You sound like most of my mother's side of the family.... Italian from back east. Love it! Sound in this video was clear and the shop is coming along nicely. I also thought you were a bit younger! At our age, that is a good thing. Ciao, Anthony! Keep punching!
Anthony, mic sounded just right to me. Looking forward to seeing all the updates to the shop as you get them done. I ain't no spring chicken either...lol.
Your sound is perfect. Thanks for all the work you put on UA-cam and congratulations on that new shop. Can wait to see all the improvements coming along.
Hi Anthony, 30 year audio engineer here. Your lapel quality and placement on your shirt is fine. Always use a lapel or some sort of headworn mic when you are capturing audio in the shop. Never use a camera mic in an ambient space - the audio wont be usable. Be prepared to do voice over for B roll and any demos with loud tools. Stay consistent with your voice, and placement of the lapel and you will be ok. Any acoustic panels you can put up will help minimize the reflections that we hear as echo. You need to break up and ABSORB the energy that is bouncing around all the hard surfaces for audio to improve. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy learning a lot from them.
Voice was clear and volume good. Definitely a bit lively when you’re at the table saw, but not enough to affect intelligibility. I’d expect that once you get those cabinets in and break up those flat surfaces, the issue will resolve itself. I didn’t really notice equipment noise outside of when you were doing the cuts. I’d be interested to hear your approach for wrangling full sheets onto tables. I’ve got about ten years on you, spent the weekend on projects, moving lots of 4x8. And, I’m kinda feeling it today.
@@TheBiggerNoise I have a short that I uploaded a few days ago on using helpers on wheels for heavy plywood cuts. But this sounds like a good idea for a full video of my entire process of breaking down 4x8 sheets from start to finish. Stay tuned.
@@AnthonyScolaro1I’ve seen those Festool carts and that would be perfect. Hard to justify the price as a hobbyist (though I’ve never regretted the $ I spent on my Festool track saw). I know Laguna has an expandable table, not sure if it can do the tip & lift motion that the Festool can. Thanks for the reply and looking forward to that process video.
@@CustomWoodWorkDecor I’ve done a ton of research on what the big tech youtubers were using and what was reasonable cost. This system seems to be great and didn’t break the bank.
I do live video production full time. Audio quality is more important than video quality. People will watch a badly produced video as long as they can hear it, but if the audio is bad they will quickly tune out. The videos I hate the most are the ones with a lot of room echo as you describe. Most shops are not made to dampen sound and don't have good acoustics. The way to get around this is to move the microphone as close to your mouth as possible. That will help eliminate a lot of the room echo. So going with a lavalier mic or "lapel" mic is a good way to go. You've probably noticed Jason Bent wears his mic on the brim of his cap. That's a good solution if you are a cap wearer. I would not go with a shotgun or boom type mic in a shop. Most of the lower end comsumer lapel mics - Rode, DJI etc - are "omni-directlonal" meaning they pull sound from 360 degrees. This will still pull in some of that room echo. If you can find a lavalier mic that is directional - "cardiod" or "super cardioid" - meaning that the mic i primarily listening to what's directly in front of it - like your mouth rather than the backside of your camera - that will produce the cleanest sound. This is why you see most podcasters sitting with a table mic right up in front of them 6" or so from their mouth. Another way to eliminate room/shop echo is to put drop cloths, blankets or something soft on the on the floor to that will absorb the sound. You can also get sound baffles you can mount on the walls or poles. BUT, as I mentioned, the easiest fix is to simply keep the mic as close to your mouth as possible. Good luck. Your videos have been very helpful to me. If I can help you, please reach out.
We rented a Sennheiser wireless microphone system for a Kickstarter video, but couldn't get it to work with a Canon camera. It turns out that the microphone gain would need to be turned-down by 20 dB I found-out later. This video did seem a little echoey, but not too bad. It helps that you talk with your hands. My wife does that, but I yell at her in the car. "Stop waving your arms, people are going to think we're letting them go!"

Audio sounds good. Very natural not overly harsh. Whatever settings you are using, keep them.

mic sounds great Anthony. looking forward to the shop builds/updates!
Anthony. To get real results, you need to do a live broadcast from the shop & any adjustments can be made live on air. I hope this helps.
Audio sounds perfect to me good sir. Also, I have been watching you for years. Congratulations on the new shop; you've earned it my friend!
@@jamiemajerick91 thank you!
Sounds perfect to me!
BTW Anthony, the audio is this video is pretty clean. There's a little room echo but not overly objectional. You are on the right path.

@@ThomasLykins excellent info. Thank you.
Sound was quite good.
Sounds good Tony
Anthony mic sounds good, love your videos keep them coming

The sounds are great. You ever asked some other UA-camrs what they used? Either way, your mic is good. Almost no echo. Machines were low. Good job

Im not that worried about sound. I mean your videos have never sounded bad to me. Im here to learn and observe your builds but thats just me
Your mic sounds good.
I think the mic is fine it may just be the echo of the shop.
You maybe able to correct that somehow
I thought the volume quality was good. To actually muffle out background you need a mic cover. They usually look like lil muffs
@@Amber_Doucette yes, I think it’s called a dead cat lol or at least that’s what I’ve heard people calling it. Probably not the technical term for it.
