45: Your Audio Should Sound Amazing, with Ray Ortega & Curtis Judd

If your audio is great people can forgive medicore video, but if it sounds bad people will turn it off. This episode we are talking with mic and preamp reviewer Curtis Judd (http://learnlightandsound.com) and podcast producer Ray Ortega (https://rayortega.com) the simple secrets to audio production for some common situations. This podcast is brought to you by Epidemic Sound (http://share.epidemicsound.com/stalmanpodcast), where creators can easily license sound effects and music for all your creative projects Audio for social media The priority for quick social media videos like Instagram stories is to keep it simple and sounding great. When you turn on the selfie camera, you‘re off to a great start because the mic is only an arm's length from you face and most phones have decent mics these days. Just be extra careful not make the biggest rookie mistake of covering the mic with your pinkie finger. Stay aware of which direction the mic is facing since phones have mics on the front, back and bottom. If you are pointing it away from you, your voice will get a lot quieter. If this is a situation, you often find yourself in, there are external mics that can help with that. Portable mics for phones Rode Video Me (https://amzn.to/2VWliRg) Shure MV88 (https://amzn.to/2FKCWBU) Audio for Vloging Similiar to a phone selfie, the vlog format has the instant advtage of mic proximity. As long as you’ve plugged in a half decent mic, set the levels, and put on appropriate wind protection, it’s easy to get great audio. With this format, background noise isn’t a huge problem since it blends in with the overall context of the story you‘re telling. What matters most is that you can be heard clearly. Mics for vlogging Rode Video Micro (https://amzn.to/2Ta81mc) Rode VideoMic Pro+ (https://amzn.to/2W1BTTU) Deity V-Mic D3 Pro (https://amzn.to/2W1QdLY) Audio in a YouTuber Studio If people are going to be watching your videos on TV, laptops or with headphones you owe it to them to keep the audio as clean as possible. When they are focused on you‘re talking head, details like echo and background noise start to matter more. So after you’ve taken the first steps of turning off the AC and unplugging the fridge (TIP: put your keys inside as a way to remember to plug it back in), it’s time to treat the room for reverb. In real life, reverb is easy to ignore. Put a decent mic in a room and every echo is a distraction.  There are a few simple and affordable solutions, best of all is to drape sound blankets in front of any hard reflective surfaces. This will make the single biggest difference, ever more than you‘re choice in microphone. And speaking of microphones the gold standard is Sennheiser MKH416 (https://amzn.to/2FL0F56), which now used by top YouTubers like MKBHD and Johnathan Morrison, but if $1,000 is out of your budget the Deity S-Mic 2 (https://amzn.to/2CuBgsY) is incredibly similar for a fraction of the price. A favorite of Ray and Curtis is the AudioTechnica AT4053B (https://amzn.to/2CudEov). Once you’ve picked out your mic, choose a field recorder and plug it in. For the budget minded, the Tascam DR-60DII (https://amzn.to/2DjGZUe) is a great choice or if you want to go straight for the best pick up the SoundDevices MixPre-3 (https://amzn.to/2VYap1v). And make sure you get some good Sound Blankets (https://www.vocalboothtogo.com/shop-soundproofing-curtains-mobile-vocal-booths-accessories/) YouTube Studio mics and premps Rode VideoMic Pro+ (https://amzn.to/2W1BTTU) SoundDevices MixPre-3 (https://amzn.to/2VYap1v) or MixPre-6 (https://amzn.to/2DmaZPn) Sennheiser MKH416 (https://amzn.to/2FL0F56) Rode NTG-1 (https://amzn.to/2sBqTPC) or NTG-2 (https://amzn.to/2SXOju8) Deity S-Mic 2 (https://amzn.to/2CuBgsY) Tascam DR-70D (https://amzn.to/2ATAtSt) Tascam DR-60DII (https://amzn.to/2DjGZUe) Zoom F4 (https://amzn.to/2sCzbH2) Zoom H6 (https://amzn.to/2W5vWWa) Zoom F8N (https://amzn.to/2szNEDq) AudioTechnica AT4053B (https://amzn.to/2CudEov) Podcasting & Voice Over All the rules of in studio videos apply, but your audience is listening a lot more closely so the pressure is on to make your audio production sound amazing. Ray Ortega (https://thepodcastersstudio.com/gear/) has a great writeup on all your gear needs, but the basics are that you want decent mic that rejects background sounds, a low noise preamp and an echo free room. Sounds blankets are your best friend here, so you might want to build a little fort, or at least make sure you’ve got some furniture and carpets in the room.  There are many great mics to choose from, for beginners the AudioTechnica ATR-2100 (https://amzn.to/2MjbJHN) sounds shockingly good for it’s price and can be plugged in via USB or XLR. If you want to step up your game, Tyler likes the Heil PR-40 (https://amzn.to/2VZGzK5) while Ray uses the Shure SM7B (https://amzn.to/2sA3JZV). Podcast mics and preamps Shure SM7B (https://amzn.to/2sA3JZV) Heil PR-40 (https://amzn.to/2VZGzK5) AudioTechnica ATR-2100 (https://amzn.to/2MjbJHN) Samsun Q2U (https://amzn.to/2FIrarK) DBX-286s (https://amzn.to/2T3jRi7) FocusRite 2i2 (https://amzn.to/2T3k7xB) SoundDevices MixPre-3 (https://amzn.to/2VYap1v) Producer’s Choice Sound Blankets (http://vocalboothtogo.com) Post Production Less is often more in post production, but it is critical get the volume of your sound to match everyone else's. The easiest way is to run your final mix trough the free software Auphonic (http://auphonic.com) or if you're using Adobe Audtion, use it's match loudness feature. If you have background noise to cleanup, the absolute best is iZotope RX (https://www.izotope.com/en/products/repair-and-edit/rx.html). Special Guests: Curtis Judd and Ray Ortega.

