as a sometimes sound recordist on my own projects, I've relied on your tutorial for years. Brushing up again for some reason following your directions does not work. I click up and down but it does not go to easy set up. Any tips? Thanks!
When he went to another group he should have explained that if you are using several of these set-ups all of them need to be in the same group to avoid inter-modulation. That is the purpose of these groups. Also he doesn't really cover what the squelch is actually for which is not the volume of someones voice. The volume of someone's voice would be handheld by the transmitter sensitivity.
For a loud voice, when you say turn the sensitivity down, does that making the dB more negative or more positive (newbie question). Likewise, for a soft voice, do you make the dB number more negative or more positive?
That is a fantastic tutorial!!! Thanks :) I was wondering if by any chance you could help me with an issue I have using the mic with sony a7s m ii? I set it up according to your instructions and still when I start recording an interview before my subject strat to talk I get an increase in sensitivity recording ambient noise. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I had real trouble with this set (ew 100 G3) means when the artist speaks there no noise at all but when paused for the sentence break it captures all the noise even between words. can you help me with the setting so I can limit all the noise out? I admit that we have noise from electrical appliances. I feel the sensitivity of this set as a drawback as compared to the very basic mic. We are using FCP, Canon 5D Mark III, and ew 100 g3.
Now that that's all taken care of, can you suggest the best way to grab that newly recorded/ received sound I'm going to record using only my Samsung galaxy s5 or is it even possible in 2019? Some are saying that the S5 is not suited for ew100 g3. It's hard to know the best thing to do.I'd appreciate your thoughts. You're not that old!
So you said if someone has a loud voice you turn down the sensitivity, right? If the factory default is -30, then -60 is less sensitive? Basically you're turning down your microphone by adjusting to a larger negative number.
I look for this video every time I need to use these mics, which is not often. Which is why I need this video. I finally wrote down the instructions. It seems that a better place for the sensitivity would be on the receiver and NOT the transmitter, no? Assuming you can't stop the shot to walk over to the talent and adjust his transmitter......
Excellent overview! I've had these for many years and just needed a refresher which you provided nicely! Thank YOU - GREAT video and it's 7 years old? Quality lasts! Thumbs UP!
I've owned and used this mic for about ten years now, and it's only luck that has allowed me to get good audio. After watching this video I finally understand how this thing works!! Thanks for the super clear explanation, I really appreciate it!
