One-minute demo on using external microphones

[beauch]

Haha. Awesome.

[Kittyfeet69]

It's just the zoom, in the second half of the vid. The first half is just the eyeball camera mic.

[KungPhooey7]

did you use any external mics with the zoom? or is that just the zoom itself?

[orbidoig1]

When you switched mikes it seemed like the vid+ sound went out of sink(sic)?

[grezzbop]

when you hold the H2 in your hand does it pick up all of the hand movements? have you tried using an external mic? does that make a difference?

sorry if dumb question, i'm new to this

[MooKYTheStar]

I bought the book!

its great!

[Exoticy1]

@MooKYTheStar i bought the book and i love it too, but i kinda feel like a noob considering i'm reading a book about about i website i could just go to and learn about, but i luv, just a bit embarassed :)

[Giulifi]

how do i record audio only?

[Giulifi]

with webcam

[sleepyduo37]

I just bought one, it's great, what I love most is I can put the camera far away from my subjects and the end result will have perfect on location audio.

[synthetickat]

Separate audio in post? As in, ADR? Or just a better mic in production?

(I'm a film student. I graduate in 5 months and freaking LOVE this! =D)

[Kittyfeet69]

No, not ADR. recording with while I did the talking, both with the H2 and with the crappy onboard mic on the eyeball camera. Used latter first, and former second.

@synthetickat

You love what?  The H2?

[thosetwofilms]

this was so helpful to me. thanks a lot!

[AmFilms123]

Wow, so true. Great example. Thanks :-)

[AGentertainment]

Great video Michael!

[liberado]

Did you apply some filter to the ZOOM H2 recording of this video?

Compression?

Levelator?

EQ?

[Kittyfeet69]

levelator.

[DIGITALADYDOTCOM]

YES! Love it! We used that for ambient sound recordings of birds in the rain-forest. Turned out beautiful! Miss you MWD. Keep it comin!

[liberado]

Impressive!!

[Xero817]

Put the lime in the coconut. Put `em both together.

[ModeratelyNeatO]

Damn thats A Badd *** Microphone!

I Want It!

[esotericsean]

Hehe, "web" cam.

I'm surprised how cheap the Zoom H2 costs. It sounds fantastic.

[iamcalledmatthew]

how much does it cost? im looking into an external audio recorder, and everything is extremely expensive.

[esotericsean]

$180 on Amazon, as low as $150 on ebay, $200-$300 in stores

I actually got to play with one not too long ago, it's pretty impressive. Great for small productions, I'd say :)

[iamcalledmatthew]

thanks!

[vjk1980]

thats great but when you switched over your mouth didn't sink up with the audio. just saying.

[fallofautumndistro]

Full and sexy and beautiful.

[B1ueCadet3]

i agree. very very.
