DESCRIPTION

This session answers the question: what mics do I use and where do I place them to get great sound in-studio or on-location? This webinar is filled with LOTS of practical examples of different mics, techniques and locations to help you improve your sound.

  • Digital audio recorders
  • Where to set proper record levels
  • How changing mic position affects sound quality
  • What different mics sound like indoors
  • What different mics sound like outdoors
  • How to use mics to reduce noise
  • Compare desktop, handheld, headset, shotgun vs. lav mics
  • How and when to record room tone

This session doesn’t just talk about mics, it illustrates them. During this session we use the following gear:
