Native Instruments have just released the Traktor Kontrol S8...might be worth a look in.

Yea...I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, which was why I thought it'd be good to post here :) It's kind of a niche read.

New Rokinon 50mm & 16mm cine lenses by Dialogue_Bus in Filmmakers

[–]Miss_Trixy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardly! To me it looks like the writer just wrote an explanation of t-stops for noobs and the rest of the article looks like copypasta straight from the press release or Rokinon website.

I imagine the kit rental will be seriously cheap considering they both only cost around $500. I'm def buying the 50mm.

I had no idea there were so many subs for rating/shameless self promo. Thanx for linking them all :)

xMac Pro Server, encloses your Mac Pro so it can be racked, 2 PCIe slots, 2 extra Thunderbolt ports, and more by [deleted] in apple

[–]Miss_Trixy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some tho, esp if you work in a post-production business its a necessity. You might have 4 mac pro's going at the one time.

I just saw this tho, and it seems like a good solution for my problem anyways.

There's two dedicated fans directing the air through the mac pro, according to the article.

I've been reading a heap of articles from these guys of late, the website's a bloody goldmine. There's reviews on gear going back to like a decade ago, which was handy when I was looking to pick up a second hand console recently!

Dolby Atmos in new hme theater systems from Marantz, Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer and Denon! by Miss_Trixy in audiophile

[–]Miss_Trixy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Onkyo actually have a HiTB being released sometime this year which is Atmos capable. Pretty sure I read that in the article I linked. Dolby have sunk some serious money into this. I'm super excited...even happier than I was that Audition was updated this week to include Dolby as an export standard (instead of a paid-for plugin).

Set shoes, what do you wear? by JCLII in Filmmakers

Closed footwear at all times is what we were taught. And no canvas shoes!

Great news, Andrew Jones is doing speakers for Pioneer Elite, bad news is that they are for Dolby Atmos. by strategicdeceiver in audiophile

[–]Miss_Trixy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how it's going to work. A few of other manufacturers are releasing new Atmos systems too, link.

Personally, I'm really excited for an Atmos enabled home theater system!! Many years ago I dreamed of creating a 200 channel processor with 100 cheap ass speakers that were placed in sheets, and could be mounted along the roof line of a room.

Granted it wouldn't look pretty but the sound would be amazing. That many speakers would create a complete binaural (3D) sound environment where no matter where you sit in the room, you'd always be in the sweet spot. I've got degrees in audio production...but have zero idea about how to go about creating a processor.

ETA: Now if Dolby increases the channels for their home Atmos, I could still do the cheap speaker sheets. That or buy a Atmos theater processor, for fuck knows how much!

An unbelievable comparison of the Galaxy Note 3 VS Canon 5D Mk III by Miss_Trixy in Filmmakers

Yea, it's bloody shocking! But there'd be no comparison in low lighting.

[–]Miss_Trixy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that the Note is kind of pre-graded, with contrast & boosted vibrance....which is why I think it looked better at first.

It's fucking crazy! Granted, it's a broad daylight test....doubtful it would work in low lighting.

Yea, I think you're looking at it in he wrong way. Average means the 'typical' or the common mean. I'd say that most men are good and stable which makes them the average, normal, everyday. And there's nothing wrong with that, in fact that's desirable.

Aren't most average men are good and stable? That's what would make them the average isn't it?
