Sound for Video Session: Cheap Gear Good Sound & Q&A

In this week's Sound for Video Session, let's see if we can make good spoken word/dialogue sound like you need for a podcast or a voice over or a YouTube video, with an affordable setup ($300).

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
