- Finally! The video everyone's been asking for. This is the intro video to the audio series that answers "What Mic do you use Markus?" and many other questions about getting the best audio for video. It's not a simple answer, as this video will explain. Each person's voice and environment is different, which determines the type of mic, recorder, mic placement, etc etc. This will be a pretty extensive series, so take notes. Be sure to watch the whole video in each one, there is lots of info being shared here. Enjoy!

I love your shiny, big, generous channel. You make me realize that we camera geeks come from all ways of life and that we all are, somehow, family.
I'm glad you like my shiny big generous... um... channel 😉
@@MarkusPix lol
Great observation, Álex. For me personally, it gives me a huge kick to lay my hands on the latest APS-C / Super 35 or VistaVision "full-frame" 35mm sensor digital cameras designed in say 2020 and since then.... and then with the wonder of simple lens mount adapters, use photography or cine lenses on it designed in the 1960s or even before. Oldest lens I had heard of that someone used on modern digital camera was made in the 1880s. For audio recordings, 1950s to 1970s reel-to-reel portable Nagras, Uhers, Telefunkens do the trick.
Practical In depth audio videos are sorely absent on RUclips. This is perfect. Thanks Markus.
my pleasure
As a musician I am so glad that you have started this series. I retired two weeks ago and am starting to do the videos and recordings that I never had the time to do in the past. Thank you so much, I am so looking forward to learning from your practical and pragmatic points of view. Keep on keeping on, brother. 👍😎❤️
I have also been studying audio and video for two years now to setup my own gig. I never heard anyone explain so simply why XLR are not entirely necessary. Markus is correct. Most (95%) of people will only need a coupke of meters (8 feet) of wire at most if at all. If the recorder is sitting on the subject then you only need a little over a meter or approx 3 feet. I now know I am going in the right direction. Good luck mate.
@@kevlally You are correct boss.
@@kevlally Did theater recordings with unbalanced TS cables. Used a 25-foot unbalanced (unsymmetrical) TS cable for cable length extension, although this was a thick cable with 1/4-inch (6.35mm) jacks. The recordings came out pristine, no line noise of interference picked-up at all. Over 30 feet (10 meters) I would use TRS balanced (symmetrical) cables, though.
I almost choked on that opening with the baseball cap. You need a bunch of obnoxious gold chains, several nose & lip rings, and wearing at minimum 3 baseball caps at different angles in a follow up video please.🤣
This guy does add charisma to what he teaches. Excellent class today. Thanks
Yep...audio is so very important when shooting video.
awesome! Thanks MArkus!!! Now we just need director commentary on your movie!!!
Another awesome knowledgable real world video
I'm really looking forward to this series. Most of my videos are done in a blacksmith shop, which is acoustically horrible. Seems like there is never a good balance between the vocals and the ambient shop sounds.
Ok so i just watched a video about sound for movies of video for productions. Close micing as much as possible but your backround sounds are probably metal on metal. Limiting sounds in th background would be smart while doing your audio. You may be SOL because of your environment. Watch this and decide for yourself. ruclips.net/video/x6btmJSRueE/видео.html
All those sparks flying around makes it tricky, but every bit helps. Put fireproof sound blankets on everything you possibly can that's not in the shot, including as much of the floor as possible. Wool is the most flame resistant fabric of all, in Hollywood, they spray fireproofing clear liquid on everything. Or the ultimate fireproof sound absorbing flooring is sand. Put a mic under your shirt so any sounds behind and beside you will be blocked (I'll show how in upcoming video) Only talk between hits because theres no way to separate a hammer hit from a voice.
Wow... can't wait to watch this later tonight when it's quiet... ! Thanks for this!
Ah hell yeah, getting out the popcorn for this one.
12:17 I think that was one of the smoothest transitions I have ever seen... The audio overlap to make it seem like one clip is crazy!!! Nice one👍
It's called walking the talk. Really enjoyed watching that. Might even steal it.
Great start! Impressed with the detailed labeling along with everything you covered in the intro.
12.22 that transition!!! I'm gonna be thinking about how smooth that was for a week.
Markus always has the best audio sound of any youtube channel I've come across.
It's so crazy how much gear he have in all kind of ways. Is it camera gear or light gear or sound gear. I love him for this.
Totally agree that our voice is changing through the day!
I’ve been waiting months for this Markus , 😄!
