Thanks Dan :) Hope you enjoy the mic :) Make sure you check out this related vid on using the mics safety track: ruclips.net/video/W9oRnkLGJcc/видео.html
@@JasonRobertsVideo absolutely will! My mic will be here tomorrow. I'm a controlled studio setting, and advice on the settings?
I would say first try and make the studio less reflective/echo-y - if you clap you hands you shouldn't be able to hear much of and echo/"flutter". Then just experiment with the different settings, the setting I show in the video should work fine but it might depend on how far away you are from the mic :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo it has been fanstic! Truly taken my audio and channel to the next level
That's so great to hear!! :) Good luck with your channel :)
thank you, great tutorial! P.S. Your hair is lovely btw.
Thank you! :)
id hit 4 times tumbs up if i could. 1. for caressing the dead cat 2. for the superb info 3. for the very good reading 4. for the fun while watching the video.
Thank you so much!!! :)
Thank you for the video. How about focusing noise ?
Not much the mic can do about it, sometime I hear a bit with my Canon USM lens when autofocus is on. There's always manual focus I guess if your standing still. You might be able to reduce the noise a bit in post, perhaps with notch EQ for the specific focus motor requences.
Hi Jason, this was a really helpful video....Can you tell me how far from the camera you were standing
Hi Maria, glad you found the vid helpful :) I think I was about 1.5 meters away, maybe a bit less - hope that helps :)
@@IfIcanYoucan 1.5m is about 5 feet
Thank you for your video sir. I don't understand why anyone would use the -10 and 0db? I'm new to mics and the lingo, but is there a reason someone would use those settings? Seems like for recording anything almost you'd need to be at +20db?
Hi Jorge, it's about setting the right level for the loudness of the sound you are recording, if you were speaking loud/close to the mic you might end up overloading and "clipping" the audio which sounds really bad. I did another vid on the safety track feature that shows what clipping is as well: ruclips.net/video/W9oRnkLGJcc/видео.html
Hope that helps :)
Jason
Hey Jason,
Great video, definitely the best comparison ive seen for this mic. Idk if you ran into this issue with the mic but I get a lot of like buzzing or white noise underlying the audio. I am using a canon rebel SL2 or I believe 200D is the same one. Did you run into that at all? Any idea how to fix that? I'm doing a self set up on a tripod about 5 ft from the camera. I followed everything you did with the manual audio settings and I still get that constant humm/fuzz background noise.
Hi, thanks! - I've never had any buzzing or white noise. Make sure the cable is pushed in properly on both at the camera and on the mic. For example on the mic when you push the plug in properly there will be 2 little clicks before it is fully in. Hope that helps :)
Jason Roberts thanks for the reply. I was so frustrated trying to fix it, I’m going to step away for a bit and try again tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes! Thanks again
Thanks it was helpful but would have been even more useful if the test was done outdoor. Because the biggest challenge with this microphone is with noices from traffic you record someone talking. Will this mic be enough in those circumstances?
Thanks Ananda, even though these kind of mics are shotgun mics (pick sound up mostly from the front) you will get some sounds not directly in front. It also depends how close (and loud) the person is talking to the mic and how far away/noisy the traffic is in comparison. Other options are to try the mic on a boom pole to get it closer to the subject or instead try a Lapel/Lavalier mic. Hope that helps :)
Hey Jason .. i have a m50 .. i Set my rode videomic pro plus on plus 20db .. In cam all the way to the left then only 1 to the right .. it still clips if i talk slitley to loud .. any Suggestions ? Thank you :)
Hi - try turning off the +20db function on the mic and try again. If that's still too loud try setting the -10db option on. :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo will try .. thx ;)
No problem :)
The Rode manual says the Auto Power feature will ONLY work if the camera supplies plug-in power. I tried connecting a mic to a Canon XA20 camcorder and a Canon Vixia HF R72 and the auto power feature did not work. Do Canon camcorders generally not provide plug-in power? Just some DSLR cameras? Who can provide information on this?
Not sure about the Canon camcorders, you'd have to check the specs for each camera you'd want to use with the mic, e.g. www.canon-europe.com/for_home/product_finder/camcorders/professional/xa20/specification.html
I guess depending on what room you shoot in, +20dB with no high pass sounds far the best. The other settings could take too much editing to proceed when recording vlogs
Yeah, you could also create some audio presets in your NLE if you're recording in the same space (studio, office, etc) where the environment is the same just to speed up editing
Hey! I purchased the VMP+ a while ago and use it for my videos. I still have some issues with my audio. Even after I edited the audio in Adobe Premiere Pro (noise cancelling, multiband compressor etc.) I still don’t like how it sounds. I think that yours sounds way cleaner than mine.. What do you think could be the reason? My camera? The room? I‘m using the Canon EOS 200D & changing the audio settings (what you did in your video) isn’t available.. Could my camera be the reason? I‘d really appreciate it if you could watch my latest video and maybe tell me the reason for why my audio sounds so crappy 🙏🏽 Thanks already
Or is it because I‘m talking too loud?
You could try using the audio safety track like I explain in this video ( ruclips.net/video/W9oRnkLGJcc/видео.html ) - this might help if the poor quality is your audio clipping (too loud and overloading)
Bro, But you have not shown the recorded voice edit or post processing tecnique. Please make a video about this subject.
It's still on my list of videos to make and I haven't forgotten about it :)
I've been struggling to get my mic to work properly on 6d mkii
I've followed so many tutorials including this one and no matter what I do, I still can't get rid of the white noise and the audio is super low even at the highest volume. I have changed all the settings and tried to match everything you have here, still it does not work.
Have you tried a different audio cable?
@@JasonRobertsVideo I have not yet. I have run thru every variable possible with settings so I am down to testing the equipment. Although this cord came in the sealed RODE mic box, Ill try a new cord, thanks!
Hope that fixes it for you - also make sure the of the cable is pushed in correctly into the microphone.
@@JasonRobertsVideo I have now tried multiple cords. Other TRS and TRRS cables. Still no answers and same issues. I have contacted rode
@@JasonRobertsVideothe mic also does not turn on and off automatically with my camera any longer, it did the first time I used it.

Pro rycote vs just rycote?
This is the standard microphone setup
How far you from camera during this shoot? And what lens you use ?
This was shot on either a Canon 17-40 or the 16-35 - can't remember which one I used for this vid. I was about 1 to 1.5 meters away if I remember correctly :)
Jason Roberts Thank you! I just order on amazone, and I don’t try yet, I wondering how far this microphone can record outdoor for example! 🙏
Cool - I think you will like it. I have used it close up holding my camera while vlogging and also from 2-3 meters away. If you are farther away you might need to adjust the gain in camera. I have another video coming out soon that also shows how to use the safety track on the mic that lets you record a quieter signal on one channel so if you clip/overload the audio you can still try and fix it in editing :)
Jason Roberts merci!! Thank you Jason! 🙏
No problem :) Let me know how you get on with the microphone :)
Have you considered having your wife brush your hair before these episodes.
Haha :)
