Also so that I don't have to worry about someone else fumbling around with my equipment. I'll pull your recorder or tell you it's ok to pull it. I don't want anyone fiddling around behind my speakers
I am always confused by male or female xlr. I started by brought wrong xlr connector to the dj and could not record that day. Even to today I still do not know which end should use on dj mixer or speaker. But since now I just bring one cable end at male and another one end at female. So if one is not right just use another one. But I would be happy to figure out which end we should always use.
One rule of thumb I've always gone with is, the further from the mic your recorder is, the more that can go wrong. Of course you always want 2-3 audio sources, but if you can get a voice recorder onto the mic itself (Sony TX650), you'll be further ahead.
I don't mind putting a lav on a mic stand hidden below the mic but I don't love putting something on the mic itself. I've done it plenty of times, don't get me wrong but I feel like I get some handling noise or popping depending on how they hold the mic. In the end though, If you've got an extra recorder it's never gonna hurt to add another source! - Bobby
Thanks! This helped. I'm trying to figure out how to record direct mic input through a restaurants PA system. I do video for a comedy show hosted here so I'm on a mission to figure out how I can get that to sync it with my videos
Should be able to find an output somewhere if there is a sound board, or if they're using wireless mics you might have an extra output on the mic receiver
@@WeddingFilmSchool yeaa i came to a a similar conclusion, this vid helped a ton! im gonna invest into a zoom H6 to capture the audio and that should pretty much solve my problems. hopefully once i get it, just gotta plug the things into the right place. thats the real challenge tbh, there cable management is horrid🤣
Super helpful video, Bobby. This is what I wish I had 3 years ago when I started. It would've avoided so many audio mess ups. I find it crazy how many people don't ever plug directly into the receiver! I recently posted a video about this on my instagram story because the DJ had music playing during the speeches. Fortunately, I was plugged into the speaker AND the receiver. The receiver didn't pick up the music :)
I mean if the levels are set the same they could all theoretically sound the same. Check out some of our film breakdowns as those show you the audio source so you’ll hear a mix!
What if I want to record the music in a live band using a tascam? I want to record in multitrack, how is that done? How do I plug into the soundboard they use? Do you have a video regarding this? Thanks, sorry for so many questions I’m just new
If it's a live band at a wedding just get a master out and you can run that into the dr40 or something that is more current (this video is pretty old). The sound board could have any of the three options listed in this video as an out and then you'll just need to make sure you have the appropriate cable to xlr
Great video man. I've been shooting weddings for years and I always ask the clients to make sure that the DJ has a line out from his soundboard for speeches etc. I have almost never had a good experience plugging into speakers. The feed into the recorder isn't clean and is often distorted/noisy/hot. A sound buddy of mine told me that the signal is looping through not only the board but the actual speaker and it's never a good idea to use it for a clean feed. Just curious if you ever run into this problem.
While I've totally had some messed up feeds I would say it's rare. I would say my go to audio used in over 90% of my films the last 18 years is a feed from the DJ is some way (speaker, sound board, mic receiver, etc). Makes me think it's something on your end.Are you using a recorder that can handle line levels? They are different than mic levels and require the correct recorder or to use an attenuator
how about bringing own audio interface then plug the mic there? so you can record with separate tracks.i havent tried it yet but i saw here youtube do that.
Hi Bobby! Best video by far for learning how to record for reception and Ceremony. I actually have my first wedding in 2 days and I am so worried about how to set up my Zoom H5. I just got it recently not exactly sure on whats the best settings. Please let me know if you can help me out on this. It does 24 Bit.
Do I need stereo/left and right audio for wedding or is it more common to just use mono? Also if I just plug into the left xlr will it only capture the left side or will it be mono?
I would also listen to a DJ’s point of view. Nick Spinelli recently posted a video about this topic. I can tell you I wouldn’t let you plug into the back of my speakers. Mic system I can accommodate but please don’t touch my boxes I’ll gladly do it for you.
