Learn how to record, mix, and edit voice and audio for content creators, with affordable, professional setups, microphone selection, on-location recording, and studio sound treatment.
Adjust playback speed and video quality to match your learning pace and bandwidth; enable captions or auto transcripts for sound-off viewing, and leave a review to help others and creators.
Discover why using dedicated microphones improves clarity over camera or cell phone audio, compare levels, room echo, and the benefits of lav mics and adapters for starter setups.
Discover three paths to record audio for content: built-in or headset mics on devices, usb and xlr interfaces for higher control, and separate field recorders with auto-sync options.
Explore cardioid microphones and condensers for content creation, noting front-rejection and rear-avoidance, how distance to the mic affects tone, pop screens, and room reflections, with placement tips.
Assess shotgun microphones for voice work by considering directionality and room acoustics, test mic placement and angles, and rent models to find the best option before buying.
Explore dynamic microphones, including the Shure SM7B and the SM58 beta, their proximity-based sound, the need for preamp boosts, and boosters like CloudLifter to reduce noise for radio-style voice recording.
Explore lavalier microphones for hands-free recording; they hear omnidirectionally. Place them away from the neck to avoid muffled sound, and consider wind, post-processing, adapters, and phantom power safety.
Learn to capture clear outside audio with lav or shotgun mics, protect against wind using dead cats or blimps, and tape the mic under clothing for stability.
Discover how mixing and post production impact voice quality, learn when to process audio, and explore minimal and advanced techniques using a live mic and video editing software.
Record clean audio from a lav mic into the camera, then import into DaVinci Resolve for post-production. Use Fairlight, noise reduction, compression, and de-essing to achieve clear, even voice levels.
Explore the differences between compression and limiting, learn how threshold and ratio shape voice dynamics, and apply make-up gain, attack, release, gate, and expander in Da Vinci Fairlight.
Shape your voice with built-in equalization in DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight, using a high-pass filter and selective band adjustments to reduce boxy tones and improve intelligibility.
Unlock all in one plug ins for voice in Da Vinci Fairlight, mastering compression, limiting, noise reduction, and rumble, while exploring excite, depop, and vocal rider for broadcast dialogue.
Learn the basics of digital audio workstations by importing, editing, mixing, and exporting voice recordings. Explore popular DAWs across Mac and PC, including Logic Audio, GarageBand, Reaper, and Audacity.
Learn to set up Logic Pro for audio editing, import mono or stereo files, adjust gain, apply compression and deep breath processing, and export a 48 kHz WAV for video.
Explore GarageBand as a digital audio workstation, learning to record voice, import audio, apply EQ, noise gate, and plugins, and export wav for video projects.
Explore the Reaper workstation, import audio into projects, and apply built-in effects such as a compressor with pre comp, knee size, auto release, and automation, then render a stereo wav.
Explore Audacity, a free digital audio workstation with built-in effects and intuitive editing. Learn to import, edit, and export polished audio with compression, noise reduction, and plugins.
Position your desk in the middle of the room or facing a corner to manage reflections from walls, floor, windows, and ceiling. Test your sound with headphones and speakers, evaluate absorption, diffusion, and bass traps, and adjust placement and treatment rather than buying costly gear.
Record and edit your voice with a polished mix that sounds fantastic, saving you time and money on gear and helping you deliver professional, credible audio.
