Hi,
As the title depicts, I've recently moved into a new condo room which is right beside a LRT and highway (as you can imagine, plenty of noise).
The reason why im writing this is because I need help to fix this problem to film my YouTube video without much interference.
Current setup is Boya BY-M1 mic + Canon EOS M50.
A few solution that I've discovered:
1. Reducing background noise in Final Cut Pro X (but this will resulting the audio becoming wobbly)
2. Reducing the Audio level (-20 30 dB) on my Canon EOS M50 but my voice ended up too soft
3. Even with my balcony sliding door closed (there are noises sipping through the "cracks"). Not sure if stuffing more clothes help?
4. Buy a new mic - Shot gun mic? I've read they only pick up voices in a particular axis, so "noise" which comes in various axis doesnt get picked up quite much. Considering Rode VideoMicro.
5. Audacity software noise reduction - Never tried, could end up having result like No.1 (but i wouldnt want to do this every time i film 40-50 clips weekly)
Note: I've yet to post new video filmed in this new room. All videos in my youtube channel currently are from my previous condo room.
All in all I'm at a roadblock and would love to seek your kind opinion to fixing this issue.
Thank you very much.