Yes, Marcus, and in a few short minutes you give so much practical true workplace knowledge and expert tips from your experience over the years. Lately I have realized what I have learnt recently. You are giving so many hard to learn trade secrets and are truely sharing the joy and passion you have for the self content audio-visual industry.. You are a master class classic 👏
So much gold in this episode. The transition from the studio to the desert. So cool. The layering of dialogue tracks. 🤯 I knew that sounded good with music vocals but I never even thought to try it with dialogue. Please share your go to post processing in future videos!! Oh, and the ambience track for the waves! 🤯🤯🤯
As a musician I'm really into audio and totaly agree to that's been saying. Danke Markus für das wichtige Thema und das großartige Video. 🙂
God damn! As a successful RUclipsr that is known for great gunfire sounds in my videos, I thought I knew something about sound. You took me to school! I had noticed that my voice is awesome first thing in the morning and not so much the rest of the day. Thanks for this series.
I have been looking forward to this one. Thanks.
It actually comes as a relief that I have not found a good sound recording combination yet. I don't have as much equipment as Markus, but I've tried many different mics, recorders, acoustic treatments, etc, and good sound still alludes me.
Thanks Markus! Always enjoying the content.
So glad you're doing this!!
Looking forward to hearing more and learning more. Love that you experiment to get what works for your situation. That blue shotgun mic looked epic!
Fantastic! Thank you for doing this!
This was very helpful.
In class we used the r500 but the instructor never went into detail about microphone usage for the camera as much as you.
On the topic of different microphones for different people. I worked sound at CBGB at the start of Debbie Harry's career (Blondie). She sounded terrible on your rock and roll standard dynamic microphone, the Shure SM57 because she has little projection and the proximity base effect made her sound terrible. Taxi, the primary sound engineer, obtaindd a ribbon microphone which he presented to her with the admonition to always use a ribbon mike in the future. It cleaned up her vocals and the rest is history.
The best videographer in RUclips. I love learning from you. Keep doing this kind of videos. Good Bless you.
Great info Markus. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Finally! Audio hacks from the greatest video making hacker on RUclips. I learned so much from you, Markus, about lighting and video, so just had to comment before even watching this video.
I cannot believe Markus doesn’t have 1 million followers yet! No hype and always the real deal sharing real information! Oh, that hat Cara is wearing is quite snazzy! Awesomeness! Your passion is second to none!
I appreciate that!
I'm really looking forward to this. I plan on taking notes.
Highly anticipated video !
Perseverance and Hard Work is the professionals key to success !
I'm a perfectionist and spend extra time to separate myself from everyone else as good is never good enough for me and my clients reap the benefits.
Very exciting video Markus. Can't wait for more on this subject if you have time. Thank you so much.
Great info! Thanks for the video on this subject ... Cheers
Wow, I am beginner and I didn´t realize much how is actually soo important to my watchers feel comfotable by listening my audios/videos- Thank you for this video.
Wow Marcus you are insanely intelligent! I would love for you to make a movie or documentary! So many uncertified techs are working on set of some big budget productions when Marcus should be there again!!! Thanks Marcus!!!
I love your videos and tutorials! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and joy of doing with us!
Yes indeed, I have been waiting, thank you!
This is guy is my RUclips champion right here!!! Thank you!
It's refreshing to hear someone say that gear does matter, we all know it does. But it's also true that in creative pursuits the person with the biggest wallet doesn't necessarily win and that it's very easy to overspend and underproduce. Put your heart into it, create things you like and understand that if you have the time to even fantasize about creating a RUclips channel, you're among the luckiest people in the world. Thank you, sir.
One of thing I consistently appreciate from your videos is your organizational skills: Topic/gear/skill/art/ - and fun! You are a mad scientist with a living Rational Database Management System in your head with the heart of a child who sees the potential to have fun with any given thing. I know how to feel that, what you produce, but I don't know how you call it. Thanks.
This is just priceless! Way better knowledge and wisdom than other RUclips channels with tens of millions of subscribers. Thank you.
When I just started out, I thought, Markus, a bit weird, your vids. They do not bring a lot what I can use, but I still like you. The further I get into photo, video and audio, the more I find, what an absolute wealth of knowledge you have. I value your opinion a lot! and thanks for sharing everything with us. (not here for the giveaways, I am blessed with a good life too) You are a true genuine kind person. We could use more of your kind! Been here almost from the start and who know, maybe I will follow your vegan stuff too in the future, currently flexitarian.
Brilliant; Being true to truth, no mincing, no sugar glaze….real world representation. Glad to find you!
This guy knows his stuff.
as a music producer you got it spot on!
