Everything sounds great but Quick question, what is the computer needed for?
@@mrs.torres7035 The only reason for the computer is to provide bus-power of the mic. In theory if you've got a powered USB hub you could use that instead of a computer
@@CourseBuildersAcademy oh ok! I see, I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for replying! 🙏
EXTREMELY helpful video that could eliminate an enormous amount of unnecessary time and expense (buying software etc.) syncing sound and images. The explanations were crystal clear, thorough, and devoid of any extraneous B.S. Excellent presentation!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I've been trying to figure this out for a month, and somehow ran across your video and it's been the ONLY one to explain this in an understanding way.
Now I can get back to my youtube videos!
Thanks for that!
Thanks for explaining why we turn the camera down, it all makes sense to me now. I was wondering why I was getting audio with HEAPS of background "air" noise. Obviously its the camera preamp! Thanks again.
Thanks, Pre amps in the lower priced cameras are not the best, you're up into the 3k range before they are getting clean.

I've been looking for exactly this video!! Thanks so much for creating this. It makes my setup make so much more sense. Waiting on a jac double-ender arriving tomorrow. Really hoping this works for my camcorder. Wish me luck!
Thanks Will and good luck! The Yeti is a great mic. Shame to buy another mic if you've already got a USB mic sat around, I'm glad it helped you. I've a really good video coming in the next day or so on setting up a camera to record
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Exactly! Brilliant, looking forward to seeing it 👍🏻✨
What do u recommend if I have to use the headphone jack to monitor my audio ? Can you use a usb c to headphone jack cord?
I have a different situation wanting to plug a USB-C mic into a camera but cant use headphone socket as that will be in use.
Do you think a USB-C to jack adapter would work?

@@user-kg7id8hj9w Well maybe one day! I just enjoy making these videos and interacting with people on a subject that I enjoy talking about.
I had to come back to this because I am so bad at technology, like literally yesterday I was on a channel called TechBoomers as a 36 year-old, and I used this guide to set up Elgato Wave as my camera mic. I figured it out within 10 minutes from memory from watching this video a few weeks ago.
You are the fucking man.
Thank you for the comment
Wonderful! Thank you for this video. This is the perfect solution to my problem. Brilliant in its simplicity. 👍
Glad it helped!
My Blue Snowball doesn't have a 3.5mm audio output jack. Just a USB jack. 😞
Wow its working. I as looking for this last 3 months. Great job Andrew
Thank you for this video. It helped a lot.
You're welcome!
Hi, how can I monitor my sound on headphones in addition to this? Great video!
You would buy a little splitter cable
Thanks for your help! It’s useful!!
Thank you so much. I used to film with my phone and I had my blue yeti plugged into my phone but ever since I got a good camera I have no idea how to hook the blue yeti up to the camera so I have just been using the mic that came with the Canon
Glad it helped you. It’s better to use a dedicated mic that is designed to work with a camera like the Rode VideoMic Pro, but this will at least get you started. You may want to take a look the guilds I just published to help you create pro video bit.ly/3DGNOLw it’s full of useful information
That’s very helpful!
Greta video. About to start my channel and I needed this. Question: Why do you plug the external mic into the computer? why not plug the external mic into an outlet?
The USB mic requires Bus Power and a normal outlet may not provide enough power. You can however plug it into a USB powered USB hub ( the hub doesn't need to be connected to a computer ) and that will power the mic.
I know that prolly was a stupid question but thanks for your “kind” response. 😆
@@WorkItJ216 No it's a valid question and in fact in the video that I'll be posting in the next hour or so I actually address it. I love questions like this, they let me know what I need to make videos on, so thank you for taking the time to ask.

Glad you like them!
Really helpful Andrew, thank you. I have a Panasonic SD800 camcorder which doesn’t have headphone socket. How can I connect a microphone? I want to use in zoom meeting. Many thanks 🙏🏽
I don't think you can, at least not using the method I've highlighted - sorry!
