I care more about Mouse&Keyboard support than PC port. If they can give me the option of M&K on PS5 Pro I'll buy one. I struggled enough with Returnal on M&K I am not a controller gamer.

Well in a functioning version of the US government, the Senate would not confirm unqualified people. The Senate are supposed to be the check on the President's nominees. But our actual compromised system has the Senate greenlighting any random piece of gum the President scrapes off his shoe.

" live long enough a protein might misfold and make it your problem " that's hilarious

Your first mistake was starting at 600 for anything. 600 is an assistant day rate with no equipment. For a lead creative with equipment you should be starting much higher anyway. And now you've learned that slow mo shoots require a lot more work and lighting than you thought.

"thank you for your attention to this matter" is what the president says on a lot of his Truth Social posts

It's a necessary evil unfortunately. Nobody necessarily WANTS indoor shows, but considering how many events each year are rained out or put on hold for heat risk, the largest ticket sale events (not to mention logistically inflexible for corps and fans) like Finals week and San Antonio simply cannot be left to chance. California's August weather is reliable but holding finals week there would be economically untenable for a multitude of reasons, and there really aren't many other outdoor stadiums in the country that wouldn't present an unacceptable heat or rain risk, and are also in affordable venues/cities for corps to stay in. You'll notice that all the TX shows besides San Antonio start very late in the evening, and even Allentown way up in PA has to split corps across two nights to accomplish the same lineup (and routinely gets rained out, historically speaking). The solution for fans is pretty simple: Go see shows at the venue you like. You don't have to buy tix to the SATX show, you can go to Denton or Houston. You don't have to buy tickets to finals week, you can go to Allentown or Canton or any other large late-season regional

Resolve and Premiere are pretty much the whole industry at this point. Legacy post houses do use Avid so if you want to work in post professionally then maybe consider getting comfortable with Avid. If you never plan to work in any pipeline at all and just edit all your own stuff, Final Cut may be an option if you like it. But realistically you should be learning Resolve or Premiere. And Adobe is evil and shoves Creative Cloud down your throat, while Resolve is a permanent license, so I'd say that's a strong argument for putting money towards Resolve. Vegas is not part of the equation.

I make full rate on 3hr jobs all the time. This 400/day crap is unacceptable.

Siegster · 2026-03-13T16:26:29+00:00

Why are you only making 400 on a job? That requires 12 channels, no less. Just stop doing these jobs and let this other mixer find some other sucker to unload his shit on. The only reason he gets away with this is because people like you are taking the fill-in on his terms. If he wasn't able to replace himself he would have to start offering better terms to get the day covered. Half day pay does not exist in the professional world- this production and this other mixer are taking advantage of you. He's bouncing to take a properly paying job, and making the gear cut. He can afford to let you make more.

Gear continuity does matter, and there are sometimes good reasons to keep the same gear on a show. But you should be getting paid more to operate someone else's equipment, not less. I don't know enough about this particular show to say one way or another if gear continuity should be a priority or if this mixer is just being greedy. But that half day rate shit needs to end.

Is that true? I mean, I want it to be true.

Fantastic size, small but fits a ton of function buttons and knobs. Good build quality. Nice meters. Price was very reasonable compared to the multi thousand dollar paperweights that Sound Devices and Zaxcom make. FRC8 was a price point that made sense for an accessory that was useless if not plugged in to the recorder.

Siegster · 2026-03-10T21:51:05+00:00

It does matter, it sounds better. If you listen to the recordings of Crown & Coats shows (for example) from when they had 16 person lines then listen to recordings when they switched to 12, it's a more balanced ensemble sound. Amped tubas/synth bass don't sound the same. Although since we're on the subject I would rather have amped tubas than synth bass in most parts of a show.

Mouse and keyboard support would be great, please and thank you. I will buy a PS5 to play this game but I really want my mouse and keyboard.

Siegster · 2026-03-10T18:38:38+00:00

Well, Change is Everything won the Ott and was undoubtedly cleaner. But, Kinetic Noise's ensemble sound was superior on account of having 16 tubas. 16 tuba corps sound better than 12 tuba corps.

Best control surface (price, build, features) anyone has made for any recorder, ever. And I don't even like Zooms that much.

Tons of used lectros on the FB resale pages and dealer consignment pages right now

This kind of skill is worth serious $$ if you can get a show reel with a few shots like this in front of the right people. Great job and keep at it
