Our sound and lighting courses can be found at https://school.learnlightandsound.com! In this week’s episode, we have a look at and listen to Point Source Audio’s Embrace lav mic system- specifically the Embrace EO-8WLh. This ear-worn lav system is super easy to use and specified for high-sensitivity use cases, like interviews, demonstrations, and other dialogue-based recording scenarios. Let’s take a closer look and find out if the Embrace would be a good lav solution for your workflow! 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 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. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See https://school.learnlightandsound.com for more info!