Thank you Andrew. Much appreciated. Bal
Can you connect two mics with a splitter cable directly going into the DSLR?
Thank you so much 🙏
I will try it now
Thanks for the video. TECH QUESTION: I bought a Sony ZV-1 last year and have been recording videos using the Rode Wireless Go without issue. I wanted to do more podcast-style videos so I bought the SHURE MV7 (using a 3.5mm jack) but it won't record quality audio without a loud buzzing sound (machine gun-like) (same with Blue Raspberry). Shure support says I need to turn off "Bias Voltage" of the jack on the Sony ZV-1 for the microphone to work properly ("turn off the supply voltage on the microphone input of 3.6V"). Just got off with Sony support and they say you can't do that on their camera.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1) Any workaround for my issue that you're aware of?
2) Do you know if I will have the same issue with the Canon M50?
I really want to keep my Shure MV7.
Thanks :)
If you have an audio interface you could try plugging the mic into your computer then running an audio output into the camera to bypass the noise
Question for you Andrew. I'm trying to do a live call via Zoom but I'm having a nightmare as the image and the sound are out of sync. It's driving me crazy. I've watched a few of your videos and I still can't work it out. I have a Canon M50 plugged into my PC via a USB cable and a Yeti mic also plugged into my PC. If I connect my Yeti to My Canon using an audio cable, will Zoom automatically pick up the yeti microphone as an option? I've tried plugging a Rhode mic into my CANON and it didn't appear as an option in the microphone list on zoom 😖. I would be most grateful for any tip
Watch this video and towards the end I cover a application called Ecamm and show how to add a audio delay: How To Fix Mic Delay (Audio Sync) In Zoom Quickly.

@@CourseBuildersAcademy i watched it. Isn’t that app just for MAC?
@@rankingacademy it is just Mac only, you may be able to do something similar with OBS if you’re on a PC, but I’m not sure if you can then feed that into Zoom, I’ve not used a pc for almost 30 years, but you could check that option out
Can you explain *why* a USB mic needs to be plugged into a computer for power rather than an outlet? What does a computer provide that plain old power doesn't? Also, could I use my Android phone as a computer or do I need to bring my laptop when I record on the go?
I didn't realize the mic needed a computer and as a result have zero audio from two of my group's concerts! I'm subbing for our sound guy and thought I'd level up from the built-in camera mic I used before, but if I'd left well enough alone at least I'd have *some* audio. Luckily we're doing all the songs again for future concerts, but there was one that was unique to that performance and we can't record again and I'm sad that I messed that up unknowingly. I didn't find your video until after I was able to check my files. I had the mic plugged into my computer when I first tested it, but that's only because it was the closest USB port. I wish I'd tested it in the wall or a battery pack too, because I would have caught that it was missing audio!
I have never done cideo, but i start a little self recording. I have been looking for just this vudeo😊
I was looking to buy a Yotto condenser USB Mike. Now am seeing Yeti. I am completely clueless.
a) any experience with Yotto? Any comparison?
b) woll it work just the same?

Nice vid! Very helpful! But when you plug in a mic, besides turn down the db for internal mic, do you need to make any additional adjustments?
Thank you.
What about mic without audio wire ..only have usb wire like fifine k669b
Same bro😢
Thank you 🙏🏼
My pleasure
Suggestion. Adjust the gain level on the mic and then adjust the headphone output. Even better first use the Blue Voice software to adjust the gain, and the sound quality settings such as de-essing, plosives, noise reduction, and frequency levels, and finally adjust the headphone output level. What do you think?
Good point! I was planning a follow up to this video with a few more tips, I’ll make sure to include that.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thanks for the reply. I'll look forward to seeing my idea in your update.

Such a great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Well thank you Allan. Is there any other topics you'd like to see covered?
Well explained, thanks Andrew!
My pleasure!
