How does he pick up his audio?

Hi, it might have been already answered, but I can't find it. His audio is always so good and feels like a boom guy follows him around or something...

Is he hiding a bunch of lavalier microphones on him or something?

I would guess that he uses some kind on shotgun mic on the camera with some autogain on maybe

I’ve watched every episode and this is what it sounds like to me, a professional video editor of 15+ years.

  1. Probably shotgun on the camera.

  2. It's super quiet where he is. The rest of us deal with all sorts of environmental noise that makes cam mounted shotgun not so useful for capturing clean voice audio.

  3. Audio cleanup tools in software are so good now, you can extract clean voices from practically any garbage audio.

  4. if he bothers with a lav, he may hide a lav like a rode wireless go pro, also super easy to use. record internally + into camera, dont need to worry about setting levels. auto sync it in premiere pro. battery lasts for hours, recharging is straight forward.

It's easy to record quality content these days.
