Recording sound via XLR cable



Here is a relatively affordable and high quality way to record sound for your independent movie. You will need.

1) XLR adapter/camera that comes with an XLR connection
2) XLR cables
3) microphone with XLR connection
4) Firewire cable/firewire card
5) capturing software (Sony Vegas, Avid, Final Cut)

Here's what you do:
1) Plug the XLR cable into the camera.
2) Plug the XLR cable into your microphone
3) Plug your firewire cable from your camera to your computer
4) Open the capturing software
5) Select the appropriate settings and press record
6) Hold up a thin cloth in front of the microphone to act as a "pop" filter.
5) Hit record on the capture software and you'll be able to record audio from XLR cable via firewire without getting "pops" in your track.

A "pop" is a "puff" sound in the audio recording. Normally you'll hear it when you pronounce the "p"s
