Yes. It’s been a challenge recording realistic audio on a walk. I've put months of time and thousands of dollars into audio research and equipment over the past decade. Will try to explain. :) First, my goal is to have as much dynamic range in audio as possible. I want to capture the sounds as they actually were. If the scene is silent I want silence. If it’s extremely loud I want loud. I want the quiet and the loud all in one continuous video without compression and with as little use of limiters as possible. In summary I'm after realism. This means that with silent but highly variable places like this, you will hear silence, but when a jet flies over, you will hear how loud it is. You will in fact hear it like I heard it when I was there if you get the volume set correct. Quiet places are also extremely difficult to record to be honest because I use highly sensitive condenser microphones that pick-up every sound, including my breathing, even when I’m being like a monk in meditation while walking miles up and down hills. It will pick up conversions 200 ft away. Same goes for wind, it’s just very difficult. I’ve bought better recorders and audio software since recording this and I've been trying to get the gain set as high I as possible while retaining the range of the audio so that it sounds realistic while at the same time getting the levels right. This does mean that in extremely quiet places it may result in having to crank up the audio a bit to find the spot where it sounds natural / the level you would hear in real life. Unfortunately it also means the recording may become extremely loud because the sound levels within the recording are highly varied. In my later videos I have started using limiters some to keep the starting volume at a natural level, somewhere around -12 dB while dampening the louder sounds without clipping. It's not worth sacrificing the levels of 99% of the video for that 1% when the military helicopter flies over. So you are right in your assessment of the audio. It's definitely a work in progress. Recording a walk realistically is not as easy as one might think! I appreciate your visit to my channel and your valuable feedback. I hope that you find the audio in my newer videos a bit better, if you watch them.
@@RelaxingWalks Thank you very much for replying to my personal opinion very politely. I'm very happy. I don't know the compatibility or setting of the device, but I'm very concerned about the sound quality. The image you took is very beautiful. I thought it would be better if the sound was a little louder, so I commented. You can see that increasing the volume level increases the noise. However, the volume level on RUclips is limited. The user can adjust it even if it is enlarged to some extent. Please try various things. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for your comment. I also subscribed your channel.
I'm glad I met this video
May I know the meaning of sal
I honestly don't know, but it's a good history question. I may Google this later and see what I can find.
The sound is small, so I want you to raise the volume level a little more.
