Basic Audio Techniques for Video: Selecting the Right Shotgun Mic 

I bought my AT-815b in 1998 and still use it! Longer shotgun mic used for countless recordings! I even record vocal tracks in my living room with it up close - no fridge noise, no ambient noise, no nothing (except I can't record on days when the garbage trucks are outside, but hey). I love my AT-815b!

Sound examples would’ve been helpful

i use Goxlr mixer , how much gain need at897 to avoid clipping? and how far distance put mic for best resalts in close room for content creator ?

Great education

Why the bp4073 shotgun is for indoor use if the at4053b is better to use indoor actjally. Why confusing advice

Hello there I would like to record my son playing in an orchestra, usually in a hall. Would need to work with an iPhone. What would be a good choice, thanks.

what would you recommend for picking up the wedding ceremony with the officiant and the couple? I use a wireless handheld on a stand - very basic. Most DJs use that. I also have an optional Lav mic for upgrade. I know there has to be better options out there. This seems like a nice option - but pretty expensive for me. Some ceremonies are outdoors - some indoors. Any suggestions from the community are appreciated.

Great info. What would you recommend for indoor dialogue on a indie film production? Thanks.

I'm a little confused with my AT897 in testing it to say an XLR-to-3.5mm input (ie: in a pinch when I don't use my field recorder). It seems that the results into the camera is the same with or without a AA battery. There's still audio (quiet as to be expected) but seemingly no difference if it has a battery in it or not, and tried several different AA batteries just to make sure the one in the packaging wasn't dead. Edit: Though I can verify it has an impact with a field recorder (ie: Tascam DR60d Mk2), without the battery and without phantom power, there's no audio at all, with battery and no phantom power there's audio, and vice versa. It's just odd that with or without the battery is the same result via a XLR-to-3.5mm input direct to a camera such as the GH5 (there's audio even without the battery).

which one is better between directional and uniderectional in doing movies and interview

What mic for video camera would be good for recording live music (like piano,Orchestra)?

Is overhead the best placement , or would from the side at mouth level be okay as well ? Also with the AT8035 , how much may the speaker move side to side without compromising the sound ? Thanks !

i believe, and hope, you guys have a mic(s) shotgun . . (so ive heard), under $3OO, that will cover a 2nd soprano girl voice or "higher" . . and another a shotgun that will capture an alto/tenor or "lower" female-male voice!

Hi i am doing wildlife film making. want to record bird sounds. which shotgun microphone should i buy. Budget is 300$. Please give your suggestion. I am going to use shotgun microphone with my gh5s.
