funny, and some good tips, but what's with your levels?!?! your music is super loud and I could barely hear the dialog, this is true on pretty much all of your videos but especially this one!

[indymogul]

The idea is that Steve is editing this and he still hasn't learned all his lessons, so the audio is whack - wait until Part 2 when he's learned it all!

[Blunty3000]

Very funny skit, but please, if you're going to try to tell people how to make their vids sound GOOD, lead by example, this sounded hollow and terrible, the levels were all over the place(especially the music at the end which was about 2x as loud as anything else in the vid). I dig what you guys are doing, but don't try to teach what you don't know all that well.

[indymogul]

This will all be explained in part 2. Steve the character is still learning !

[nerradus]

For a film about sound the audio is pretty bad, levels all over the place and badly mixed.

But you did have some good tips in there, maybe you should watch your own stuff for some pointers and practice them for the next one ;)

...What's the max range on the telescopic... Oops, I mean shotgun.  I was talking to someone about telescopes. I think I asked him to follow that person in the distance with a shotgun.

[pmaddison]

Cool video. All the language was clear. What's the max range on the telescopic mic you were using?

[officialmcsi]

Incredible! I subscribed. Very helpful and extremely entertaining! Brilliant. Can you record sound on a dictaphone and then use that?

[JW77ILM]

This is ironic

[thepony233]

What does he mean by recording the sound for a minute or two and then underlaying it? Can someone explain how to do that with, for example, final cut express?
