But with the arrival of 32-bit float audio recorders, changes everything in field audio recording. What’s 32-bit float recording? With 32-bit float, forget about […]
A podcasting mixer (mixer made for podcasters), functions a little differently from usual digital audio mixers. I put my hands on the recently. It’s a multitrack podcast recorder, mixer, and audio interface. Watch my review video below: In this post, I’ll be sharing my thoughts about the PodTrak P8 from the standpoint of a music […]
