The processing you added definitely made is sound good. Great video! For voice over situations, holding a lapel is such a cheap way to get solid audio. But I'm still not loving lapels though. If you wear them on your shirt as intended, it picks up a lot of room noise and echo, plus if you move it can create mic noise. But: if you hold it to your face in order to get the proximity effect, it sounds shockingly good. But it looks weird on camera to hold a lapel. So I bought a Shure SM7B. It's big, expensive, and I still run a simple EQ and multiband compressor on it (stock premier pro effects). But it really has made my videos better.

Thanks

Yeah until you try a Sony c800, or a tube and ribbon mic. HUGE difference.

Sure thing!
But since this video is mainly directed to aspiring TH-camrs and podcasters, I’d recommend either starting with a very affordable mic to test things out or investing in a good dynamic mic. Dynamic mics help reduce room reflections and handle volume spikes well (obviously they need to be set up properly). That’s why I think something like the Shure SM7B or even budget-friendly options like the Rode PodMic are the best balance between quality and practicality for this hobby!

@@Kvardekstudios you are completely right on that point. 100%

This is _not_ how you mix voice and music . . . just about every film, TV ad, TV broadcast, radio broadcast (etc etc) since the 1950s has ducked the music under the voice . . . so the music can be loud (if needed) and every time the voice kicks in, the music quickly makes room by ducking in volume. The fact that you've gone into Fletcher Munson curves and saturation (etc) before addressing the very basics of mixing voice and music suggests you don't really know what you're doing.
