Coming to you from David Manning, this excellent video tutorial details six tips to improve the quality of the audio in your video work. You do not need to be an audio expert to produce good sound, but having some basic knowledge about the fundamentals can make a huge difference. As you will notice, a lot of getting good audio comes down to getting a good signal at the point of capture, which generally means maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio, meaning the difference between the audio you want to capture and everything else. This is why getting the mic as close as possible to the source of the audio is crucial. Of course, the trick is to do so without the mic being in the shot, which is something that takes a bit of practice and savvy. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Manning.
