ABSTRACT

The popularity of HDSLRs, GoPros and other compact video cameras come with a new surge of interest in audio recording. Since many of these cameras record meager audio at best, it’s become common to go the extra mile and record audio on another device such as a portable recorder or computer. With new gear comes new questions and this renewed focus on audio may have a few people scratching their heads about proper audio levels, monitoring and mixing. Good audio practices are important whether you use professional editing software or just record audio for YouTube.
