Yea, that is a situation… I did use a one-leg stool on the Walkolution as well as a gymnastics ball. Both worked fine. But I must say that for long programming sessions I found my regular desk / office chair setup more comfortable. When you find a chair that goes high enough, you may be able to get that going more comfortably. I just looked it up, something like this is what I'd try: www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7HJBGWF?tag=cstrax-20

I actually think this is not a downside but almost a feature. Screen further away = better for the eyes and easier to look away. When text is too small (especially in the browser, but also in many other programs) you can just do a CMD+Plus and the text gets bigger (or use a resolution where things are bigger). I am traveling and currently can not measure any because I don't have a tape with me and only one stand.

Initially, I only had what you are describing. A regular standing desk and the Walkolution. It really limits your options to stop walking because you can't pull back and just "lean against the back rest" while still being able to work on the keyboard. The other problem most standing desks have: they are not going high enough to accommodate for the Walkolution beneath, so I had to add one of those "sofa/bed tables with legs" to the desk to actually have the height needed for typing. So, overall: the Walkolution was a much better experience with the Ära desk. I can recommend you talk to Walkolution, ask them the questions you are having and see what their experience is with heavy monitors, and so on. They are eager to work with you to find a solution.

Danke, das höre ich gerne.

That's not happening. The whole digital enclave and all that.

Das ist korrekt. Hat der Interviewpartner eine schnelle Verbindung, ist es ggf. sogar schon Sekunden nach dem Gespräch hoch geladen. Aber manchmal kann es etwas dauern. Es wird aber auch angezeigt, wie der Upload Status ist. Und der Upload läuft auch weiter, wenn man noch im Gespräch ist (aber die Aufnahme beendet wurde).

@@ChrisSpiegl Prima. Danke fürs Erläutern!

I am using Better Display and Sound Source. Two utility applications which make external monitors much more usable. But I agree: Apple also needs to work on this.

Not sure what you mean?

That works too! I tend not to wear my watch when I am on my computer for multiple hours because I can't stand the wristband. But absolutely, the unlock via Apple Watch is super helpful.

@@ChrisSpiegl now you do have a point there, I’ll say. I appreciate the engagement and I’ll look forward to more content from you

x265 is not part of the free AtomOS 11. You, however, now can get x265 in the bundle, which is the AtomOS 11 Feature Pack upgrade (and cheaper than the individual x265 codec license).

I have not experienced any of these issues. I just used the Atomos Ninja with AtomOS 11 to record 30+ minutes multiple times this week with Line audio + Camera audio via HDMI. No issues. Please contact Atomos support and let them know, I think they may be able to help you. Definitely not a reason to look for a different recorder IMO.

@@ChrisSpiegl you are recording pro res raw?i sent them mail nothing yet from there side from two weeks

@JashnDreams No, I record h265 and ProRes (non RAW). I hope you’ll find a resolution with the support team.

@@ChrisSpiegl ok thanks issue arises in pro res raw though will check with support thanks

Depending on your production needs, I would say the Røde Wireless Pro definitely is the all-rounder solution these days. The Track E still has its place, but it certainly is getting thin air with the competition out there. The Timecode feature of the Wireless Pro is limited, though. That's when on bigger productions it just will not cut it. Especially because you can't really sync two Wireless Pro to each other (at this time).

Didn't know people are still using Clubhouse… thought that trend has died down 🙈.

@@ChrisSpiegl Very good medium for open talk.. Anonymously..

We are still using the M1 16GB MacBook Air almost every day for live streams and recording. Sure, we don't have tones of scenes, effects, etc. But it does work. One thing that is super important is to use the Apple VT Hardware Encoder for either H.264 or H.265 (instead of FFmpeg). That makes a big difference!

@@ChrisSpiegl i am using Apple VT Hardware Encoder too but every time run OBS the temperature up quickly

Thank you for your comment and let's build those real businesses to invest in ETFs 👍.

@@ChrisSpiegl 👍

Glad you enjoyed that… That's when I forget to place the In/Out point for Export 🤦. Luckily, CZcams has the video editor, so I'll just trim the other videos out and don't have to re-upload. Thank you for pointing it out so I could fix it.

Those platform fees are real. Though they do provide some serious services (consider you'd have to host all your own videos - and we are doing so on one of my companies - it's expensive and complicated, not to mention the audience that you get by using the discover/search/recommended features)! It is the cost of doing business - just like paying TAX, insurance, gear, etc. is. The mic I used here is the Deity W.Lav Pro, placed behind the buttons, recorded in the Tentacle Sync Track E 32bit float recorder, and edited with Supertone Clear, and FabFilter Pro-Q and Pro-MB.

I traveled with the 4k OLED version from Uperfect, and it's been fine. I usually just pack it in the center of my suitcase so that it is surrounded by clothing and other things to dampen any fall, push, or shove by the Airport staff. So far, no problems. Then in the countries, I pack it in my backpack laptop sleeve compartment.