Hahaha Marcus, that beginning piece is awesome, same as before! Backwards baseball cap, accent lighting, and talking constantly with their hands lol Can I make a suggestion? Would you make a whole video "in character"? Its about time someone spoke out about this RUclips Status Quo. It would be awesome!!! And so funny!
A refreshing injection of common sense. I'm looking forward to following this series: audio is something I want to understand better. Thank you.
Finally! Thanks for all the effort 😊
Thanks for telling the truth. Not just selling a product. And thanks for all the info you have shared that helped me get started. 🎙🎤🎤🎙
I dont know what I will do without you. You just beat them all with common sense. Love your way of thinking love ya Markus. Cant wait for the next audio program. Just appreciate your truthfulness, not like all the dudes giving everyone advice based om what equipment was sponsored.
If you find a way to cover a tenth of the stuff you scratched the surface on here it is going to be an absolutely awesome series. One suggestion, please continue to include tips on getting the best performance out of whatever gear you have.
From MarkusPix to MarkusMic! Me as studio audio gear guy, I enjoyed every second of the video and I agree that not always the most expensive equipment makes the best quality, but personal experiences, which are priceless. Looking forward for the next videos.
Markus, Silky Smooth Crisp Punchy Audio !! , you have one of the best or the best audios in RUclips. Thanks for sharing this!! Audio is underrated in the video community Unless you are dealing with high end production houses and studios. but most people concentrate in the video quality and overhype the resolution wars, 4K and now 8K and if you don't shoot in 4K you are subpar, but 1080 suffices if you know what you are doing, like you have shown in most of you videos. Cheers Mate!
Too bad I live in the Toronto area, I could really use an on body mic and recorder like you used. Most of my work will be outdoors. I will be waiting for the rest of this series. Based on what I see here and what I know about you, you would definitely know the best. I hope you get into audio syncing as well. Great work Markus! And to your Mrs behind the camera! Much love!
Make a little clapper board just like they use in films.. more accurate and less painful (if you've done several takes) than clapping..
Most informative sound recording video on RUclips. This is when a pro make tutorial or whatever. Love this man.
I agree, having watched quite a few in the past you can tell this is coming from someone with in the field experience. Small tips can make a world of difference. I've never seen someone post examples of lav mics under different shirts but wow, that was night and day and something I'll always keep in my mind.
I think the best thing I got from this video is when you said "Do what makes you feel good. You can't please everyone". Well said. And thank you for sharing. I love all your stories about Hollywood and your experiences. Hoping to finally finish my puppet music video this year, and share it with you. Have a great day.
This guy is the best teacher on RUclips
Danke Dir Markus für deine Großzügigkeit und zu helfen .
If you edit for THX and tell everyone to only listen on THX the results will stay consistent 🤦♂️🤣 that is for doing what you do and keep creating!
Thank you for this information. It really helps us newbie’s understand that there is no magic set up, it takes trial and error to figure out what works best.
G'Day Markus.
Thanks for taking the time to do this, its something I have been trying to get my other half to understand so its great that someone else is saying basically the same thing. Now if I can only get her to sit down long enough to actually watch it all....oh well lol.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Take Care.
Always a pleasure ❤️
Am sure it's gonna be the best series on Audio, the most important aspect content production. Am in Uganda am anxiously waiting for every episode. Thanks Marcus
This is great Markus, Greatly needed in the RUclips space.
Could not agree more! Be happy creating! I've been learning, and very soon have content to share! On youtube, it is 50/50 video/audio.. maybe more audio in some situations..on some video..but roughly 50% each.. I love both! Love from Europe to You, Markus and Cara, as well you, guys/gals on this channel comunity!
This is the most useful information I have heard in a very long time. It exploded all the myths I have been told. I fell into error many times. These caused bewilderment and confusion. Your video dispelled all my doubts and answered almost all my questions! Everything depends on the personal voice of the user, his location, the equipment employed and how different pieces are combined. Made a whole lot of sense. Thank you ever so much.
I’m so freaking excited for this!!
MOAR BLACKED OUT VIDEO!! PERFECT FOR NIGHTTIME VIEWING/LISTENING!
Love this Markus; as an audio guy who goes for what matters, I love the practical approach to it all just the same as you!
I am absolutely thrilled to know you have that experience to hone in one the configurations that work. This is complete gold. I wish more people knew these tips.
