Microphone Accessories to Reduce Wind Noise
Hello and welcome to this video. I just want to show you some outside audio recording tips. So we're out now in a big park. It is a little bit windy and you might be able to hear on the shotgun microphone. Now, some of the wind sound, this can be very distracting. When you're recording a video. You really don't want any wind sound, especially if you're outside. So there's a few different things you can do. So what you can get is some wind noise reduction foam, insert this onto a shotgun mic. It should get rid of some of the wind sound. So let's add this now. So you might be able to hear that it's reduced some of the winds out. If you're having a lot of wind sound, you can get a wind muffler. So it's a lot bigger. It's also called a dead cat. Not really sure why. However, let's attach this now and you might be able to hear the difference and hopefully it will reduce some of the wind sack. If it's really, really windy though, it might not reduce at all. So just be careful and find a good...
location. Maybe that's surrounded by trees or isn't in a really windy location? Ok. Now, I've added the wind muffler you might be able to hear that's reduced some of this wind sound. Remember this is a shotgun mic and if you do want this out of shots, you can keep it further away, but just be careful with the wind sound where you are, maybe not record audio on top of a hill or summer super windy, maybe by the beach. It's not going to get rid of all of the wind sound, but we'll reduce it. You also notice here, I've got a lapel microphone, a Lavalla mic and this has a small wind muffler as well. So you can get these wind mufflers for the small clip on L mics as well. So I just wanted to make this quick video just to give you a comparison of the wind sound with and without any kind of wind reducing foam or even a wind muffler. Another quick thing is if you're recording outside, try and point your microphone the same direction that the wind is traveling, so it will reduce that breeze sound.
