Sound for Video Session — Audio mixing for video people

People who focus on video production, and especially camera operators, often find sound or audio to be a bit mysterious and, sometimes, they just want to not be bothered too much with it. But there are just a few fundamental things that can make recording sound for video a lot easier. And these aren't dificult things. Let's talk about what every music and live sound front-of-house mixer knows that every camera person should know.

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.