If I'm working with a DJ who knows their system, will let me test levels and plug in at least a primary recorder, then I don't care who plugs it in, I just need what I need to deliver the product I"m hired to deliver....it's a team game and we can both win ya know? Also I would say 9/10 DJs want me to plug into their speaker (and I try to talk them out of it, or I put my backup there). I want the mic feed as early as I can get it before it goes through anything else in your system that might introduce noise or might be affected by music / levels - Bobby
@@WeddingFilmSchool 100% its about working as a team to delivery the product to the couple! here's the video I was talking about, I think its great that both sides are starting to communicate more. ruclips.net/video/USq7eUq-lj8/видео.html
I HAVE BOYA BY-WM8 Pro-K1 UHF transmitter Sometimes I can't get a signal from the mixer and sometimes I do, it's clear to me that it's something in the mixer because the transmitter is working. Is there something special in the mixer that needs to be activated in order for it to send a signal? In the same connection another receiver like ZOOM1H does work and my transmitter does not receive a signal
Hey man, Great Video! I am recording Audio for the first time at a wedding and am obviously very nervous due to very minimal Audio Knowledge. Is there any way I can use a Rode Wireless GO for recording Audio from the DJ's Mic? this is my only piece of audio gear apart from a shotgun mic.
Shotgun mic is worthless for weddings outside of ambient audio if that is your thing. And the rode is not meant for that type of recording. You need something that can take a feed from the board specifically
I have a big question! I followed the advice for which cords to buy, but I have a budget tascam (dr-05x) and none of my cords plug into it! Which adapter should I use for this issue, if there is one?? Thanks!!!
I don't think the dr05 is meant to take a feed from a board. I think that doesn't even have any inputs if I remember correctly. Sell it and get the correct gear. A dr40 Is like the same price I think
How can we record all audio from a Dj sound board direclty into a H1n recorder for weddings, I face audio clipping when the connect it, I keep Limiter On and Audio Levels In Auto Levels, yet it clips. Should consider placing the H1n recorder directly in front of the speaker, incase audio speaker doesnt have a audio out port. what do you suggest.
H1 isn't meant to take a line level from a sound board. It might be possible with an attenuator but really you should get something that is meant to connect that way
Great question....I guess I haven’t been disinfecting. Also I’m the only one who touches it and then it sits in my garage or a closet until the next wedding but definitely makes me think!
@@WeddingFilmSchool yea i mean its possible since we might touch the other thing and then touch back our camera gear. I got a video shoot soon so still clueless on how to disinfect camera gears
I filmed my first wedding and plugged my 1/4" into a receiver. Now, there were 2 receivers on the dj's table. I was in a hurry, so I plugged into one of them. I thought I was seeing a signal...but wound up getting 30 minutes of silence. I'm still learning audio. Has anyone seen an audio set up like this? Or at least tell me what you think happened?
You plugged into a receiver that probably wasn't used. Communicate with the dj to make sure you are plugged into the receiver for the mic that will be used for speeches. If you are plugging into the receiver it will ONLY get audio from the mic, nothing else. If you want all of the audio from the day you'll need to plug into the back of a speaker or the sound board - Bobby
Isn’t the tascam Dr10x a mic in recorder? Wouldn’t the line out of the speaker peak the audio and have a distorted recording? How do you get around this?
Is the back of the speaker a mono output? If you have something like rca to quarter inch would you get audio from one side and then convert to both speakers in post? Or would you try record a stereo track? Also does xlr cable support stereo signal only being the one cable. The confusing part for me is working out when to use stereo cables and when I’ll receive a stereo feed in mono etc. any help would be appreciated.
Never plug into the back of the speaker. When you unplug it makes a large popping noise and can damage the speaker. This guy doesn’t know anything about audio but is recommending things to people. which is ridiculous.
From the receiver I’m pretty sure I’m on Mic.....but now I’m super second guessing myself as I’m out of town and away from my gear haha. It’s been a long day 😅
Line. I use this exact setup. If you can, pull an XLR from the back of the speaker. Never fails for me. The DR40 has that backup lower DB track which is nice too.
@@WeddingFilmSchool The soundboard. I am getting a lot of noise from the soundboard output. Is there a way to turn up the output volume on the board without also turning up the speakers?
@@WeddingFilmSchool i was hoping to get music and mic audio. But i will try to connect to the mic receiver next time. Ehat about a church ceremony. What am o looking for if i want to get audio at a church
Pretty sure that is covered in here. You can also watch our video called like "the only 3 audio cables you need" OR any of our BTS videos. We are typically showing the different places we plug in but it's gonna be xlr, quarter inch, or rca. Mixer might not be the best option always though
Hi, im confused. ive been told that you cant use these recorders to attach to the back of the speaker as it is speaker level no longer line level, which means you may blow your tascam. is this not true?
