Tuesday night ponderings. Obviously - specs are important - but it's more about staying ahead of application demands - and that's not at the technical ceiling of computing with most apps.

New Arrival! Custom Studio Furniture!!
Переглядів 3,3 тис.Рік тому
So Stoked! New furniture arrival today! After working in this space for a yearish - I realized I wanted more of the fun processing gear in front of me. So, in mid-March, I commissioned www.2egress.com to build some custom racks to flank my primary desk - giving 14U per side ( 2U rear) and providing a worksurface for when the situation calls for it....and is invisible otherwise. The design compl...
4K Video is driving me BANANAS.
Переглядів 4,2 тис.Рік тому
Read me: Apologies in advance, still fine tuning the hardware audio delay to match the camera sensor latency. Audio is prob 10ms-20ms early.. aka 1/4 to 1/2 frame @ 24fps. I’ll get it right :) I honestly thought this flip would have been a 2grand solution on the high side as I have the 4k cameras already, with 4k being in the consumer space for over a decade... But, nope! So I won’t be doing th...

Well - never say never - I'm not a fan of those sequenced jams but here we are.. haha! The MiniMoog Model D is such a grumpy old beast. Kinda like me! Just playing around -with some Moody Moogy Pitchy Pulses. No overdubs, no processing after recording, no EQ... just the raw Model D running through an SSL pre-amp and the PATCH XT pushing it to various outboard gear at the producer's table (all C...

Mac vs PC Build. Unobtainium Achieved?
Nice to see you again, Neil! As a retired audio pro, whatever idea you feel like sharing would be welcome - for instance, how's the Mac Pro situation?
You, get an 8K TV for all those tiny details in Logic Pro
Finally!! Welcome back
beside being super busy with life and work - future video ideas, how has AI affected your work or your opinion on the impact it might have on composers? welcome back!
It can't be a coincidence that I got a McDonald's ad for this video
How dare they try to demonetize a true McDonald's professional! The Atlas music turned out great!
The Euroracks looks cool as !!!
Very important to tickle the algorithm. Look forward to more geekery.
I never knew McDonalds employees schedule had so much ebb and flow.
Nice to have you back buddy!
Glad to hear from you! I’d be very interested in that studio tour. Also, how is the Mac Pro going? Couple years into that investment, just curious if it has given you trouble or if you just don’t notice it because it quietly does the job without fuss.
I just noticed Neil is wearing the same hat and tshirt as he did in the Mac Studio unboxing vid 4 years ago lol
Good eye - buuuuut - same shirt from my Friends band, but a new one as my cat got claw holes in it 😂 and the hat is the same style, but leather and not red :) I’m over 40 … incapable of change 😤😀
Glad to see you're doing well!
Some feelgood content on a monday is always welcome!
TICKLED. Now I want more :D
Wondered what happened. Hopefully AI isn’t invading your business. Take care!
Good to hear, Neill! Very excited about what fun you’ll get up to on here. Be it a new studio tour or more pickle making.
The king is back!!
Hey Neil 🙃 Hi from sunny England
So amazingly - I was in Wales back in May - and it was sunny the entire time. No clouds. I was very confused!!
@@NeilParfittMusic Might be that climate thingy :)
I think your channel could be massively popular if you wanted to ramp it up. If you look at channels like Doctor Mix and Anthony Marrinelli's but yours is slightly more technical and how to on equipment. Perfect fit.
Yeah, but he'd have no time for getting anything else done.
The Mac Pro Man! Yay!
Does the colour of the glasses indicate your level or grumpiness?
I never pieced it together. Yes!! 😂
Hi
hi
Just babble about the past month for 5 minutes every 30 days or so with a bunch of flashihg lights in the background and most of us will be happy enough.
Good to see you still around.
Great to see you chime in.... Miss the content... Peace , Love & Mungbeans from OZ
Welcome back Neil it is very good to see you 😁
Mmmmmmm… I smell French fries…
Good to see you back, Neil! Is the Mac Pro still kicking ass for you?
Yep! No complaints!
Good to hear that the McDonalds-Professional is doing well and can make vacations. Enjoy your life!
Good to see you back!
Glad you are taking care of yourself and are keeping busy! Though i have missed your content. Thanks for giving us all an update <3
Hiiiiiii writing this on my wonderful Mac Pro Rack Xeon, bought at a steep discount from iPowerResale. With it I'm playing Intel games like MSFS 2020 and I'll be starting up a second UA-cam channel with stupid stuff it can do.
Yay - Neil! Good to hear from you. There's so many enticing flashy lights and serious production devices disguised as toys (or is it the other way around?) I can't wait! 🙂
I'm just here for the erratica. 🤣
I've been working on some Bakugan covers🤫
Time is just-a-flyin'!!!! 364 Days?!?!?!? Really... I guess it didn't seem that long to me either, but then I did run into you at NAMM... so there's that. LOL...
Holy crap - and that was 6 months ago!
Looking forward to nerding out on the wiring (the whys, the how) in the studio tour video. If you're allowed, maybe an update about the shows/movies you've done that are already released would be dope.
My algorithm has been tickled. Thanx.
Happy Canada Day!
Heeeeeyyyy!!! It's that guy! Good on you for taking a vacation!
Looking cheerful, Neil. Indeed, this business goes through cycles of Feast or Famine™. Glad you're doing well. 🇨🇦Happy Canada Day!! 🇨🇦
HIIII!
Hi Neil! Consider the algorithm tickled.
I literally thought about this guy's mac 2 days ago.
In the last year my composing has been put on the back burner. Keeping it as a hobby, but I got a new job and changed careers to be an Acoustical Consultant. Learning lots about noise control engineering in mechanical systems and architectural sound isolation.
I wanna see a vid about that!
Hi 👋
Does it need to be an 8 minute video for it to "stay alive"?
what time construct are you living in? it was 3:10 :)
You're my fav pandemic distraction! 🦠 🤪
