G'Day team,
I have been messing around with Experiment #2, and recording some video and audio for it.
The results.....well not spectacular.
Essentially all I had done, was place a Rode directional mic in front of my little practice amp and run a cable back to the connection on my Canon 5D.
What I got in terms of audio, was overblown and even on clean settings, seemed to overwhelm the little Rode Mic.
I had set it on a floor stand, probably 30cm/1" from the amp, I wasn't pumping high volume but i'm thinking it is designed for directional audio probably at a greater distance than 30cm from source so perhaps that's my starting point.
I know there is a whole science and methodology behind all of this, where does one start?
- What factors would you start looking at?
- Should I be looking at better equipment Mic wise?
- In terms of recording, is Garageband a valid choice (seeing as I already have it) or do I invest in something more robust?
- Where does one fit the electrodes?
Is there a YT feed anyone can recommend that runs through stuff like this? Any good, useful advice appreciated!
