“WHERE INDEPENDENT CREATORS COME FOR CLEAN, CINEMATIC SOUND.”

Five must-have audio tips before you hit record

Presented by It’s Krizi’s Productions. Industry-level sound starts before you ever press record.

Here’s how to prep like a pro:

  1. Choose the Right Mic for the Job
    Why it matters: Every mic has a personality. Condensers catch crisp vocals, dynamics tame loud environments, and lavaliers stay hidden for on-camera work.

Pro Tip: Always test your mic’s pickup pattern-cardioid, omni, or shotgun-based on your setup.

  1. Control the Space, Not Just the Sound
    Why it matters: A great mic in a bad room equals bad audio.

Pro Tip: Use rugs, foam panels, or even blankets to absorb reflections. Quiet your environment before adjusting levels.

  1. Set Levels – Don’t Rely on “Fix It in Post”
    Why it matters: Clipping can’t be repaired.

Pro Tip: Keep vocal peaks between -6dB and -12dB. Always do a soundcheck with real dialogue, not “check one-twos.”

  1. Monitor With Headphones (Always)
    Why it matters: Your ears are your first mix.

Pro Tip: Use closed-back headphones so you catch hums, distortion, and plosives in real time-not after.

  1. Create a Sound Slate or Verbal Cue
    Why it matters: Organization saves editing hours.

Pro Tip: Start with a quick verbal slate (ex: “Scene 1, Take 2, Interior Studio”) to sync audio, organize files, and avoid confusion.

BONUS: Back It Up Immediately. Never leave a session with only one copy of your audio. Use cloud storage, external drives, or both.
