Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians!

As an audio engineer grad, I think many youtubers and content creators really need to learn about compression. The level of audio bounces from quiet to loud to quickly a lot of the time and a compressor will keep that nice and tight in volume!

Love the tip about staying at -12db, very useful!

0:52 "We kind of just put it together and hope it's good" 😐 I really felt that

[titussantiago]

Agreed! It's so important to the video making process. I'll actually stick around longer on a video if the audio is good. It's my pet peeve in many of the videos on youtube.

[stephenfasciale]

Didn't know that for the -12db! Thanks heaps 🤙

[AndrewCromarty]

Totally agree with you on this.

During my early vlogs I struggled so much with poor audio, so much so that I purchased a cheap shotgun mic for £20 and the audio vastly improved, as far as a dead cat I just found an old coat I was throwing out with a fur lined hood, cut out the fur and made my own mic dead cat cover for free.

That all said my most recent vlogs, I have solely been using a Rode Smart Lav+ and its brilliant, I just plug it into my mobile phone, record and Im away

On a final note I'd also agree with a hand clap to sync the audio so much so the hand clap has now become part of each intro to my vlogs.

Keep up the great work!

that was insanely night and day difference between the built in camera and mic... like WOW!

I really appreciate you admitting feeling like a novice with this.
Starting out, it was always so intimidating that all my idols seemed to know everything about everything. All round experts. Which is rubbish. I'm sure a lot of students starting out will see this and heave a sigh of relief - because they understand they understand the basics, now, but also realize they don't have to be experts.

I need to get a mic for video speaking auditions using a cell phone that fits on the stand. Sometimes have to be further back to show full body length when slating but usually waist up. Which one to get? Hiding wires sounds complicated but possible. Condenser lavalier probably best. Plug and play sounds good for not so techy person.

[roberttayala]

Very often I come to this video to go over these tips. They are always very helpful. Thank you Matti!!

[SantrelMedia]

I aspire to be like you one day! Haha I may only have 48 subscribers but it's people like you that push me to keep going. I have learned so much from your videos over the years! Thanks so much for providing all of this free content!

[novahynes]

Thank you for this great video! Audio is always a challenge and sometime it feels like I need a third hand for my Zoom. But with your tips, it will be easier and more enjoyable for me to record sound next time!

[michaelduff]

Excellent, succinct video explaining audio to a new filmmaker like myself. GREAT.

[mauricionerio]

I just came for the audio recorder machine for the shotgun Because I already hace an idea of the rest of the equipment because I’ve seen some of your videos previously you are such an amazing guys

[danielleboulgerphotography]

Really great tips! Until now I've mostly done still photography but am looking to get into cinematography, and this really helps. Thank you

[GriffinConway]

Thanks so much Matti! I was hoping you would make a video like this!! Would love to see a part 2 of this video of tweaking the sound in premiere pro 😄🙏🏼

Hey Matti - Tip # 1 - get a microphone! Yes, it might be stating the obvious, but there are so many inexpensive alternatives out there that there's really no excuse for not having a mic. As always - great tips for audio. And yes, don't put your "dead cat" through the wash!! LMAO All the best, Cheers Rick