Great video, I set up my Sony alpha 7ii with the sennheiser Profil just the way you discribed, I can control the audio via the mic but I get a pretty loud hissing sound , do you have any ideas way? Thanks for the help
I don't, but here's what I would do to try and isolate the source of the hiss. Try a different USB cable, Try running your camera from a battery if you're currently using mains power, turn the audio levels down in the camera, make sure you've not got automatic volume control activated on the camera. I've seen this before on Sony cameras as per this thread: www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4491104 which I find odd because it's not a cheap camera.
Where do you plug the normal cord that comes with the blue yeti?
If you mean the USB cable, you plug that into your computer - it needs power to work and it gets it from your computer.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy ok thanks for the info, I will be sure to ask more questions if I have them
@@prischellia_yt Please do, I could talk about audio, video and course creation all day long
Thanks for the video. It helped
Is there anyway I can hear myself while I film? Could I plug headphones in the computer to hear?
You can buy a splitter cable and the plug your headphones in
it works!!! Thank you so much!!
Great!
Hi Andrew, how would you connect two microphones to the camera?
You would likely have to use a mixer or audio interface and use XLR mics, or use a program like Ecamm if you're on a Mac
Thank you Sir
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it, hope it helped
Thank you for this. I followed your instructions but I had a background hum or distortion come through. Any suggestions on how to eliminate this ?
I would try first adjusting the gain on the mic and the headphone audio level, it could be you have the Gail on the mic too high, or the gain on the camera to high. Alternatively it could be an electrical hum, if that’s the case make sure your mic cable is not near electricity cables, try running the camera on battery, if it’s an electrical hum it’s normally a grounding issue, you would need to disconnect electrical items until the hum goes away. Hope this helps.
Did you end up fixing this? I seem to have the same problem.
Hi Andrew - thank you for this video about How To Connect A USB Mic Directly To A Camera. Am I right in assuming that the only mic's this will work with are ones with a headphone out jack as some budget mics only have a USB output. Or would a simple USB -> 3.5mm adapter work? Looking forward to more content and have sub'ed a dinged to😃o.
Hi Paul, The mic has to be plugged into the computer via USB, so a USB to 3.5mm adaptor won't work. You may (and I've never tried this) be able to plug a 3.5mm cable into your computer and then plug that into the camera. On Macs there is an app called Loop Back that may help, like I say I've never tried this, I've only plugged the 3.5mm into the output on the mic itself.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll have to save up my pennies for a Blue Yeti to ensure I get the mic to work with my Canon M50.
@@PaulRansonArt If you're always sat at your desk the Yeti is a great mic for the money. If you also want the flexibility to move about the Rode Wireless Go is a great option.
thank you so much, appreciate it
You're welcome!
Amazing sound quality on this video Andrew. In the description you say this is all through the Blue Yeti, when i use a USB mic in a room/studio i get a lot of echo sounds and not as professional sounding as yourself. Do you have special studio set-up to sound so clear?
if you are getting a lot of echo it's likely down to the room you are in. Hard flat surfaces don't make for good recording, a room with lots of object, soft objects like sofas, curtains etc will sound better. You can also buy sound blankets from a company called Producers Choice that really do help and drape them over things or hang them up, I personally have acoustic panels that I made and there are lots of videos on RUclips that show you how, you can also buy them ready made. Also, a mic like the Shure MV7 will sound better in a room with echo because it's got a much shorter pick up pattern - hope this helps
@@CourseBuildersAcademy thank you Andrew and really appreciate you taking the time to give a detailed reply.
What if my usb mic doesn’t have an audio jack? It’s just a single USBC port and is using a usbc to usb cable? Can I use an adapter to go usbc straight into my cameras audio jack?
This is the best and helpful.
Hello Miaca, thank you for your comments, would love to hear what you intend on creating - I enjoy hearing what people are using my content to help them with?
