In this week’s episode we deep-dive into the new DEITY PR-4 audio field recorder and compare it to other popular audio recorders for video production in the same range: The ZOOM F3, TASCAM FR-AV2, and the Sound Devices MixPre-3 II.

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!
