HI Brandon,

Sounds good to me. I do hear the voice pulled slightly to the left. Does it sound like that to you?

Hello Peter,

Sorry for your woes.

The only other thing I can think of is a freshly formatted card.

I ran into a similar situation a few years ago and was told that I should reformat the SD card before each shoot. Also, there are counterfeit SD cards on the market. If the prices seems too good to be true, it might be counterfeit.

PS: Oh, Audacity opens raw audio files. I wonder if you tried that. I was sent some files to see if I cold open them several years ago from a Google employee. He recorded meetings on his cell phone so he didn’t have to take notes. In THAT case, Audacity could see the files. You problem is different, but at this point why not try. Audacity is a free download.

Hello Peter and welcome to the Cow Audio Audio Forum.

Does the file show in the Zoom F8?

Have you tried Wave Agent? Will it see the file?

Hi Brandon,

Thanks so much for dropping in with some great info and a lovely clip. Do you find that your setup has enough gain to make even dynamic lavs sound good?

Brandon,

Excellent! I’m glad you’re up to the curve. I used it earlier this year to clean up 114 hours of stereo audio from lectures given in the 1970s. The clients were impressed. BTW, the mouth de-clicker and de-popper are also dope.

Happy Trails,

Hello Adam and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sounds like a butt call recording on a cell phone.

Hi Gary,

Gear:

The hum. Can you point me to a url that demonstrates the hum?

Your camera audio input is stereo. Using a mono mic to a regular 1/8″ TRS may cause hum.

Does your camera have an audio AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and if so, can it be set to OFF? ALC (Automatic Level Control) is similar. I’m just now reading that the DMW-XLR1 for this camera has that. You’ll want that turned off. These can bring up background noise especially during moments between words or sentences.

here’s a video that addresses two simple audio problems for your camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmprpRxePzU

Mics:

A shotgun mic is not what you want if you are shooting most indoors. Instead, you’ll want a hyper or super cardioid. What’s you budget for the mic?

I’m not convinced that your camera can not be recorded to properly. Not ready top give up on a simpler solution. You DO need to monitor with headphones during shooting at all times. You just do.

Ty Ford

Hello Gary and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Can you please explain Video Essay Format?

Where will you be shooting. What’s the acoustical environment?

You may be able to use something simple like an AT8024.

https://tyfordaudiovideo.blogspot.com/2017/07/audio-technica-at8024-good-things-in.html

But you may have to gear up to something more serious.

Please give us more info….

Hello Brandon and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I know exactly what you mean. Add gain reduction and water fountains rise and inhales sound asthmatic.

iZotope’s RX7 noise reduction has worked well for me, running inside Pro Tools.

You could always rent a two-channel DNS-2 and loop the audio though that and back to a couple of tracks. They are easy and awesome.
