Sound for Video Session: Digital Mixer and Q&A

Welcome to our weekly Sound for Video Session where we answer your questions about audio for video and film. In this week’s session we demonstrated the setup of a digital mixer - the Allen & Heath SQ5 - and how we configured the microphone channels, moved the phone input channel, configured the HP filter, compressor, gate, and EQ.
