after watching 25 videos on mics, this video finally does it for me, the presenter is extremely intelligent about what will help the viewer. God bless!
The only video anyone ever needs on audio. Thank you for all this hard work and well thought out information.
Appreciate it!
For real, going in to this video I knew 0 about mics. This really explained EVERYTHING I need to know to make a choice on what to look for and buy 👏🏼
@@roastme2079 now you're showing off. 🤣
@@MrPaulXavierHey Paul, how can I get the audio from my advanced shotgun/boom mic into my iPhone 13/14?
@@roastme2079 You're not wrong, I too believe in getting the best you can possibly afford... well, up to the point where the benefits are noticeable over the alternatives at least.
Thaaaaaaaaaank you!!!! I bow down for finally one video that helps instead of thousands without context!
It's worth noting that on-camera mics are generally just for reference and syncing; they're not meant to be used. Thx for the great content!
For a very long time that I'm looking and researching for the mic I should buy for my vlog. This is the only VLOG that helps me. Kudos!
Thank you sooooo much. Yes! I made the mistake of buying a shotgun mic right off the bat and it created issues when I was shooting a sizzle reel for a script I wrote. I am now going through the same process and started digging around online. That's when I discovered your channel! Thank you so much again! I'm obviously close. I now have a Sennheiser shotgun and digital recorder. The Lavs are what I was missing.... and the wireless DJI. This video has got me amped up and helped me realize that I am not going to have the problems created on my first run. I have the ideas, now I have know what I need! Again! Thank you so much!
i started with an On-Camera shotgun mic for my mirrorless camera but now I'm picking up the dji wireless lav mic to go with it to get more "personal" Audio. really appreciate the knowledge you're dropping here. Subbed!
same, seen tons of videos, wish had seen this one as the very first one! ❤ perfect order and im very thankful that you mentioned tech & recording functionalities clarifying if there is postproduction needed such as sync of tone with picture, preamp aswell as including sound quality & price comperence. Great work!
This helped me so much! As someone who is completely new to the audio side of filming, I walked away feeling WAY more comfortable with audio than before. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I have watched tons of vids on microphones. This by far has been the most comprehensive and helped me make excellent decisions on what I need for my type of presentations. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow you made mics super easy to understand. I watched a couple other videos on mics before yours and was starting to feel really overwhelmed with all of the options and my lack of understanding of them. after watching your video, I feel like I have a good understanding of mics and can make my decision on which I need. THANK YOU! My search for mics ended here!
These are the best comments to read, thanks so much and glad it helped!
I'm a newby and had a few questions leading up to a purchase of a mic for my DSLR and you answered ALL of them. Excellent presentation!!!
Thank You.
Thank you. To the point. Vast array of gear to learn on. I threw in the towel when I got serious PTSD in 1996/7. Laid me low for the rest of my life it seems. Add Covid-19 and pneumonia with a record 120 stay in the Queens Theatre, Romford a 5 week coma and a 3 week coma that left me with a black hole of a memory that makes 1986 to now a walk in the park and YOUR stories had me smiling largely.
All my gear is Nikon.Treated room. Wacom 5 Medium Tablet. I will be signing up to learn it all, again. Photography and Videography makes the heart sing.It’s been a while I learn I have the fun the fun of physio to learn to walk again. Covid was a BiT±H. Now I have a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks.
The most detailed video on microphone. Loved the dedication to let people know what they are going to want even though it may sound too technical. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that!
Boy, if not the best, then one the best comprehensive, videos on this subject. Thank you so much, I’m in the market for a mic, your videos had helped me understand and make a better choice. Thanks.
I love how on top of the great tutorial he linked the mentioned equipment in the bio. So helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
This was by far the best way to explain sounds differences! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Seen so many videos on microphones, this is the by the best; learnt so much in just 22.53 minutes; thank you 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
SUPERRRRRR HELPFUL!! Thank you so much for such a thorough video.
This was everything I needed. Thank you!
Exactly the video I needed after looking hours for the best microphone in my situation
What a great tutorial. I am heavily impressed and enjoying! Thank you!
This is like super clear and simple to understand. Good work in making this! Cheers!
Very helpful video, I didn't know all those types and differences. You helped make sense of it all.
Incredible video! I used to use Rode shotgun mics for vlogging. But I changed to a wireless lav mic and never looked back! Bonus benefit is no one thinks I’m some local news reporter. For some reason that’s what people think when they see a shotgun mic with a deadcat/windshield.
Love it!
The controversy remains - when a budding police state routinely arrests photographers and photojournalists alike for recording in public. The courts have a strong consensus with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit that "held that a private citizen has the right to record video and audio of [officials] carrying out their duties in a public place, and that the arrest of the citizen for a wiretapping violation violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights". Glik v. Cunniffe, 655 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2011).
