Hi Lauren! Great question. Yes, still the podcasting mic. Since you'll be moving back and forth in/out of the classroom, I'd suggest a small "podcasting" mic like the Blue Snowball. Keep me posted! :)

Related to that question, we have had questions about teaching using a mask... In that event, might a lavaliere microphone will be better because it is picking up sounds from your torso?

@@blahblah4023 Hi John! Great question. I bet a face mask will act as a sort of pop filter, which could make the lavalier (especially more inexpensive ones) sound better by taking down the wind noise/t's/p's. So the lav is a great option for in-class teaching, especially since it allows you to move around the room unlike a standalone mic, which would root you to the desk. The lav mic is also probably a better option in the mask-wearing scenario than, say, a headset with a mic arm, which could hit the mask and in general cause weird interference due to its close proximity to the mask. But for at home "studio" recordings (where I suppose you aren't wearing a mask anyways), the standalone mic is king!

I'm facing a similar hybrid situation next week - my class is very discussion-based and I'm concerned that the personal lav mic I'm feeding into my laptop for the Zoom students won't be sensitive enough to pick up in-class students' questions & comments from 30 feet away. My strategy is to use a second lav mic (I'm limited to the gear I already own and don't have the resources for a proper room mic) placed near the front of the class with both mics feeding into a splitter into a Zoom H1 (for an independent audio recording) into the laptop. It's a little Frankenstein-esque, but I have high hopes.

Dang it is so nice to see recommendations that aren't just "get an XLR mic or go home". Thank you! ❤️ I have a Blue Yeti and it's been a bit of a pain (lots of computer vibrations picked up if on desk, very quiet audio if mounted on an arm) but this video inspired me to keep trying! Would love to see a video on how to effectively monitor your audio - I usually plug headphones into the mic but it feels like everyone else is managing to monitor with levels and such adjusted!
@JulieSchiro

Thanks for another nice comment Emma! 😊 Really appreciate it. Hmmm, in terms of a solution...I wonder why it is so quiet on the arm. One idea is to use something like OBS as an intermediary (you can use this to stream to Zoom and a ton of other platforms) and you can boost the audio volume in the software. I check my levels by recording in OBS and playing back, and once I'm happy, I don't need to monitor with headphones. Keep me posted?

Alternatives for zoom meetings on laptop: 1. For office calls, in Headset type, Jabra Evolve2 40 (~$140) works well. The mic cuts out ambient noise pretty well (including ur kids yelling in the same room). Cheaper alternative with mic noise reduction feature: Logitech H340 headset. 2. Combo of 'Airpods + Lavalier mic': For those who already own airpods.. if not satisfied wt the airpods microphone (muffled sound), club them wt Rode Lavalier/collar mic connected to 3.5mm jack on laptop with airpods connected to same laptop via bluetooth. Within zoom settings, select airpods as speakers and Rode mic as microphone.

First of all, thank you for joining the KZitem community. You are a delightful addition to the usual collection of techies that post about KZitem production. I like that your point of view is more from a cinematography point of view than a gamer point of view, I was wondering how you were such a natural when this is your first post, but I see from your background that you have probably the ideal background to be doing these kind of videos - teaching and film. Good luck and please make more videos, especially on the budget end for teachers trying to keep students interested in the screen after all this time in lockdown. As for the lavalier mic, I picked up one that had an adapter that I found out I needed to use on my desktop computer, but it was included fortunately. I'm lucky I didn't toss it. Always check the packaging for extra cables, lol. Sorry, I don't have a link, I must have picked it up at a sale or maybe when Radio Shack went under. Anyway, you've inspired me to do a video for my own use to see which mic works best for my Teams meetings. Good luck and I like the bloopers at the end. It's always nice to see someone who isn't afraid to show what's behind the curtain.

