The acronym GIBO (Garbage In Garbage Out) certainly applies to the quality of your production’s sound. Although Final Cut Pro can reduce unwanted background noise the ‘fixed’ sound can be flat and thin compared to the full-bodied audio of a recording with healthy sound levels. One way to record better quality sound is to get the microphone closer to your subject. You could place your iPhone closer to an interviewee but this limits your compositional choices. With a wireless mic kit such as the JOBY Wavo AIR you can always keep the mic close to the subject and capture consistent and strong sound levels for up to 50 metres.
