Sound for Video Session: Earthworks SV33, ETHOS, & SR314 Samples, Q&A

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we pull out three of my favorite microphones for spoken word audio from Earthworks — the SV33, ETHOS, and SR314 — and have a listen to each of them back to back. We then answer your sound for video 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.
