TASCAM DR-07XP - What's new?

Our lighting and sound courses can be found at https://school.learnlightandsound.com! In this episode, we cover the new TASCAM DR-07XP hand-held audio recorder with built-in stereo microphones. The stereo microphones can be configured in XY or AB spaced pair configurations — giving you a couple of options for making stereo recordings of ambiences, sound effects, foley, or even ASMR. Let’s cover what’s new in this latest version of the DR-07 and cover the most important features. 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!
