Do You Process Your Audio To Clean It Up?

Here is a 10 second clip of the audio.

Sounds pretty good, i can hear you clearly and there has to be some noise from your bike and around, it still is a motovlog

I'm new her and at the moment i don't have a mic connected to my Gopro, i have ordered a set from China, i don't think it Will be good quality but i would give it a try, when i recieved it i will share my thoughts about it

What camera did you get? What mic?

 

[2WDutch]

I'm not sure superballs if your question is relay to my latest post.

My camera is a Gopro silver 4,
The mic i have ordered is a mini estudio speech mic (in other words, a cheap ass China thing) it Will arrive in a couple of days.
I have already the connector from usb to 3.5 jack.

I just lowering the sound to -16, you can hear me talk but the wind noise is way softer

I was thinking of trying my setup with the recording lowered to "low" setting just to avoid the odd clip here and there and the increasing the gain if need be. My only worry comes from signal to noise ratio.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that a lot of the noise we get isn't wiND directly hitting the mic but wind noise on the helmet surface being transferred to the mic from the helmet.

Cheek pad setups and my setup alike will be very susceptible to this as the mic is pressed against the shell of the helmet.

yup, I leave my mic head not touching anything as best I can. My bike is noisy though so that may be drowning out any wind noise. When I run with my GoPro Hero 5 Session as a bike mounted camera I do get a bit of a whistle from it but not much comes through over the noise of the bike and that is located without any foam or fur over it's mics on the very front of the bike so I think you are right to believe the noise is not wind noise as such, but the noise of wind on your helmet.

I've had a similar experience, my visor caused a whistling noise on my footage. Was easy to fix, but took me days of hunting the noise down. It was caused by my visor not sealing perfectly against the helmet.

I'm going to look into a thin pad of foam to stick to my chin bar but I need to be careful as I'm now working with limited space. Having my mic almost literally shoved into my mouth isn't exactly ideal either
