camcorder audio quality
Camcorder audio bad, and no microphone outlet? What can I do?
I got what is supposedly a great camcorder for christmas (I didn’t know I was getting one, or I’d have picked one out myself). It is a JVC Enverio and has 60GB of memory, which I love, and the picture is great, but I’m really stressing over the sound quality.
I am a pianist, and had hoped for some decent sound quality so I can record myself practicing and performing. Sound quality is pretty bad; especially the left hand bass. I figured I would just attatch an external microphone to improve sound quality BUT it turns out there is no place to plug in a mic on the camera. It has an AV, a DC, and a USB outlet, but no place for a mic. I don’t know what to do now.
Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Is it possible I could record sound on something else entirely, then overwrite the video’s sound with the better one? I don’t have anything else to record sound on; if I bought something, what would you recommend?
First, check your audio settings. There may be other options there. Second, yos you can record using a different device. Lots of options there. Guitar center has a few options like the M-Adio Micro-track 24/96. I use it periodically to record sounds from the street and nature. Very good quality recording.
