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.

CEntrance PortCaster Podcast & Livestream Audio Recorder & Mixer

In this episode, we take a look at and a listen to the CEntrance PortCaster podcast and livestream recorder and mixer. The PortCaster is unique in that it does not have a screen or menus, just buttons, dials, and switches. Its durable build and compact form factor make it an interesting option for mobile podcasters and live streamers. The preamplifiers are top notch and the analogue limiters help prevent distortion when things get a bit louder than expected. Let’s have a closer listen!
