General 2nd Motovlog - I Discuss My Camera / Mic Setup

[CrankyBiker]

Here's number 2! Spent quite a bit of time editing this one b/c I did it through an Adobe Premiere Pro trial so there was a learning curve. I think I'm hooked on Premiere though, so easy to edit once you know the controls. I actually recorded 3 vlogs on Saturday but it'll be a bit before I can edit the other one as I'm going out of town again today. I've got a demo video and just some general mountain riding to edit.

Let me know your thoughts!

Your ride is so smooth! How does your mic not pick up road noise?

I guess it's just the technology built into the sena. When I call people on the phone they have no idea I'm on the bike.

I get "wait, you're on the bike? Now?"

Well, I guess you get what you pay for.

I used an old PC headphone set, like for Skype, and simply ripped out the mic to stuff it in my helmet. It does a great job at capturing my voice... and the engine, and the turn signal indicator beep, and the horns of passerbys... you get the picture.

Very nice!

Do I sound too monotone? I feel like I may be putting people to sleep. I'm not looking to sound like Bob Ross. Ha

Your setup looks and sounds pretty good!! Your voice is very clear but just a little bit quiet - which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just turned the volume up a little!! Safe riding out there brutha!!

I'm playing around with overall volume on my next vlog, which should be out tomorrow. I think I did a better job speaking into the mike b/c the sound volume is a bit high. I've read that in Adobe Premiere Pro you should aim to have your volume peak around -12 (I've lowered it to hit -12 instead of -4) so I'll be curious if you watch the next one what you think.
