Sound for Video Session — What is Dante & Q&A

In this week's session, we'll do a high level overview of what Dante is, and how audio professionals can use it to simplify how they get audio from one piece of equipment to another. And with a LOT of channels. And low latency. And without a lot of complexity. After that, 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 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, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
