Welcome to our channel. In this video, we are going to talk about the basic principles of professional microphone placement and in general, the ways we should pay attention to have a great recorded sound. We all know what a difference it is to have a professional sound compared to a bad sound, this sound is going to keep your audience interested in listening to your work more and also has a very positive effect on the image of your brand or your work. In recent years, sound recording has become an important part of the job, and many people spend a lot of money on microphones but do not get good sounds and the quality of their recorded sounds is not worth the money they spent. One of the misconceptions that beginners have about sound recording is that the sound quality is only good with expensive microphones. But the principles of proper microphone placement are the most important part of the story. Even a regular microphone may give you better sound in good conditions than expensive microphones in bad conditions. So let's get to know the types of microphones together and review the tips for proper microphone placement: 1. Condenser microphones: Light diaphragm with high sensitivity, suitable for studios and high audio details, used for instruments and vocals. 2. Dynamic microphones: High resistance, suitable for open environments, suitable for energetic and noisy vocals. 3. Shotgun microphones: Focused to record sound in a specific direction, suitable for filming and interviews. After getting acquainted with microphones, we will discuss the points we need to follow in order to make a proper recording: Distance from the microphone: Being close to the microphone amplifies the sound and eliminates noise, and vice versa, being far from the sound allows additional sounds to enter, and the appropriate distance is different for each microphone. (Hand, and 4 fingers) Suitable location: Most microphones are cardioid and the front side is the most sensitive. And at a 45 degree angle, the pops are reduced and the sound is more desirable. Pop filter: Used to minimize explosive and annoying sounds, which is definitely necessary and one of the most important points that does not physically interfere with the diaphragm. Lavalier microphones: Lavalier microphones are only sound transmitters and transmitters and their connection point is in front of the chest and near the sound, which is recommended in closed environments, but it should not be too high or low. Shotgun microphone: Be careful that your shotgun should not be in front of the image and is usually placed outside the frame because it has a specific purpose, isolating source sounds. It is very important to follow the principles for recording with the right quality because even a $ 3,000 microphone can sound like a $ 5 microphone. And to know the most important principles. I posted a course on my site that summarized all the topics of sound, speech, and the course. It's called Voxy. I definitely recommend you watch its explanations so that you can learn about both technical principles and engineering and other audio topics. –– 2:21: The effect of plexiglass on sound 2:28: How to work with a pop filter and the right angle 2:48: General tips on using a microphone 3:05: How to work with a microphone in cardioid conditions 3:15: Tips on preventing sound degradation using a filter and the right angle 3:22: Starting to talk about dynamic microphones 3:40: The difference and importance of the right distance in using dynamic microphones 4:35: Lavalier microphones 4:59: Introducing shotgun microphones 5:32: The difference between professional shotgun microphones and shotgun recorders 5:56: Important tips for recording the right sound with a shotgun microphone 7:21: Recommendations for better use and introduction to the VOX course –– *** My educational site https://rezasadeghi.net/ Professional audio recording and processing course https://rezasadeghi.net/vox Photo editing course with Adobe Lightroom Mobile https://rezasadeghi.net/course/lrmobile/ Neurocolor color psychology course https://rezasadeghi.net/color Color correction and color grading course 1902 https://rezasadeghi.net/course/1902/ Introductory photography course from scratch https://rezasadeghi.net/course/azsefr/ My Instagram page / rezasaad My Telegram channel https://t.me/rezasaad My Twitter page / rezasadeghiart –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– We are working hard...
