Your videos have helped me learn and improve my car reviews. I'm very thankful that you share this knowledge. I hope our paths cross one day, so I can shake your hand and say thank you 🙏🏼
Def do not use Gaff tape on a car. He's incorrect, its not designed to peel off easily. Its used for its strong adhesive, strength, and heat resistance.
The better the wind suppression (and high pass filtering native to the mics response curve), will allow for much better dynamic range and subtlety notes that are tough to pick up with the mud of the wind
Phone is so simple, and to admit I've never thought / tried that. Even the Rode II wireless mics taped onto the back get some wind noise for me on the Tacoma but, the phone I must try. Great video buddy, and the GTI is looking good nice setup with the new exhaust.
Need a little advice... I have a gopro 12 for filming but the audio is terrible when I do track days. The camera is internal but you just can't hear the engine or the exhaust. I'm not sure if the technical terms but sounds very tinny to me. What's the best add on microphone in this scenario
100% the biggest issue with my videos is not doing this. What to record and how to put it in my videos is my challenge. I have used my zoom H1n with a rode lav mic and that worked great!
I’m a videographer for a dirt track near me. I have been trying to get video and audio from the cars, but even with the camera audio levels set to the lowest level, the audio maxes out. Do you have any tips with a shotgun microphone that could help? I haven’t tried the dead cat, but I don’t imagine it’s going to prevent the audio from maxing out. I’m using a Canon R7 to shoot video.
You could try and get an external recorder with 32 bit float audio. It’s essentially like “raw” photos but for audio and gives you more flexibility in post production. Plugging a shotgun or mic into that could prevent the camera maxing out. Otherwise make sure there isn’t any +48 volt turned on if your microphone doesn’t need it, which unless it’s a bit shotgun mic you won’t typically. You could also add a “limiter” in camera which will try and max out the DB in camera to whatever you set it to, so like -3 or something and that could prevent it from peaking possibly.
I have a zoom h2n external mic and when running a lavalier 3.5mm external mic to the line input, the gain control on the h2n is only 0 through 10 but you can't go below that like -12 or -15. So when I set it at zero and I put the lav mic on the back bumper between the two exhausts I get terrible audio clipping at the top of second, third and 4th gear. And there's no way for me to set the decibel level below zero on the H2N So I'm curious if you use the wireless mics from movo or Rhodes... Do they allow you to control the decibel level or gain before it actually reaches your external mic? Can you set your game below zero on the wireless lavaliers first before that audio gets to your h2n or H4 external mic?
Only thing I would say is that about using free rev exhaust note over video is that the engine will sound diff under a load etc…. Just an observation as you’re obviously making videos leaps and bounds above any videos i’ve made
Great point. Often times those exhaust notes (for me) sit underneath a music track or something but if I’m going for accurate exhaust I’ll get those sounds overlayed, but if I’m just trying to set the tone with some sfx then a rev will do the trick 👌🏼
First off great stuff. I love your channel. You have helped me a lot. I disagree with the last part of the video though. It's fine to do this with permission. You should ask first and give credit. Capturing high level audio takes time, practice, and equipment. Taking audio off another video is plagiarism and is just as bad as taking the video and posting it as your own. I'd say better advice is to purchase sound packs from the people who have taken the time to create them. Support your fellow creatives. Again great work, great content, but maybe change that last one up to not promote plagiarism.
So with using a lav mic, does it not work using one connected to a iPhone and using the voice memo app? Or It would have to be with a camera like your recording a video but strictly audio would get used from the clip?
I have a tip, if anyone have forza / any reputable car game they can use the audio from that and the best part is they can control exactly what they want in terms of revs etc
That last one should not be included. "Cheeky"? No, more like disingenuous and fake. No one in recorded history has EVER wanted to watch a car video with audio that wasn't produced from the car that was in frame. Com'on man.
That intro speaks of effort you have put in..!! A great video for beginners.

Great video Alex! Super helpful
Great info, I hadn’t thought about placing the wireless mic in the boot and then attach the lav to the car.

Super helpful as always man!!
Bro, the license plate on your GTI is nuts!🫶🏻
Man you are like my school teacher.. I am learning alot from your channel,, new automotive youtuber here..thanks
All valid solutions and tricks, have most definitely utilized each and every one haha. Well done on the vid.
I love that so many of these options are affordable and use gear that we likely already have

Thanks a lot, I've using a lav mic lately but the wrong way. Will try this method soon
That exhaust sounds good wish I'd waited for the AWE exhaust
This was awesome dude! Thank you so much
Cheers brother! Thanks for watching. 👊🏼

5:00 what are the benefits of using the lav mic and the wireless mic? Or is it one or the other
Possibly less to tape? Lighter product, easier to maneuver or get into hard places. Not sure the reason I did this in particular 🧐
Thanks for replying, did you use both together?

what music bed song did you use at 4:13 and what genre is it?
thanks for that video!!
Thanks very interesting!
Does anybody know how to make that artifical camera shake at 0:16? Do you just get that by using keyframes ti move to picture up and down?
I've tried this on premiere pro, but its using keyframe to make it, someone told me to use aftereffect for that shakke
5:02 I thought this was wireless, are you using the lav or wireless mic in this one?
Lav clipped even on -30 db…
I have a zoom h2n external mic and when running a lavalier 3.5mm external mic to the line input, the gain control on the h2n is only 0 through 10 but you can't go below that like -12 or -15.

My mic keeps peaking when filming the exhaust sound. Any tips?
Just got a Sennheiser G4 LAV mics and tried to get some audio. Had some problems with static coming from it. Any ideas?

@@TheCarCreativeyou have it figured out already obviously.
cant believe im this early
how to set up 6:07 ? with Zoom and that Wireless=?

That’s a great idea! If you have a lav that connects to your phone do that! I didn’t think of that 🙌🏼
@@TheCarCreative That was my initial thought, then run it to the back bumper.
Now I’ll definitely have to try!
Did it worked ? @RishMedia
I have a tip, if anyone have forza / any reputable car game they can use the audio from that and the best part is they can control exactly what they want in terms of revs etc
Or just record the actual audio from the car you shooting 🙃
Bro, Forza sounds aren't even close to be realistic... just use the real car
@@soundmoddinglawyeractually a lot of big car games do get actual recordings of the cars
What about Zoom h1n? 😢
That last one should not be included. "Cheeky"? No, more like disingenuous and fake. No one in recorded history has EVER wanted to watch a car video with audio that wasn't produced from the car that was in frame. Com'on man.
are there any wireless lav mics that can handle 130-ish DB?
