In this episode of Sound 101, Andrew takes us through all the essential tips for recording wedding audio. These audio tips for wedding filmmakers will teach you how to record a wedding and ensure that you have usable audio that captures vows and cheers and everything else! Wedding videographer tips usually cover the visual side of the production but recording audio at a wedding can be tricky, despite being very important.
Andrew shows us how to mic a groom, how to mic an officiant, how to mic a bride, and how to record audio at a wedding reception. Wedding ceremony audio is usually easier than wedding reception audio but they both present difficult aspects. Wedding audio setup doesn't have to be the hardest part of your day.

Fantastic video! As wedding DJ/MC, let’s have a chat the week before the wedding to make sure I know how you need to plug into my system. XLR, 1/4”, mono, stereo, etc. The day of you’ll then have everything you need to make sure you capture it all!

@Rickydbaby 3 месяца назад

I've been using the xlr output of the speaker right into my zoom h1 mic in on full auto level. Seems to work great.

@JBearwa 3 года назад

This is FANTASTIC info!! Can you add the links to the items used. Like straps, ursa foamies and minimounts, tape used etc.

@DanteBland Год назад

Thank you!

@ramymelhem 2 года назад

Great video. Quick question: my H4N has not been recording through the 1/2 inputs at the bottom. Neither the XLR nor the 1/4 inch cables have worked. The XY mics on the top though are fine. I've adjusted my input levels and even had the DJ try to adjust his levels and I still get no signal. Any ideas as to what the issue may be? I used the RCA out, headphone jack output, and the XLR output on the soundboard and nothing registers.

@Phalaibert Месяц назад

Thanks a lot

@anyuisbjoern 2 года назад

What kind of limiter do you use? And how do you set the input levels? Can you get more detailed on it?

@njbestvideo5977 Год назад

Well done...

@lighthackerslimited 3 года назад

Damn.. now need to redo my wedding 18 years since we did it the 1st time.. Then with bad audio! SERIOUS QUESTION ANDREW!!! Can I trade in my 2 x BPTX units for your new BPTRX units? I LOVE how my HDTX records iso as well as transmits, so would be SO GOOD for a trade-up scheme for your connect customers. Due to the 1 year long lockdown here in the UK, my kit hasn't been used.. EVER ! So is mint as the day it arrived?

@lisadietrich8958 2 года назад

Do you have a good recommendation for those that are doing a budget friendly wedding? Something that might be able to be used with their phone or something budget friendly for a recorder?

@martinsadedamola Год назад

THANKS FOR THIS...How do you do this if timecode is a necessity for your wedding film? also, dresses now are quite tight on the brides and will bulge out if placed on the tigh of the bride. Do you have a solution for this?

@Justin_Allen 3 года назад

One note. Many DJ's either do not allow for "photography" vendors to patch into their mixer, or want to charge the vendor / bride extra money to allow for it. This is more common as DJ's are now moving into the video side of the wedding business as well.

@BrandonLuckain 3 года назад

those DJ's are lame.

@itsaaronmiller 3 года назад

I’ve never had this happen. That’s whack

@diceflawless9115 2 года назад

Pro hack. After the ceremony, take the mic from the groom, turn the limiter all the way down and hang the mic over the reception speaker. Works everytime for me.

@pulotu_ 2 года назад

this is true, I've seen many DJ's now making videos as well & they don't like it when photography vendors use their equipments.

@ramymelhem 2 года назад

I've never had a DJ say no to me (I hope I didn't jist jinx it). If it did then id call the couple over and have him explain to them why not. If he still says no, then that big speaker might accidentally get knocked over.

@mygconsultingyou 3 года назад

Great info! Can you do a follow up on how sync/use all the different recordings?

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Hey. We did a video about that a while back. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RUD0njwgsBM.html

2 года назад

Dear deity are there any plans to add 32bit float and dual AD converters to the transmitters for the internal recording ? That would be soooo failsafe, or are there internal limiters?

@madlovellc 2 года назад

Would love to see how we can hook up each person and get signal through a speaker as well? Is that possible?

@DJBessVA 11 месяцев назад

Any tops for not losing connection between the lav mic and transmitter? I placed a lav transmitter under a grooms jacket AND vest. They were standing about 60 feet away and instantly noticed that my bars dropped down to 1. I knew we werent going to get any sound and I was correct. Luckily we had a handheld for the officiant that was used as a backup. The sytem was a Shure SLXD4.

@Rickydbaby 3 месяца назад

when you have the grrom perform a test to set audio levels, what levels do you like to see on the peaking -6, -12... or do you leave the recorder on auto level?

@LEVIJmusic 4 месяца назад

I'm a wedding DJ considering using Deity Mics for Ceremony Audio. Do you have content or video about this? Thank you!!

@haihoisua 3 года назад

Great tip & trick for audio backup at the wedding party! Btw, I have a question: instead of using output RCA (or output A in the term of using mixer Zoom like in your video), can we use the Headphone Output to record audio into our handy recorder (Zoom H4, H5, Tascam)? Headphone Output is it Line Level?!

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Headphone out is a "line level" of sorts. It too is an amplified signal which will be greater than 1 Volt. So if you do this method (and I've done it before in hard times) making sure the headphone knob is fairly low is key and making sure my recorder has plenty of safe headroom incase of a audio spike.

@studiotherapie1400 3 года назад

Hello guys, i try to use my DPA4060 with the BA35 adapter with the wireless system but i got a huge amount of electrical/interference noise. I tried to connect the microphone with the adapter in a zoom h1n recorder and it work really great until a get close with a BP X receiver turn on... do you have any idea where the problem could come from ?

@BrandonLuckain 3 года назад

Any idea on availability of the BP-TRX? Way to tease! Deity connect kit sold on on your site as well :(

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Connects are coming back and the BP-TRX is very very soon. We are filming the promo material as we speak.

@christophermacgregor3668 3 года назад

Thanks. Great tips. Social and safety protocols are more important that ever. If appropriate, I’ll ask the wired talent to give me a walking shimmy once rigged with a lav. Best wishes, stay safe. C

@hebronumcindiana3017 2 года назад

Now how do you assemble all of this in post?

@deltalima5806 Год назад

It is CRUCIAL to avoid being dragged into any issues like this that you specify to the client ahead of time at the consultation "you are hiring me to do the video, I will add my own LAV mics to the bride, groom, and officiator to capture all of the necessary conversation for MY Video. I am in no way responsible for the speakers, live sound nor do I exchange gear with the DJ and his/her system. Of course, if you provide the DJ and or sound you can have more control over that, but be VERY sure they KNOW that your audio is for your video only. This has saved me heartache. Also, if you have control over the whole system, it can be much easier obviously. Just remember when customers see a microphone, they think loud speaker. They don't think video dialogue feed.

Are those TRX synced to the Deity Connect Receiver? Or is this something different?

We used to say the breakfast thing for checking levels but few people always gets confused why the hell I'm asking this they just freeze and not saying anything, nowadays just asking something about they had lav mic before, is it first interview or something higher success rate and usually longer answer so I have time to fiddle with the levels

@sonicytb 8 месяцев назад

I lost the entire reception recording with the BP TRX. the unit froze if recording more than one hour. although it was fixed through firmware but I can never trust it for longer recording again. btw, the lav came with it was defect and the seller refused to resolve the issue for me. they got me send the bad lav back but never returned back to me.

@codybriner 2 года назад

From my personal experience putting a mic on the bride never works. Once the bride and groom hold hands you can typically get the brides audio off of the grooms mic or house system. Just food for thought when you are a male videographer in female territory
