Microphone Noise

[tommyfarmer]

Hi Everyone

When i record with my Canon DSLR for my vlogs, there's a tiny bit of noise in the background which is noticeable when i don't have music in the background. What is the best way to get rid of the noise?

Thanks

There is a program called Audacity, it is completely free. You can open the audio file in it and use noise reduction to get rid of the "white noise" in the background.

you can remove some of it in editing but its still going to be noticeable and it will mess with your voice alittle
Best bet it to get a dslr microphone you can plug in.....Still waiting on mine to arrive and i dont wanna record a video without it ever since i tested one out

Thanks for the reply, I'll try Audacity and see how it sounds. What would you recommend on dslr microphones?

Out of interest Tommy, are you recording vlogs using the in-built microphone?

Yes, I think the camera is a canon 600D

Id say dont cheap out on a dslr mic, Ive bought two cheap mount mics and their terrible, then got a lav mic for cheap too and that was terrible as well
Im going for the rode video mic pro, Yet to see a better mic for cheaper

I'm looking into buying this for my 700D looks to be the best for it's price and for it's ease of use (plug and play).

Background music can hide some unwanted noises. However, your best bet is to use an external microphone or an audio recorder. The Zoom H1, for example, is incredibly cheap and offers pretty good quality. Or you can attach something like the Rode Videomic Pro to the top of your camera.
