(read description)dave xs2026-04-26 | I start the ride in -12 Mic gain, the max. Added* in the Zoom H2N recorder at 7.25 minutes. Just the zoom at another point. I then took down the Mic Gain on the mic 2 to -7 for the last riding section, no Zoom. The object is finding the balance between voice, bike sound and wind noise.

Am also using a Zoom H2N recorder, in a rucksack of foam. The Zoom was set to 1 mic gain. I sync them together in edit. The problem I found was at -20 on the lav mic, even maxing out the volume in edit, it was pretty quiet, as will notice. At -12 the volume in edit was still a little low and did not pick up the bike noise, as you can hear. The setting I think for a good balance, in edit, bike noise, voice and no wind, will be from -6 to -10 mic gain. Wind reduction OFF. The audio is RAW, no edit.
As a side issue I have filmed in 2.7 k at 24fps and later on, I go to 60fps. All rendered in 4K and 60fps.

The issues I had with Gopro was audio related when using the expensive media mod. I am a long time Gopro user, but I've had enough of wasting hours footage, due to audio not working. I chucked a few clips on the end...... See you soon with some decent audio and footage.
