Part 1: Dynamic Microphones for Podcasting

Today’s episode is part one of a two part series on microphones for podcasting, live-streaming, and voice over. In this part, we cover dynamic microphones which are often a good option for podcasting and live-streaming because they generally pick up less ambient sound when you’re recording in a space with some ambient noise or is not acoustically treated.

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, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders.
