I have always heard about folks using PAD (Passive Attenuation Device) to help cope with the auto Gain Control on Consumer (AGC) gear. The AGC on my Sony CX560 is not too bad in terms of when I am speaking or starting or stopping – but it does pump up the background noise during silent periods. I get around this with the Final Cut Pro noise filter. I wondered if an ATT-488 XLR PAD would help. I could not find any videos showing an ATT-488 PAD used with a consumer camcorder – so I made one.
PAD: ATT-448
Shotgun Microphone:
Microphone Stand:
Camcorder Sony CX-560 (a classic)
Simple conclusion – you don’t see videos about PADs because they make things worse. They do defeat the AGC – but then other noise in the audio path is more apparent. And the noise that comes in when using the pad is *worse* and harder to filter out. So – bye bye PAD.
You might try the Izotope software RX Elements which is a light version of their expensive software processing sound and noise reducer – including a lot of other midules… Very often proposed at a discount price (Unfortunately, not right now…)
Sounds like it ain't broke, Dr. Severance. Sakai is better than Teams. Durham Tech (NC) uses Sakai. Wake Tech uses Teams. Me no love it, yo. After I'm done futzing with edX, I'll be haunting you on P4E. That's the post.
Sir I am a very big fan of you. I know about you from online journals and lastly from edx python for everybody. I want to do enterprunership on electronic engineering and computer science. Currently I am a high school student and this year my school will end. Please suggest me the best university in USA for this subject and how can I admit there with scholarship. And thanks a lot for the edx class sir.
