TL;DR
Upgrade your broadcast audio by attaching professional external microphones directly to your video sources. This quick tutorial explains how to use Wirecast's Shot Audio Icon to replace hollow on-camera sound with crisp, clean mixing board feeds.
In this tutorial, we show how to use Wirecast’s Shot icon on the toolbar to add an external microphone to a particular shot.
