  • 5 Super Simple Ways To Get Better Audio Anywhere
    by The Millennial Entrepreneur Harrison Baron on April 25, 2023 at 7:02 pm

    Are you frustrated with the audio quality of your videos? Do you want to take your audio to the next level without breaking the bank? Look no further! In this video, we'll show you 5 super simple ways to get better audio anywhere. First, consider the environment in which you are recording. Sound waves bounce off hard surfaces, causing reverberation and echo, which can distort and muddy the sound quality. To combat this, put objects in your room that are soft and absorb sound, like couches, sofas, or other materials. These will help reduce the echo and background noise in your recording. Second, consider using sound absorption panels or a moving blanket. These can be placed on the wall behind the camera to absorb sound and prevent reverb, making your audio sound more clear and professional. They are affordable and easy to install, and they can make a big difference in the quality of your recordings. Third, a shaggy carpet can help improve the acoustics of your recording space while also making it more comfortable for you to stand or sit. The texture of the carpet helps to absorb sound waves, reducing echo and reverb. You don't need a fancy studio to get great audio; a simple carpet can go a long way! Fourth, consider changing the location of your recording. If you're recording in a small or enclosed space, the sound waves will bounce off the walls and create an echo. Try moving to a larger room or outside where sound can't reverberate back. This will help you capture more natural and balanced audio without the added echoes of a smaller or more enclosed space. Finally, if you're serious about improving your audio quality, invest in better audio equipment. An XLR microphone like the Rode Podmic or the DJI microphones will help you capture crystal clear audio with little to no background noise. It may seem like a big investment, but a good microphone will last for years and can make a huge difference in the overall quality of your videos. So, those were 5 super simple ways to get better audio anywhere! By following these tips, you'll be able to capture great audio no matter where you are. Let us know in the comments which one you'll be trying out or if you have any other tips for improving audio quality. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more content like this!
