Contrary to what many believe, it is possible to produce great sound to accompany your video, even on a budget! It really comes down to getting a mic close to your mouth somehow. My article and video – Sound For Video: How To Get Good Audio On Your Videos takes you through a couple of good ways to do this.
Below is another take from Premium Beat on some ways to get great audio on your videos.
If you’re making a short film on a shoestring budget with only $100 to spend on audio, they recommend you go with the Audio-Technica ATR-6550 Shotgun Microphone for $68, or the Audio-Technica ATR-3350IS Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Mic with Smartphone Adapter for $30. The beauty of this lavalier mic is that it is wired so that you can connect it to your smart phone and/or camera when recording and producing interviews.
If you have more money to spend, look at the Zoom H4nSP 4-Channel Recorder for $159 and the Rode VideoMic Shotgun Condenser Microphone with Boom Pole and Adaptor for $159. You can’t go wrong with Rode equipment, a well-known player in the film-making industry.
Key Takeaways:
- If you think you can only have great quality sound by busting your audio budget, you are misinformed!
- You can achieve great quality sound with a budget of under $100, starting with Audio-Technica microphones and your smart phone.
- If you have more than $100 to spend, look at Rode equipment, since it’s a very well-respected name in the audio and video recording industry.
