512 Audio LIMELIGHT & SKYLIGHT Microphones for Podcasts, Live-streams, Video
In this episode, we have a look at and a listen to two new microphones from 512 Audio: The LIMELIGHT and the SKYLIGHT. These microphones are designed for podcasters, live-streamers, YouTubers, and content creators of all sorts. The LIMELIGHT is a dynamic, broadcast style microphone with a rich, bassy sound. The SKYLIGHT is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a vintage, mid-forward sound. In this episode, we put both of them through their paces.
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 https://school.learnlightandsound.com 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 course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
