Audio and Music

Audio and Music can make or break a video. There is nothing I dislike more about a motovlog or really any Youtube video than when you can see that they are trying to produce quality content but the audio is just terrible. It could be that they are too far from the mic, or there is a lot of background noise. For motovlogging it can often be wind noise, either the microphone is getting wind on it directly or it is picking up the wind noise of the helmet or something like that. After playing around with a cheap mic and also trying to use the bluetooth from my helmet I can see that getting good audio isn't easy, but if you want to make quality content then you have to do what you can. I can see that I'm probably going to have try a few more of the budget options out but I may end up having to get a decent audio recorder.
Music is very similar, having no music, bad music or highly repetitive music makes me turn off from watching videos that otherwise would have been acceptable. Music can engage with an audience and make the viewing experience more enjoyable, if a music track is good enough it can keep people watching a video that is otherwise of little interest.
I've been unable to find decent music for free and I've done a fair bit of searching. Occasionally I find a good track but after watching a few youtube videos you discover that a lot of other people have already found the same music. You soon lose interest in the music and it can even make you turn the video off if you've heard it too many times.
The good news is that I've found a subscription service that has really good music and when I finally get around to making videos I'll subscribe to them and have a lot of great music to choose from.
