I have to disagree with the audio tips portion of this video. Recording as “hot” (not going into red) as possible is an old way if thinking. If you’re running a condenser or dynamic microphone you could record at just about any level and the quality won’t suffer. The reasoning behind recording hot is to keep the “noise” floor down (static white noise caused by circuitry issues). Today’s recording doesn’t suffer from high noise floors anymore (unless your recording from and through analog). You should instead talk about compression. That will insure that your voice remains consistent even when moving away from the microphone. Jus an additional tip from an audio engineer, cheers!

    Agreed. It’s so easy to do a little bit of compression in many programs! While you don’t want to overdo it, people are so used to the sound of compression in professionally produced audio that if anything it tends to sounds more polished/professional.
