In this week's session, we demonstrate the CEDAR sdnx noise suppression plugin for Sound Devices 8xx series recorders. This is real-time noise reduction optimized for dialogue on the Sound Devices pro-level mixer/recorders. Then we answer your sound for video questions.

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 [ Ссылка ] 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 and just added Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio.
