Our sound and lighting courses can be found here!

In this week’s video, we answer YOUR questions about the TASCAM FR-AV4 field recorder! We also have a listen to some additional in-depth sound samples to further assess its recording quality and capabilities.

You can find the sample recordings I mention at this Google Drive link, and you can watch our initial review of the FR-AV4 here.

Also- unrelated, but underrated: here’s our review of the JZ Microphones V11, which we used to record this episode.

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 courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See our school website for more info!
