    BEST tutorial I've come accross so far!! Thank you for making this!!! 🤩 I have 1 question; when I want to record a vlog, and I connect the transmitter to my phone (android) and I use only 1 of the mics to record the audio (as a clip on); then what is the best setting to assure the sound of my voice will be heard on the right and left speaker later when listening to it? Should I put the setting of this 1 speaker to 'stereo' for this?
    I keep getting confused by the actual audible difference between stereo and mono 😆 Love to hear if I understand this correctly.
    And in addition; when speaking with another - in an interview for example; is 'mono' the more natural setting for both mics? Does this lead to later hearing one speaker from the right and the other from the left? Or would here too - in fact 'stereo' be the more common choice?
    Thanks again for all your time and attention!! Much appreciated!! 🙌🙏❤😊

    • @SoIDoNotForget
      @SoIDoNotForget  7 месяцев назад +2

      Hello, Thanks for your comment, I really appreciated it. When recording in stereo and using one mic/Tx it will record only on one side depending on which mic you are using. When recording mono it will record on both sides even when using the two mics. So in mono, you will hear both mics on the left and also on the right basically they are both mixed in one track. I would suggest recording in Stereo when using two mics that way you have more control in the post to manipulate the audio (unless there is something quick and you don't want to deal with post-production) and in mono when using just one mic. I hope this helps. 🙌

    • @SoIDoNotForget
      @SoIDoNotForget  10 месяцев назад

      Hello, to be honest, I'm not exactly sure but something like that I noticed when I recently purchased them. What I did was to let it charge for days, meaning mainly overnight connected to a wall, and it's been charging and holding the battery every since then but if you still have that problem probably will be better to contact Hollyland or the place you purchase it from. Another thing that might need, (if available) is maybe a firmware update.

    Been messing around with mine and it seems to be pretty good. I noticed though recording level is pretty low, upped gain to about 6 and it still seems pretty low. Im guessing the volume will have to be upped in post and hope background noise isnt to bad. Did you have to up the volume during editing?

      Hello, yes yesterday I recorded a quick voice over(at 6) and even though the level is kind of low, I raised on Davinci and it sounds good. No floor noise. You can also go higher on the setting of the receiver maybe 8 or even 10 just to double check and see what’s the ideal final level. Thanks

    • @SoIDoNotForget
      @SoIDoNotForget  9 месяцев назад

      The first thing that comes to my mind is to double check the cable that goes from the receiver to the camera. If you have an additional one, try it out. Worst case of scenario if you already on the set remember that you can record the audio directly in the transmitter(microphone) Also double check that the cable is not plugin in the audio input.

    Great walkthrough and a really useful review. I have a set of those. I use them for interview recordings in construction areas. The fur caps (would hardly call them a dead cat) fall of quite easily. Do you have any suggestion on how to make them stick better? Or better to just suck it up and put lav mics on them, and put the unit in the interviewees pocket?

    • @SoIDoNotForget
      @SoIDoNotForget  9 месяцев назад +1

      Thank You!
      Yes, one suggestion that comes to mind is probably to use Velcro tape. A slim strip of Velcro on the from of the transmitter or back even though the back part is a little narrow could work.
      Since you have the lavs I would suggest using it that way the transmitter is not showing on camera, clip the transmitter in the back of their pants. There are several types of tapes online that you can use to hide the lav or just clip it on. amzn.to/3TWhoIP

      If you only use the transmitter(mic) to record internally in it, yes You need to sync it in post.