The Fundamentals of Buying a Camera, with Camera Store TV Chris Niccolls

Choosing a camera is not only hard because there are a ton of options out there, there’s also a ton of GREAT options. All the big camera manufacturers are making great products but they still have specific strengths and weaknesses depending on what your photographic needs are. 

To dive into this in extreme detail I sat down with Chris Niccolls from The Camera Store (http://www.thecamerastore.com) in Calgary, or as you probably know him, host of The Camera Store TV (https://www.youtube.com/thecamerastoretv). I’m pretty familiar with the cameras I own, but TCSTV put every camera through serious real world tests, so I always look to their opinion before I buy a new camera. Entry Budget If you’re moving up from a phone to camera for the first time you probably don’t want to spend too much until you figure out if this hobby is going to last or not. A few years back it was easy to spot the lower image quality from a cheaper camera, but thats no longer the case. A few hundred bucks can buy most of the image quality you would find in the gear pros use. As you spend more the difference of image quality starts to be smaller, and lot of what you’re paying for is improved usability, for example autofocus and ergonomics. 

But if you buy the Nikon D3400, Canon T6i or Sony A6000 you can take photos that no one will know aren’t coming out of a $10,000 system. 
Compact Cameras Smart phones have sucked all the air out of the room for smaller format cameras, but they still have their place. If a big camera feels like too much of burden, you can still get a slight quality boost over your phone with little pocket size cameras like the Panasonic ZS100, Canon G5X or Sony RX100 IV. Because of their small sensor size, they can more easily offer a bigger zoom range that’s harder to achieve with larger sensor cameras, great video quality, image stabilization and raw support. Micro Four Thirds This in-between sensor size has really come in to it’s own lately, with minimal trade offs in quality and huge advantages in cost and camera size. The only things you’re really giving up are extreme low light performance (although that’s changing with the Panasonic GH5S) and you’ll have a harder time getting bokelicious blurry backgrounds. Check out the Panasonic GH5, Olympus or Fuji XT20 to name only a few of this versatile format. APS-C A lot of people look down on any sensor that is smaller than full frame, but don’t forget that many hollywood films are shot on almost example this size of sensor/film, but the cinema version is Super35, which is obviously a way cooler name. In this category image quality is getting close to the plateau, with tons of dynamic range, impressive low light performance and a more affordable selection of lenses than it’s bigger brother, full frame. Some cameras to look at are the Canon 80D, Nikon D500 and Sony A6500, which have different strengths but will all make your photography look professional. Full Frame 35mm is most commonly used format for professionals of all time. This is the size of the film you used growing up, it what most of the top of the line lenses are optimized for, and I promise you will love shooting on it. You’ll notice a bump in quality from APS-C when you compare dynamic range and low light noise, but let’s be honest. You probably want it to get a sexy blur in the background. Every brand has an affordable way to get started, just a buy a 50mm from Canon, Nikon, Sony, or whatever brand you go with and open that aperture wide. If sharp critical focus is important to you try a long lens, like the venerable 70-200mm. 

