I edited out PART II portion of this video due to a number of comments concerned that it may cause damage. I have never experienced a line level source damaging a microphone input on one of my cameras or an interface. The worst I have experienced is distorted audio. This is why I set my camera's preamp as low as possible and slowly brought up the fader to get a good level.
Because I do not have access to every single camera to test the mic input, and I don't have time to research the tech specs of every camera on the market to provide accurate and in depth responses, I have opted to remove this section of the video.
The problem here is that some people with far less knowledge associate distortion and clipping with audio damage where all clipping is doing (in it's most basic sense is turning sine waves into square waves).
The clapper! I cannot believe I never thought of doing that... You’re a hero and a saint.
I watch this little miraculous tip at 3am after working my ass out synching the video and the sound on the software! This dude just saved my future!
Funny I wonder for the longest why directors hit their little black and why clapboard thing before they said action and one day realized it was to help sync audio to video later in post
@@alterI4 It's crazy how i just learned this lol
@@Narasetu This vid saved me a lot of extra stress and cost too!
Wow! Mind blown. This is such a helpful video. I've been reading about this online, but this video was a lot easier to understand with you actually setting it up. This video must have taken you quite a bit of time to record and edit. THANK YOU!
You became my guru for video/sound recording. A thousand claps for you!
OK, I've got it, only 2 or 3 for sync the audio to the footage, but you deserve a lot of clapping. Bravo!!!
My god, I subbed to this channel 3 years ago looking for a nice cheap mic. I don't even remember you having 10k subs. Glad to see you've gained so much success since then and are still running things the same great way as back then.
yea been researching this for 3 hours - 24 videos later yours finally provided the answer in a clear fashion - thank you
You can also use a field recorder (e.g. ZOOM H4NPRO) with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and XLR microphone. It gives a nice effect on DSLR plus you have a backup on the card for possible synchronization in the software if something needs to be corrected. It is a field and stationary solution :)
Hey Piotr, this is exactly what I needed to know. So I have an interface and a Tascam DR60D mk 2 and want to connect my XLR mic into the interface first, then connect the interface into the recorder. Would a TRS into the headphone jack on the interface to XLR on the recorder be best or is there a better way?
@@kristaylor7119 xlr straight to DR60D mkii it's made for that
I’m just installing my TH-cam studio and let me tell you... I finally understood how to connect my mic, audio mixer and camera!!!! I don’t have any tech background and it has been a headache to set everything up. Thank goodness I found your videos!!!
The best, guys and dolls, you can't actually fake no mater how hard you try videos I've seen in a long time.
I was looking for how to use good microphones with DSLR video recording. This is my first video I am watching on youtube. This is perfect. I don't need to watch anything else. Thank you.
Great thanks! This video just popped up on my feed, I had looked everywhere for it, need to upgrade but couldnt figure out how to hook the XLR to my camera. Praise the Lord.
You are such a audio king really i never thought like this way to possible record professional audio❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thank you so much…I’ve been having trouble with my yeti mic ever since I got it. All the videos tht I’ve seen makes it look like a plug an play (no interference issues) this explains a lot. God bless you!
I connected directly the Condenser Microphone BM-800 (XLR to Jack) into the Nikon D3300 DSLR and the sound is amazing
This is not only an essential video for beginners but a fresh look and review for experienced videographers looking for easy and inexpensive options. I'm a new subscriber!
This isgreat! Simple and to the point without leaving out any details. Thank you. This was super helpful.
Loveeee you for that thx. Was searching for hours for an answer how to connect it right. Thankkkkksss.
Extremely helpful content. Thank you so much for sharing this educational info.
Kia ora! Greetings from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Great video - thank you!! I recently brought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface for music and podcast recording then got super interested in Youtubing and vlogging. So I'm literally about to buy my first canon camera for basic vlogging/photos and I will try setting up my interface and XLR microphone first before I go out and buy more 'on-camera' mics. I'm just a beginner at all of it so the less I need to buy at the start the better! Great tips using different methods too - I'm sure I'll use some of those other methods along the way.
You have made every video that I need, microphone speaking. Awesome video!
THANK YOU! I have been looking for a good explanation on how to use an XLR microphone with a camera for so long. I’m definitely going to use method 5. I have heard about being able to sync the audio and video but I was afraid I would mess it up. Your explanation was so easy to understand. I love the 3 clap method as well. Again, great video man. Thank you so much for this.
And that is why in movie sets they use a clapperboard, besides having the clapping sound it could also contain useful information like lenses used or camera.
I had a 'lightbulb moment' realising this too, haha!!
Absolute gold right here! Thank you
Damn! I had no idea I could use my focusrite itrack solo to run a nice mic into my camera. As soon as I saw this clip in the vid, I hooked up the same way you did and now my audio quality is superb! and the focusrite doesn't even interfere with my windows sound setup, everything is separate and working together perfectly!
