will most likely sound a lot better. The zoom recorders have great pre amps and produce high quality audio files!
@@benjohnsoncreative Okay! Thank you so much for your response! You're putting out great content
Can zoom h1n suitable for recording for voiveover TH-cam videos?
I was about to close the video and you fixed your audio hahahaha great one
Haha thanks James
What about something like a blue yeti for a pc mic ?
Blue yeti is a solid usb mic!
Great Video! It would have been good if you had said something about the format you use.
You are right, and I intend to make a better updated version soon :)
Hey Ben great video, what would you recommend for audio for youtube voice overs? Bits and stereo or mono?
Mono is more than great for v/o
@@benjohnsoncreative Great, what about bits?
Thank u
Thanks for watching!
I want to do in real life videos and record from someone else’s phone but use my phone for audio and then to talk into , how can I do that ? Is there any apps or ways so that I could just get the audio and put it over the clips /footage ?
Yes most editing softwares can do this, but if you want to do it on your phone try luma fusion
What mic you recommend for users who doesn't;t want use a camera and all?
Hi Ben
I'm just starting out and want to do meditation audios, is a stand free mic the best way to go?
I'm a dinosaur from cassette tape times! Sophia
I would do either a boom mic or this: amzn.to/3yb4IRy
Hi Ben, I am a fan. Thanks for all your Videos first of all. I wanted your advice. I just purchased an Oktava MK-012, to step up my game for Audio recording. Now all when and good, but my Mac Studio fan comes on from time to time, and it is causing me issues. I was contemplating buying a Zoom F3, so that I can do my Audio whilst recording my talking head, directly into a separate source to stop the fan starting up (as it's the recoding into Adobe Audition causing the fan to start). I have thought about relocating the Mac Studio, but I have limited space. Do you think this is overkill? I like the thought of 32 bit float, and by recording into a completely separate source whilst recording the Video, this will stop the fan coming on. In fact I could probably just turn the Mac off while doing the Video. Any comments/advice would be appreciated.
I record into my zoom H6 while recording my videos, definitely recommend that over recording into adobe after shooting to avoid the fan. Ambient noise can be tough!
@@benjohnsoncreative I just ordered the Zoom F3, as I was pretty set on it anyway, so can't wait to try it out ! thanks for your advice. I didn't see the point in something with more than two inputs, or I would have gone for the H6 as it looks amazing! I want to use it for Podcasting on my SM7B, and the other channel for the Ocktava for TH-cam (well I say TH-cam, I am only playing around at the moment watching all you guys in awe). thanks man !
Definitely! The H6 is overkill for a lot of people, I think you’ll be happy with the restyle you get from yours!