I have a SAMSON Q9U and a Sony E10 camera. I record Instagram reels and RUclips videos about changes in laws. Just talking, no music involved. My followers complain about the sound not being clear. If I reduce the camera sound recording level, the Samson Q9U does not have a volume increase option like the Shure MV7. Do I have to buy Focusrite to solve the problem? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
To use the Focusrite you would have to use the XLR option, if you want to boost the mic and keep the noise down use a Fethead that plugs into the mic, I use one all the time
Very helpful!. I'm hoping you can help me out. I bought a Sony ZV-1 last year and have been recording videos using the Rode Wireless Go without issue.

Thanks :)
Chris, before we go down this rabbit hole, tell me are you doing recording or going live, are you on PC or Mac. There may be a better way to do this. Also, the MV7 did you get the USB or the XLR and USB model? The MV7 is a really nice mic for the money, it sounds almost identical to the more expensive SM7B
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thanks for the response. I'm recording for my new YT channel (ruclips.net/user/FriesenPerformancewithDrChrisFriesen). I record on my Sony ZV-1 camera. I have both PC and Mac but do all my video editing on my mac (was using iMovie but recently switched to Final Cut Pro). With the MV7 it has both USB and XLR options. And yeah, I really like the mic and want to find a way to make it work.
@Chris Friesen - sorry for the long-winded reply here, but I thought it better to go into detail...
I think given the limitations of the ZV1 being able to isolate supply voltage I wouldn't try to go that route, there's a better way and one that will give you a much more flexible workflow - it's what I and a lot of others use. Rather than record to an SD card in the camera, you record directly to your Mac with both your camera and mic. Here's an high-level overview of how it works:
1. You need either ECamm which is a paid app ( but cheap ), it's easy to use, but works only on Mac, or you use OBS which is free, works on both PC and Mac - but takes a little longer to familiarise yourself with, but it's still pretty easy.
2. You connect the Camera via HDMI to your computer and you plug your mic into your computer via USB.
3. You record directly to your hard drive. I actually record to a little Solid State USB drive because it's really fast and I record in 4k and down-sample when I'm editing.
This setup works great because I'm not messing about with SD cards and I can control the recording functions directly from my computer while recording.
The slight issue with this setup is the audio and video are going to be slightly out of sync by about 5 frames, but in Ecamm and OBS it's easy to fix, you can offset to correct it. The reason for the sync issue is it takes your camera a fraction of a second longer because it has to encode the video in-camera whereas the audio is captured instantly - but offset works. You can actually align the video and audio in Final Cut if you wanted - this is why Clapper Boards are used, they allow the editor to visually align the snapping shut of the clapper board with the sound, but this is just adding to your workflow.
As for the question on the Canon M50 which you asked earlier. I love Canon cameras, they make amazing cameras for photography and I have a few of the C series high-end cinema cameras, but their consumer-level cameras for video are lacking in a few areas, namely the 30-minute recording cutoff, but I think there is an app you can install on your SD card called Sparkocam that gets around that. You could try with your M50 if you have one, but an M50 wouldn't be my personal first choice for this kind of production.
@Chris Friesen, One thing I forgot to mention in the long reply that was in order to connect your camera to your computer via HDMI is you're going to need a converter. I created a guide that covers all the equipment that you may find useful : bit.ly/3DGNOLw
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thanks again. That is very helpful. But today I think I fixed it! When I plugged the Shure USB into my Macbook Pro (as opposed to my PC which is plugged into the wall) it worked. So the issue seems to be related to my desktop computer. It works fine when it's plugged into my Macbook. Not sure if the issue will return if I plug my Macbook in but I won't need to given the good batter life.
Thank goodness!
Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much this really helps. Could you recommend budget camera that I could use? I do ASMR and I need a better camera to go with my pretty good Mike so what is a good budget camera that you would recommend truly appreciated
Best bang for your buck at the moment is the Sony ZV E10, don't be put off by it's small size this camera has the same sensor as the more expensive A6400 and is more than able to compete with cameras costing over 2 grand, in fact I started using one about 3 months ago and I haven't used by 15 grand C300 camera since for my videos. In fact and this should really help you, I've created a guide that goes into detail with everything you need to know about shooting pro video on a budget - it's free, it's very detailed and you can download it here: bit.ly/3DGNOLw
Good stuff man
Well thank you sire!
