[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome glad it helped!

Being a musician I'm blown away that I haven't thought about to implement my mixing skills into my YT vids. Thanks again for these tips!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

It’ll make a big difference! Thanks for watching!

[@JohnDennery]

Amazing, so much info packed into this one! It's definitely worth taking the time to get those presets really dialed in for each of our locations and microphone setups. Thank you so much

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks for watching John!

[@user-th6jg7kg6t]

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome I’m glad that this was able to help!

[@JohnDennery]

Finally came back and used this to create my own preset - it sounds 100x better! This information is so much more valuable than going out and buying "better" gear. Thanks again!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome John glad it helped!

[@dustyodyssey]

I used your method on a really rough voice sample that I had, and admittedly it still doesn't sound great, but the speech is sooo much more intelligible, it's incredible how well this method worked! Great tutorial!!

Wow, awesome tutorial, awesome filming and love your studio/lighting setup, so clean and crisp.
Thanks so much for making this video.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@OfficialNerdSingh]

I sent you a message on Instagram asking some more in depth questions hope to hear from you soon!

[@OfficialNerdSingh]

So i'm filming multicam video podcast with the Sm7b and the zoom f8...
1. Is there an effect on FCP X for setting the output gain to the level that the podcasting distributors prefer to like radio standards, LUFS or something? Is this needed or is it just okay to set it to -3dB like you did in your video?
2. Is exporting as a WAV on fcp sufficient for the podcast platfroms as an audio file compared to for example editing it in adobe audition and exporting like that - only issue being it won't have the cuts/edits in it
3. For a 2 mic podcast, so 2 zoom files synced, how would you edit them in a multicam? One person is speaking way more than the other...just wondering if you'd keep them both on with both all the effects from your video or bring them together into one track?

[@markyourpages]

As always man, thank you. I just switched from Premiere to FCPX - this was super helpful!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome! a FCPX will take a little learning curve but once you get it, it is SO awesome!

[@ArhamSheikh]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks mate!

Awesome glad you found it!

Ben, this is a fantastic video. I was amazed at how your suggestions had immediate and positive results on my own audio. I was wondering if you'd consider doing a similar video that shows how to remove/reduce wind noise from a clip?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks Colin glad it helped and sure I can try to cover that in the near future

[@user-yg3vk8cm5s]

That would be awesome! I like these tips but am finding it hard to reduce wind noise and other background noise from some audio clips (like when I'm at a noisy cafe or walking outside with cars driving by).