Great new direction on your channel. I am familiar with all the industry standard stuff. Tinkering with cheap audio options with mixed results. Its not just audio quality but also practical use of sound recording. If you have to shoot on your own audio can get cumbersome the traditional way with wires. Yet wireless has its own downsides. Looking forward to your experiences with the advancement of audio technology in the RUclips era. Thanks for making this audio series!
you're spot on: wireless has its own downsides, indeed: like the risk of losing your audio due to interference (may happen without you noticing), and I don't mean necessarily as in crossing-over with another one but scratchy and unclean sound due to the thing only being slightly off can (and DOES) happen. More than one of my colleagues had to go back and spend another hour re-capturing interviews with a client or similar. Go hard-wired with portable (for other reasons as beyond just that, too). That's what I do.
I thought I knew a thing or two about audio but this was eye opening
Wow, couldn't agree more with everything you said. I am immensely interested in audio and look forward to your forthcoming videos.
Bring it Marcus, just bring it.
Bigly.
When I was in audio school, we were taught to mix on monitor speakers first and THEN monitor headphones for final tweaks to make sure the edit sounds good across as many possible devices as possible.
As a music producer trying to get into making short movies this was so helpful man. And from a professional like you means a lot here.
Well I was finally able to watch this after everyone went to bed... Great audio examples! Tinkering at its finest!
Awesome! I’m so happy you know your audio also. Can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks again for sharing amigo!
Thanks for sharing so many nuggets from your "tinkering". They are like the cooking secrets that don't make it to the recipe card. Looking forward to the next part.
Awsome video! This audiophile give you 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I started following you recently and thought you were a goofball. But I'm realizing we're a lot alike. You can't just try one thing and you have fun trying and learning along the way. Thanks for this series, I know nothing about audio and excited to listen n learn! Awesome!
I have struggled with audio for years, and your audio has always been top notch, thanks for this info Markus!
Thanks Marcus great video. My voice is bad at the best of times but is defiantly better in the morning and then deteriorates as the day goes on. Thanks for all the great advice, as a relatively new creator it really helps. Look forward to the next one.
happy to see the audio series. the most interseting part of the video i found was that your voice can change a lot depending on the time of day i never really paid that much attension to it. i'm going to see how my voice changes during the day and see what i find.
this is going to be awesome... I really want to learn about audio editing for my work and for my channel. I look forward to seeing how you do this work. thanks for sharing
Audio is so much "ear of the beholder". I'm looking forward to this.
I like it when you are candid with your opinions on subjects where ti would be easy to generalize. I was delving into audio recording when I was 13 with reel to reel, 54 years of exposure, mostly dabbling but a few phases where it was my occupation. After a long break I'm back into it for video so this is going to help.
I just watched this whole series and you have given me so many ideas and solutions for audio stuff after watching all of these! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SERIES!
Dear Cara and Markus.
Seriously looking forward to the rest of the series..
You have convinced me about doing audio separately.. doing the techniques you said here and in other videos .. though I will still have camera audio as backup/background and to synchronise to..
I've worked in recording studios.. there are many singer's that bring their own microphones as it gives the sound they like.
I'm still saving up for a Panasonic V800 (mainly because it has stereo mic jack's) it's affordable and perfect for RUclips. I will get a second bigger battery.
Kindest regards Bella and Mark.
I love how detailed Markus is. It makes me a better artist. Thanks Markus.
I would love to have that Schoeps, lol. Thank you for your "service" Markus (Tinker President). You have done so much research and now it's valuable to us, followers.
I've been looking forward to this videos. And you know it because I asked for them like 4 times, hahaha!
Thank you Markus, again, for sharing.
It's so different to see and hear this information from a person who has done his homework for so many years, instead of from all those rock stars out there who have 2-3 years shooting weedings.
Can’t wait to watch this. I need to do a better job with EQ and compression for my videos.
Thanks for doing this series!
The new series SOUNDS awesome, but seriously - thank you for sharing all of that great knowledge!
Audio is so important! My own journey has lead me to a pretty solid budget combo for my desk; a focusrite scarlet solo paired with a Behringer xm8500 xlr mic! Would def like to explore lav mics and a dedicated recording unit for shooting on the go or away from my desk!
"Do what makes your heart sing." Wow, GREAT advice, Markus!! I'd like to learn more about audio because I'm a singer but in the end, I think what I'm hearing is it has to make me pretty happy. I've gotten unkindnesses on how I look but oddly enough, not how I sound.
Thank you, Markus! Lesson learned!
Great topic! Looking forward to subsequent episodes. I'd like to see/hear your analysis of using a good cell phone (with an external mic) as the recorder(s). Maybe not a great resource for making blockbuster movies, but there are lots of RUclipsrs that could benefit by moving from camera mic to anything else.
The Achilles Heel of even the best smart phones is their interface connection. Either there aren't any, or whatever they do have is krap.
