7 Tips For Better Audio Recording

It’s always easier to optimize the quality of the recorded audio than to fix substandard audio in post-production. If possible, use an external microphone whenever you shoot videos. A lavalier (lapel) mic, like the type newscasters use, is unobtrusive and especially helpful when you want to hear someone’s voice clearly. To provide off-camera narration—as with a podcast or overdub—a good-quality headset mic works best. Noise-canceling models, or at least headphones that fully cover the ear, will serve you better than earbuds....

A New Lord Of The Rings Mobile Game Is In The Works

It’s been seven years since the Middle-earth film series capped off with “Battle of the Five Armies,” but J.R.R. Tolkien’s stories still make for good entertainment. At least, that’s what EA and Middle-earth Enterprises are banking on as the two companies just announced a new free-to-play mobile game set in the classic fantasy universe. The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth is still kind of ethereal in nature—something of a wraith if you will—as barely any details (and no screenshots) have been revealed so far....

Ai S Improving Tv Image Quality But It S Not Perfect

Televisions have used image processing to improve quality for decades. However, as the resolution of a new HDTV has increased, so has the difficulty of extracting attractive results from aging content. Brands like Sony, LG, Samsung, Hisense, and TCL have turned towards AI to close the gap. Though it has limitations, the technology has matured in recent years and can deliver an obvious leap over older televisions. “The AI portion of it, when it first got started, the promise was much grander than the delivery,” Caleb Denison, senior editor at Digital Trends, said over Zoom....

Apple Music S Lossless Audio Streaming Now On Android

Apple added lossless and spatial audio to Apple Music back in June, but until now, only Apple users could take advantage of those features.

Lossless audio streaming is said to provide a better experience overall when listening to music, with CD quality and Hi-Resolution quality options. The first catch is you’ll need to have a nice set of wired headphones to hear much of a difference in the first place....
