Well, we find ourselves here once again, at the advent of another momentous occasion that will surely rock the foundations of all society: the birth of another MindBite Insight. In this week's adventure, we scale the seemingly insurmountable information mountain of audio recording. Bad sound deals a death blow to any video production, no matter the financial scale. In this cursory lesson, we traverse the epidermis of the audio recording body and discuss microphone construction and classification, professional recording technique, and common pitfalls in which videographers often find themselves stuck while in production.

So sit back kiddos and enjoy the ride; this one's jam-packed with reverberating goodness.

I am but a mindful haberdasher. My words are stifled and whimsical whilst my thoughts run plenty and strong. I'll give you a hearty handshake if you look me in the eye. Please teach me thorough for I am slow of study. I've shared all I've ever learned, and learned everything from the act of sharing. But please, keep your words small, for I am but a mindful haberdasher...

Great lesson guys. Probably the best Insight yet. One thing you forgot to mention is that everyone should check and see if the camera they are about to buy even has a mic input. Sadly, manufacturers are excluding them on too many consumer-level cameras. One other things that would be great in a future episode would be to actually compare what the audio sounds like using different options in the same situation. Great lesson though. Keep it up!
