Tip 1: How to increase the sound of a microphone
One of the most common problems novice video lovers - the lack of quality Sound. Blown by wind, strong level of external noise, insufficient sensitivity Microphone... There are many reasons for explaining a bad sound. One of them is the low volume level when recording in the device itself. For example, in a video camera.
You will need
- camcorder, microphone, batteries, computer
Instructions
1
Check the battery charge. If the microphone has autonomous power (several "finger" batteries) and still writes quietly, it is possible that the batteries are dead. They need to be replaced with new ones. If the microphone is powered by the camcorder's battery, recharge it.
2
Get wind protection if you plan to shootOutdoors. If this is not possible, then choose to take a place protected from the wind (wall, trees, stand with your back to the wind) or shoot indoors.
3
Before you start shooting, check the levelrecording in the device itself (video camera). Find this item in the settings menu. If you are going to shoot outdoors - safely put the maximum level of recording. The number of external natural noises (cars, wind noise, people's voices) usually requires this.
Tip 2: How to add sound to the microphone
The microphone is designed to convert sound energy into the electrical analogue of the signal without lossthe slightest useful information in the ideal. Therefore, microphones for a normal sound quality level should produce an electrical signal that will exceed its noise level with minimal distortion, and for a particular sound source, they must react in a similar manner to a useful spectrum of audio frequencies along with the associated devices. Therefore, it is important to use this device its volume.
Instructions
1
Go to the engineering menu of the microphone. Select the Audio item in this menu, three modes are available (normal - basic mode of operation, loudspeaker - "public" mode, headphones - mode of operation via headset).
2
Select a mode that does not suit you. For example, in normal mode, because most users in everyday life choose it.
3
Go to the Normal / Microphone menu / selectthe desired volume level. Typically, five to seven volume levels are available. These items in the menu determine the signal strength at different settings of the overall volume of the phone itself, which can be adjusted with the volume keys. By changing the values in each of these items, you can fully customize the phone to your own requirements.
4
Guided by the basic principle for this"The higher the volume of the speakers, the lower the sensitivity of the microphone." So if the street is noisy - the volume of the speaker is higher to hear the interlocutor, but lower the sensitivity of the microphone to reduce the transmission of external noise. And, conversely, in a quiet room with a weak sound of the speaker, you can increase the sensitivity of the microphone, so you do not have to raise your voice, thereby ensuring a normal quality transfer.
5
Click the "Install" command. Remember that the excessive sensitivity of the microphone most often leads to an echo effect, and the interlocutor will hear himself, so do not get carried away and rush from extreme to extreme, maximizing the sensitivity of the microphone.
6
If after all these procedures the faults remain and the sound does not improve, contact a specialist or the service center of the manufacturer of this product.
Tip 3: How to increase the sound of a recording
Most often as an external signal sourceA microphone is used to record on a computer. It can be embedded in any peripheral device (for example, in a camera), or connected directly to the microphone input. The Windows operating system has several components that allow you to change the level of the input signal from the microphone and thereby increase or decrease the recording volume.
Instructions
1
Open the "Control Panel" usingcorresponding reference in the main Windows menu, opened by clicking on the "Start" button. If you are using the XP version of this operating system, then select "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the "Panels", and when it starts - go to the contents of the "Audio" tab. In the drop-down list of the "Audio Recording" section, you need to select the default device, and then click the "Volume" button.
2
In the "Microphone" section, set the desired value using the slider and close the window by clicking on the OK button. Click the same button in the other two open windows.
3
If you are using Windows 7, then in the Panelmanagement need to look for another link - "Sound." Click on it, and a window opens, in which you should be interested in the "Record" tab. On this tab there is a list of devices connected to the computer that have built-in microphones (headset, camera, etc.), as well as microphone inputs. Select the device whose recording you want to make louder, and then click the "Properties" button below the list of devices.
4
On the Levels tab of the window that opens, select the values you need and click OK. Press OK in the other two open windows.
5
Another way to increase the recording volumeprovides a sound card driver. Its icon should be in the tray on the taskbar - double click on it to access the sound settings. The device of this component depends on the sound card used. If it's Realtek HD, then go to the "Microphone" tab and set the correct settings for the spatial orientation of the microphone and noise reduction. Then, on the "Mixer" tab, expand the drop-down list in the "Recording" section, select the desired device and adjust the level of the microphone input signal.
