NOTE: I did not edit the audio in this video because I wanted you to hear the quality of the mics without any edits! :)

I will probably go for the Shure for my interviews and I am looking to upgrade my old Tascam to a more recent Zoom H4 essential or something like that.

[@Methistic]

Finally! Something good on audio. ❤️

[@evagalova]

Please make a video about the mics you have and use!

[@cwTheDrummist]

I love my Shure SM7B! I love how Adobe makes editing audio so straightforward. And I love how you make all of this so easy to understand!

[@wstks-fmworldwide5390]

Helpful advice as always with a few new things to consider! It's funny how we acquire a collection of microphones. They almost seem to breed.

[@OzTrax4X4]

I myself use a Shure VP83F Lenshopper and bang for buck it is a pretty awesome shotgun mic for what I use it for.
Now just to upgrade the DSLR to something mirrorless....

Welcome back Lila ❤

[@SantosChronicles]

I have all these type of mics but would have helped if I watched this video first so I know the best for each area. Took forever to figure out how to get the reverby room. Thanks for sharing more options. Are you at VidSummit this year?

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

In the semi budget category there is the Shure MV7 you recommend and the Elgato Wave 3. Wondering which sounds better. Shure M7db is often considered the king of mics with its top mic. Wondering how it does on its mid-tier MV7 USB vs Elagato Wave 3?

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Really great info and video.

[@michaelmarcano9200]

I'm down for a mic comparison.

[@Methistic]

I have a question! Which is the best format for irl recordings and ign recordings ? Ik these are two different types but im kinda curious about it

[@AndreSjoberg]

Totally agree, the «music really low in the background» trick to «fill out» the audio a bit if the speech track isn’t great is super useful - anyone hating on that little trick just have other problems in their life they need to deal with asap ;)
Also, it’s great for creating a casual or energetic vibe, loungey cafe hangout feeling or just smoothing things out, especially if cutting a little bit of frequencies in the area where speech frequencies are most prominent :)

[@AnthonyTadle]

Ok Lila at it again! Been a while my friend. Good to see you.. let’s gooooo

[@AllenRReid]

I like the speech enhancement feature, but feel I have to turn it way down to keep the voice from sounding too robotic.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Oh same! I usually set it to +/- 3

[@JerrHEES]

Do that video

[@trakahamid]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fallouts9869]
