This video is a theory video. I talk about how various decibel measurement systems work. This video won’t be as fun as some of the hands-on stuff that I teac…

you sir, are simply awesome.
Thank you for putting this out there…very helpful.
Please keep sharing such great knowledge of yours.
The best tutorial and the best teacher I have ever seen. So thorough …
That’s very good. Well done!
So since there is no way to convert between the analog measurements and the
digital measurements, how can I measure the decibels that are coming out of
my speakers? Would you need a dB meter of some sort?
This video was out of this world!!! Are you sure you’re not an alien??? lol
Seriously, though… Very useful stuff! Thanks a lot!!! Cheers.
Love it. But who else would catch that reference?
Yes, exactly. I have one, I totally forgot about that. I should have done a
demo in the video. Maybe good for one of the later videos.
only you and i so far lol
This videos helps A LOT!! thank you!! It matters everything is car audio.

THANK YOU! Now I know my DAW uses dBFS I used to try to compare analog vs
digital, and never understood why my DAW scale was measuring -∞ dB to 0dB.
I know that interview audio wasn’t the topic of the video, but could you
please tell me what lapel mic setup you’re using? I’m doing a gaming talk
show with a friend, and need to capture our voices without much room sound.
Thanks in advance for any info you may offer. I appreciate it.
Real great presentation…have worked on major films & you rock!
thanks for the video,do u set a limiter ? compressor? low cut?
I was wondering if I can use a cheaper recorder like this one
anyone knows?

I have the Zoom H2 and the problem with that one is that audio gets out of
sync after a while. It’s only a few milliseconds but noticeable. To me it
seems like a problem with the analog-to-digital conversion, somehow it
doesn’t get the timing completely right. It doesn’t happen with my Native
Instruments audio interface.
Yellow Tape… did i miss the explanation what it was for ?
So that’s why that clappy board thing is used in film making…. Wow, I
never knew that!
I would like to thank you for your videos. I have a dream to make my own
movies – I am working on several scripts right now – got a camera and hope
to get the basic terminology, ideas and basic knowledge. Thank you for
your time and energy making these videos for those of us who cannot go to
film school. HUGE THUMBS UP. I didn’t plan on this chapter in my life – I
am a pro-pilot by trade. So it’s not easy to go back to school for this
stuff now that I am nearing 40 and am married and have two kids. You seem
like a nice guy – and you are a really good teacher. Thanks man- I will be
watching all your videos (this is my second)
I just bought myself a 60D as well. Having a hard time finding the right
microphone, plus i already bought one, and it sucks
Great tutorial!
your male and female are backwards
you look like johnny depp
Great video Dicasa, ill be checking your videos! what camera are you using
on this video?
Man, I just shot the first of a 5 part series on how I do audio for DSLR.
I’m going to finish editing/posting my videos, and then I’ll come back and
watch this all the way through to see how much of this we do the same way.
Looking forward to watching – and using Batman is hilarious and genius!!!
Nice!
I don’t like that boom mic, I get better audio with my Audio Technica 875r
plugged into my H4n. Cool video though
these filmmaking 101 videos are great
FYI decibels aren’t just used to measure sound.
Used a Marantz recorder in Uni. Can’t afford that motherfucker, but I’d
totally go for that one, great sound quality. Zoom seems cool for the
price.
really useful and great tutorial thank you very much. i was wanting a
suggestion from you. i want a mic to hold and interview people at
conventions and such. i can use a voice recorder and just layer that audio
and sync it with the video or… maybe you can suggest a similar equipment
for me to use. just to hold and ask questions like an interviewer at shows.
then i’ll layer the video over it. what is a good quality one? i have a
cheap sony one
does it come with the usb cable?
You just earned yourself a subscriber! Great video!
Mr. Dicasa,
You Must continue these types of tutorials. Whether its the Zoom H4n of
what-ever. You are a natural. Some of these tutorials on here are literally
a waste of time, I want to die. Keep up the good work? PS. After watching 5
Zoom H4n tutorials I learned zero. I am now set thanks to you!
can i use two lapel mic and one shotgun mic at the same time in my zoom
h4n? thank you :)
Holy baloney this is the greatest video ever. Thanks a bunch for the clear
instructions and laid back approach. I wish you the best and am looking
forward to using your tips to make awesome stuff.
and seriously, awesome instructing
God..man…….How did you get sich clean audio…I turn to the maximum of
my speaker….i don’t even heard a single noise..????
With a deep voice…
which software did you use…….????
