Omnidirectional Mics in XY and ORTF doesn´t make sense. You use cardioid microphones in XY and ORTF Setup. For Omnis just spaced AB

Yes. I was mistaken about the position of omnidirectional microphones. Fortunately, it doesn’t really affect the recording, at least from what I understand and what I have noticed.

@@daviddumaisaudio Yes it doesn´t really effect the recording because it doesn´t really matter in which direction they are pointing (at least to a certain degree). The only negative thing you could say is that they are not spaced out enough to create a good stereo image. But if the Recording sounds good it doesn´t matter, how it was recorded right?

btw I noticed some clicks similar to what I got with resolve with the youtube render preset, but if I just render out with the default the clicks weren't there - I hope that helps if you're even using resolve :)

Great video David! I was wondering what stand/holder you are using between your f6 and microphone setup? Looks like a great run and gun setup.

Hi Dave I'm defiantly not an expert as I only learned about field recording 5 days ago and bought my H1 Essential 3 days ago but maybe you should get the Zoom M3 mic as it can film in both Stereo and Mono and you can even change from one to the other in post after you've recorded pretty awesome mic from what I can see and have learned in 5 days about sound and recording

If you want to record in stereo and mono at the same time go with mid/side microphone. Then you can decide later. Try positioning your omni mics 180 degrees opposed about the width of your head. Works like our ears. Captures left-right-front-back-up-down. While reviewing a recording I actually turned to see what was behind me. With only 2 mics.

Where can I check the projects you have worked on (preferably highly involved, like whole sound design for a game)?

Good advice David. It's amazing how many recordings I ruined because of my breathing or silly stuff like handling or cable noise. Also be very aware of the clothes you're wearing before you go out. I also screwed up a few recordings because of the rain jacket I had on, or Nylon hiking shorts/pants that made rustling noises whenever I moved. All part of the learning process though.

It's where a good directionnal mic helps, I suppose...

Finding the right input level can be tricky too, so if it's possible, yes, do multiple takes, I'll add at difcerent levels.

Hello David! Great ideas shared there but I think you do a big mistake mounting omnidirectionnal mics in XY... because they are omnidirectional, only the space between them will create a stereo image (the delay between the 2 mic) so only AB makes sense for this kind of pattern. 2 Omni mics in XY means you will record 2 time exactly the same thing. Just an advice, if you want to do XY, use cardio mic! ;)

Yes, you are right. I think spacing them further apart would be more beneficial than where the mics are pointing. I’ll be experimenting with that more. Thanks for the tip!

In fact, your omnis are not that omnidirectional as you had wished. That's why your XY experiments resulted in something stereo.

Mixing L and R channel often produce awful results. I find that selecting one of the channel is better. Of course this iq something to taake into account if you only has sterro micq but wants a mono track for final result. Sadly, many recorde mix both channels but only has the internal pair of mics. The distortion is obvious if you record a voice in a room with a good amount of reverb and the mics are at one meter (even less) of the source.

Why do you mount omnidirectional mics with an angle? That should not do something significantly different to mounting them straight

@DashGlitch

If the mics are pointing in the same direction, they are likely to pick up a very similar source and thus negate the need for a stereo pair ;)

Are you speaking so hyper fast so you have less to edit?

slow down please. This seems intended for people getting into field recording like myself and your losing me real quick with the fast talk and technical lingo many of us probably dont have a full grasp of yet specially if we are here for a beginners type video.