Blueyeti pro and sony a7sii working together like a dream!
Thank You for sharing. Now my gaming vids and commentary will be top quality!
the interface must be connected to the pc?
This was very helpful. Thanks for your time and expertise
THANK you this was awesome! I'm starting to record online courses and have a great mic and great camera and didn't know how to best get them working together. Very timely, exactly what I needed.
So glad I watched this cause I originally had my condenser mic set up through my audio interface to my iPhone and thought it was gonna be a huge headache when I got my first DSLR. I’m so glad it was as simple as buying a 1/4 trs to 3.5mm cable!! Thank you!!
Bruh, I'm literally crying my eyeballs out of so much laughter for part IV: Connecting a nightmare. You saved my life, as I was going through this route. 😂
Thank you my friend. I was just thinking if it would be better to record and sync. I have my answer now!
Bro your a real one for this
Thanks so much Matt, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch. Have a great one.
This was extremely helpful! I am need to audio stuff and wasn't sure if I could get away with using my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 with my Rode NTG4 and run that straight into my camera without purchasing an external recorder right now! Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you! This has finally helped solve my problem
nice to see that it is actually a pre-amps and not Analog-to-Digital converter a problem with a camera, so line-level signal sounds amazingly well. plan to record a guitar into a camera like this :)
namsate sir i am from india ,,, i am small youtuber ,thanx sir for giving this secret method .......i have search all video but no any body tell this trick but in your video i finaly got my solution......thanku very much👍
For the Scarlett, have you tried using the stereo outputs on the back and use the same method as the mixer's? Because afaik the Scarlett can also output a low latency audio through the stereo output. That way, you can use the headphone jack to monitor the audio, an added bonus!
I came here to see precisely that and was surprised that didn't happen. I'm wondering if it would have done any difference to the quality of the audio or not. *shurg* Would love to see that comparison but I can't seem to find a youtube video with the Scarlett being used to connect to a DSLR directly. I did see a review of another device in which the mains in the back would mute if you were using the headphone jack... Hope this wouldn't be the case here.
This saved me from a purchase I didn't need to make! Thank you!
you have cleared all my doubts! thanx.
Okay, this is awesome. I've been recording audio separately into Ableton and syncing later. For what I do, I think this might just be magic for me to take away the syncing element of my workflow. Thank you!
I’ve tried many things to tweak the audio but syncing in post is definitely the best option for me. The quality is incomparable.
Which program do you use for record the voice?
Thanks a lot for this informative video. You just saved my project.
Thanks a lot that was exactly what I was looking for !
Best video I’ve seen on this subject. Thanks
I literally have never benefited from a channel more than I did from this one
With the USB mic you can use a split cable in the USB mic thin connect one end to the camera and the other to a headset.
Very helpful, thanks!
And again a great video. Thanks man, you 🤘🏻!
I was hoping to be able to just run the mixer to the camera and avoid the extra step of syncing in post, but just realized my camera can't take an external mic. Clapping trick will certainly help speed things along. Thanks for the great video, I have learned a lot from your channel.
Thanks! You're so helpful
Wow! Really very helpful. I had just gotten a new XLR mic and an audio interface and was doing the sync method but direct to cam works for me as well through my AI. It was so simple idk why I hadn't already done it that way.
Awesome! Thanks so much! Was just trying to figure out the best method to get sound from the 2i2 into the a7S III. This was exactly what I needed.
Thanks for breaking this down across different sources. I don't own them all but it was nice to see how they operate. Been searching for a way to record my guitar/keyboard setup with minimal computer usage. This method should work and I think I already have everything I need.
Amp's cab sim out to mixer's mono line in via 1/4" > 1/4" RightLeft mono out from mixer to stereo 3.5 in to camera. Should be exciting to try out. Cheers.
woah. i have a pedal that has cab sims and stereo outs. never recorded in stereo before. the plot thickens..
Thankyou Bandrew! I can now use my XLR mic with my camera!!!
Bandrew thank you for educating us
the video that I've been looking for. thanks for creating this topic.
Or on the blue yeti to dslr camera set up, you use a headphone splitter and some forme of audio limiter or external dac if you want to listen to the yeti connected to the camera, this will also work with the audio interface.
You can connect a mic directly to the camera and have clean audio but to do so you'll need to utilize some forme of cloudlifter and a separate 48v phantom power box or a series of such devices for clean audio depending on the camera but this maybe completely impractical since the mixer would be the best option at that point.
Hi … thanks for sharing … hugely helpful!! 🙏
Great summary. Others may have commented that some video editors including Cyberlink Power Director have an auto sync function. It's saved me many hours and allows me to record the sound separately from my camera with a good handheld recorder. My camcorder Panasonic 770 has a mic input too and I sometimes use the Tascam stereo pair external mic plugged straight in.
