schoeps cmc641 as boom mic for interviews. Expensive as hell, excellent audio. Lesson: Invest in microphones, take care of them, they'll last you 10-20 years. (unlike everything else)

I have a rode videomic go for when I lav people and a Deity Vmic V3 Pro on camera for R&G. I'm in the market for a XLR shotgun mic for my shiny new FX3 and I'm open to suggestions!

One of my own tips gleaned from an audio engineer at CBC Television is if you find your lav too ‘present’ you can mix 2 mics in post. So you can set your lav at say 70% and your boom or shotgun at 30% and voila you can have the best of both worlds by adding some room sound. Play with the percentages…

great advice. I think about this kind of stuff way too absolutely so I appreciate the guidance of blending the two, Pierre 👍🏻

As a nurse, one tip I've found to get medical tape off is to use hand sanitizer to wet the tape and the alcohol with break down the stickiness of the tape.

As a sound recordist for twenty years I still got some good information from your video, thanks

That ball cap you are wearing can be an excellent place to hide a lav. Under the brim (which is black) use black gaff or paper tape to fix mic in place. Run the cable over the head and drop down the back of the shirt. Long hair will help hide the cable. No problem with head turns, as the hat moves with your head. Only works, of course, if the hat stays on!

Great idea thanks!

Love hearing more about audio. It's often the last thing to be considered when on set as a 1-2 man crew. I'd love to hear more about audio processing as well! He made several references to "you can fix it in post" so that would be neat to see some tips on as well!

Mark, you are a life saver. I have my first official documentary project coming up and you just happened to stumble into my recommended at the same time. I spent the last two days watching as many of your videos that I can and I have to say, the amount I have learned from you in just the last two days compared to ANY other documentary KZreadr is second to none. These videos have made me feel so comfortable with what I’m going to be working with. I have no doubts if you keep this up you are going to dominate this platform in the videography/photography sector. I appreciate you so much Mark. I can’t wait to see you become a giant here.

I am the sound person tomorrow for the first time on a documentary ❤

This is going to be such a huge help! Your videos always leave me a little better equipped. Sound is one of my current challenges. New to the world of visual arts from music production and computer engineering. Thanks!!!

No joke, this video was super informative. I've always thought "hey, I want to get my mic close to the subject's mouth, let me mic near the chin" not knowing how the chin affects that EQ.

No wonder you have over 140,000 subscribers… you look after all our basic needs lighting, audio, etc but then you entertain us with your humour and inspire us with your elegant craft!! As a new a7Siii owner, (and fellow Canadian) I thank you for ‘upping my game’ !! KUDOS 🇨🇦👏😎

Thank you Mark and Dane, this was super helpful for someone like me that knows near nothing with so much misinformation out there. But your tips were great, and the explanation makes a lot of sense! Thanks for taking the time!

This video is gold, never thought of that. Thanks Mark! You're the legend

*Infinite Thanks, Mark and Dane! You guys are Legends!* 🏆

This was so helpful for someone who doesn't know too much about audio. Can't wait to "level" up my audio.

Loved it! That was really useful. I've found mic-ing up corporate peeps before interviews with my Senheizer G3's always a rushed process, and kinda uncomfortable too, because I'm very much in their 'personal space'. I joke about it to ease the awkwardness, but the 'rustle' often becomes noticeable about 5 mins into interview! I must get some tapes. Been thinking about it for ages.Thanks!

MB always dropping those knowledge bombs. Thanks bro!

Thanks for the helpful tips! I didn't think about the sound phasing when you move your hands. I'll definitely keep that in mind going forward!

💥 Great tip about lav placement closer to the chest! 👍 I imagine so many of us have been doing it wrong. And now we know!

So useful, thanks man! Really appreciate you sharing this with us.

About to upgrade/replace my smart lav kit, so this vlog can just in time. Thanks for always sharing great topics.

Great video. This actually teaches something useful in an efficient and fun way. Thanks!

It’s clear when you get info from a true, lived it and breathed it, expert. No bullshit, just here are the facts. Thanks Dane 🙏

Great video. Great to hear more on capturing good sound, and how to do it.

I've only recently gotten into film making, just silly things with my friends. But, after realizing I really need a lav, I looked to KZread for some help. This video answered just about every question I had, and then some I didn't even know I had. Thank you for taking the time to make this!

You’re welcome mate!

not gnna lie, that little lav is so cute haha, cant believe that little things gets audio quality like that

absolutely love these videos!!! They always have great take aways even for people that have been in the industry for years :)

Actually the best video I've seen on this fr answered all my questions thank you

That was really interesting and very professional talk about the subject, thanks for that!

Thank you for the honest review. I have the same feeling, from the construction and design the Rhino concept has many advantages compared to Edelkrone, but if the accuracy, repeatability etc. is not given it is useless. The hope is that it is only an software issue which could be fixed with a good develper.