As a photojournalist the mic flag (or logo cube) just might save you a busted head or worse. Many of my 'independent' journalist associates can attest to spending a night or two in torture cuffs from malicious prosecution - only to have all charges dropped for lack of standing. Supporting a often abused cop idiom, "You may beat the rap, but not the rid". Many journalists reporting it can take several months or even years to get recording equipment back from unlawful arrests and illegal detainment. Chilling of free press and free speech has unfortunately become common everyday interactions with police.

😂😂😂😂😂True. They think you're a news reporter 😂
Absolutely brilliant video! Thank you so much for the clear and concise information, demonstrations, and recommendations of specific gear.
You're very welcome!
Absolutely first class; clear, jargon-free, detailed explanation of what's what and what's not. I'm an experienced professional and it helped me....
Love to hear this :)
Great video! Very action-oriented (for a potential buyer) with scenarios to simplify the thinking.
great job on this man. This is such a great resource.
This is such a detailed and comprehensive review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for this. Im taking notes for my next production :)
This is the BEST video I've seen on mics. Thank you!! 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was fantastic! The best overview I've come across with every question I could possibly have (e.g.what's a preamp?) answered. Thank you sir.
Love to hear this!
The best sound video ever. Thanks.
Extremely helpful and well edited. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome. I knew barely anything about mics. Now i know enough to get started! Thank you
Great to hear!
Finally got my questions answered….. thanks so much!!
You are the man! Thank you for this video! It clarifies a lot for me.
You're welcome!
Well done. So much information and clearly explained. Thanks!!
You're very welcome!
Glad that I found you here Anthony! Great video, very informative and helpful 🙂 Subscribed of course!
thank you man, you just said everything i need to know in the beginnging and explained it well. thank you!
My pleasure!
Like ❤ one of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
thats the video i needed, so detailed and informative
Love to hear that!
This is awesome! Very much needed. Thanks for the information. It is really helping me to be a better creator!
You are so welcome!
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this but your *free* videos here on the TH-cam machine are exceptionally well done. This is like, "Give To Get 101". You provide some much value for free that I am compelled to (and feel guilty if I don't) buy your courses. If this is the *free* content, I can't imagine how great the paid content is......
Thank you for this feedback! That is always the goal… to overdeliver 🔥
Great video learn a lot thanks so much you are a great teacher.
This video answers all my questions about microphone. Thank you❤
thank you, making night time into day, am subscribed👍🏽
Excellent overview! Thank you!
Extremely helpful! Tones of information in very well created video. Thank you very much for this high quality content
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my favorite explanation of patterns! Great video overall
Awesome! Thank you!
Thx Anthony. I love how your instruction gets you into the basic info quickly and on to the next thing quickly. It's what sets you apart in this "too much information age". I often get back to your stuff after learning from many others and quickly think "man I shoulda started with Anthony. I woulda progressed so much quicker."
Very good explanation. Thanks so much!!!
Your intro song is my outro song 😂 I haven't seen anyone else use it, so I'm super excited you have it too! Haha. Also this is just the video I needed to step up my audio-game, so thank you.
Only 5 minutes in, but this is already one of the most helpful videos I've seen on microphones. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Good and concise explanation, I feel like someone of any level of technical experience would understand the way you explained.
Appreciate your feedback. Looking forward to your success 🔥
One of the best videos. Thank you very much!!! ✌🙏
You're very welcome!
That was the best, most informational video on Microphones I have ever seen. So much information while still being concise and to the point!
Quick Question: Does anyone on here know of a way to use two DJI or RODE mic setups with one camera/smartphone? I love the wireless mic setup, but I need to find a way to record 4 people that will be out on a golf course!
Again, super awesome video!
As a professional sound mixer/recordist for the past 30 years, I had to watch your video. And, for the most part, you got a lot of it correct. There are a few nuisances that I could argue, but for the beginner who thinks audio is a mystery, your video works.
I recently bought myself a Canon R7 for a video project that I will be shooting (you don't spend 30 years working in video production and not learn a few things from the other departments). So when it came time to outfit the camera with an audio kit, I only pulled a couple things from my Sound Devices/Lectrosonics/Sanken/Schoeps/Sennheiser based pro kit. That stuff is all amazing and top of the line, very expensive audio recording gear. It has been developed for use in my audio bag and a majority of it is either too big to be used around the small camera kit I was putting together or it couldn't be powered by the camera without adding all sorts of extra parts. Yeah, I could have adapted either my Schoeps CMC6/41 or even my Sanken CS-1e boom mics to be on top of the camera, but there are several cheaper, smaller and lighter options. The one I chose to go with is the Rode VideoMic NTG. Its based off of the broadcast line of Rode NTG mics, but in a smaller format with internal power. I was hoping that Rode had built into this mic some of the same quality that they have put into their bigger NTG line up of mics. And I was very pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of this small shotgun mic. It also has the more directional polar pattern that I was looking for. Many of these mics that "look" like a shotgun mic are in fact stereo mics. And that's not what I was looking for, I wanted a mic that had a bit more reach. The Rode VideoMic NTG is a bit more expensive that the other Rode options at $249, but I think its the best in this class of mics.
