      Thanks for the video. Have you tested at how long distance you can keep the mic from your head and still get good quality audio? I have been really trying to research this thing. I'm thinking whether I should buy a shotgun mic or would DJI Mic be reasonably good

      Only thing that's not mentioned that IS worth mentioning is that some of the features Jeven mentions are new features. I hadn't updated my DJI Mic firmware since purchased...'cause I had no problems. I'm guess sooo many people who have had this for better than a year haven't looked for an update.
      Features since they first came out are:
      REC Stop Lock
      Auto Record
      LED Brightness (both RX and TX)
      Auto RX Power Off Option
      The main menu I'd also altered and easier to go to the RX settings.
      Thanks Jeven! Great Vid, this really helps explain some settings and would have saved me hours of trial and error.

    Just a quick tip for folks synching their backup recording in post using Final Cut Pro :
    - Import your video and your audio file, then select "create multicam clip". This will usually instantly synch your audio with your video. Saved me a lot of time!

  • @danmohan1981
    @danmohan1981 Рік тому +81

    I'm a pro-audio guy. Pretty good explanation, but to clarify gain staging, the steps ought to be 1) set the transmitter gain so it is in the range you desire (probably just into the yellow as an average), 2) set the receiver gain so that it is also averaging just into the yellow, 3) set the camera input gain so it is averaging just into the yellow. This is common gain staging technique, and once you've done it a few times, it's really easy to do on-site and on-the-fly. Every scenario is going to be different, so it really ought to be done for each shoot.
    As for the low-cut, 150hz is a little on the high side, so I would generally suggest leaving the low-cut off and adding a filter in post if it's needed. For reference, most audio consoles that have a low-cut button (and no adjustable frequency) have it somewhere between 80 hz and 120 hz.

      Could I ask a specific question : I will be recording some shots in which there will be chainsaw use. So, medium / loud audio while saw is idling, then very loud audio when the saw is running full throttle. Are the "safety" channels sufficient for this kind of recording or should something different be done? Just curious.

    • @danmohan1981
      @danmohan1981 Рік тому +2

      @@SouthernItalyHomestead Unfortunately, the answer is, "it depends". I suspect that the safety channel will be a sufficient differential, but maybe a creative edit where the sound of the chain saw is covered by music may be a good option if it doesn't work out.

    Exceptional video, Jeven. Lots of invaluable information, clearly explained. Kudos to you! Two small things I noticed: At 5:56, after talking about the 6db pad on the Mono with Safety track, you say that the backup recording is "-20db lower." I knew what you meant--that's it's actually -6db--but it might cause confusion to some. The other thing is something I just learned moments ago on another excellent UA-cam tutorial--after you update to the new firmware released in January (Vers. 2.00.72.87), you can now completely turn off the LEDs on the transmitters while using them. Granted, this is not about sound, but I thought you might like to know. All in all though, this was an outstanding tutorial and I'm grateful you took the time to make it.

    Best advice is to lower the camera gain as far as possible, because that's generally where noise is introduced the most (especially with Canon cameras). Then you have only TX and RX to worry about.

      @@KN-mi7mh You have to try with different values to find the sweet spot, but keep the camera gain value as low as you can while still getting a decent signal. There should be some kind of audio meter in the camera to show you the level being picked up, so use that to keep around -6 db max.

      @@KN-mi7mh i'll give you my personal example, i usually work with canon camcoders and set the camera volume between 15 and 20, auto gain is too high, from there, i set the rx gain in a -5 and tx gain +4, works fine at loud enviroments, i usually do live streaming of youth football so the crowds are very noisey here in Mexico, but you have to sometimes play with the mic values depending on how loud the backround noise is, if it´s too loud i go down in the rx at a -6.

    I watched your beginners tutorial. I was specifically interested in the sound settings (mono, stereo, mono s), technicalities aside, I found the most intuitive way to set the sound up to your desired channel/setting was simply to plug in some external headphones to use as monitors while you are setting up. That gives instant feedback while you play with the settings. Quicker than recording various clips, uploading to your computer, trying to ascertain what speaker the sound is coming out from. This method gives you realtime feedback. Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing.

    Excellent job, 1st-Class production!! (jealous, btw). I can give insight for those asking about a Sony A7iv in which you MUST boost the Rx gain a lot (at least +10), if you want to keep the Sony's Audio Level as low as possible; seemingly every pro-audio expert's advice. I have a very strong "speaker's" voice, and yet, my Tx really needs to be at +6 to even tap the Yellow. Hope this helps.

Of course I'm going to play around with different settings but based on that info what would you say would be the best settings in regards to mono/stereo or do you think it would be better to just hit record on all transmitters and have them all set to mono?
