    Hi Sam, one issue I'm having is that I record with a Panasonic camcorder but record sound independently with a Zoom H1N. I get a lot of audio drift when matching the two. I have tried syncing, making a multi cam clip with original camcorder audio and the H1N audio to try and sync but to no avail. Do you have any suggestions to either overcome this or get quality sound when using my camcorder for interviews (from a distance where cables may not be my option)?

    • @samueljwalter
      @samueljwalter Před 2 měsíci

      I think I might know your issue. Do you know both the frame rate of your clip and the sample rate of your recording? To avoid audio drift, you will want your sample rate to be closely divisible by your frame rate. So for example, if you shoot at 24fps, you will want to set your external recorder to a sample rate of 48, or as close to it as you can get. Assuming that is the case, you can mostly fix audio already recorded in the incorrect sample rate by first perfectly aligning them at the beginning clip, then going to the end of the clip and either slowing down/speeding up the audio so that it matches the length of the video. A rate stretch over a long period of time should not be that noticeable. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but hopefully that helps!

    Great vid ! How do you apply the limiter on more than one clip ?

  • @Sol-In-Seoul
    @Sol-In-Seoul Před 4 měsíci

    FCP is completely stupid, because if you now automate your volume curve on the clip, it does this POST limiter instead of PRE limiter (which any normal person would want).

    Sam, do you have any other places online where you are producing content? Even if it is for clients. I just want to check out your work. I have a feeling you are doing great stuff. Pretty please.

  • @TesLatino
    @TesLatino Před 5 měsíci

    You know... this is why I don't think I will ever stop going back to basics. After a long time I found myself just feeling good about the audio levels of my content again and this video (which I am sure I saw a couple of years ago also) brought me back to the basics. We adopt bad practices without noticing sometimes. Some people think only big channels can help, but this clearly shows we are all in this together. Thank you Sam. I don't know why you don't have more content. This was and still is great.

    Thanks for this tutorial! Can You tell me how You record sound from Mac? Are You using application for routing audio?

    • @samueljwalter
      @samueljwalter Před 6 měsíci

      Hey thank you for watching! It’s been a while since I made this, but I believe I just exported the sound from each stage of the tutorial and synced it up whenever I played it. Could be wrong, but I believe OBS is now capable of capturing Mac desktop audio. Not sure though tbh

  • @DeliRevv
    @DeliRevv Před 6 měsíci

    You, sir, are a life saver! Last night, I was conducting a video deposition over Zoom and unfortunately the doctor’s audio was lower than the attorneys. Since this is going to trial in 5 days, I was having a small panic attack until I tried your method which has worked a charm. Thank you so much!

    It seems that with 1 camera or multiple cameras, impeccable timing wins the day. Of course 1 camera is easier on the budget rentals, but rapid-fire dialogue or repartee shot live with multiple cameras to a live mix on the fly or livestream with ISOs should be easier to get to a final product with less editing time. Both have merits to stay in budget.

  • @worldwidewallace
    @worldwidewallace Před 7 měsíci

    This is a great tutorial. Still seeing FCPX videos where the audio in the actual video is not that great... this is 3 years old but still much better than all the other recommendations and plugins

  • @TheFujiwuji
    @TheFujiwuji Před 7 měsíci

    I'm totally confused. My FCP project audio runs hotter than suggested here (high green, but not yellow or red), yet when I do an output and make an .mp4 the audio seems too quiet. And what is strange is when I upload the .mp4 to CZcams, my video plays quieter than other videos, so I'm worried that my audience will have to raise the volume to a high level just to hear the audio. This whole output audio process is maddening because I never know what is a good level for my videos, and how to output them correctly so the audio is normal.

  • @e.zbabytv8574
    @e.zbabytv8574 Před 8 měsíci

    Does this tool also boost up quiet parts of the audio to what you set the gain to?

    Wow this is great. I've avoided the limiter because I didn't understand how to use it. Now I do and like the results.

  • @FatihVideographer
    @FatihVideographer Před rokem

    Hi! As far as I know the recommended db for music is around -18 but I this limiter won't allow me to lower the volume below -10db. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

  • @EngineerDJ_Julius
    @EngineerDJ_Julius Před rokem

    thanks. I never want to film from one angle because its such an amateur move

  • @robvezpro
    @robvezpro Před rokem

    Quick note here : If you follow his method for youtube video, your video will be too quiet. Actually if I right click your video and check stats for nerds, we see that you video is -5.1db under. You should aim at -1.5 output level maximum. More than that is not necessery (for youtube).

  • @incargeek
    @incargeek Před rokem

    The trouble is that angles where the presenter is talking, but not looking at the camera, but way past it, totally suck.

    • @samueljwalter
      @samueljwalter Před rokem

      Thank you! Totally forgot to mention this, but make sure you record your audio externally and sync it, or at least find a way to keep the mic close to you for all takes. If the audio comes from The camera, it will sound far away when you move the camera. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

  • @PontiusTheBarbarian

    Great video however I am having a strange issue with my mic audio and the limiter....it doesn't seem to want to work for my mic audio. My gameplay will stop at 0db as advertised, but my mic audio will go over the threshold. I had to raise my mic gain pretty high but even with gain at 0 it still goes over the limit. Help.

    • @samueljwalter
      @samueljwalter Před rokem

      How did you go about raising the mic level? For example, if you used the audio control bar on the clip, that is the last adjustment applied in the chain, which would explain why it’s going over the limit. You would effectively be limiting it to 0db, then applying gain after that, sending it over. Let me know if this is what is going on, otherwise we can troubleshoot some other things.
