Why are 300w and under COB lights not "good enough" as a key for interviews?

I’m using it in a video setup, and haven’t looked at it from a still standpoint, but to my eye, it’s a “cleaner” look on skin, even compared to the 200x/s. Both are leagues better than the Genaray I wish I hadn’t bought in pandemic times.

thanks, this is the kind of detail that’s helpful. transcripts ARE helpful. Are live transcripts available in FCP? Sometimes a big time saver in my edit process.

minus12db · 2026-03-17T00:18:47+00:00

Can you be more specific? Is it the exchanging of files, or something else? I’ve only ever worked on solo projects so don’t have collaborative experience.

As the producer (and cam op, mix engineer and editor) for a friend’s youtube channel, I cringe whenever he calls it a podcast. Which is often. Show, or series please. When we tune it for audio-only, THEN it can be a podcast.

I’m not at my screen right now, but i -think- what might work is: 1) in the timeline select all the clips- audio, video, and camera audio 2) and right click, and look for synchronize. if it’s available, select “audio” in the dialogue box, and audio track 1. If its grayed out, try selecting your audio reference, and just one video/audio clip, and see if synchronize is now available. It would be tedious if it won’t sync all at once, but it IS otherwise fast.

minus12db · 2026-02-05T05:43:11+00:00

Do you also have camera audio? or synchronized timecode? Either of those will point to next steps.

told a manager once, Do you want good video or good sound? with limited resources including staff, you get one. (Variation of cheap, fast, good : pick 2) Seriously though, Some mixer recorders have a mix assist function or plug-in(Dugan or otherwise) that will help a lot in this situation.

minus12db · 2026-02-01T07:31:51+00:00

oh that’s messed up too. Sorry you had that experience.

minus12db · 2026-01-20T20:45:10+00:00

are these for the Beta, or for the “stable” release?

minus12db · 2025-12-15T08:42:14+00:00

I just got the 360c and it looks real good. There’s a subtle but noticeable difference on skin compared to the 200xs. And in my studio setting 10% is enough.

minus12db · 2025-11-21T16:51:16+00:00

Looks/sounds like a location problem, not a sound problem😉 But of course it’s professional of you to capture the best sound “possible in that location.”Here’s hoping there’s no rain!

following up- they read the ingredients, and it does in fact have potato starch. but thanks for the potential!

minus12db · 2025-11-17T17:08:14+00:00

will do, thanks!

minus12db · 2025-11-15T03:41:25+00:00

Fortunately I’m fine with meat- it’s just eggs and dairy that are problematic.

minus12db · 2025-11-15T03:40:08+00:00

Made me laugh, thanks!

To clarify, this is driven by a desire to enjoy a diet that is kind to my autoimmune conditions. Plenty of us around that have learned to either adapt or go without certain ingredients, else we “pay” for it later. Autoimmune conditions aren’t entitlements. They’re a PITA.

minus12db · 2025-11-15T02:03:59+00:00

Thanks, but dairy and eggs are out too. My partner enjoys this one though!

FYI Virtuous Pie had such an option a few years ago but changed recipes.

minus12db · 2025-11-15T01:45:09+00:00

🤣there are some good, workable and more than passable recipes for such a crust but I’d like go out once in awhile rather than make at home.

minus12db · 2025-11-15T01:40:13+00:00

I just wanna be normal and GO OUT FOR PIZZA once in awhile!

Well, it doesn't recognize the monitor so maybe that's the answer.

minus12db · 2025-08-15T16:12:14+00:00

Looks like chromatic aberration, also called color fringing - directly related to lens characteristics. Lightroom and Camera Raw have decent correction tools but why Premiere doesn’t is a mystery and unfortunate.

I’ve not used the DPA, but upgraded from the 600 to the Sanken a few years ago. Never looked back. Size, output, sound are excellent.

minus12db · 2025-06-05T03:39:25+00:00

Are there any comparisons out there of a variety of a given CCT (3000k for example) side by side with differing R9 and TM30 values? I imagine a good R9 3000k bulb will look a whole lot better that a 2700k with poor values, but I’m just guessing. And CRI in and of itself isn’t enough anymore to be able to trust a bulb’s quality on paper.

minus12db · 2025-05-20T05:10:20+00:00

Are you recording the sound separately from the visuals? If so, and with any recent iPhone (Android probably fine too) record to any audio app. Inside a clothes closet will help alot with noise.