I was also having similar problem using lav mic on laptops. Later someone told me the jack plug is a hint; When you look at the jack plug on the mic, if there are 3 black rings on it, it is an audio + microphone device, just like those regular 3.5mm hands free earphone we use on smartphone. If there are only two black rings on the jack plug, it would be either an audio only or microphone only device. That may explain why there was the problem when it works with some laptops cuz the on-board system may only supports a combo jack (with sound and voice combined and there is a tiny headset icon next to the port) while the lav mic has no sound output to listen to. A simple fix is to use an external USB sound card for this combo jack, which diverts the signal to audio out (green color port) and microphone (pink color port) Alternatively, use a Bluetooth earbud and choose the speaker output when using Zoom, and choose the on-board audio port output as microphone separately. That looks a bit awkward but it gets the job done at the very least LOL Btw. cant tell this is your first video! You sound and look professional! Keep it going plz!

Hi Julie, I wanted to mention the latest challenge I have experienced on the work from home communications front. My excellent USB condenser microphone was very sensitive and picked up tons of background sound (mostly kids and pets related). During conference calls, I was extremely nervous that my clients or co-workers will hear all the craziness at home. I got a USB headset with a noise-canceling boom microphone. Wow-what a difference, now I can confidently speak on video or voice calls without worrying about external sounds entering the call. The model I got was the "Logitech Zone Wired Noise Cancelling Headset, Certified for Microsoft Teams with Advanced Noise-canceling mic Technology for Open Office environments, USB-C with USB-A Adapter".

It comes down to TRS vs TRRS , totally not worth the hassle go with a usb microphone option. Hey have not seen any recent videos . Keep it up...

7:01 you cannot remove plosive sounds in post! You may be able to dampen them a little, but plosive sounds often clip and/or overlap in frequency with normal speaking, so there’s no way of removing it without degrading the overall sound quality.

You probably already tried, and may know more than me with computers, but I have had a similar issue with my laptop recognizing which mic to use. I had to figure out how to go into the audio section of system settings and choose which input the audio was coming from. Just plugging in the headphones into the 3.5mm jack does not automatically switch mic over.

The lavalier.. Also have the same one. When you plug it in you need to choose that you plugged in a headset and then the microphone works. Just need to choose your speakers in the options then, that worked for me and I love it for that price 😊

An important note is that you do not need an audio interface between an XLR cable and your PC. You can get XLR to USB cables for $>15 on Amazon and they work well for people who may happen to have an XLR mic lying around (you can get good sounding XLR mics for $>30).

Congrats on your first video. It was a delight to watch. About microphones not working on your laptop (and sorry if this was already mentioned), try using a headphone microphone splitter. I find that the mic, even being a trrs port doesn't register as a microphone in some laptops. Best wishes for you and your KZitem channel.
@JulieSchiro
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Mike, thank you for the lovely comment and the help too! The splitter would be if I had two jacks right (one for a mic and one for headphones) or are you saying that this would help with the dual port too? I've since found a TRSS to TRS cable that works for my lavalier (but not for the Bose headphones...nothing has helped those lol - I think it's a unique problem to that headset).
@therayofsunshine

@@JulieSchiro Hi Julie, I meant a y-splitter cable that takes a single headset port (trrs) from the laptop and splits it into two separate ports (trs), one for headphones and one for microphone. Then try plugging the microphone into the microphone end of the y-splitter. (You may still need the trrs/trs adapter). I had to do that with one of my microphones and it worked afterwards.

Your channel has grown so much for a 4-video channel. they are very professional and useful though which is weird why you stopped posting. BTW, you can use your earphones with the laptop, you need to fix some setting or might need an adapter to split the mic and line out. you should also create affiliate amazon account. good luck.

Most laptops and PC's only accept 3.5mm TRS connecters. The lavalier mic you had in your hand had a 3.5mm TRRS connection pin (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve). A TRRS to TRS adapter would fix that problem for you. It's a handy adaptor to have around and they only cost a couple of dollars.

I use an sm7b for work for no other reason than I do a lot of conference presentations and I didn’t pay for it myself, too expensive, I would never had made that purchase for what I do, but I have it and I can tell you it’s great. The point I’m trying to make is not to go buy an sm7b but instead that you should not discount XLR mics entirely. You don’t have to spend a crazy amount to do XLR mics, the røde podmic is a great option and there are plenty of budget interfaces.
