    Really nice demo - thanks Alex!

    In my experience The Mice/Phone placement makes a huge difference. If you can manage to engage the proximity effect of the phones mic without clipping it sounds much closer to a "professional" mic. This will also reduce reverb and noise as the signal to noise ratio is higher.

      Mic placement is probably the #1 most important part of recording anything!

    Thanks for this. That de-reverb was especially impressive :)

    Solid demo, just 48 hours late for my last project! Guy "phoned" in a VO for an industrial with HVAC blasting in the background and reverb like it was recorded in a small steamroom, lol. Got it worked out, but not as easily as this demo.

      Oh no, that sounds rough! Hopefully next time you’ll receive better source material, haha

    This is really helpful for times we do video of the kids without phone or fix up audio from our old camcorder recordings from the 90’s. Or the old wedding video which sounds and looks terrible, but would be great if we remastered it.

    Oh gosh, this is superb. Thank you SO much, Alex. I'll be recording backup audio on the iPhone, and it is such a relief to know how to improve the quality.

    Love videos like this 👍🏼 I am definitely going to try with RX 8 Advanced and Fabfilter since I already have those tools - I think you should point out these tools can be purchased a lot cheaper during their sale events or through their upgrade offers - Great Job as Always ! 👍🏼

    So, getting a good mic is cheaper than trying to fix a bad one. Got it.

    Thank you for the video, although everyone has a different taste for the EQ, but you brought the Idea of it closer to the audiences, Thank you Alex!

    • @axk
      @axk  3 года назад

      Absolutely! Audio is VERY subjective in what sounds good vs bad, but if you know the tools and have an idea of what you want things to sound like, it’s you can be way more creative!

  • @marka657

    So to fix it, all you need is a $1,200 module. Thanks. That's helpful. This video seems more about selling various modules and such than anything else.

    • @axk
      @axk  2 года назад +1

      The underlying message here is that it’s very costly and challenging to fix if you don’t have proper recording gear, and it’s better to invest a smaller amount to get it right at the recording stage than have to spend a lot more to try and fix it later.

  • @eraklisd8711
    @eraklisd8711 3 года назад

    ofc not everyone has expensive software like rx and fabfilter but these are great simple edits that can be used in many other softwares and great to know. Now we can make podcasts with our phones xD

      It’s not about the tools, it’s about the techniques and the knowledge!

    Great tips Alex! I have RX elements and Voice denoise works very well. The Advanced is too expensive at the moment, is there any alternative about dereverb?
    Thanks

    • @axk
      @axk  3 года назад +1

      Maybe check out Zynaptiq Unveil. Most of these are kind of “pro level” tools...with the price to match 😕

    • @GiancarloBiondi
      @GiancarloBiondi 3 года назад

      @@axk thanks Alex. In the meanwhile I switched to the Izotope standard version because some tools were useful and sometimes you can take advantage of the loyalty offers. there is a dereverb even if the Dialogue dereverb function is present only on the Advanced. now i'm studying the software well but I will also look at what you suggested. thanks again

    Great as always! It looks like the only part of this workflow that wasn't on the phone was the EQ? Do you have any suggestions for an EQ phone app as to keep the whole workflow on the phone?

    RX 8’s Spectral Restoration is also a magical plugin that comes in handy for potato quality audio.

    I've had to do audio editing from phone audio before. It works in a pinch
    But, as my old college audio instructor would say "Garbage in = garbage out"

  • @shingAMarie

    as recording technique, gainstaging etc, would there be a difference in sound quality, for recording just voices in the context of voiceover, narrations, and room dialogue using the sound devices mixpre-3 II VS Prism Sound Lyra-1 2x2, using a great mic like the sennheiser mkh 416
