The Best Bad Audio (gigs for tik tok)

I can shoot wonderful footage of pop bands doing concerts.

I get phoned by aother band and say 'musician?' Id like to do the filming but suggest some sound recordists.

--
This usually doesnt end well.

Now folk seem to go to gigs and just record the band with thier phone.

For some reason this seems to sound better than my various XLR sony mics that came with sony cameras

Maybe Im paranoid .. or could the phones be doing some form of AI sound 'improvement'

Could I add such a filter to my recordings?

More generall give four mics and a pop band.. where would you place those mics :)

thanks

By “various XLR sony mics that came with sony cameras”, do you mean Sony’s on-camera shotguns?

Those mics aren’t that great, to be honest. More than that, and depending on the environment (i.e. reverberant rooms), those mics may be suffering from some considerable comb filtering.

Yes the stereo one that came with the F3 and the mono that came with the Fs100 or EX1.

Ive recorded OK sound with good control and placement of these mics.

Im just querying that these mics are worse/less appropriate for making an in crowd tiktok than a phone, Id be better to tape my phone onth the camera than use a top mic?

(to be clear ill try and hook to the desk and have suggested they hire an audio engineer!)
