The BEST Microphone for Cooking Videos

Tips on How to Record with VM10 PRO

Some YouTubers or vloggers want to share their cooking process on social

media platforms but don't know how to start. What's more, there are

frequently a lot of issues during shooting, such as not knowing where to

set the mic, capturing too much ambient sound, etc. To help you know

how to record and capture subtle sounds with the VM10PRO, we've made

a tutorial.

First of all, we must build a quiet environment. Let's close all windows and

doors, turn the air conditioner's fan down, and take other precautions when

shooting at home. Additionally, it's crucial to choose a relatively quiet period

of the day to shoot to avoid ambient noise.

Second, in terms of recording equipment, if you are used to shooting with a

camera, you can connect the VM10 PRO to the camera via a 3.5mm audio cable.

The VM10 PRO can be used with a smartphone in digital output mode. It

is advised to prepare a mic stand with an adjustable boom pole or a boom

arm and a small gimbal to mount the mic instead of holding it. One benefit

is that it can ease the pressure on your hands. On the other hand, it can

give you the flexibility to easily adjust the direction of the mic.

Third, some tips on how to record the subtle sounds of making Hongkong-Style

French Toast. You can choose glass-material tableware for easy recording as

you stir and set the plates, while still getting a clear and pleasant sound.

Since the toast is so soft, there is almost no sound when the knife slices it.

At this point, you can stay up the knife a little bit so that it makes contact

with the cutting board to make a sound.

You can crack a few more eggs until you get the desired sound. Furthermore,

if you want to reduce ambient noise, move the mic stand closer to just out

of the frame of the shot to focus more on the sound of the cracking eggs.

When whisking the mixture with a fork or whisk, please do not exert too

much effort since this can produce an unpleasant sound for listeners. There

are also tips for pouring milk. You can put the milk carton a little further

away from the bowl so that the sound will be louder.

In addition, please record the entire frying process from different angles,

as the sound of butter varies depending on the temperature of the oil. In

this way, you can choose the audio that works best when editing your video.

That's all the tips for making a cooking video. There is so much fun that

you can experience when you shoot and record with the VM10 PRO!
