mann, You deserve way more subscribers. This video has to go viral. It helped me so much. Been struggling with white noises for all my videos. Although I get to fix it with the compressor plugging and equalization, it takes me long time editing. I really appreciate this, hopefully its going save me way more time now editing my videos. Excellent Job!
You're welcome. I feel like a lot of people have had to work harder than they needed to. If only Canon would focus a little more on the audio. Glad it helped. :)
Dude!!! I couldnt find the 5th red menu,then someone else said the menus are based on the shooting mode and boom there it was. Did 3 clicks avove zero, plus 20 db on the rode mic n boom no buzzing noise. Man this has drove me nuts for months, i was shooting on my phone because of it. I could hug you right now. Ty sooooooo much! Subbed!
You're welcome. Yeah it's too bad most canon cameras still have this auto gain problem. As long as the manual settings are down and you add decibels from another source you'll be good. This was just the way I learned, but I'm sure there may be other ways. :)
Nice find, or.... if you hook the mic up to your mobile (use the TRRS adapter, or buy a TRS-USB adapter) and record with the built in sound recorder, it is a much cleaner sound. Sound sync can then be done in Davinci resolve for free using auto waveform matching.
Excellent video very informative exactly the issue I've got now. Virtually silent recordings but I can boost the audio in Davinci resolve so its ok, but does mean I cant really check my clips until I'm editing.
thanks this was helpful and surprisingly entertaining. I've been trying to figure out a quick way to record my audio jams into my camera without compromising audio quality too much and this method seems like it could improve my flow. Cheers
If you put the camera in Manual Shooting Mode (M), and have it set to video then your audio settings should appear in the menu. Should be labeled something like Sound Recording.
Hey I have a question, I just have gotten a cheap headphone amplifier from Amazon to see if it works. And it didn't work. So I think there is something different with Indigo amp vs other headphone amps. Logically specs are the same. So I'm still wonder. Do you have any idea ? or should I get the indigo amp ? thank you for the great video.
I'm not quite sure. A headphone amp really just turns up the gain from the source, which is what you want. The only thing I can think of is maybe the cable is a TRRS (for phones) instead of a TRS (for cameras and other devices).
@@joeytesting Thank you for reply. Volume actually works on amp but max volume was still less than not using amp at all. So I am suspecting my cable. Because amp works on headphone fine. Also I have ordered one thats +20db preamp with phantom power so will see. Btw I am using movo vxr700 on canon m50.
I have a small movo mic as well similar to a Rode VideoMicro. And I was just thinking of doing a test with the mic and add a powered headphone amp to it, to see what the sound difference is. Thanks for the reminder. :)
You're always gonna get some hiss from the Canon cameras, at least the older models. Unless you turn the manual db all the way down, but then you're effectively putting it on mute. This is the best way to get relatively clean audio for Canon owners. (Without doing anything in post.)
The only way to reduce hissing on a canon is to turn the manual settings as low as you can, and then increase the audio gain with an external source. If a Rode mic has +20db increase then that might be the best you can get.
I have been trying to find an affordable external amp. Thanks for this. Was there any other audio clean up done in post production to this video? Thanks, Joey!
No I'm not very good at post production. I just took the clips I shot and edited them together and exported. That's why the second part is really low, because I wanted people to hear the actual impact. As long as the manual settings are lower and you add decibels through a mic or other device you won't have a hissing problem. :)
@@joeytesting Thanks so much, Joey! You can see my channel here: ua-cam.com/channels/MnJ2vdocE_ix1lU3_5LntQ.html It is a work in progress, and I am trying to make changes to improve between new videos. A few were really bad with lighting and audio. The Canon 600D (Rebel t3i works, but leaves a lot to be desired).
En la cámara debes bajar el volumen a 4 click después de cero. En el micrófono debes usar el switch de +20db. De este modo tendrás muy poco ruido (hiss) proveniente de preamplificador de la cámara
If it's in manual mode there should be a section in the settings for audio. The On or Off might be to turn Auto on or off. Turn Auto off then see if you can change the settings.

Outstanding video. Told me everything I need to know to get rid of the hiss without sacrificing overall sound volume.
Glad you were able to work the solution. :)

As long as you have a mic that adds 20 DBs and you turn the camera gain down you'll have much better audio.
Hi joey
Please help me find the audio settings i can seem to find it. Where is it exactly. Thanks

All of them have hiss. I can hear on my Sennheiser PXC 550. BUT the last one was the cleanest.

Hey man, i can still hear the hissing even with all the changes You did. Do you think that buying a Rode mic will fix all that hissing?

Thanks it would be great if you could show cause when you don’t know anything about camera and microphone, it is a little bit hard
This was actually just a first test video. Maybe I'll do another one with more visuals.
@@joeytesting ok thank you so much
Thank you Joey very hepful, I will check for the amplifier!
It basically comes down to the internal camera pre-amp introducing all the noise/hiss, so any way to not use that the better. Glad to help. :)
@@joeytesting I just changed the sound to manual and lowered the volume like you showed, I will see how it goes without the amplifier. Thank you again
Glad you were able to get it to work. Hope it has helped. :)
Joey Testing yes thank you again!
Alguien que me diga el resumen en español?
En la cámara debes bajar el volumen a 4 click después de cero. En el micrófono debes usar el switch de +20db. De este modo tendrás muy poco ruido (hiss) proveniente de preamplificador de la cámara
Thanks for summarizing that in Spanish.
@@joeytesting I'm just translating your wisdom, thank you
hey.when i connect mic to camera i will see MIC OFF icon.my camera is canon 77D.i sure my mic is intact and that is BOYA-M1
I'm not sure of Canon 77D, but are you in Manual Video shooting mode? Also have you changed your Audio settings from Auto to Manual as well?
you need to make more videos.
Thanks. I will. This was actually just supposed to be a test account. Hence the name. :)
how to connect a headphone amp on camera? any instruction ?
The microphone out from the cable will go to the amp's in port, then with an aux cord out from the amp to the mic input on the camera.
@@joeytesting thank you!
how do i get to audio.. just shows on or off
If it's in manual mode there should be a section in the settings for audio. The On or Off might be to turn Auto on or off. Turn Auto off then see if you can change the settings.
When will canon step up their audio game? *smdh*
Hopefully the newer models don't have the same audio issues.
THANKS... BUT CANT AUTO....t_t
Can't auto what? Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help.