If you have final cut pro you can highlight the audio clip and video clip simultaneously, right click + synchronize clips. Game changer.
I do this in most cases. Also for my podcast I have two camera angles and the audio file, and I highlight them and select “create multi angle clip”. The reason I did this is I wanted to demonstrate how to manually do it as the number of Mac users is still a fraction of windows.
Very informative! Thank you very much!
Thanks! I figured a XLR-3.5mm adapter wouldn't work well, but was curious to hear how it would sound.
This video was on point
This is the best video I’ve found in YT for this subject. Thanks!
Managed to use an old M box mini to get a decent input into a GH5. Thanks for the tip!
May the fucking god bless you. You frickingggggg Explained every details when other stupid youtubers saying blah balh blah. I don't know anymore i am soo happy
Great video as usual. I use to sync video and audio in post too. Clap, clap!!! Haha But I would suggest another option that i actually used when i had to record pieces for TV and I didn’t have much time for audio syncing: using the first gen of the iRig Pre (the one that has a 3.5mm TRRS plug)... This option “only” requires a mic, a XLR to XLR cable, the iRig Pre and any 3.5mm TRRS female to 3.5 TRS male adapter. Being able to select the gain on the iRig (which is battery powered) means that we can use the minimum possible amount of gain from the internal camera mic preamp. And it works. Tested.
Dang I should have tried that as well!!!!
Podcastage Well, for people getting into audio, its good to see how the nightmare scenario looks/sounds like! :))) Terrifying!!!
The Saramonic Smart Rig + has an output that works with camera (TRS) or iPhone (TRRS) without an adapter. Separate inputs (2) for XLR as well as (2) for 3.5 mm.
@@artjohnson01 Great option too! Same principle with two inputs... maybe the best solution for interviews on camera.
This is the most helpful video ever. Thank you!
Great explanation, except that i had to replay the bit on blue yeti at the begining a couple of times as when you were speaking the video wasnt doing what you were saying e.g. at the point of powering up the yeti you were plugging in the cable input. So just got confused there but then i got it.
Thanks!!!!! This was VERY helpful! Clear, concise and easy to understand even for me. 😜
The Clap tip is awesome, you're a boss. Thanks man.
Thank you for making this. I enjoyed this video.
what a brillant video! thanks!
Excellent video.
Bro you're a GENIUS!
Much gratitude for making these videos. Your tutorials are extremely clear and concise and I thoroughly enjoy watching them. This topic in particular is something I've been meaning to investigate and this video was the perfect launching point for further investigation. 👏
Thanks a lot... you made my life easy ❤
What about my headphone connection on part 3. Where do I connect my headphones ?
Thank you! Gonna try a couple of these!
I should have watched this video first. Explains everything well
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad this helped out.
El truco con el Blue Yeti está genial, Andrew es un genio de los micrófonos!!!!!
not 1M subs? It'll happen. Great content.
Glad i found this damn video been wanting to avoid syncing in post as im not the best and haven’t messed with it enough to throw up some quick typing sound tests so having an audio interface i now know i can connect it straight to my camera with that cable so this should help me whip up some quick decent sounding videos. Thanks mate for the great & simple explanations
Excellent video !
amazing, so simple, i enjoyed your last method the most, super obvious lmao
Thanks! This is exactly the info I was looking for.
Thank you so much. Very Thorough. I was looking for a shortcut or possibly a gadget I could buy to make filming videos with quality audio easy. But based on what you've shown, it appears that syncing in post sounds the best by far, even though it is an extra step.
You’re very welcome. Thank YOU for the find words. You’re exactly right, it is an extra step, but video editing software makes syncing so simple nowadays that it’s worth the extra 10 seconds to sync the audio and video on my opinion.
My man just got a subscription and a like for the clap idea alone lololol (the rest of the vid is dope too)
Very useful info! but i always thought people with this kind of cameras record audio and video individually
Yes, they should.
Even Leroy sanchez has used the same..its a long black microphone with a little red around.and the shock mount also seems to compliment the microphone like it's of the same brand
Great explanations, thanks for the video!
The 3 clap was genius!!!! Thanks!!!
I have lots of good quality audio recording gear, but I was considering going dynamic mic into the camera for simplicity and not having to sync in post.
This video was the wakeup call I needed.
God I'm lazy
Such a helpful video! Thank you!
Hi, thanks for showing your Method by using the gears available in your sound studio by connecting the camera direct from the mic output through the 3.5 phono jack.
I strongly recommend using Beachtek (Canada) and best of all the discontinued Juicedlink (USA) for easy and best result
Regards!
I figured it out myself. And my mind was very very happy with itself 😊
Thank you! This was most helpful
Straight to the point - thank you!
You are amazing. Thank you!!!!
WOW!!!!! Amazing amazing content and great explanation!!!
Great help!
Awesome! Thank you
