Less Breathing Noise

[Taz792]

Hey guys,

I've been motovlogging for a while and am having fun with it. I have a chin mounted gopro and external mic into my helmet.

I am using a home-made baffle to keep the wind noise down and that is working awesome. The only problem I am having is that having the mic right at my mouth you hear my heavy breathing

I am wondering what suggestions you guys have to be able to have clear sound and be able to hear me talk normally but not have such loud breathing.

Something I could do with the set up or is there some editing thing I can do? (I'm using sony vegas)

Can you help a brother out?

My microphone is right in front of my mouth too. I have the microphone foam covering the microphone, and I usually have my balaclava on.

Try fiddling around with your sound levels to reduce the "breathing sound". I use FCPX so I can't suggest how to do on Sony Vegas.

Getting rid of it entirely would probably not be possible without effecting your talking part, but at least it's somewhat reduced.

Maybe controlling your breathing or wearing a balaclava might help, I'm not sure, could try and see.

Thanks, that gives me a few things to try.

Point the microphone away from your nose/mouth. It can be in the same place, just not pointing at your noise holes.

noise holes.

Giggle....Yea I know

why is it infront of your mouth?
cant you move it away slightly?

I think that's your problem. Too close to your mouth. I have mine tucked up at the top of my cheek pad almost level with my eye and can still hear every word clearly at speed. Try moving up a bit. Trial and error!!

Trial and error!!

This!

Your mic will pic up your voice where ever you put it within reason. Just where to avoid wind.

Thanks guys. I'll give it a try over the weekend.

For some reason I was thinking the cheek padding would just muffle way too much.

I put the mic in my check pad seems to work fine

My Sony stereo microphone is huge, that's why it has to be front and center. If it isn't pointed upwards near my noise holes then it is pointed downwards to the wind holes, I mean wind noise. So, yeah. #BeLikeVader

I recently moved my mic from right in front of my mouth to buried in my cheek pad and I now don't get any breathing or wind noise when recording with my visor up. When it's closed I just have to be careful not to talk to loud otherwise it gets a little muffled.

I sample all the heavy breathing from motovlogs and make a sound scape to listen to when im in the "mood"
