@@k-theory8604 since it's a field mic, there might be settings for a noise gate, then again, they're generally meant to pick up as much information as possible, so maybe not, which is probably why you're getting so much ambient noise in the first place. The easiest way I know how to fix it would be in post-production in a DAW. All you would have to do would be to look for noise gates in the filters sections of the FX and choose which ever sounds best (you might have to adjust the threshold amount, to make sure you're taking out enough noise and without taking the signal). You want 'soft' here if possible so things don't just harshly cut in and out. Hope that helps! I've been enjoying your series on Sheaves, very helpful for me, so thanks for your work!
@@mcurtisallen Awesome, thanks! I'll give that a shot and try to re-upload. I was hoping to avoid doing as much editing as I used to... Is there any chance this is a hardware issue? Most (all?) of my sheaf theory videos were recorded using the field mic, but it was connected to my laptop with a usb and used at close range. In contrast, the interview I had the field mic connected to a cam corder via a male-to-male headphone jack. Could the connector be the issue?
Could be your set up, but couldn't really say. If it persists for future uses you might want to do a little experiment by eliminating some variables to get a better sense.
soft noise gate is your best friend
Is that something I can just change on the mic? (H5 zoom). Like an adapter? A setting?

Might also just be a setting on the field recorder

Congratulations on successfully defending your Ph.D.! 🎉👏
Small suggestion : get a good chair that don't cry
If universities paid PhD students enough that they could get their own chairs, I'd spend the money on a standing desk 😜
what a great channel