Are you talking about the dr10x? It technically doesn't have line level but it has a setting called EXT and that seems to take line levels decently. Sometimes they are a bit hot but I have certainly had usable audio from them - Bobby
@@WeddingFilmSchool actually the dr40x. the output from speaker is much higher voltage than a signal from the soundboard which is line level. am i wrong? 0.O
All cables are in our gear link at the top of every video and also linked in my “audio cables” video. 1/4 inch won’t work with a dr10x though....that’s xlr only
Should you use auto gain or back up rec that records at a lower gain or smth? Cuz often times the levels change and cant monitor them all the time, if you taking video somewhere for instance.
Definitely up to you and the decision should be based on how much confidence you have in the feed source, DJ, & speakers. I always tell people that if you have the money, get a Zoom H6, as it records 32bit float and you don't have to touch the gain. Quality is impeccable just about no matter what - refer to Curtis Judd or Gerald Undone for info here on yt.
So I don't like auto gain, Actually I don't even know if the dr40 has it. I like to use the dual record option on all recorders though. Set the level to be peaking just where you want it and then kinda just be always thinking about each person speaking if there are major changes in volume. Then maybe adjust quick but know that one of the tracks should be usable. Also if you are using a recorder with 32 bit float (not the dr40) then you have way more leeway in post!
This is soooooo frustrating! Nobody ever explains what im looking for. Not sure why ppl totally ingrone how to capture ALL audio coming from the sound board (DJ music & microphone)......i feel like that should be entiree level advice you ppl that understand this stuff would teach us.....
@@WeddingFilmSchool I have a open mic event. Which includes a DJ (playing music) and Vocalist (on the Mic) ....how do I capture clean audio from DJ/Vocalist on 1 track?
Easy, take any main out from the DJ sound board or take the out from a speaker. For weddings, a lot of times I prefer to just get the mic in case the DJ plays music low under it as I then can't use it in their film which is why we show it that way.
Does the DJ go over and start fiddling with your equipment? Then why are you recommending people go over and do that to his? Don’t touch the DJs equipment. Have them do it for you it’s theirs. And you’re either plugging in my sound board or your plugging in nowhere.
Always talk to them… But also. Plenty of DJs don’t know what we need as filmmakers, and that’s not their job either. The last thing I would do is trust another person with the job I was supposed to be doing. Additionally, as someone who has worked in professional sound as well as audio recording there’s literally nothing someone could do to break a DJ equipment by plugging into a line out. A good DJ knows this. - Jay
@@WeddingFilmSchool Nice subtle shot there. Any good DJ does know that… and would also not let you touch their equipment. If anything needs to be plugged in or unplugged that’s my job. All of the audio is my job. If you ask you can plug-in. But that’s the extent of it. I set the levels. I handle everything. You handle your recorder. It’s pretty simple.
Weddings are a team game. Sure we all have our responsibilities but if you're not a team player you're not going to make many friends in the industry. Sound board is by far my least favorite place to plug in and in 15 years I have had 1 or 2 DJ's who didn't let me plug in to a better solution. I don't want you to have control of my audio and you don't know how to do my job (just like I don't know how to do yours) so why not work together to make it the best for everyone. If you want to plug my stuff in sure I don't care who plugs it in. 99% of Dj's do not care if I plug it in myself, I'm not going to break it. But you also need to hear me out on why I don't want to plug directly into your board ya know - Bobby
As a DJ I like having video guys plug in my soundboard, this way they can control their volumes independently from me.
Good man
thank u sir for your ‘input’ . haha excuse the pun
Also so that I don't have to worry about someone else fumbling around with my equipment. I'll pull your recorder or tell you it's ok to pull it. I don't want anyone fiddling around behind my speakers

@@WeddingFilmSchool Nice subtle shot there. Any good DJ does know that… and would also not let you touch their equipment. If anything needs to be plugged in or unplugged that’s my job. All of the audio is my job. If you ask you can plug-in. But that’s the extent of it. I set the levels. I handle everything. You handle your recorder. It’s pretty simple.
Weddings are a team game. Sure we all have our responsibilities but if you're not a team player you're not going to make many friends in the industry. Sound board is by far my least favorite place to plug in and in 15 years I have had 1 or 2 DJ's who didn't let me plug in to a better solution. I don't want you to have control of my audio and you don't know how to do my job (just like I don't know how to do yours) so why not work together to make it the best for everyone. If you want to plug my stuff in sure I don't care who plugs it in. 99% of Dj's do not care if I plug it in myself, I'm not going to break it. But you also need to hear me out on why I don't want to plug directly into your board ya know - Bobby
if I take two lines ( black & red ) from Tascam to DJ mixer. the Tascam will internal or external. I’m confused with my ( Tascam DR-40 )
Thank you
