In this week's session, we have a first look at the TASCAM DR-10L PRO, an update to the original DR-10L body pack recorder which is quite popular amongst creators, independent video creators, and wedding videographers. This new version steps forward with 32-bit float recording and remote bluetooth control. This is just the first look, we'll have a full review in a few weeks. 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.
