Audio is not easy. And motovlogging is among the most challenging genres for it. I just (jokingly) chewed out Uncle Red for his release schedule. I'm such a hypocrite. 😂
@@throttle_up 🤣🤣 Yeah, that's a bit rich.... you both need to sort yourselves out. 🤣🤣 I don't want to wait another six months for the next part of this.
You earned my sub due to your phenomenal audio quality! The lack of wind noise, picking up the engine tone, clarity of coms is all fantastic. That’s something I really struggle with, I think because I use a flip front helmet. What’s your audio set up? I’m always looking to improve. PS : You’d be helping out a fellow biking ‘tuber by throwing a sub my way. Very near to the 1000 goal now!
Thank you for the compliments. Audio is something I've always struggled with. (Check out my earliest vids for proof of that). I think the first thing I did was to care about it. (And I know you appreciate that). That made me go and learn. I was fortunate enough to come late enough to the game to benefit from using DaVinci Resolve as my editing suite. It has a ton of features and a really healthy tutorial community on YT. So that software is a vital piece of the setup. The only mic I've used throughout is a Purple Panda lavalier. One thing I have never done is wire it up to a camera. At first I plugged it into a cheap mobile phone, but that didn't have a proper input gain, so I bought a Tascam audio recorder which I carry in my pocket. Set the levels at -12db, press record and it'll keep going all day. I also now have a DJI radio mic kit whose transmitters can be used in the same way, and they are small enough to be clipped onto the inside of my summer mesh jacket. The Tascam is too big for that. Even with all that, though, wind noise is still a problem. Even with all the EQ, compression, noise reduction that Resolve offers, it all still needed one final thing - spending a bit more money. I bought an audio plugin which uses a machine-learning powered Voice Isolation feature. And then, of couse, Black Magic Design incorporated the same kind of feature into the Studio version of Resolve, and that was even better, so I bought that too. The clarity of comms is something of a cheat. My brother and I shared each others' audio recordings. :-) But trust me, I still spend hours in post on the audio. Just one last tweak.... I'm hugely uplifted at the thought that you have subscribed - it means a great deal because I can see the effort you put into your vids. I've found motivation for editing somewhat short in supply recently. This has really helped. Oh, and I've been a subscriber of yours for a few months now. ;-)
With added epic music. Thx .
I'm glad you liked it. I'll have to grab some more for the next episode.
Yay!
It has only been six months.
This really does make me think I need to sort out my audio. I'm genuinely looking forward to more of these.
.... and it's about time too.....
