Fix Your Speaker Sound: ARC Studio Room Correction System
Our educational courses can be found at school.learnlightandsound.com!
When mixing dialogue audio for video projects, we need to start with accurate sound output if we want to create an accurate end result. Because many of us are working in home studios and rooms without acoustic treatment, room correction software can help us achieve this without the need to massively modify your space. In this episode we test out IK Multimedia’s ARC Studio correction kit, as well as examine some of the theory behind software room correction. Let’s take a closer look and listen!
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. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX.
