Can i just hold the microphone with the trrs cable & pass it to my talent?

@jorgenjohnsson9084 Год назад

Actually using a Deity D3 and I am very happy with it. 😁

After days of watching so many related videos (lights, mics, stands, audio etc), I've found your video, where you explain the parts needed and how to set up - in one video! Many thanks!

@bobbyspeaker 3 года назад

I ordered both the stand and the cable from the links in the description. The stand was not the stand pictured in the video and was for holding a deflector screen, and the cable was not a TRRS cable. Thought I'd give y'all and Deity a heads up to update the links in the description for those still referencing this video. Had to return both.

@bretp21 2 года назад

As mentioned by someone else, I purchased the boom stand from the link and it’s actually different than the one used in the video. It has clips for a reflector, not a screw mount for the mic. I purchased it and sat on it for a while and noticed too late to return. Please change the link so others don’t deal with the same issue. Appreciate the video though. It’s very helpful.

@dominikhaberstock 3 года назад

Quick lighting tip: if you use a Long fixture like in this example, or (Quasar Tubes, Kinos etz.) don't put them vertical, a lightsource that is wider will usually result in a softer and more pleasing image than a tall one. But of course this video is about audio. and that sounds surprisingly good for such low cost. This might be my go to setup if clients ask me to set up a permanent solution for them.

@christianhotter 3 года назад

Nice walkthrough! I got the D-XLR adapter to use my V-Mic with an H4N recorder and XLR cables. If you've already covered this setup, I may have missed it. The phantom power requirements depending on what gear we are using can be a bit confusing.

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Always us +48V if you are using the D-XLR adapter. It converts the 48V to 3V using some electronics we added to the D-XLR. That 3V power is whats triggering your V-Mic to wake up.

@KipJackson 3 года назад

@kungfukennypictures 3 года назад

Great video. Why the TRS cable though and not TRRS? I have the D3 and since it comes with a TRRS cable, I thought I had to use only TRRS cables with it.

@mattaustad7009 3 года назад

#mailbag - I hope I am asking this correctly - When recording multiple people at one time, is it possible and/or better/worse to record separate audio tracks for post-production purposes? I recently purchased the Tascam 60D Mark II. My thought was that even though there would be bleed over, I would have one mic on voice and maybe a separate mic focused on guitar or a second person signing (something like that) I thought I would later take the individual track and tweak each one in post based on the priority of its purpose, then mix them together. I discovered that plugging in both channels 1 and 2 on the Tascam records on the same track. Do I need a different devise or am I thinking about this all wrong?

@codylander 3 года назад

I recently got a set up similar to this. In my local video production store the audio salesmen recommended I run my shotgun mic(rode videomic pro+) to my audio recorder(zoomh5) with a 3.5trs-xlr cable then use the “line out” on the h5 with a 3.5trs to my camera. I’m getting a ton of noise/hissing and cannot seem to get rid of it even after adjusting the h5 line out to -30db and Gh5 to -12 in camera. His point was the preamp in the h5 is better then my Panasonic Gh5. Can you shed some light on pros/cons of running to a audio recorder before camera? Also any tips to avoid the noise/hiss? #mailbag

@gbwalther3198 2 года назад

I happen to have a question for which I can't find an answer at this late date. I wrote to Zoom Corporation, however, they won't be able to respond until next Monday at the earliest. Unfortunately, I didn't think of this serious question until too late. I'm planning on driving to an archaeological site today, June 25th for a two day shoot. I have the Deity D3 Pro Microphone (with the XLR adapter) and also the Sennheiser MKE 400. Both of them have as I'm certain you know internal battery power. So if I want to use either of them for field recording (with NO camera input), just mic to Zoom F3, what do I do about the phantom power setting on the Zoom F3. Do I leave the power off on the mic and set the Zoom F3 input setting on Mic (+48)? What about the power on the Deity D3 Pro Microphone? Do I leave it OFF or Turn it ON? Or what??? Any advice will be most appreciated. Thanks, GB

#MAILBAG - What is audio compression? How does an audio compressor work? When and how to use it in post? Really liked your eq video and your demo really helped me understand. Was hoping you can make a video similar but for compression and go over the different settings: attack, release, threshold etc.

@Robert-nk4ep 3 года назад

#mailbag when in a situation where you can’t control room reflections, how much more effective is a lav mic than a short shotgun for creating a ‘natural’ voice tone.

@stevenchristides 3 года назад

In that situation, your best bet would probably be the shotgun mic since it can reject off axis sound and thus minimize the reflections in your recording. Something that a lav mic, (assuming it's omnidirectional) won't do.

hello there! I am having a hard time figuring out audio, I am all over youtube and google but still cannot figure out if I can somehow put a Deity S Mic 2 mounted on my camera and if I need a mixer or if I can just use an xlr to aux cable and plug that directly into my canon dslr? I would love the advice of the community here!

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

You need a mixer. You can't plug XLR mics directly into your camera.

Can you please share (record ?) an example on how to connect D3 V-mic to an audio interface. When I try to connect D3 to Focusrite 2i2, I have to slightly unplug the mic connection (TRS or TRRS) to get the sound. I tried D-XLR, but it had the same problem. Mic works great with Sony A7R4, regular sound card via TRS. It looks like TR(R)S->TS is the root of the problem.

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад
