Thread: Has anyone made a decent video of your gear?

    Default Has anyone made a decent video of your gear?

    Hi all,

    I attempted to make a video of the Alphason and Toshy combo today with decent sound quality. I Connected a phono jack to phono jack cable from the Headphone socket on the Creek headphone amp to the mic input on the camera, a Nikon DSLR 5300. The image was HD as one would expect but the sound is so bad its criminal. Its really hissing badly.

    Anyone got any ideas other than editing the sound separately which is nothing but aggro.

    It must be me... maybe... but I don't even want to see photos never mind a video! It strikes me as being as sensible and relevant as recording the sound of an art gallery! carry on....

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I also don't see the point of it, I mean I'm going to listen to it through the speakers on a Lenovo laptop. They're surprisingly good in the same way as Farm Foods sausage rolls are surprisingly good - in that they are not as totally rank as you thought they might be, but are still totally rank.

    How about doing a commentary instead, talk about the kit? I always watch those videos that start with a commentary and a walk around all the kit up until the point where they put music on and then I switch it off.

    Well, he point wouldnt be to demonstrate the sound! lol

    I like to see a video of something i am interested in purchasing and also as its a slightly unusual combo there is no Info available about how one could fit an Alphason/Linn to an SME arm board. I thought the project had been quite interesting and the results were worth sharing. And whats wrong with showing it in its full glory with a record playing!

    You would need an XLR Box mate. DSLR mini jack has AGC which causes major problems. an xlr box will fix that by overriding it

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    seems to me yyou need to adjust levels at one end or the other. A mic feed isn't the same level as a line level from an amp - I guess. Can you reduce the sensitivity of the mic input? Or control the level of the output from the amp?
