Yay, the B is Back!

Zoom is still proving to be a bit of a challenge.  Trying to work out why people sound so “phase-shifty” on certain parts.  Most logical explanation is it’s a bandwidth issue.  We’re working on it!

This is Part Two of a great interview with my friend Alejandro Seri from Final Draft

The mic quality isn’t wonderful; I should have just taken the sound directly off the mixing board but I used Zoom instead. 

The more I use Zoom, the more I find problems but it is a great resource in many ways so I just need to work around its limitations and fix things on my end.
