Sound for Video Session: Beyerdynamic M 90 vs Earthworks SR314, Q&A

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we cover your sound related questions. We also compare the Earthworks SR314 to the Beyerdynamic M 90 PRO X. And we give you sample audio from a $1700 microphone to see if more expensive equals better sound. Hint: It is more nuanced than the price of the microphone.

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 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 also just added a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini.
