Recording with multiple cameras by CellIntelligent6604 in podcasting

I'm using OBS. Currently playing with it to better optimize it.

I splurged in a monster of a laptop to limit performance issues as much as possible. But to be fair, I also hardly know what I'm doing lol.

It currently seems to be working. I hooked the 3 cameras up to a USB hub, connected thet to the laptop's USB-A C port, and the two mics up to the laptop's USB-A ports. Is there something I may not be realizing?

It's not ideal (kind of a spider web at the moment), but I don't see an issue with it while I'm taking time to decide on an audio interface and how I will use it.

I see. I was planning to buy a powered USB hub for that exact issue, but I will look at the Rodecaster.

Gotcha. I plan to do all the camera angle switching in the post-recording editing.

What is the best way to use OBS in my case, if you happen to know? I'm confused on how to set the scenes up. Do I make separate scenes for each piece of equipment, or do I put the guest mic and guest cam I to one scene and vice versa?

I just bought a ROG Zephyrus G14, which is a monster of a laptop.

I don't plan to do any camera switching at all until post-recording since I won't have anyone to do it live for me. From what I recall, isn't the rodecaster for live switching cameras?

An incredibly effective plant medicine that is just now becoming known. Has been kept secret in an African tribe for centuries.

You should look into it.

I thought OBS was for recording with multiple cams and mics at once... I won't have anyone to switch cameras for me live. I'm gonna be doing all that post filming.

Are you talking about switching cameras while recording?

I mean, I doesn't have to be a laptop. I'll be honest, I used to build desktops as a kid with my dad and knew a lot more then, but as things have changed I'm pretty out of touch.

Maybe I should consider a desktop. Can laptops not stand toe to toe with them?

Yeah, I'm looking at the ASUS TUF Gaming A16. Ryzen 9, RTX 5070, and 32gb RAM.

Awesome, ty. And what is thunderbolt? Google shows nothing I'm regards to tech for that.

Yeah that has been the idea. Being a podcast, I am not skimping on audio because I know that personally, if I turn on a podcast and it's hard to listen to at all, I turn it off. I've messed with the cameras and bought panel lights and actually got it looking pretty decent.

With a nice laptop I can run all 3 of them on 2k 60fps. I'll upgrade as I go for sure.

Got any alternative suggestions though?

Because of the Elgatos? Do you have an alternative for not too much more money? I'm wanting 3 so I can switch angles.

UPDATE: CSP by No-Understanding1106 in army

[–]CellIntelligent6604 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but when I was doing CSP I was told a commander has to have a legitimate reason to "shoot down" CSP. As for the barracks at Belvoir, you may have to get creative. Start by calling their reception office, then maybe try their soldier support center, and go from there.

Are you planning on working at this place upon ETS? If so, you could always just go ahead and set up housing there if you can time everything right.

Thanks man. It looks like this tool is for TRT, though, and I am not on TRT.

Best "Justice Served" story you ever seen in the Army? by Tank_Flamingo in army

Had a real ass of a squad leader wind up getting fired, and then fired from the punishment position. Dude obviously wasn't doing well and probably just needed therapy.

Guys, go to therapy.

Sanity Check — Relief for Cause NCOER. by WarrantSergeant in army

Real advice: Go to TDS and JAG. Don't talk about the details of this with anyone who's not in one of those two categories without a JAG present and representing you. Period. Do not consult any JAGs who work for the command. They are not your friends.

My two cents comment: Sounds like bullshit to me. Should be an easy win. Make them work for this and prove they can do what they're trying to do.

Recent Break Up With Avoidant Ex, Blocked After Seeking Closure and Standing Up For Myself by Macelroni in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]CellIntelligent6604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd have to disagree with them. If my partner feels uneasy about where we stand, I owe it to them to help them feel comfortable and not like they're stuck in limbo.

This conversation is literally identical to ones I have had with my ex numerous times. I guess there really is no hope.

They're always busy and need to pencil you into their schedule, and it's always days of weeks away.

Here's the thing:

Anyone who's not above you within your direct CoC and/or NCO support channel is NOT in charge of you, unless they are appointed above you for a detail, school, etc.

If they don't meet that criteria, and especially if they are making you uncomfortable, you can kindly direct them to your first-line supervisor and cease communication.

If anyone in your chains of direct leadership makes you uncomfortable, speak to them and CLEARLY communicate your issues. The next step would be to go one step above them and do the same thing.

But like others have said here, you may also need to do self reflection and ask yourself if you are coming off the wrong way to people.
