In this week’s episode, we do- gasp!- a camera review! That’s right, even audio nerds sometimes need a camera. In this case, we’re looking at the YoloCam S7 from YoloLiv. It’s an interesting blend of USB webcam and micro-4/3rds camera (yes, that means interchangeable lenses!) and we’ve had a great experience using it as an overhead cam on our weekly livestream. Let’s take a closer look and check out what special features make this such a compelling streaming camera!

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!
