My audio and video setup for guitar tutorials
Hi ! Let me show you the setup that I use for my guitar tutorials
let's start with... the microphones !
for the voice, I use a boom microphone
it's a SM81 (Shure) but it could be any good microphone
I don't use a shotgun microphone, I prefer to use a good mic that can be also used to record instruments
as I never have to film anything above my head, a boom mic is perfect
when I have to record an acoustic guitar, I put another mic just below (I like KM184 from Neumann)
if it's an electric guitar, I plug the "line out" of my amp, a Fender Superchamp X2, in my audio interface
my audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlette 18i8
I used to have the 2i2 which was great, but I needed more inputs
for video, I used the Panasonic GH5, which is very famous and absolutely amazing
it allows me to film in 4K and therefore to use cropping for the neck of the guitar
the GH5 is expensive, but the G80 and G7 are also very good and cheaper
I use all the manual settings (focus, iso, aperture, shuttter speed, white balance...). It requires some skills but it's by far the best
the camera lens I use is a 12-35mm f2.8 (Lumix)
it allows me to film almost any scene, and the lens and the camera are stabilized
for the lighting I use 2 big Fovitec LED panels, they allow me to choose precisely the color temperature
I also have two little complementary lightings, one for the face and one for the guitar neck
if you want to make videos, you have to know that lighting is extremely important !
I wouldn't say that my lighting is amazing, but I'm working on it ;-)
I do the audio editing in Ableton Live. I could do it in Cubase, ProTools...
Ableton Live is famous, easy to use
then I export the audio and do the video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro
for the backing tracks I use small speaker, connected by wire with an Ipod
the wire (mini jack) is important, because bluetooth would make it very hard to synchronize as the audio speed wouldn't be perfectly constant
and synchronizing would be complicated to do
I hope you like this technical video will help you to make good videos !
if you have any question, please comment this video :-)
