This post is a little bit of a rant. If you don’t like to read rants, then stop here unless you like a rant about technology. To begin with the issue I’m having I know is my fault, my responsibility. The company that makes the devise I’m having an issue with has designed and built a devise that does what’s promised.
DJI Mic (1 TX & 1 RX) Wireless Lavalier Microphone
My problem is that I use this mic to record the portions of the Disney Journey with Jim Shull videos. I use a Scarlett 2i2 4h generation mic combined with a Focusrite box to record the voice over portions of my videos, and the issue is the sound quality ‘jumps’ between the two recorded sources.
The system and my drink of choice.
Thankfully the people who watch Disney Journey have called me to task and as a result I spent ‘quality time’ manually adjusting the on screen audio and the voice over audio. Hopefully this should help but this is where my rant starts. All the recorded audio sounds good before I release the episodes. However when I watch the released videos on a television on YouTube that is when I hear the my booming voice on screen combined with the pleasant soothing voice in the voce overs.
The solution to my audio woes?
In the spirit of spending to make Disney Journey better I’ve ordered this. The DJI Mic 3 (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) hoping that a newer bit of technology kit will fix (or at least make) the audio issue better. Aside from the technology purchased I wished companies would share simple video instructions on the level of ‘How to Make Toast”. First buy bread, then put bread in toaster, plug in the toaster and push the lever down. That level of instructions. I don’t need chip generation, or other gobbledygook when I only want to make toast.
Finally I have walked this road before and may again. When working away in my office at Disney Imagineering in the early 1990s a box was delivered that contained the Mac computers that were distributed to Imagineers in WDI Creative. BTW the photo is a later generation of Mac not that it matters. The person who delivered my shiny new computer smiled and wished me luck because I had entered a new world of technology much as I have now.
Wish me luck.
