With more and more companies offering CD-quality streams, hi-res tiers, and lossless audio options, the temptation to reserve a bit more of the paycheck for pleasurable listening is greater than ever. Apple, Amazon, Tidal, Quboz, Deezer, and others have concluded that giving music lovers extra fidelity is a worthwhile endeavor, a move that is generally applauded by industry professionals and “normal people” alike.

But there are many reasons why one of these cameras might not be the best fit for your production style.
For example, in the golden olden days when I shot some documentary and corporate video, I included a Canon 5D Mark III DSLR alongside my Sony PMW-EX1R broadcast camcorder for a few

Ami Vitale has a remarkable affinity for life-changing events. A native of South Florida, Vitale was a self-described shy, gawky child who, like many young girls, possessed little confidence. The assessment of a grade school teacher, who told her she was not very good at English, stuck with her for years. “I just thought that I had no ability as a writer, or as a creative person,” she says. “I remember thinking I was going to become an engineer because I had almost perfect math scores on my SAT.”

It seems that every day in most cities around the nation, there are concerts, theatrical productions, and songs performed at houses of worship. People often want to relive the experience and make it available to others who couldn’t be present for the original event. Multitrack recording unlocks the greatest potential for high-quality capture and reproduction of the audio from the live event. In live productions, all used channels get recorded simultaneously.
