KODAK Zi8 Internal mic VS Sony ECM-DS70P (External)

[mattis09]

for me the internal micro is the better one

[Mattojas]

The static noise that appear after you plug in the external mic is kinda annoying. I have the same problem when I record with my stereo-microphone :/

You sorta get a high-pitch noise :S

Any idea of how you get rid of that noise?

Answer would really help :)

@Mattojas hey man,

sorry for the late reply.

The only way I can think of to remove the noise is with some sort of post processing. EQ it out or something. I cant experiment with the settings anymore cos my camera was stolen :(

Knowledge Is Power, Now Give Us Yours. what is the name of the song?

[TeohEH]

@ShadowCloud143 It's my attempt to play "I Shot the Sheriff" :P

[ShadowCloud143]

@TeohEH That May Be An Attempt Sir , But You Could Still Teach Us How Your Playing It.

[koolaid22222]

i just know they both sound fancy!

[adrianjackass17]

haha bigg ass diferance!

[phaedrabandatlanta]

I think the Sony mic sounds better than plugging in an H2 into the Zi8

[AgentCProductions]

Nice playing...

[TeohEH]

@AgentCProductions thanks!

[flyazn91]

WILL YOU DO A GUITAR TUTORIAL????

[TeohEH]

@flyazn91 ermm....im such a good teacher :)

plenty of awesome tutorials around youtube..thanks for listening tho :)

[fwupow]

The first mic seemed to capture the highs much better.

[fwupow]

@fwupow I shud say however, that the first mic also included noticeable white noise. I wud guess that the best solution would be a shotgun mic pointed right at your guitar soundboard, but what do I know?

[4x12]

Nice playing dude and I like your version...

[TeohEH]

@4x12 thanks :)

[Treasurefan02]

From all the vids I've watched, the audio doesn't sound as bad as people have been saying. It's not the best, but heck, it's better than dropping big bucks on cumbersome mics =)

[TeohEH]

@Treasurefan02 I guess the best is try it urself ...eh?

[pspnichol]

what song were u playing?

[TeohEH]

@pspnichol my crappy i shot the sheriff cover. :D

[johntsingis]

The very end of the song sounds like I Shot The Sheriff.

[TeohEH]

@johntsingis IT IS from that song! :)

[kalakalachuchu]

can this mic be inserted in sanyo hd2000?

[TeohEH]

@kalakalachuchu Not sure about the sanyo hd2000 man. If the sanyo comes with an audio input that support mini jack ins...then i would guess that this mic will work wit it.

[FCBarcelona52]

where did you get the sony mic and how much did you pay for it?

[TeohEH]

@FCBarcelona52 Hey man,

I didnt buy it. I borrowed from a fren. But i just ordered a fake sony from ebay. i think around 5USD. I'll do a test a gain when i get it.
