Building podscan.fm and podline.fm in Public. Raising all the boats with kindness.
I use WhisprFlow for all my prompting, brainstorming, and note-taking. Otter .ai for conversations, calls, and longer sessions. But WhisprFlow with a keyboard shortcut, or, if you want to be SPECTACULARLY nerdy, the Stream Deck Pedal (non-ironically, it's amazing)
Neat! I got the Amaran lights here too, and I recommend getting a Light Dome that fits them, it's great for diffusion :)
I got the Rodecaster v1 and it's amazing. I hear even better things about the v2 and the recently released smaller version. Onboard amp, EQ, Noise Gate, high pass and the Aphex stuff is really good. And recording a backup stream directly to SD is chefs kiss.
There, it joins the audio from a @shure SM7B that goes into a @rodemics Rodecaster Pro.
For video, I run a @Sony A7C with a Sigma 24mm lens into a @AtomosGlobal Ninja V and then via @elgato Camlink into a Mac Mini.
I talk into an Elgato Prompter and am surrounded by 3 @AputureLighting lights: an Amaran 100, some other, (forgot, lol) and an Infinibar PB6.
The fun part: the DJI mic pictured here allows for an actual lapel mic with a cable to be plugged in and still have the whole thing be wireless. Get an under-shirt small mic and plug it in. Magic.
Did some upgrading in the studio. The ceiling rail mounting system is now in place, holding most of my lights. I'll be adding a few more things (mics and cameras) to this over time. So much more space to walk with the clunky light stands out of the way.
With the ZV-1, I had an always-on HDMI-based setup. No need to do the USB data thing. My USB only charged the camera, which I never turned off and thus didn't have to change zoom settings. Grabbed a capture card and a microHDMI cable and BOOM. HD video, never needed to touch the camera, could even mount a prompter and use an iPad beneath it.
When I got my Matic, I knew that it was a different beast than any other vacuum I had ever owned, and NOW I know why. So cool to see the founders behind such incredible tech also be so liberal with sharing their learnings. (Also, it's the best vacuum I ever owned.)
all I want is easy access to the vinyl albums! I got the player, just lack the plastic discs :D
Been quite happy with my gaming chair. Big enough that I can sit in shrimp mode if needed, and built for 10h+ gaming sessions, so it's very comfy.
For me, the control of having an indoor treadmill makes all the difference. I can step off and have a drink. I can look weird and run badly without judgment. I can pace myself as much as I want.
We have a projector in our basement, the Apple TV is hooked up directly to that via HDMI and to a sound bar via audio cables. We have no TVs in the house, so that's the “entertainment base station” for all our Netflix/Disney+/whatever needs.
