When producing audio for video, television, or online content, it’s expected that you’ll have to record sound far away from the comfort of a fancy studio. Whether capturing on-set dialog, interviews, sound effects, or music, you’ll need an audio recorder/mixer that is equally portable and powerful. Let’s look at ten portable audio recorders rightfully sitting at the top of many wish lists. Audio Recording, Recording Studio, Recorders, Sound Effects, Mixers, On Set, Magic, Fancy

With consumers demanding higher resolution and less compressed video from cameras, manufacturers have responded by supplying memory cards that are not only more durable, but more capable. Today, cameras are recording 4K video to microSD cards and raw HD video to SD cards. Luckily, memory cards have kept up with the rising demand, and the fastest cards around rival SSD drives, though finding out which ones are truly fast can be a challenge. 4k Video, Sd Card, Ssd, Faster, Demand, Challenges, Memories

The easiest, most cost-effective way to improve the quality of your videos is to add an external mic to your phone. Viewers are more forgiving of camera mistakes than they are of poor sound quality, and while your phone has a great camera, the built-in microphone just won’t cut it. A good mic is that must-have item for telling your story clearly without your message getting lost, improving the way you connect with your audience and helping you build your online community.

What is the best camera for beginners? While this seems like a straightforward question, it is somewhat complex. Giving this question some thought and considering a few options may pay future dividends as a novice photographer evolves into a photographic artist. One certainty is that an entry-level camera should be easy to use, convenient to carry and employ, as well as being intuitive, while also allowing for growth. All of this should combine to foster a passion for photography. Best Cameras For Beginners, Photographic Artist, Entry Level, Complex, Growth, Passion, Good Things

When I was asked recently if I wanted to do a hands-on review of a VIZIO Quantum Dot LED TV, I didn’t want to appear too eager. I am, after all, a professional… but it’s certainly not an everyday occurrence to be asked to take home such a lavish piece of equipment. VIZIO decided to let me try the P659-G1, and I was excited for the opportunity to upgrade from my plasma, at least temporarily. Vizio, Led Tv, Smart Tv, Quantum, Plasma, Opportunity
