So… at long last, I am finally jumping into this podcasting thing. I purchased a Canon 60D Kit<\/a> and have spent the last month trying to get the thing to work the way I want. I’m having a lot of fun and enjoying the images I am taking.<\/p>\n

I’m about to drop some coin on a prosumer tripod<\/a> and fluid head<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course none of this is going to matter much if the audio sux.<\/p>\n

The 60D has an internal mic that is unusable (of course). It has a mic input but I read the camera records terrible sound even from good mics<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As such, I hear that I should purchase a preamp<\/a>. [I LOVE<\/strong> these preamp videos<\/a>. I want to make loads of these – with better audio and video of course!]<\/p>\n

I am confused as to why I need this if I run audio through the Zoom H4n<\/a> (like the preamp link above shows in the section: Zoom H4n Dual-System Audio with Camera<\/em>). Am I really spending $200+ just so I can monitor audio through headphones? If so, can’t I simply purchase a “Y” headphone adapter?<\/p>\n

And that’s just the recording side! What mics should I use to capture interviews inside an office? I plan to have the subjects 6-12 feet from the camera and separated by about 2-4 feet from each other. Do I want lavalier mics<\/a>? And if so, should they be wireless?<\/p>\n

I feel so very out of my depth :{ Any help given is be greatly appreciated. There must be hundreds of people like me out there wishing for answers to these questions.<\/p>\n

Onto lighting. That shouldn’t be too hard right…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
