Sound for Video Session: ZOOM F3 Initial Look & Q&A

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we take our first look at the new ZOOM F3 32-bit float audio recorder. This tiny device has two XLR inputs and NO GAIN setting. Because it can record a rather wide dynamic range , it doesn't need a gain or input setting. We'll take a closer look including audio samples, battery power time, how it works, and cover the types of situations where it may be most useful. Then we answer your sound for video related questions.

Sound for Video Session: Microphone Samples, Routing, Q&A, & Gear Sale

In this week's session, we cover a website which allows you to hear multiple microphones on the same voice, a free audio routing app for Mac, a question and answer session, and we'll wrap up by selling (for $1 each) several pieces of gear including microphones, wireless systems, and even some camera monitors. Same deal as always where the winner pays shipping plus $1 (my accountant says we need to do it this way for some such reason).