I have a lot to say about camera in this range, since that’s typically what I buy, but for now I will just direct you to the Canon 5D IV, Nikon D850, Sony A7RIII and Leica M10. You can get lost all day researching these beautiful machines. That’s it You’ve got your work ahead of you! I just pointed you in a few directions, but now the fun part is scoring the internet for reviews, samples, and tests to find exactly the right match for you. I strongly recommend DPReview for their incredibly in depth camera reviews, and for lenses go to ImagingResource where they do really helpful comparisons. Special Guest: Chris Niccolls.

Bonus: Star Wars - The Force Awakens

We were raised by Star Wars. Many of us were also raised by parents, but to our recollection, it was Star Wars first and foremost. You’re probably a lot like us. Maybe you are part of our generation, young enough to approach the films without any cynicism. You were obliged (forced) to improvise a lightsaber to duel with, making your own sounds- The best one we ever came up with was made of a flashlight and some cellophane. You reenacted scenes, you role-played the characters in your backyard before that was a thing you were allowed to do at conventions. You might have even been blown away by finally seeing the letter-boxed editions of the tapes, catching that frog-lizard dude just on the left of the frame on the way to Jabba’s palace. Tyler can’t remember first watching Star wars, only the feeling of having watched it for the 20th time, over and over on those VHS tapes. Imagine Tyler as a child, still somehow a beardy photographer, tucked away in a cozy cabin in the woods, staring at a tiny department store-brand television, preparing himself to be a Jedi. Rob had some dubs- Illegal Beta dubs, or maybe taped off the TV? Movies took decades to hit the small screen, as far as he remembers. Rob did catch Return of the Jedi in the theatre, already so very familiar with the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, but too young to realize what was waiting for him on the big screen. Despite graduating film school, and being a supposed cynical artist, Return of the Jedi remains one of his favourite films, a narrative and visual aha moment. For people like us particularly, but for all ages of unabashed fans of the Galaxy Far, Far Away, the news a sequel to Star Wars was coming was secretly what we’d been hoping for all along. The theatrical rerelease of the original trilogy was fun (Technically Han didn’t shoot first, because Greedo never shot, so, Han just shot. Bad Han!), and the news of the prequel films was exciting (Rob was not auditioned for Anakin), but not exactly what you’d been wishing for. You’d probably made some foray into the extended universe, role playing games that quantified the speed of the Millennium Falcon and the size of Star Destroyers, endless comics about what Han was doing on a Thursday night between New Hope and Empire (being awesome with Chewie), and trawling the early internet for blog posts about a guy who knew a guy. With huge expectations on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, making the movie would have been daunting. We imagine JJ Abrams pooping his pants a little, as we all collectively, metaphorically, folded our arms and said “Oh yeah?”. This is a movie which was required, in some respects, to win back our trust from “those prequels”, but at the same time fit in with them. We needed to meet old friends, but also meet new heroes to cheer for, and new bad guys to boo at. We wanted to return home, and yet be surprised. The Force Awakens seemed to walk that line. In this podcast, we’ll discuss our new heroes, and how quickly we got to like them (pretty quickly). We’ll discuss our new villains, and particularly Kylo Ren and all of his fun-to-watch internal conflict, as well as how he compares to Darth Vader. We spend some time talking about potential character development, potential character backgrounds, and possible secrets- as well as which fan theories don’t matter (Rob even asserts we don’t care if Rey is related to another important Jedi). We break down the mirrored storyline form A New Hope, and its hits and occasional misses (Yeah, okay, it’s MUCH bigger than the Death Star, we’ll allow it.), as well as the characters in their new roles as echoes of the original trilogy. If you don’t have an hour, We’re both very satisfied with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It has a familiar feel, both narratively and visually to the original trilogy, it seems to have heart and yet not take itself too dangerously seriously. Then, after recording a whole hour diving into our thoughts on the movie, we had a little more to say about predictions, other reviews and reactions to Episode VII in real life.