Fantastic. Excellent. Thanks. I've watched several tutorials and I think that's the first time I've heard the lav and boom directly compared. I think I am going to try to boom whenever possible over lav. Thanks again! (Also, going to upgrade my lavs. It's time.)

I'm always learning, and I did learn the hard way that if the top surface of a cylindrical lav (no foam screen) touches a person's skin, the sound is virtually gone (the person's voice just sounds like a very, very low electrical murmur). Well, this happened with a Sony ECM-44B (shaped like the Sennheiser shown at 1:25), but later experiments showed it was not the mic's fault. I had let someone (in a t-shirt) mic themselves and just did not give the task the attention it deserved.

The video I was looking for. How to wear a lav mic properly! Thank you for this video!

Nice demo video. Have never tried the wind screen on the COS-11 when using the rubber mount.....will have to give it a try.

Wow thank you. I hope to get this video project and I thought about doing the audio myself for 8 people. After watching this, I’m definitely going to hire a audio engineer.

Thanks a lot Mark for this video. Full of little tips and great ideas 🤟🏻

This is awesome very helpful. That Lav sounded really good you can barely tell the difference between lav and boom mic

Super helpful! Thanks a lot!

So good! Great to see Dane!

When it was still available, I used Spetralayers Pro to remove ugly noise, even wind. You could see the wind noise in the display, select it using Photoshop-type tools, and then delete it.

Thank you for this video...I really needed this

Love it when I learn something useful!

Really enjoyed this. Just started using a lav for my videos this week so i'm looking forward to putting a few bits of this video into practice! Cheers man.

I use a lav mic to make content for YT and I always get mega mega boom from it. I can't wait to try the tip of placing the mic in the center of the chest. Thanks a lot.

Great tutorial. Thanks Mark. Is it possible with EQ in post to make the lav sound more like the boom mic?

Very good Video as always Mark! I m learning so much about your videos! Please keep going.. thx!!! best regards from zürich

Super helpful thank you!

Really great video dude. Some super helpful tips

That was helpful. Thanks.

Great content. I use the same techniques with same mics for professional documentaries :) One tip I use a lot is to place some of the fur on top of the concealer, not covering the mic, in order to reduce clothe rustles.

Great video! Really useful content. Thank you!

Thanks, very helpful video!

Thanks so much for this. It's my new reference video. 👍

Thx great video!! A link to the snot tape would be awesome as several others have asked too…

Amazing. That tape to the side of the body is 👌

Trying these tips out now!

Very good! I’ve been doing this for a long time, but always eager to pick up a new trick. I had never heard of snot tape. I’ve heard of a snot rag…

This was SO helpful!! Thank you!

How do you/ do you mic women different (position of the lav) ? would love to have tips on that 👌

Merci pour ces explication claires et pratiques. Je suis preneur de son pour des tournages depuis seulement 2 ans (anciennement preneur de son de studio pendant plus de 20 ans). Je rencontre des difficultés que je n'avais pas prévues. J'apprends tous les jours.

the last part was very informative and awsome

Great information, very useful, thank you !

This was great, very dense video with all those pro tips

This is crazy! I had no idea that the mic could go underneath the shirt!

Thank you so much for sharing this! Thank you Dane, for sharing your knowledge as well. :-)

Really enjoyed that man. Thanks so much.

This is helpful, thank you 🙏👍🏻

Great video. Thank you so much. What is the iPad audio software you are using?

That was really helpful. Thanks!

Excellent guide. For Mark, if you wear your baseball cap a lot in your videos, you could attach the lav mic to your cap's visor. That would be easy to conceal and make part of the hat, and it will still give a good distance from the mouth with minimal occlusion from the acoustic shadow cast by the head. Depending on eyewear, another place to hide a lav mic could be near the hinges and screws at the side of the glasses, but that depends a lot on the glasses styling. Maybe for content creators who shoot at a specific angle this is also a good choice. Nothing beats the hidden method you propose in this video, so I just thought I would share two more ways here.

Thanks MB - really useful video👍. What app is he using on the iPad?

Awesome. Thank you!

I use spray adhesive remover for my stoma bags which also removes it from hair, maybe that would help with removing the tape from their chest!

Excellent video! Thanks for the tips! What is that app running on the iPad at back?

Super helpful video! also, I'm loving Mark's facial expressions throughout this whole video 😂

Nice. Thanks!

Great demo. Sound is always the easiest to overlook until you're stuck in the edit dealing with it.

Thanks good advice

Thank you for doing this video! Can you tell me what 'snot' tape is called and where to get it? I'm not really seeing anything that looks like what you have in the video.

For me its always the boom mics that sound better, but lavs are useful & this video is great

Oh wawww! So helpful. Thank youuuuu 🙌🏾 🔥
