Ear training & headphones for video production & post
In this week's Sound for Video Session, we'll do an ear training exercise and then talk headphones for video production and post production. Headphones are a critical tool for recording and post-processing spoken word audio. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of mixing sound for video with headphones versus near-field monitors or speakers.
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.
