Sound for Video Session: ADR, dB, SPL, Cables, and Adverse Conditions
In our Sound for Video Session this week, we discussed several thoughtful questions:
- What are all the different dB scales and how do you just measure how loud sound is?
- Which cables do I need to connect all my microphones, wireless, and recorders?
- What are some tips for when you’re recording in very hot, very cold, or very humid conditions?
And here are the links we discussed in the session:

https://youtu.be/n6C6yzt2Hgc As you might guess, this is a question that almost everyone asks when getting started with sound for video and film. It isn't the sexiest subject, but it was time. I hope this helps those of you that are scratching your heads, trying to figure out which mic you need to begin your audio journey.
In this episode we cover the different types of microphone plugs and power so that you can find a combination that will work for you. We’re not covering specific mics and cameras and recorders, but teaching you the various types of plugs and power so that you can find a combination that works for you.
