Sound for Video Session — Myna Universal Fit IEMs, MixPre Setup, & Q&A

In this week's session, we'll briefly talk about my experience with the Myna universal fit in-ear monitors, walk through how I setup my MixPre for various situations, and then 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 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.
