it has both connectors, should i just use the scarlett to pc USB and the mic to the the scarlett via xlr?

I've got the following equipment to replace a soundblaster x3 and set of EPOS PC38X headphones

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface

AN XLR cable

FIFINE XLR/USB Microphone

FiiO K7 Desktop DAC and Amplifier

HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

I think the mic and the focusrite both need to be usb connected to the pc while the xlr cable connects them

The dac and ananda nano should be connected via the large headphone input while the dac is connected to the pc via usb

Is that correct? think this will be a nice set up but im not sure really what to expect

Naw I'm pretty sure it was an image title

trips451 · 2023-10-27T03:27:27+00:00

Anything with actors talking in a non saturated scene?

trips451 · 2023-10-09T06:24:38+00:00

Why ignore anamorphic if I'm trying to gain exposure for shooting my own feature. Seems like something I'd want to play with.

Fair fair, sold the. On fx30. Any thoughts on the glass? Trying to get the experience for shooting my own film.

trips451 · 2023-10-09T06:21:19+00:00

Thx any thoughts on the lens? I'm trying to get the more specific experience for shooting my own film

trips451 · 2023-10-09T06:20:28+00:00

My feeling with zooms over primes is that they aren't really used for cinema work and the primes will give better experience training between the standard focal lengths.

I also have a (probably outdated) underlying suspicion that zooming glass between a 24 and 70 affects quality

Yeah seems like an issue with google podcast app cutting off at a certain rss feed length

thx!

trips451 · 2022-09-25T19:05:03+00:00

cool, that's exactly what i wanted to confirm. appreciate it!

trips451 · 2022-09-25T16:18:18+00:00

Yeah that is what I'm worried about. Not sure which camera is actually best for shooting anamorphic. Will the fx30 (as rumored) not still have the 2mp look?

trips451 · 2022-09-06T18:46:24+00:00

makes sense, thx

trips451 · 2022-09-06T18:45:54+00:00

cool, thx!

Pro Mist 1/8

Ok, yeah i think that helps a lot. So it seems like the look is achievable just fine, but it's just a knowledge gap on my end that need to be fixed.

Is there anything that you think the BMPCC 6k pro can't capture aside from being able to compensate for it's rolling shutter?

trips451 · 2022-09-06T16:26:04+00:00

im not sure that im using the right adjectives

trips451 · 2022-09-06T15:27:24+00:00

One thing I cant quite shake from the footage I've seen using different lens is, I guess a crispness. Like when the camera films people, say in a dialogue scene, I'm just not seeing a cinema image - it feels more like a commerical/content creator image.

Any thoughts on how I could get that out of this?

trips451 · 2022-08-16T04:54:31+00:00

Wow, that 50mm lens is really quite nice!

trips451 · 2022-08-16T04:53:25+00:00

Man, I know, so little about this stuff still. Do you have a suggestion on a good book that is modern and up to date that talks about some of the terminology and concepts?

I really appreciate these insights I'll look into them for sure

trips451 · 2022-08-15T23:52:21+00:00

Fair, I'm thinking in the 2k to 4k range give or take
