In this week's session, I open up the new RODE Wireless PRO microphone kit and we have a first look at its features and samples of how it sounds. The Wireless PRO is RODE's new premium consumer oriented wireless microphone system and comes with many of the features requested from users of the Wireless GO and GO II. After we have a look at that, 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.
