In this episode, we run through my workflow for recording sound for my YouTube videos from start to finish - production to post production.
More detailed videos on the various steps:
Boom camera-top shotgun mic from a microphone stand
Compress and loudness normalize
Free Sound Only plugin from Alex4D to create audio crossfades.
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. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
