    Damn, I foolishly bought a video course that promised to teach how to correctly process audio for video, but they only explained basic stuff.
    In this 5 minute video I got a lot more information and value, and everything's very well explained.
    Thank you so much!

    Thanks for the tutorial! It was super helpful and the different comparisons throughout the video really emphasized what you were doing and I really appreciated that. It's crazy that you were able to make the lab sound that similar to the boom. I'd love to see your workflow for outdoor audio processing

    This video is extremely helpful, thank you so much! I know it'll take me a while to get the hang of it, but your tip of isolating the "boxy" and other sounds is helping me a lot. I'm a newb with this, and I feel a little less like I'm just randomly making adjustments and seeing what works now.
    Thanks again!

    @Grunfeld 3 года назад

    Thanks -- that all made sense. I had to record videos for work during lockdown and my audio really sucked! For the next batch my budget plan is to record audio separately with a lav and an old Zoom H2n, , gently process it with these suggestions (in Reaper as my DAW which has usable EQ, Comp, and reverb (not sure about DeEsser)), and synch the sound back to the video in the free version of Resolve.

    Just bought a $200 TASCAM DR10L lav recorder and mic... of course as soon as I do, all my recommendations are videos about how boom and shotgun mics are way better. I don’t disagree! That brightness made me pretty regretful. But omg, Alex! This video has been so helpful in calming my nerves. Thank you! (Also really want fabfilter now!). Great, fast, simple explanation and demonstration. I wish you went into a bit more detail about those unpleasant frequencies because I’m not too sure what to listen for, but thank you so much!!

    @dominey 4 года назад +1

    Timely video! Recently received the new Rode Lavalier Go and the mic has a lot of "boxy" mid-range with little-to-no low/high end. EQ'ing helps fix that, but what I never thought of adding was the touch of reverb you mentioned. Will def give that a try.
