Audio Bootcamp – Improve your Twitch Audio by 100%
I’ve noticed some streamers own great mics, but often audio can be muddy or distorted and generally not as “pro” as it could be.

After contacting Brett from Firelight and trying […]
Portable Recorders 2 – Binaural Mic Tests: Sony PCM-D50 Vs. Roland CS10EM
I’ve read the microphones on a Sony PCM-D50 Portable recorder are not great [but better than the microphones in the Marantz PMD-661 – see blog on THAT!] and I was wondering exactly how “not great” they might be.