Hi Andrew, My Blue Yeti has different controls knobs one for gain, headphone volume ( plain without lights ) and the pattern ( cardioid etc. ) My question is where do I set the gain control? BTW my set up using the Blue Yeti with a Canon M50 produced a background buzzing called Ground Loop Interferance. I used a Ground Loop Isolator which gives me lovely interference-free audio. Thanks for your great videos.
Hello Paul, You want to find the dial that adjusts the headphone output. It should be on the front just below the "Blue" logo. The dial on the back is for controlling the audio into your computer, the dial on the front of the type of Yeti you have should be on the front below the mute button. I've used a Ground Loop Isolator before and like you say they really do work and they are cheap too.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thank you Andrew. Doh I've been adjusting the Gain to try and increase the volume out not th👍inking about the headphone volume at all. I'll have a play with the settings tomorrow. I hope you pick up some more subs soon. Your videos are spot on.

@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thankyou so much for your response! Please help me out. I have a Sony a5000 it’s a vlogging camera, it has a “hdmi out” can I connect a mic to this ? Please help!
@@tiaanevada The problem with the A5000 is it doesn't have a mic input jack so you're limited with the mics you can use on that camera. If you're going to be Vlogging my advice would be to buy something like the Sony ZV E10 which is cheap for such an outstanding camera, you can also attach pretty much any mic you like.
I have a DSC-HX350 camera has no external mic connection.

Thx a lot and have a good day. I like your videos
hey Andrew, thanks for this video. My question is, am i not going to need any application on my pc since the mic is connected to it?
The only reason to connect it to your PC is to provide Bus Power. There is a way you can actually do this without even using a computer and I may cover this in another video. So, in answer to your question you don't need any applications on your PC to use this method. - Thanks for the question and don't forget to subscribe to hear more from me.
Great video, thanks so much! I currently adust all my audio settings on my recording software prior to recording a video...do I have to set all my audio settings on the camera now or can this be done on the software?
You want to make sure you have the mic doing the bulk of the amplification and not the camera as detailed in the video. I would get the mic and camera set up so it’s about -12db and then just boost it a little with your software. It’s always better to be a little on the low side coming out of the camera, if the audio signal is clean and free from hiss you can always increase it in the software. If the audio is too loud out of the camera you risk the audio peaking and then there is nothing you can do to fix that
@@CourseBuildersAcademy I'll try this. Thank you so much!
Andrew: I have a Shure MV7, which has separate levels for both headphone and mic. Should both of these be adjusted to the same level? I’m not clear which each is doing, as your demo used a Yeti, which has both headphones/mic combined.
The MV7 is a great mic and if you want it to sound even better, if you want it to sound like the more expensive SM7B watch this: Shure MV7 vs Yeti USB Mic - The Yeti is Doomed!
ruclips.net/video/QVJrBzrYdBg/видео.html now to answer your question. The level of the mic is adjusting the audio going in, the level of the headphones is going out. So set the mic level as normal and then adjust the headphones level. I normall set the mic about 50 to 70 percent and then use the headphones volume to get it to the right level in the camera. You want the camera to be doing as little of the work as possible. It just a case of testing and adjusting to fine tune it.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thanks so much! This seems like a good “quick start” for better mic sound; I can wade into the rabbit hole of mixers later.
Will this help get rod of the hiss? Even when I play back the video I hear the hisss. It's driving me crazy. Don't want to spend money on a new camera or anything else without knowing the problem..
This hiss is likely the built-in amp in the camera, by turning that down and having the mic do all the pre amp work you should get rid of some of the hiss - so, yes it should help, maybe even cure it.
How do you power the MIC? If its not plus in by usb
GOOD ONE
Thanks
When out in the field recording, you think I could plug in a power bank to power the usb mic instead of laptop?
