How To Have Better Audio In Video Production

By Phyllis Schroeder


Digital recording equipment these days are getting more and more accurate when capturing audio. It is now possible to capture audio with crisp and vivid details. Of course, there are still distracting noises that get captured that might ruin the whole video production Edmonton. To save up wasting your films, here are some tips to have better audio.

First, you have to make sure that you are using the right microphone for the filming. There are different types of microphones available in the market these days. You must make sure that the right microphone is positioned at the right spot since that can make a big difference in the result of the film you are shooting.

When you are filming, you better pick a good shooting location. The shooting location should be scoped out beforehand. Avoid picking locations with problematic audio environment. If this is unavoidable, then try to identify the problem noise sources. You might want to consider doing something about these problem noise sources then.

There are cases when you have to shoot outdoors. Thus, you must ensure that your microphones are properly protected especially from the wind. You will be required to put on wind protection on your microphone so that no wind noises will be captured. It is also a way of protecting the microphone from damages.

Capturing the audio with a separate record is highly recommended too. There are cameras these days with automatic gain circuit which then maintains your input recording levels. However, even with that, the audio might not be as good. If you have a separate recorder, you can control levels yourself and obtain the results you desire.

A dedicated audio software can come in handy as well. That is why you must consider using this when you are editing the film. Of course, you should start by familiarizing yourself with how to use the dedicated audio software. You must learn how to work on the audio through these software to obtain a good result.

When it comes to the audio software, you have to practice a lot especially with making smooth edits. You have to become more proficient at doing smooth edits since they are virtually unnoticeable as long as they are executed properly. A little practice and you can do a good job already. You have to be an expert then.

Some concepts must be familiarized in the said production. If you want to get better sounds, then you have to be aware of what concepts like mixing and EQ are. You must learn how to mix audio well since this takes more than just adjusting the volume levels. EQ will make the voices stand out as well as minimize the extra rumblings.

You have a number of secret weapons you can employ to get better sounds. If you remember what equipment you can use in the film, even when they are not used primarily for what you have in mind, you can surely get better sounds for the film. You must learn what equipment you can use as your secret weapon beforehand then. It should be worth it.
