Thank you for sharing our film Kickstarter Alex! We greatly appreciate your support.
When he said “Roll off all the low energy that I don’t need”, I felt that🙏🏽
Really useful example, thanks for this Alex.
One of the best audio vids I've seen. Great info
Thank you Alex!
This was a fantastic tutorial! Super clear and effective.
Another fantastic video, Alex! Thank you so much.
Seriously perfect timing. This is the exact workflow I needed to get through an interview series I'm working on. Thanks, boss.
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!
Your videos are explained so well and the on-screen changes paired with the actual audio is really easy to follow. This is awesome!!!
You're awesome! Thanks for the tips. I'm still in that stage where I "oversaturate" everything I touch, but I will get there someday :)
Dope tutorial for me this is Top 2019 Gem... ill give 10/10 one of the best tips for Lavalier thanks, Alex.
This is an excellent tutorial on tuning Lav mics. I'm adding it to our CineWorks playlists.
wow Im spending my time trying to reduce the ambient echo from dialogue and you're adding some... you're a master of sound Alex
ABSOLUTELY what I needed! Thank you so much for showing your expertise on this matter. I’m going to follow your technique here and I have no doubts that you will save me tons of time that I’d otherwise spend on trial and error through EQ’ing on my own! Cheers!!
This very interesting and answers a lot of my questions. I have wondered about how they do this in films. I struggle with audio dialog in my KZread videos. I know what I want it to sound like but getting there is a battle. This video will help. Thank you!
Another excellent yet simple tutorial. You always hit the nail on the head with these, Alex. Thank you.
This is magic!!!!! You are a wizard.....
Just what I needed. Thanks for the tip, Alex! Looking forward to the next one☝️
The value of these videos is so good! Audio is the hardest thing to get right and expensive! both to get right and to get wrong!
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
You're an absolute genius. Thanks for everything you put out. I've circled back to your tutorials many times in the past couple years.
Good stuff as always Alex
Great video Alex. No 10-15 minute BS intro before getting to the tutorial. Smashed the SUBSCRIBE button.
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!
This is fantastic. Thank you for the video!
Extremely helpful and informative and so well explained. Really appreciate all your hard work Alex! Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks Alex! great video !
Great video. I always learn So much from your videos thank you
Thanks so much for the video! Would love to see how you would achieve some of this in a premiere workflow if at all possible. Great stuff and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I have been looking for a tutorial for improving lapel mic sound and OMG I can't thank you enough!!
awesome, crisp zoom calls from now on with my $10 lav mic. Learned about harmonics inside a tube in the process cause there were A LOT of those resonant freq.
Perfect! Short and to the point series. Loving every one of your pro tips. You should consider doing a Post Sound Master Class. I’d definitely paid to learn from you. Many thanks 🙏
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me! Thanks!!!
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.
I love the way you teach audio! thanks for the pro info!
I used to be afraid of water, but now I know how to remove all that moisture in which I nearly drowned. My savior, Axk!

Stay dry, my friend!
Thank you!! I’ve got a big shoot tomorrow with lavs and booms mixed. This tutorial is right on time!!!
Great vid the live demonstration was really good. Also love the tip about the short reverb people usually talk about EQ but not so much about that. Gonna try it for a test I just did for a wireless dual lav system. 👍
Now this is a great video on post production on lav mics
You got yourself another subscriber. I'm finding my career is pushing me more towards video and audio. This was very valuable information. Thank you, Alex
Holly!! A 5min video taught me SO MANY things! Thanks!
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!!
Very helpful advice for getting better sound from a lav mic. Thank you.
Man, I was looking for this kind of video everywhere! This is awesome and very useful - thanks Alex 👍
i use studio reverb affecting the lows to make warmth and not affect higher freqs. cool we came up with similar ideas.
Pretty amazing what you can do with software these days. Very cool bro
Very cool. Will be following your vids.
Excellent video explaining an incredibly useful technique!
Super useful tips Alex!! A little gem. Thanks for sharing man :)
Thanks a lot for this, it helps me a lot! Your channel will be huge! Specially if you focus on the film side of sound (foley, dialogue for film, on set operating). Great work, dude!
Awesome video, Alex!
Great tutorial, thank you. Strangely, on my headphones and to my ears, the unprocessed DPA sounded way better than the Sennheiser. Maybe it is how my bluetooth headphone and the phone adds its own EQ?
This video was incredible, thanks so much!
Wow, you made that look so easy Alex. Thanks for the insight into what's achievable with some tweaking, and adjusting. Much appreciated :)

Glad the info is helping!!
That was awesome! Thank you Alex!
I didn't know lav sounds so bad when you compare them side by side to a shotgun microphone. and the thing you did there in the EQ is like magic! wow thank you for the amazing information!
Subscribed for sure! Amazing audio content! Thank you!
Amazing videos finally clear audio answers. The only thing I've never been able to find the answer to is should I normalize a dialogue audio track before starting the processing of it?
Very helpful tips and a good, informative video. 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻
Amazing video sir, ton of useful information. Thanks!
Excellent video Alex. First time to find your stuff. Subbed.
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.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
This was a great video. I'm working on getting into the audio program at my school right now (assuming my awful gen Ed grades don't ruin that for me 🤔) and I'll be doing sound for a small independent short film in a few months here and all of this is incredible information. Looking forward to more uploads from you!
Alex thank you for saving me! Thought I had just brought a really crappy mic but you helped me save it all

wonderful vid! i just found your channel. i will start looking over some past vids. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.
I needed this! Also super interested in that doc project!
Great content as aways!
Alex, this is a KILLER tutorial. Thanks so much for your contribution to the audio space on KZread. We need way more high end audio tutorials and reviews.
This video has been incredibly helpful. Thanks Alex. I thought my Rode Lav just sounded like garbage. This EQ tutorial has made it sound pro.
Very helpful video, thank you for this!
Thanks Alex! My audio sounds way better since I started practicing the techniques that you taught!
Amazing video thank you
Wow, this stuff is amazingly helpful!
Wow thank you for sharing! So clearly explained and useful!
Informative and educational!
SO helpful!! thank you!!
Wow, what a difference. Great video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really helped me!
Great video. Learned a lot from this.
Awesome, great info thanks.
Great stuff, thanks!
These tips are very helpful. Thank you. Do you have any further tips on trying to make a lavelier sound more natural when the recording is made in the outdoors?
Great, very useful vid, thanks for sharing
Fantastic job!
Nice presentation and helpful tips Alex! Much appreciated! Just wondering about your takes on "home editing monitor" options and the "Pros & Cons" regarding those options? For those who simply edit on laptop or desktop in home environment, what are the ways to be able to monitor/edit our sound better with limited resources? And, how should we deal with KZread re-sample our audio when we edit/mix our ausio tracks before rendering/uploading? Many thanks!
5 minutes 30 seconds, no bullshit, just helpful information. Thank you!
Brilliant video. Thanks.
Awesome help man, thanks! I feel better about this now :)
Really useful thank you 👍👍
Très bonne vidéo. Un cas pratique bien expliqué, merci !