Yes you should be able to do that providing your powerbank is providing the correct voltage
You saved lot of money
it is possible to connect this mic to a samsung phone as well, right? I just need a TRS to TRRS cable I suppose?
Hello Markus, yes you can connect it to a phone and you're correct you need use a TRRS ( 3 black sleeves on the pin ) to connect it.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy thank you :)
I have a Behringer c1u USB microphone and it doesn't have a headphone jack like the blue yeti so I was wondering how can I connect it to a camera??
Is headphone output same quality?
Yes it is
Great video, thank you so much. Now then, can you recommend a good camera for me to use for my videos that I post on RUclips. I bought a cheap $150 camera off Amazon. It boasts that it 4k and all that but I'm not happy at all with the quality. I thought it was my laptop so I upgraded to a fairly serous desktop instead. It improved the quality somewhat but I think I need to invest in a more serous camera. Any suggestions?
Without a doubt get a Sony ZVE10 with either a Sigma 16 or 30mm F1.4 lens or the Viltrox 23mm F1.4 and here's why, I'm fortunate to have a couple of Canon C300 cameras and these things are amazing, but a $15k each they should be, I bought a couple of ZVE 10s to fix to my car of a shot, I figured if one falls off it's not a huge deal, fast-forward I no longer can be bothered messing about with the C300 Cine cameras because the quality from little cheap ZVE 10 is just so good and it's easy to work with. In fact the video you've just watched was shot on a $15k C300, take a look at my latest videos these are on the little ZVE10, like this one for example: ruclips.net/video/Z9oxxwHubUk/видео.html .

Hiya. I have a canon 2000d. How do i attach an external mix as all the tutorials on youtube say its not possible
I've never used a 2000d but I have a feeling that it does not have an external mic input. The only way around this is to record audio on a separate device like a Zoom H4 or H6 and then sync the audio and video when editing the video. The cheap way to sync audio is to clap your hands at the start of the recording and then sync the sound of the clap with your hands coming together. If you're using a program like Premiere Pro to edit you can sync the external audio and the video tracks automatically, providing you also have audio from your cameras internal mic on the video track, Premiere syncs the external audio to match the much poorer quality audio on the video track that is from the built in mic in the 2000d. Hope this helps.

So would this work with the Rode? If so, could you please let me know what leads, cables I'd require. Thanks
I cannot get mine to work - I'm using the Mackie Carbon Mic with the canon 5D mark ii camera - I've followed the instructions exactly and am still not succeeding. can anyone help me please?
I think the problem is the 5D, I can recall in my distant past trying to get my 5D set up for video recording and in the end I just gave up. For photos I've always believed that Canon are outstanding, but the DSLR range of canon cameras for video are lagging behind Sony by a mile. The Canon Video range of cameras like the C200 and C300 and the new C70 well they are fantastic, but these are made for video
I have a Samson Q2U USB Microphone and it was terrible. I am not sure why. The sound was tinny when it worked and it kept cutting in and out. Maybe its time to get a Blue Yeti
Hi John, Before you rush out and buy a Yeti, watch the video I released about 3 hours ago, I go through the different mics and give the dos and don’ts and also a comparison between a few different mics.
My biggest problem with this is that I can't use my pc or a laptop as a power source for the microphone because i make ASMR content and the gain on the microphone has to be higher than normal. The microphone is very sensitive therefore it picks up the awful sounds my pc makes. It's loud and it ruins the whole point of making an ASMR video. ( For context i used to plug the blue yeti on my phone with an adaptor and it worked perfectly but then my phone malfunctioned and it won't pick up the sound from the mic when i film using the phone camera ). So now i need a camera and a way to power the mic. I thought maybe there would be a videocamera with a usb mic input but i can't find any at all.
You could try plugging the Yeti into a powered USB, I did a video called how to plug your USB mic to your iPhone or IPad, that shows you how to power the Yeti without a computer
I've been looking at doing this with the cheaper Yeti Nano but it only has a dial for the headphone volume, will it still work and does it matter? Thanks!
