Sound for Video Session — Live Sound with Matt W Ruff
In this week's session, we talk with Matt Ruff, a front-of-house sound engineer. Matt will tell us about his career and some of the things he learned to become a successful sound engineer, in house of worship, concerts, and more.
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, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
