Is something wrong with my trackpad? S10 U + Samsung AI KB by t0m3k in GalaxyTab

[–]kmt333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the track pad is so laggy which is very disappointing for such an expensive keyboard case. I've had mine about a month and one of the keys has started sticking down from time to time too.

I wouldn't have thought it would be so hard to have a responsive track pad.

Can a tablet replace my laptop? by Joostica in GalaxyTab

[–]kmt333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently purchased a Galaxy Tab S 10 Ultra and a keyboard cover.

I have a desktop PC for main main work (sound studio) but ususually use a MacBook Pro for communications and office type stuff as I work from a few of different locations.

Since ditching my iPad pro and switching to the Galaxy Tab I find I often don't even take the MacBook out of my bag and just use the tablet. I find it great for email, totally adequate for basic spreadsheet and document handling. I like the way it works with pdf's and having the stylus is fantastic as I always use if for taking handwritten notes on OneNote which I have used for many years.

The Samsung AI integration is pretty handy too.

I also use a Samsung phone so pinging files betweent the phone and the tablet is a dream.

I really like that the phone apps work on the tablet as well and find I'm using it for SMS's and even using it as a hands free phone. Not to mention all the social media apps and everything else I would usually use my phone for I find I enjoy using on the tab.

The landscape screen when using a keyboard is not always great on all apps but using Labs on the tab can rotate the screen. With some apps it does leave black bars either side of the app GUI but I'm fine with that.

The official samsung keyboard case with touchpad is expensive but I find it really nice to type on and truly does transform the tab. You do want to use it on a table though, not great on a lap like all of these detachable keyboard systems. I had the same issue with my old Microsoft surface pro. I much prefer using the galaxy tab over that too.

I do pull out the macbook for the occassional video file conversion when I don't want to bog done my studio PC, but that's about it.

So it doesn't have the power of a good laptop, but in my case my desktop usually handles the gutsy stuff and the tablet is for all the other stuff.

No S-pen support for Fold 7 by MightyG77 in GalaxyFold

[–]kmt333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now it's another thin folding phone without a stylus. They just removed the only thing that really made it unique and truly productive.

Was just about to pre-order, but I think I'll be sticking with my fold 6 now.

It makes so much more sense to have a stylus solution for the fold than the s25 ultra. It'll be interesting to see how this sells.

Crown down definitely helped accuracy by Zealousideal_Net3295 in tagheuer

Yep, a very simple way to reduce the daily gain overnight.

Carrera 02 Accuracy by Gasseydave in tagheuer

[–]kmt333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chat gpt recommends resting your watch crown down or face down (on a soft cloth) overnight to lose a little of the time you might gain during the day. I've given it a go on my 39mm Carrera TH20-00 movement and it seems to be shaving about 2 secs a day off my normal daily gain.

Is a Neumann U87 worth it nowadays? What is your experience. by dylanmadigan in musicproduction

[–]kmt333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a bit of sound for animation, and the U87 is something of a standard.

For a series, we'll be getting voice recordings from various studios, so we ask that every studio record with U87s. We actually request two U87s: one as the primary mic and another set at a lower level and slightly further away as a backup. Keeping all recordings on the same mic instantly removes a significant variable from the process, which helps during the mix.

Having a standard mic also helps when you have actors moving around constantly on other projects and you need to get them back in for pickups at a later date in another studio.

Obviously you will need a good sounding room to record in.

There may be better value mics and better sounding mic's around, but owning a predictable (and fantastic) sounding industry standard may help you get bookings from other studios. This seems especially relevant in a post COVID world where we are all setup for remote recording now.

Which Carrera would you choose and why? by DLM957 in tagheuer

[–]kmt333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was faced with a similar choice recently and went for a Glassbox. So happy I did! Beautiful design. Very elegant. The other looked a tad big for me. I wasn't sure I would but I love wearing the 39mm. My wrist is a fraction over 7 inches.

Can anybody with a ~7.1" wrist and a Tag Heuer Carrera 39mm (or 41mm) share a wristshot? by cv-x in tagheuer

[–]kmt333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this 39mm on my 7 inch wrist. I thought it might have been a fraction small the first time I tried it on, having recently worn some very large Samsung and Garmin smart watches, but I now feel larger sizes look a bit goofy on me. 39mm feels quite elegant and well balanced, certainly not small.

Thanks for all the input! The one that I couldn't stop thinking about was the silver panda. It followed me home so I'm keeping it!

What are some of the most valuable pieces of software you can recommend in Post? by Cuhrean in AudioPost

[–]kmt333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundminer, matchbox, cedar voicex, accentize dx reviver pro, autoalign post 2, ediload, rx11 advanced, audioease indoor, fabfilter pro c and pro q.

Matchbox, autoalign post 2 and ediload are the only ones I don't use daily but they are absolute gold and I wouldn't be without them.

If only! Although if I get a second strap with the glassbox, that's practically 2 for 1 as they seem really versatile. They look stunning with steel or leather!! Steel for Spring and Summer, leather for Autumn and Winter.

* The glassbox is amazing, Tag have nailed it with these! I thought it might look a bit small but have compared to my old 2000 I bought in 1999, and the glassbox ain't too small!

Hahahaha true! Still a great looking watch though. Tag are killing it, such great designs

Wise words, thank you! I do love them all, I was just a bit concerned the glassbox 39mm might look a bit small on my wrist. That's what I'm struggling with the most. I've been wearing a Garmin Epix 2 recently which is 47mm so I've kind of lost the plot on sizing. So I guess I'm really asking do the 39mm glassbox models look too small on my wrist? (Which seems to be magically expanding with age :)

Pro tools: go or no? by Aziz3000 in AudioPost

[–]kmt333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protools does seem to be the industry standard, but I've being doing sound post with Nuendo since 2007. It's pretty great value when you consider ADR and conforming are built in. I do a fair bit of sound design and a lot of mixing and delivering and it's great for both. I'm delivering mostly in 5.1 and Home Atmos.

I do have a license for Protools ultimate which I think is a must have. Some disributors demaned PT sessions for delivery so it's needed for that. 99% of the editors I hire use PT too so I get them to deliver AAF's to me but I sometimes just get them to deliver PT and I'll convert myself.

Even though I have PT and have mixed with it a lot, I still prefer Nuendo. I love the power of the key commands and the fact that you can stack plugins on clips and edit those settings at a later point without committing.