Since you are in effect plugging your mic in to the camera via the headphone port on the mic, it's the headphone volume that you are using to control the audio volume to the camera. The trick is to have to mic doing all the amplification and keep the levels in the camera as low as you can.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy Thanks, think i understand it more now. Just ordered a Blue Yeti nano so will do some trial videos and upload them. I have a Conica shotgun style mic right now and tbh its good but i feel the audio could be way way better.
Hey Andrew ,can i use my ipad to repalce the computer.
Will the setup work?
You can, but there are a couple of things you have to know for it to work , in fact I did a video on exactly what you're looking for :

@@CourseBuildersAcademy thank you so much!!
If our mic doesn't have a plug for headphone does that mean we have to buy a new one to plug straight to our camera??
Well, it may be possible to run the mic into your computer and then plug the headphone output on the computer into your camera. This may require a 3rd party software like Loopback - I've never tested it. Frankly, I would get myself a mic that connects directly to the camera. In fact, as I saw your question I was just planning a video that covers the Rode Wireless Go 2 which for the money is an amazing mic ( you can do so much more than connect it to your camera or Phone). Depending on your budget you may just decide to go with the Blue Yeti. Hit the subscribe button and the bell and you'll get a notification when I've released the video on the Rode. Let me know how you get on.
@@CourseBuildersAcademy thank you!!!!!!
what if i dont have a computer to plug in the usb?
You can power it from a powered USB adaptor
What if I need to hear myself while recording so I need to use headphones?
You could buy a splitter
But we must connect to pc or laptop. It doesn't work other wise. Even if we connect to powerbank
It likely won't work with a Powerbank, but it does work with a powered USB hub which doesn't need to be connected to a computer, it just has to be powered from the mains
@@CourseBuildersAcademy ohh wow I will try that. I hv one
@@CourseBuildersAcademy sorry. It doesn't work I tried with TPLink, powered USB
what about two mics?
Never tried, you could maybe use a splitter and plug two mics in the the single camera port. The only issue is both mics would be on one audio track
The bell angers one of my dogs. Ill have to get him some ear plugs.
Thank you
I'm having a terrible time with this. When I have the mic connected to the USB on my computer (or a hub) I get a horrible screeching in the audio. If I connect the mic to a USB charger plug and plug it into an electrical outlet the screech goes away. Problem now is that I can't use the presets in the Blue Voice software.
I've tried several TRS cables but it does not help.
I connected the Yeti X to the computer and recorded audio with Audacity and had NO problem
I have also connected a Rode NT USB mic to my computer and the camera using the same cables and I do not get this problem.
I know enough to know that this is electrical interference coming from somewhere.
Perhaps the SL3 is picking up interference some how???
Any help will be appreciated.
Yes it does sound like electrical interference. Are you running your camera on battery power or mains?
@@CourseBuildersAcademy I'm using a dummy battery. I'll switch to a battery and see what happens.
@@LawrenceMeisel Replaced the dummy battery with a fully charged battery. I was so hopeful because reviews on amazon mentioned interference from dummy batteries. BUT, no change. Still have the horrible screech. ☹ Back to the dummy battery and connected the Yeti to an AC charger. No screech. 😕
@@LawrenceMeisel try a normal battery and see if the issue goes away, if it does the dummy battery is the issue, I've had an issue like this before myself
@@TheXaminedLife this is strange, the only thing I can say is try unplugging things in the room, something is upsetting it for sure.
but the one you showed is not a USB mic?
The mic I used in this video is a USB it’s a Blue Yeti which is only made in a USB version
tnq for this video,,i have important qualities please help me, can i connect rode podmic usb mic to camera sony zv-e10 Mr Andrew????🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
yes you sir
Great video, I set up my Sony alpha 7ii with the sennheiser Profil just the way you discribed, I can control the audio via the mic but I get a pretty loud hissing sound , do you have any ideas way? Thanks for the help
Have you tried with just a battery and not connected to mains. I’ve seen this happen with a few Sony cameras
