Cyoubx' Guide On Making Review Videos

Snoowball costs 66$ at amazon. I dont think it is cheap. I thought it would be around 20$ to 30$ but 66$ is too much

For the film making business, yes. I thought he was talking about VoiceOvers.

I would tell you to get the snowball mic. Fairly cheap, good quality, overall pretty solid mic.

This mic is less than $3.. $66 is expensive bro.

No, really, it isn't. I'd be willing to bet the snowball mic is way better quality.

I'm not trying to get into an argument with you about quality vs price.

I don't think $66 is a lot of money but some people do. Your post merely pointed out that $400 > $66.

If I buy a $3000 mic that doesn't make your mic cheap, does it?

Everything's relative.

Everything's relative.

Yes, and all the quality of the mics mentioned above is considered low quality compared to a mic that is plugged into an interface with a proper sound card.

hi cyoubx,
what software do you use to record audio and at what settings? Do you have any recommendations for recording audio with the built-in mic of an iMac? Thanks!

I use Audacity to record audio. To prevent peaking, I have the input gain set at 0.1.

Built-in microphones will be okay but they'll sound flat/tinny compared to a dedicated external microphone which sounds much richer.

 

[AmazingCuber]

Thank you for all your replies! I'll try and see if I can get some more out of my built-in mic and try audacity. You'll find out how it went when I launch my youtube channel . . .

What's a YouCuber? Please reply somebody. I have been wondering for like 10 centuries now!

A YouCuber is a cuber that is on YouTube. It's basically a portmantau of YouTube and cuber.

[AmazingCuber]

And what microphone you use LACuber. I subbed to you

Thanks for subbing! I use my cam mic. What I do is that it speak into the mic of the cam (which is quite good) as if it were a mic for voice overs. Then I import the audio in audacity and edit it to reduce the hiss and background noises. Also, I try to make my voice sound better with some editing tools and adjust the tempo of my voice if I thought I spoke to fast/slow. Finally, I export the edited VoiceOver into FCPX in which I edit the whole video.
I hope I could help!

EDIT: This isn't the greatest, but it'll have to do until I get a USB condenser mic.

Also, my Moyu Weilong review is coming out today! stay tuned!

Hey, I'm no Albert, but I can probably help. Short of buying an actual mic, the mic built into stock apple earbuds is actually quite good. It provides clear audio and I know he used that for a while. As for software, I BELIEVE he uses either Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. That being said, since you own a mac I would very much recommend Final Cut Pro. It's extremely fast, very precise, and there isn't much it can't do.

Hey at the end it is written that cyoubx uses Sony Vegas and yes Final Cut Pro is awesome.

 

[Atharv Goel]

I was studying this guide for a review of my shuangren only lol but the mini verison

 

[CriticalCubing]

Well everyone uses different video editors to suit their needs. I use final cut pro x on windows 8. Now guess how

Can anyone show a picture of how they have their camera set up? Is it on a tripod?

It is on tripod. You allow the camera to sit on the tripod while you make your videos I also do that only

plot twist: you don't

Final cut is not compatible with that nasty OS.
