Thanks Gus. As a musician I really appreciate the simple "custom" set up you laid out here, so we can share the particulars of guitar work, quickly, with fellow musicians, using the onboard mic, customized for that sound. Again, thanks!

Much appreciated! Just purchased a Canon XA11, and trying to get used to the settings.

Hello Gus, I’ve just purchased the XA11, however one feature my old 2008 model Sony (that I thought I’d miss) is a built in remote control feature. In fact, I knew I’d miss a remote- so I did considerable research and found a post where a person had used a Lanparte LANC wireless controller, (LANC-02) and claimed it worked well with the XA11. This is available on line for $59.00. I solved the problem of connecting the receiver to the camcorder buy fashioning a piece of plastic round just slightly larger than 15/16 diameter x 1 1/4 inches, and tapped a hole in the middle to hold the threaded piece that the receiver attaches to. Of course the receiver then plugs into the remote jack. Since I’m using the shoe to attach my RODE mic, the piece attaches nicely to the mic holder. Just wanted to make you aware of this feature in case you want to mention it in one of your videos. Thanks for all you do! Michael

@dragondreamjln 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your video! I wonder if you could use a zoom recorder to record audio. I’ve used it in field recording before and it is effective. I guess you can just attach an xlr cable and carry the zoom around

@GusDaCosta 5 лет назад

You should be able to plug into the 3.5mm port (red) and get audio from it, make sure the handle is off, and go through the audio settings menu.

@cornerstonechurchnewcastle7588 4 года назад

Hi Gus, we've tried to plug in our rode videomicro mic into the XA11 with the handle off but the audio still isn't captured. Please help.

@playz1234 3 года назад

Yes, very frustrating trying to connect some mics to the Mic input of the XA 11, as I discovered. I also discovered that a) the mic switch on the handle must first be set to OFF before making a connection so that the camera switches from the internal mic to the mic input. But the biggest thing most people miss is that b) the mic connected to the Mic input must be a “commercially available condenser microphone with THEIR OWN POWER SUPPLY“ (page 76 in the manual). So just plugging in a Lavalier mic directly doesn’t work. B&H Photo does list the Rode Wireless Go system as being compatible though.

How do you get rid of low background "white noise" when getting sound from a sound board using XLR out to 1/8th" in on camera?

@KellyNickellphoenixfilms 11 месяцев назад

Hi Gus...I'd love to see if you can help me solve something. I'm a middle school film teacher who is lucky enough to have two of these cameras. However, whenever I try to hook up a rode mic with a 3.5 mm cable, the sound that is collected is full of static and barely audible. I have tried using a brand new (condensed and powered) Rode mic on both of them, and 3 years ago tried a different type of Rode mic with them. I am choosing mic in the functions, powering the mic on, and this should be simple. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong? The input switch is off. I posted to the Canon forum yesterday and they shared your video with me.

Question! What to do if your 3.5 mm inline mic is not producing audio? Is this a setting issue? Thank you so much Gus for all your tips...Very helpful. I am not familiar w/ this camera, as I use a Sony but recently started engaging this camera and your tips are so appreciated -- YOUR THE BEST!

@andtotheRepublicfor 4 года назад

I have the same problem with a videomicgo so I bought a xlr adapter to 3.5mm mic from Amazon and this works great (when operating make sure you don't switch to 48v phantom). I have a feeling the voltage is incorrect at the 3.5mm jack or the rode has a different voltage threshold to operate.. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HF6PY9V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi , My XA11 is not taking the audio signal from the Mic connected to the Microphone input slot (Red) on the right side. I am using a BOYA BY-MM1 on-camera microphone. Why is it so ? The Audio level indicator appears nil when i connect the external mic to the Side audio jack (RED). I contacted canon. They told me to select Audio input 2 to INT/MIC. But its not working. There are no video tutorials explaining how to do it. Please help if u know.

@gak0090 2 года назад

Hi Gus- Great video! Looking to get a video camera to record my daughter's bands she's in. The main question I have is if while recording, are the audio VU meters always active in the frame, so that I can adjust levels on the fly? I'm hoping that I can keep those meters available all of the time while recording- vs needing to go through a menu to bring them up temporarily. thanks again!

@MSGRetired 3 года назад

To use the 3.5 mic jack does the microphone need to be powered ? I just picked up an XA11 and tried my Rode Video Micro and No audio ? Great Videos BTW .. I live just out side of Worcester as well so I enjoy your video content of the area.

Hey Gus, I am connecting an audio source (music from a sound desk) via the mic input jack. By setting the input levels as recommended in the manual (-18db) the volume through my headphones is way too low to monitor. I have the headphones volume on max but when I adjust the input volume it also alters my headphone level. Is there a way to stop this and have my headphones level much higher without raising my input levels? Thanks.

@GusDaCosta 4 года назад

QLF Productions id say yes, but depends how many mics you are trying to capture, if you have more than 2 xlr mics, you will still need an external recorder.

@QLFProductions 4 года назад

Gus DaCosta I see you like to use the nt3 with the XA11. Is this only for a one person interview? What do you do for external audio say at a wedding?

@marcelobezerra5045 3 года назад

Great video! is there some way on XA11 to disable the built-in MIC and use only the mic connected to the red "MIC in" input of the camera? I only have 1 microphone, and using the combination of internal+mic is giving me problems and noises that are coming from the environment, being recorded by the internal microphone.

@playz1234 3 года назад

Turn OFF the mic on/off switch in the Input 1 & 2 area, THEN plug a powered condenser mic into the Mic input. That switches the terminal to an external mic instead of the built in mic.

@rswchoi 5 лет назад

Hi Gus, Thank you for the audio review. I'm still a bit stuck on my settings and wonder if you have any ideas. I have plugged in an external mic at Ch1 and when using std settings, it ended up as a mono audio coming from my left earphone only. When I switched it to speech setting, there is a loud noise that's being captured. I tested many different combination of functions and it seems I need to plug in 2 external mic with std setting in order for me to play sounds on both left and right earphones and limited noise from background. Any ideas what I can do with the settings?

@GusDaCosta 5 лет назад

Rhoda Choi you have a couple of options, you can either fill the other side of the audio in post (if you are using more than 1 mic) or you can fill the other side by changing in camera setting to channel 1/2. This way you record to both sides in camera (if you are using only one mic). What software do you use to edit?
