Sound for Video Session: Sound Devices 888 Setup & Q&A

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we'll walk through the basic setup of the Sound Devices 888, how to configure inputs and a tour through some of the menus. We'll then answer your sound related 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.
