Re: New Video Camera

Thanks for the advice all. I'm starting to feel the pull towards a Zoom Q8, Q8-N, or Q2N. I've considered the Rebel, but I start to worry about having to learn too many features that I just won't have the patience for.

Have I mentioned how much I miss my Flip Video?

New Video Camera

Hi All, I'm starting to think about making videos for the upcoming Songfight Live Online and looking into new video cameras. It seems like every year I'm bouncing between cameras, cell phones, and whatever I've amassed over the years to find an easy way to film myself. I've done a bit of research an...

Re: SF Live! Online Edition 2022

We used a Google form to have folks submit their videos and info last year. I thought that worked well. If you pm me a Gmail email I can share it with you so you can reuse it if you'd like.

Re: The Bear

This show is really good. I'm not sure why they call it a comedy. It is intense, chaotic, and charming. Highly recommended if you watch a lot of cooking competitions on Food Network like I do.

Re: Community Check-In and Feedback

I've been thinking a bit lately that having so many places for community like Slack and Discord dilute these message boards. Are we sure we want to move away from this, or am I just being old fashioned?

Re: USB transport and/or mixer controller

Some of my googling pointed to being able to map anything in Cubase to midi, so you could also buy a midi foot pedal or use a keyboard to trigger different functions. I expect this depends on how big of a problem this is and how much energy/money you are willing to spend to solve it. I was going to ...

It looks like Cubase does still have an iOS app: https://www.steinberg.net/cubase-ic-pro/ I know you don't have an iPhone, but maybe you've got an iPad lying around?

Re: USB transport and/or mixer controller

I vaguely remember being jealous of one that @JB had that was wireless, so you could take those controls away from your computer while you were recording. I want to say it was called Tranzport or something clever like that.

Re: USB transport and/or mixer controller

I kind of forget why I stopped using it, but either it had issues or it just got in the way. Maybe I ran out of USB ports? I still have it, but I haven't added it to my current set up. I'd probably be just as happy if I could map those functions to my keyboard. Hell, maybe those functions already ar...

Re: USB transport and/or mixer controller

I used a Presonus Faderport for a while and really enjoyed the external transport controls. I couldn't get into the fader or any of the fancier features.