I appreciate that 🌸.

Thank you for sharing this insight.

The P4 has no effects like reverb, as far as I remember.

@@ChrisSpiegl Thanks Sir.

That's Screen Studio crsp.li/ScreenStudio and I really like the options to add these animations / zooms and other effects. I still export the video and edit the rest in Premiere Pro (adding two cameras) but the tool can already do full face cam screen recordings all with just Screen Studio.

That key will actually make the video slow down when you have this extension installed.

My pleasure

Any time

Sorry, I don't have the RS2 or RS3 and can't give you that answer. Maybe the support team at Atomos can help you.

I think the easier solution would be to get a TRS splitter cable with Left / Right separated. Then set the Wireless Pro to output Timecode on both channels. Then you connect: Left: NTG Right: Wireless Pro Receiver Timecode => You can sync all that in DaVinci Resolve (Premier Pro is lacking audio time code support at the moment). You can't get NTG + Wireless Timecode + Wireless Left/Right since the camera can only do Left/Right audio which is two channels and the NTG+Timecode+Wireless would be something like 3 or 4 channels.

@@ChrisSpiegl Perfect. This was exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you so much.

When you use a device like the Zoom F6, you do not need the timecode on a separate layer because it is automatically embedded in all the single tracks as well as the L/R Mix recording. This metadata timecode is understood by all major audio and video editing programs. And actually: much more supported than for example the SMTPE Audio Track Timecode, which for example, is not supported by Premiere Pro at this time.

@@ChrisSpiegl That is even better. The new Deity TC Sync can export xml that works with Resovle, final cut, and Premiere Pro. So I guess F6 will work and I will only need one box for my Camera. Deity has caught up to Tentecle TC and it does the same but with a cheaper ecosystem. But I am interested in the Zoom recorders so I can complete my setup. What about any audio drift? Do you notice a audio drift when importing the files?

It's difficult to give a recommendation since you described a lot but didn't say what your desired shooting scenario would be. The MKE600 is likely a good choice, and connecting it to a H6 via XLR is 👍. But connecting it to the Camera is something I'd only do with a very short cable (like 50cm / if the camera input is TRS). If you want to use a boom pole, then XLR is the way to go.

@@ChrisSpiegl Hi Chris, apologies for being all over the place. My desire shooting scenario would be to carry a single shotgun microphone for outdoor use which will allow me to connect it to camera for sync audio and also give me an XLR option to connect to zoom H6. I intend to use this mic for outdoor interviews and field recording. My hope is for an XLR mic recommendation (even though knowing that zoom h6 allows TRS input through the XY capsule). This is so I can get one higher quality microphone capable of providing superior quality audio than buying one TRS and XLR microphones that are inferior. I was hoping to buy Deity V Mic D3 pro as an on-camera shotgun microphone and Rode NTG1/NTG2 as an XLR microphone but I am hoping to just single high-quality microphone capable of doing both. I hope this helps answering my question.

My pleasure!

You bet!

I have not tried or looked into down grading this. Maybe the info is on their website / in the faq or pdf read me. But so far I am very happy with the update and everything works solid.

the tentacle sync e has two channel audio. One for a mic and one for the time code. That’s when you use the TRS cable to go into the mic port. Tentacle also has dedicated cables to split that and have a proper mic on the mic channel. And they have cables for all kinds of other timecode systems.

@@ChrisSpiegl Can you tell which (left or right) is timecode and which mic channel? I just wanna make cheap wired DYI timecode. While as I see on the video there is no selection of timecode from stereo signal in Resolve, so some channel suppose to be a default.

Hi, I'd try to reset the devices and then see if that changes anything. As far as I am aware, you cannot change the Gain on the transmitters individually (only as one gain setting on the receiver going to your camera). If that does not work, please reach out to Røde support.

As far as I remember, the files get downloaded to the P4 and you can use them even when the SD card is formatted.

If only the Dummy Battery would have that protective logic build in… that's my criticism… but luckily, with USB-PD coming into almost all new cameras we will not have that problem again.

If you catch one in the ocean? But wait… Those are endangered species not to be hunted 😉.

I believe so, the update should include all the things and just work.

@@ChrisSpiegl Thanks Chris - good to know. I have been watching your videos - apologies for the lay question - does 24 bit/32 floating point combined recording option produce a separate file for each selected channel or is it a 32 floating audio file and and 24 bit mix down file?

Buenos días 🌸.

Thanks for the tip! Fixed.

Yes, that is a standard feature of the Zoom P4.

I think that's a fair point. I had hoped to keep the comments… if only they would let us choose. But on the other hand: this type of transition is not every day and probably only happens once in the lifetime of a channel, so it's not that bad.

Yes, you still use a TRS to TRS cable between the mic and the VXLR adapter. And yes, the idea is that you reduce the length of these TRS cables to the bare minimum (10-20 cm) so that you get less interference.

You're welcome. Glad you found my video helpful.
