This course aims to help learners improve the audio and sound quality of their video and filming projects. By the end of the course, students will be able to select appropriate microphones for different scenarios, utilize tools like Izotope RX for audio enhancement, understand audio routing for video production, set audio levels for multi-person livestreams, and apply techniques like compression and equalization for dialogue audio. The course employs a hands-on approach, combining demonstrations, reviews, and discussions to teach these skills. It is designed for individuals involved in video production, filmmaking, livestreaming, podcasting, or any other content creation where audio quality is crucial.
