14: Allan Tépper gives out three awards from the 48 kHz Alliance, with audible acceptance comments in some cases:

  • Chris Curran of Podcast Engineering School, whose show is distributed at 48 kHz as of several episodes.
  • RØDECaster Pro, which works exclusively with our standard 48 kHz sampling rate, and with 24-bit resolution too. See several RØDEcaster Pro articles in ProVideo Coalition, and here is the B&H link.
  • Hindenburg Journalist Pro, Allan Tépper’s favorite multitrack editing software for audio storytellers on conventional computers like Mac and Windows. Get a free trial and discount here.

Then Curtis Judd of Learn Light and Sound joins Allan Tépper to give each one’s opinions about how the RØDECaster Pro performs as an automatic mixer, even though it is not marketed as one. They also talk about the RØDECaster Pro in general, and the very few details they’d like changed.

On BeyondPodcasting episode 4, Allan Tépper converses with Cielo de la Paz (in English) about Adobe’s new Project Rush cross-platform app, how it compares with LumaFusion and other software and hardware for mobile audio and video production. Cielo de la Paz is an award winning multimediographer and the creator of The Storyographist.

  • Project Rush cross platform (first article here) vs LumaFusion (several articles here) being potentially more advanced. Motion graphics, camera app in Project Rush, Raw/Log mode in LumaFusion with raw/log mode. FiLMiC Pro’s (several articles here) raw/log mode and integration with DJ Osmo gimbal. Multiple framerates.
  • How long of a project can be easily edited on tablet or smartphone?
  • Using a tablet or smartphone with a large, external matte monitor to get more screen real estate and reduce glare. LumaFusion’s new external program output feature.
  • What’s the best size for a tablet for editing?
  • Using an iPad with a trackpad (i.e. Apple Magic Trackpad). This currently requires jailbreak. However, several features that previously required jailbreaking were later embraced by Apple, i.e. unlocked iPhone and lowercase keyboard display on iOS.
  • Matte (anti-glare) display or screen protector. iCarez and PaperLike (to be reviewed soon).
  • Potential pricing of Project Rush.
  • Rigs: Joby GorrillaPod Mobile Rig (Amazon), iOgrapher, Padcaster.
  • Using single or multi microphones with mobile devices: Y versus multitrack versus automix mixers.
  • Pronunciation of Californian places used to name macOS operating systems and its relation to languages: Tagalog, the most spoken Philippine language and Castilian, the world’s most widely used Spanish language.

  • RØDE M5 microphone (Amazon — B&H) to be reviewed soon, used by Allan Tépper.
  • Shure A81WS enormous windscreen/pop filter (Amazon — B&H) covered in many articles and used in countless US presidential inaugurations.
