What makes a good video? Nice lighting, pretty pictures, interesting content? These all contribute, but something that is often overlooked is sound. There is a saying that states \u201850% of good video, is good audio\u2019. It sounds so simple when said like that, but it\u2019s easy to overlook good quality sound when recording your footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problems with audio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With smartphones and inexpensive video cameras (and DSLRs), it\u2019s really easy to get footage of a project you\u2019re working on. Video quality often ranges from acceptable to (in the case of higher-end smartphones and DSLRs) beautiful. What is often lacking, however, is good quality sound to go with those lovely pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not surprising. Phone and DSLR microphones are about the size of a pencil point and are often many feet away from the action. It\u2019s amazing how forgiving modern viewers are of poorer quality images. In contrast, when they hear bad sound on a video they are quickly thrown out of the moment and lose track of what is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We, however, have the perfect solution. We have several Tascam digital audio recorders to loan out. These are little mics that plug into a small recording unit that can be discreetly and comfortably worn in a pocket. For their price, they are some of the best audio recorders I\u2019ve ever used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m quite fussy about audio and when out on a shoot, concentrate hard on monitoring audio to get the perfect levels. With these, I don\u2019t need to. Set them to auto, pass them to the person and press record. That\u2019s it. The quality of recording and ease of use is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering recording something in the future I would encourage you to contact us and borrow one of these kits. It takes a few seconds to set up and a few more to add to your edit. Consequently, you will have brilliant quality sound to go with your lovely, well-shot videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
