In this week's Sound for Video Session, we take a closer look at the new ZOOM F8n Pro 32-bit float audio recorder. We'll cover the basic settings and walk through the menus. Then we answer your sound for video related questions.
To learn more about 32-bit float wide dynamic range audio, please have a watch of our previous session on the topic: youtu.be/x4Kc_IFgRXo
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.
