Summary
In the upcoming episode of the Pro Audio Suite, the hosts reveal their game-changing automix method which allows priorities on three different levels. Depending on how you want your mix, you can set the priority higher for yourself, medium for your guests, and lower for sound effects or any other input. This method doesn't allow overstepping on each mix, ensuring a cleaner end product. The podcast also compares its functionality with RODECaster Pro Two, emphasizing the lack of such an automix function in the latter. However, optimism remains that it could be added later. The episode concludes with a heartfelt thanks to Triboos and Austrian audio, inviting listeners to tune in on their preferred podcast provider.
