I used a sennheiser wireless mic plugged into the camera. I'm fairly new to editing.. i usually just shoot and leave the editing to my cousin. Would turning the gain down help with the clipping? Or what kind of things can be done to avoid this?
Y'know what...I'd love a quick rundown on sound too. To be honest, whenever I shoot, I just monitor and turn it up and down until it sounds okay. I have no idea why or what I'm actually doing when it comes to sound recording.
IIRC, David you shoot on a MKII correct? The MKII is capable of manual recording which you can turn on in the settings. Monitor the audio on the graph and just visually check that the maximum volume thats going to be captured doesnt "blow out" so to speak and that static noise (perhaps highway noise) isn't registering on the low end. The MKIIs automatic setting does a decent job but it gets wonky when you use aftermarket mics such as lavs because lavs are so sensitive in a 360 degree spectrum. Shotguns are a lot easier to modulate I find.
When you start getting more serious you can get a Zoom system. From this you get much more control on whats too much or too little and it'll also allow you to monitor the sound via headphones so you know you're getting it right.
I myself don't typically use a mic system unless its just a basic Rode Videomic. But for the most part thats the basics of audio on our little DSLRs
Oh man I had no idea the mk2 had manual recording. I will start monitoring using the graph from now on if I'm recording straight to the camera.
I'm just use to using the h4n for sound recording and monitoring. It's so much easier when you can just plug some headphones in and listen to what your sound will... Sound like. Posted via RS Mobile
If you're like me and you only have 256GB of HD space on your laptop, need some more HD space to edit video and traditional platter HDs are sloooooow... (30MB/s over USB3.0).
Get a SSD, plug it into a external enclosure and boom...

Yep turn the gain down. You can also throw the audio in audacity (free sound editor) and run some effects on it to make it sound better.

Recording with the built-in mic usually results in a lot of echo and noises from the camera. I bought a Tascam DR-05 and it works great. I just mount it with a cold-shoe adapter to the top of the camera.
Nicely done. Just be careful when you use the time stretch option in After Effects (based on the slow motion spin, I'm merely assuming that's what you were using ). Slowing it down too much does funky things as it tries to create new frames.
