Levelator

Recently I’ve been trying to get the volume of the sermon CD to normalize so people don’t have to turn the volume up and down while they are listening to the sermon. It’s too much of a pain to do post-production using Adobe Audion and the church does not have a compressor. Pastor Darrell thinks that purchasing a headset microphone might work – which I’m sure will help – but that costs $300.

A youth pastor friend, Steve, from Grace Foursquare told me about the Levelator. I believe Steve’s brother is into sound engineering. Anyway, I downloaded the Levelator and am testing it right now. Hence, I’m writing this blog while I wait…
I use The Levelator!

Stay tuned for the results.

Dream Video Camera Equipment

I’ve learned how important quality audio is to successful video camera shooting. A still image can be pleasant if there’s good audio. The bottom line is if the audio is bad, everything is bad.

I have the Sony WCS999 Wireless Camcorder Microphone which I purchased for $100 three years ago. You’ll see on Rachel’s web site how the audio did not hold up. Folks are probably turning off their volume to watch the video.

Azden WMS-PRO Wireless Microphone System is recommended for double the price.

However, my real dream is to go with the profession microphone set from the industry powerhorse, the Sennheiser Evolution G2 100 Series Camera Mountable UHF Lavalier Wireless System. Of course, it’s $400. Go figure.
