    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.

    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!!

    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.
