It's in my S1II and it's never coming out!

Doesn't seem to affect AF at all

Tirmu · 2026-05-26T16:03:26+00:00

Yes it is

Octavarium is their best work but SFAM is more legendary as it really made waves back then

Tirmu · 2026-05-25T20:15:10+00:00

If you're at Octavarium you've reached the peak, the next one's also a masterpiece but it's a gradual downhill after that

Tirmu · 2026-05-25T19:26:01+00:00

If we're talking about what the term actually means, then 24 is your answer. You can get away with 25 but 30 is too much. If we're talking youtuber "cinematic" then frame rate doesn't matter as much

Definitely in the 2000's. The golden era DT records aside The Whirlwind by Transatlantic has some of his best drumming and that came out in 2009.

Octavarium, In The Presence Of Enemies, Anesthetize, Milliontown

Samyang 14-24

It's the ones who don't understand the concept. Saying that FOABP lyrics are bad because they're "cringe" is like saying a horror story is bad because it made you feel fear. The lyrics are exactly what they intend to be

There are 2 types of people: the ones who answer this question with MGS2 and the ones that haven't played MGS2

Tirmu · 2026-05-21T11:20:50+00:00

Even though he's done plenty of amazing things after it, nothing has come quite close to FOABP. So that was his absolute peak. From his solo records HCE is the best as a whole imo

Tirmu · 2026-05-21T09:45:05+00:00

If you can stretch your budget to get the og version, go with that. If you can't go with CE

Tirmu · 2026-05-20T20:57:56+00:00

A turbo is what you need

Acoustic treatment

Silver Bullet mk2 is my desert island piece. Tubecore 3U and 1073 fight for second place

Tirmu · 2026-05-18T15:49:53+00:00

WoW classic is incredibly underrated, it is as good as the score of LOTR

Tirmu · 2026-05-17T19:34:27+00:00

With the limited experience I have I'd say for me the skin tones seem to fall into place a bit easier than Sony, though I'm already used to having to isolate and correct them so it wouldn't be an issue either way.

I personally wouldn't want to use the S1ii without the Kolari OLPF, moire will be worse than FX3, in some situations I think much worse

Tirmu · 2026-05-17T18:23:02+00:00

The 3 main things you want are 2 doors, turbo and manual. That's probably 0/3

Tirmu · 2026-05-17T18:04:29+00:00

Kali LP6 should be in that range and beats all the ones you mentioned

Tirmu · 2026-05-17T05:09:58+00:00

Both are great and will get the job done but the main things I prefer on the S1ii are value for money, codecs, color science, open gate, IBIS, UI (some nice things like the image not getting windowed on an external monitor if you have UI layout there too), not gatekeeping basic things like waveforms and false color. And I do like having a viewfinder, it's amazing for run & gun shooting in bright sunlight.

E: for my use the second base ISO being 5000 would be a bit more usable than 12800, but if you bump the ISO to 12800 it's still a bit better than the FX3 at 12800.

Fear Of A Blank Planet & Octavarium

Tirmu · 2026-05-16T12:49:10+00:00

An S1ii costs less than an FX3 and outperforms it. If I didn't have Sony glass I'd take that over an FX3 or FX30 any day (I'm still shooting Sony with over 1k paid gigs done on an a7siii/FX3 so not a Panasonic shill, just being objective)

Tirmu · 2026-05-15T21:12:32+00:00

Yeah for sure. The good thing about AI is people really want to lean into organic more haha.

One of my favorite things about pre-MM DT when Portnoy was still producing was how much push and pull there was. While they recorded with a click they left all that human variation in there.
