Sound for Video Session — Learn your gear & Q&A  @LearnLightAndSoundSessions
Uploaded June 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In this week's session, we take a step back and spend a little time learning our gear so that we're better equipped to use the gear during a production where we have to solve problems to make the best sound we can. Then we answer your sound for video questions.

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 at school.learnlightandsound.com 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 and just added Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio.
