Sound for Video Session: RODECaster Pro II First Look

In this impromptu session, we have a first look at the RODECaster Pro II, a podcast mixer, recorder, and USB interface with some interesting features. 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 at https://school.learnlightandsound.com 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 and just added Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio. Gear I often use or that we mentioned in this episode.
