I thought I knew what I was doing but couldn't get rid of this annoying background noise while I was testing my new camera setup. Thanks to your video instructions I was able to get the audio just right and without the annoying noise! As always, your video rocks! Thanks for the help!
Thank you for a quick and concise video! I have a question that I’m really struggling with. For lapel mics, do you increase the volume on the receiver or transmitter? I find this very confusing. Thank you 😊
Thank you, first time setting it up I had very high peaks with the DJI wireless mics. I see that i had the camera volume too high. I'll try to increase gain on the mic instead. Thank you
Previously with the DJI Pocket 3 this problem didn't exist, had to spend a lot of time adjusting Audio in the edit process when i attached the mic to the Sony Camera, makes sense now.
1) What is your recommended final exported db level for a clip? 2) For Sony cameras- if the maximum target recording level is -12db and final export level is higher/louder (I have seen -3db), why isn't upping the gain in post going to increase noise problematically? 3) For non-Sony camera recording, should you try to record as close to you final export db level as possible to avoid increasing noise?
Thx for the video! I didn't quite get the point at the end about sony cameras. Does that mean my audio will start clipping at -12db when I set it to +1? So I should make sure that my voice never surpasses -12db?
Correct, at +1 you want to try your best not to let it surpass -12dB. Technically it can go to -9dB and be fine, so don't be too afraid if your voice is consistently hitting -12db. When you bring it into your editor the audio recording will seem quite low. You'll need to add some Gain to bring it all back, but it's nice and clean sounding. Hope this helps!
As I explain in the video, the only time you should raise the cameras mic level gain is if everything you've done before hand does not get you to the -12dB area. For Sony's once you've passed the +3 or 7 range, you won't have to worry about clipping like +1. The main idea is that you always want to check what the soundbar is hearing and measuring at whatever setting you have the cameras mic level. There is no ideal setting as every filming situation is different. The only thing that can used to ensure you are at the right level is by checking your sound bars for your filming situation. Hope this makes sense.
I have not used a DJI Mic 1 before so I'm not entirely sure what the noise floor sounds like. White noise can be a number of things that may be hard to nail down over the internet. If you followed these instructions and was getting white noise (hiss). Then it may be the audio cable or if you are plugging in power to your a6300 USB. Try a different cable and battery only in your camera to see if it helps with the hiss. If non of that helps, then see if a friend has a different mic you can try all together. Between these two tests you can have an idea if its you're microphone or the camera thats the problem. If there is hissing on both microphones, it may be your camera or you are not filming in the most ideal settings. If your friends mic works fine, then its your mic. Hope this helps!
Oh boy, I haven't used my old T3i in a long time. From what I remembered it did fine at -6 but it needed a lot of output from your microphone to get there. So if you're mic isn't loud enough, you may need to fine a way to boost its signal. Do not use battery-less mic jack powered mics. Those won't be loud enough fro the T3i

Thank you! Especially helpful with the Sony Comments as I have a A7Siii and A7R5. Have a great day! 😀

super helpful. just set up my Sony with this. Much appreciated

Very helpful my guy! Thank you
You're most welcome!
Thanks for sharing.
You're most welcome Enrique! Hope all is well man!
@@TLDR_filmmaker I am good thank you. Are you familiar with Cyberlink Power director. it's a photo / video editor.
I've heard of it before a looong time ago.

My brother from another mother that never invites me to hangout.
Hey hey hey, I totally tagged you ahead of time on my last collab livestream lol
@@TLDR_filmmaker 👏
What is your recommendation for the Sony a7 IV? I set my audio level to 20. Is it too high to record normal conversation at dining table?
As I explain in the video, the only time you should raise the cameras mic level gain is if everything you've done before hand does not get you to the -12dB area. For Sony's once you've passed the +3 or 7 range, you won't have to worry about clipping like +1.

Hope you see it. Im using dji mic 1. And sony a6300. Im getting white noise and its making me mad. Idk if its from the mic problem or the camera

I have a t3i. What’s the alt to -6

i always leave it on auto but it picks up the lens auto focus and it's annoying. this setup helps eliminate it. thanks
So glad this video was helpful!
