What is Audio Routing for Video Production?
In this episode, answer the question, “What is audio routing?” Specifically, we cover this in the context of recording sound for video. You may not need to use audio routing for your current projects — and your current audio recorder may not even support it — but it is useful to understand headphone, output, and media routing as a potential tool for your future projects.
Specific routing examples on the Sonosax M2D2.