I'm pairing that with the Rode VideoMic GO II as a wireless system. They are an excellent small and relatively cheap wireless system. Just add in a couple lav mics taken from my Sennheiser G3 and G4 kits and they are good to go. The sound they produce is shockingly good. I 'm not gonna replace my Lectrosonics systems with them, but they offer something that those $5000 systems cant offer, a very small size and almost zero weight penalty.
And then my deep backup with be a Tentacle Sync Track E recorder. Its a super small and very simple audio recorder that you can feed time code to so that it will be sync'd to a camera or other recorder. There are no external buttons on the small case other than the on/off button. There is not setting the levels of the recorder either as it uses the 32bit floating point format. Take a look at these recorders, amazing systems for when you're out of reach of a regular wireless system or can't bring the whole audio bag. the problem is, they are not cheap. At about $460 for a single unit, they aren't on a lot of non-professional's lists. But compared to a Lectrosonics PDR, they suddenly seem very reasonable. Take look at them on Amazon. They are German made. And from a really great company.
Yes, this video was incredibly helpful! Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
the way this video helped me is crazy. Deep thanks man…
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the information overload. Now I just need some time to digest it before I reach an informed decision on what to purchase for improving my recorded memories! Deffinetly worth a sub and like!
Nice video dude! Even though I've been around in documentary production for a while this video sure cleared my head for a bit!
Love to hear that! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for making this video. It really helped a lot
You're so welcome!
Fantastic video! So insightful and covers so much to a detailed enough level to make decisions.
Is there a recommended UK option for the Pop Lav mic by any chance?
WOW, talk about mic education, this rounds it up, thank you
🙌🙌🙌
Fantastic explanations. Very useful and sincere. Great job. 👍
Excellent introductory video, than you very much for sharing.
Well done, cant really be better. 14 day filmmaker with you running it would be good. I don't need it yet, but when its time ill look you up
Thank for these. very simpleng straightforward.
🙌🏻
This was really helpful, thanks a lot! I was pretty lost and this is the only video that answered all of my questions.
Glad it helped!
Great video. Good juxtaposition of Dynamic vs. Condenser Mics . Yes, Sennheiser 416 is the high end Mic of choice but with a Sound Devices Recorder with Noise Assist added.
You are the best! Thankyou so muchfor these inputs ❤️
Of course, thank you!
Good stuff. One note (I'm an electronics tech/systems engineer): A preamp is more closely related to a filter than anything else. What it does is knock off irregular noise, then passing a clean signal to an amplifier, which actually does the amplification as the name suggests. So while you're correct about the better quality preamp, the reason is slightly incorrect. Amplification done later is subject to the same things that the preamp is; cheap electronics tend to produce their own noise and don't discriminate well (amplifiers don't usually discriminate at all, or very, very little). So when you pair a cheap, noisy preamp with a cheap amplifier, well, you're just amplifying noise, and no one wants that.
I didn't know this, thank you. Loved the video but wish he expanded a bit on signal to noise ratio and gain staging. Keeping the noise floor low.
This is a great intro to recording audio for content creators! Thanks for making it clear what situations lend themselves to which microphones. As you said, there are so many choices, it is hard to know where to look.
I do have a very particular use case, for which I have been seeking an answer for a while now, and I am hoping you might have some insights. I have been recording my child at his piano recitals for many years now, and am usually situated a few rows back in the audience. I cannot really set up any boom mics or place a field recorder close to the audio source. In this case how would you suggest that I optimize the audio quality, bearing in mind the the limitations involved.
Keep up the great work!
You could attach a lav mic to your child on stage and just have the recorder sit in their pocket. After the fact you would just need to synchronize the audio from your camera to the audio from the recorder and it will sound great!
If I may jump in, the answer would depend a lot on what your focus is and what the scenario exactly is, if they have a sound setup to get the piano sound to the audience by way of speakers, you could ask to plug into it. If using a directional is out of the question, the second best is probably Paul's suggestion, or possibly have your child place a recorder on/near the piano which might give better results than a lav mic as recorders often have very good mics, Zoom for example with H1n is the step in to the type I mean. I'm just saying this because most lav mics have a speech optimized design and will color the piano sound a bit, which a recorder typically won't do, most having built in mics for general wide band use, not speech. The difference isn't huge in most cases, a lot of lav mics can do music too.
Very helpful and really great vid. Thanks!
This is such a helpful video! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Fantastic video - thanks!!
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Brilliant video. I learned a lot, thank you❤️
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best video for knowing all about mic´s thanks :D
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. You have clearly shown me that I would like an advanced shotgun mic, but shouldn't spend that kind of money. I'm going to go with a dynamic, as I live next to a busy street.
Love all your videos!
You're the best!
Excellent video...extremely helpful. Thank you.
awesome video on the topic, I think the H4n and NTG3 is a fantastic combo.
It really is!
Thanks for such a fantastic video.
Great short and sweet explanation.
This was so helpfull. Thank you.
Best video i ve heard re usage in different scenario
