Roland Announces GO:MIXER PRO Smartphone Audio Mixer and Virtual Stage Camera App

A complete solution for creating engaging music videos with smartphones is how Roland describes its new GO:MIXER PRO smartphone audio mixer and Virtual Stage Camera app, two powerful new tools for content creators who share videos on YouTube and other social media platforms. But for anyone involved in regular video production the new Roland solution might also offer exactly the right recipe for today’s needs, where most of the footage is captured with the iPhone anyway, but some “studio style” tools are normally missing.

The Sennheiser stand at NAB 2018 showed tailor-made audio solutions for mobile journalism, newsgathering, and film productions, in addition to presenting the AMBEO range of products for VR and AR productions. New configurations for the updated Evolution Wireless G4 family were the main focus, but there was also a preview of a very interesting new wireless audio recording solution for mobile devices.

Focusrite announced iTrack Pocket, a new portable, high quality stereo microphone and guitar interface with built-in amp simulation, purposely designed for musicians and singer-songwriters in particular, wishing to create and share videos using an iPhone. An affordable solution for an increasingly common practice, complemented by a free iOS app, Focusrite Impact.
