Feedback Needed I'm always on the lookout for feedback!

[Drakhen99]

If anyone has a few minutes and wants to watch my videos, I have 2 that I'm especially proud of. The first is my LiveWire test ride video, and the second is my moto vlog setup video.

I would love it if someone more knowledgeable than myself could watch a couple of my videos and give me some pointers to increase my production quality, engagement, subs, views, any way to grow my channel really.

LiveWire Test Ride:

Moto Vlog Setup (Half helmet, with audio tests)

Mods, if I did something wrong, let me know

Enjoy!

Just watching the audio set up vid, I think you are doing quite well considering the mic is so exposed. I tried doing an open face setup a while back and it was an utter fail, so I know you must have put some serious testing time to get what you managed. Sadly in the UK if I rode around at 30-40mph on the roads I ride, I'd have a tailback of very frustrated cars behind me probably so a full face helmet with mic in the chin piece is the only option for me.
I loved the PIP in the cardboard cutout at the start. That was really nifty, especially as it stayed in place when you angled and moved the cardboard
Just gonna watch the other vid now....

My one bit of feedback, is that the audio sounded good, but the music was really loud compared to your voice. I ended up having to go back and forth on the audio controls. That can turn people off, if you normalize the audio so it is easy to just watch without the music being much louder than you talking.

Thanks for that! I played around with the music track volume and thought it was OK, but upon further review, it does sound a bit loud... I'll keep that in mind for the future videos I'm working on!

Thanks - yeah, we have a great mix of roads around here, anywhere from 25 to 65mph speed limits. I try to pick the slower roads (Like I said in another thread) so my audio is clearer, and they tend to be twistier anyway, which adds to the video.

Found the mic placement vid interesting. I am about to start motovlogging ( when I can get back to `Florida) and ride a Road Glide, I wear a half helmet and was thinking I am going to have to get a full face to do audio clearly. Looks like that’s not true
I will be using a GoPro Max (no audio jack) so gonna have to use a seperate audio recorder but that’s my next hurdle to cross, but well done

Audio vid is good mate, and yeah you've clearly done some serious testing prior to deciding on final product. Quite a talented post edit too with little touches like the cardboard ipad type thing.

Will check out live wire in a bit.

I recorded on my phone from my SENA mic, but the audio was terrible. Just a word of caution. I suggest getting a Tascam or something similar to do the audio, and then just do 2 or 3 claps in front of the camera to sync up in post.

Thanks! Yeah, the placard idea was a challenge for myself, and I think it succeeded.

Thanks!

I have several videos ready to post to YT, I'm just spacing them out. In the mean time, I had to put off winterizing my Vulcan 800 Bobber, so I may do some audio tests on that and add them to the newest Audio Test video. My Harley is in for service and it's gonna be there at least a week, so I got out my 800 to ride in the mean time.
