The biggest issue, or, why you wouldn’t use an iPhone 4 is because Apple no longer supports the phone. But there are things to keep in mind, as we’ll discuss in more detail below. There is nothing stopping you from using an iPhone 4 the phone would still work, connect to the internet, and make calls. Can you still use an iPhone 4? Yes, of course. Things have changed quite a bit since then, and so too has Apple’s core CPU architecture (more on that in a sec)… It was the first iPhone to use Apple’s Retina Display and it was one of the thinnest, most-premium-looking phones on the planet. It was one of Apple’s most successful releases of all time. When did the iPhone 4 come out? The iPhone 4 was originally released in 2010.And no, I don't use auto level on my camera, always manual audio level.If you’re thinking about getting an iPhone 4 – or iPhone 4s – because they’re now extremely cheap, think again! The iPhone 4 is no longer a viable phone and this is the #1 reason why… Everything else recorded in camera and screen capture doesn't need anything. Maybe the odd tweak on a few tracks to drop the level were I got annimated and raised my voice, but that literally takes one mouse click and drag and 1 second to do. Here is my edit for todays video: 1hr of material, and the only audio adjustment required is on half a dozen clips that were unusal in that I shot them on my Tagarno microscope with HDMI capture. Any smart video blogger or podcast host will avoid this at all costs. I have to manually select the soft bits like this and level them: If your audio is filled with an hour of you moving toward and away form the mic (turning your head with a lapel mic can do this) with all sorts of levels, then your audio leveling has to be done on every single piece. It doesn't magically make the soft bits louder. Take this audio: If I level the whole lot it looks like practically the same, as it just take the largest peak and makes it -3dB (or whatever). It does not make soft parts of your audio the same level as your louder parts unless yu Normalise every single part with different level individually. Most people seems to misunderstand what the "Normalise" function is. The key with editing is to do as little as possible, not create extra workflow steps. No video blogger in their right mind who produces lots of content wants to dick around separating out audio and processing it separately. And I've occasionally done this in special cases and run it through The Levelator and re-import the audio. c) Process it d) Re-merge it with the video from (a) - End quote - Correct. Took me years to find it :palm: - End quote - a) Render the finished video with no data compression on the audio track. It really helps OTR files (old time radio). ("compression" as in dynamic range compression, not data compression) - End quote - How do you separate it? Compressor is my second most useful Audacity function (after Normalize).

End quote - Yep, and this is what I do in Sony Movie Studio and it's pretty trivial, just press S (split) in two spots and then Normalise and drag the clip level (it's almost always I need to amplify soft bits) But I don't fuss, only when required. Quote from: Fungus on May 11, 2016, 08:17:29 pm -The real pro editors chop the audio track up into a gazillion pieces and normalize each one separately. We use this on the Amp Hour radio show, and I very occasionally use it on interview video and the like. If you want a serious tool to level audio then you use the levelator. You still have the soft bits and the loud bits. For example: Before compression: After compression: What's improved? Nothing. I already do this selectively in Sony Movie Studio were required, but the only real time I have to do that is if I deliberately move away form the mic (reaching for something and talking etc) Compression on it's own on the whole track doesn't work work magic either. You have to do selected bits that are specifically low in level. You can't just apply the normalise function to the entire audio track, it doesn't work. End quote - Normalise is not a solution the problem of variable audio level. Maybe it has (and he could use) a function called Normalize in Audacity. I am surprised YT does not set the levels.
