How to lessen bass when recording live concerts with a digital camera?
I often record videos at concerts, using my Panasonic DMC-TZ15 digital camera, however, the sound is often harsh and full of bass from being too close. I don’t want to move back, as that will diminish the visual aspect. I’ve heard of perhaps partially covering the microphone? Any details would be extremely helpful.
For good sound, you have to use good microphones.
The built in microphone is good for the mid frequencies and the bass (low freqencies) can cause square waves spoiling the sound. This will overload the electronics and reduce the clarity of other frequencies too including any vocals.
There’s nothing you can do for the bass other than buying a camera with external microphone attachment or using camera for video and a different setup for recording the sound.
