Office Hours for Feb 11, 2022 - Office Hours 690
00:00 Intro
00:56 I've been looking at MacBook Pros (currently have a 2017 4-core i7 15" model) and I've noticed the M1 Max models are delayed until April. Coming from the i7, would it be worth waiting for the Max for a mostly-audio person?
02:14 How do you determine which "top 10" etc. Product lists are worthwhile and reputable? (eg. top ten mixers, top ten webcams, etc
05:09 Looking at iPad models. Which would be a good choice for OH use? I/O and size?
09:05 I recorded an event last night on Zoom and I accidentally closed ZoomOSC before I could convert the recording. Is there a way to recover the files? I tried using the zTscoder.exe fix and no luck. Big fan! Thank you!
10:42 Is there a way to insert EQ/Dynamics into a Dante system without a console? (using a Mac M1)
11:30 How are you able to run more than one ZOOM meeting at a time without being logged out?
12:13 How do you organize the apps on your phone (android and iphone)?
15:49 What would make NAB worth going to?
21:14 Can we all ask the Folks from Unity Intercom to add a Api to the Server?
22:54 I have a friend whom cannot wake up in time for OH. He has a 2018 Marantz Receiver and a 2017 Samsung TV. He has tried every obvious thing to get ARC working between the components to no avail. Any suggestions?
24:59 Josh Kaufman, How did you create the Show Info graphic card that displays prior to OH starting?
26:31 Can you measure the softness of light?
28:37 Hi Alex, you have an amazing quiet studio. Could you please explain your way of sound treating your studio? Thanks.
30:39 For single-camera hybrid meetings so folks can still Zoom in (which have become my Saturday chore) is there any reason to pull my ATEM out of my home studio rather than using a capture device? Tired of resetting but not ready to buy a second ATEM.
32:34 For those with more than five Apple computer devices, what Apple ID you use on them? (A similar question for more than 10 total devices)
34:33 Has anyone on the panel purchased a Samsung Frame TV? Curious to know your opinion on this model for displaying personal photos throughout the house.
37:23 What enterprise network equipment have you been specifying with so many vendors being backordered due to the chip shortage?
38:30 Not too long ago a panelist sang the praises of the best stud finder they had ever used. I think it was around $30 which is a bargain to maintain my sanity. Anyone remember where it was available?
40:53 Looking to buy an ATEM mini. Should I wait for newer release from BMD?
43:28 What are you watching now? And in the future?
48:52 Can you trust netflix and amazon ratings and their "AI"?
52:19 What are the advantages of using C fast cards over SD cards
53:06 I want to replace an analog audio router with a Dante system. Currently I'm looking at a Ferrofish A32. What's the panel's thought's or recommendations?
53:44 I love that I can output 16x9 video from iPad to ATEM, do you know of other apps that can do it?
54:54 Best sounding panelist mic and what model?
57:05 We use ScreenFlow version 10 to record our video podcast.
We use an ATEM mini being fed by a Sony A6100. Sound is being handled by a RodeCaster Pro.
After about 30 minutes, the audio is slightly out of sync with the video. After an hour the audio i
01:00:12 Alex, you mentioned you wouldn't get a 14" MacBook Pro. Why would that be?
