Excellent advice, Curtis! Sure, there are some legitimate reasons as to why you might need to upgrade gear, but more often than not, you really need to step back and ask yourself if it's going to solve any real problems and are these "problems" real or just perceived? Heck, I'm just as guilty of Gear Acquisition Syndrome as the next guy! More often than not, the answer is just improve your technique and learn to better use the gear you own right now. Great commentary/content as always!

what is the samsung usb thats pluged into the mixpre3?

Thanks for that great review, do you know if it will work on a aputure LS 60 with its bowensmount adapter?

It is a great system but one of it weakest points is the 3.5 mic jack input, it breaks easily

Thanks Curtis for this free videocourse! I just started this course and will check your other products. You use teachable as plattform. Can you recommend? Compared to selfhost with learndash? Pro cons?

I'm sold on the NTG5. Can't wait to get it.

The lesson is locked on my end.

What a simple, nice video Curtis. Subscribed now with my new channel! 😉👍🏻👍🏻

I have been back an forth debating on whether to buy the duo or the Mackie and after this video I’m leaning Mackie for the simplicity

Wow! Thank you, Curtis! I've been looking to add streaming services to my list of offerings, and this is perfect timing. I just received the Osee HDMI/SDI switcher/streamer, but it's still in the box while I figure out how to use it. Thank you so much! I took your course on Adobe Audition years ago, and I still use everything I learned in that video to this day!

Good luck!

This is great. Thank you, sir, for this. I look forward to seeing this, and I'm sure it will help with the questions I have.

When would the extra 18db be used ? How often have you used the extra db that a recorder like the mixpre 10ii has over the mixpre 6ii? I will be also using the dpa 4017b in the future for outdoor work and dpa 6060

Quality as always

Thanks Curtis for this initiative. Really appreciate it and grateful for the same.🙏

Thanks. Does the Mackie automix across all channels. E.g ducking bedding/FX with your vocal? Can you set priorities?

I have a bunch of recorders, but the X8 is probably the one I would keep if ai had to part all but one. It is a very good concept and gives you the most versaitility. A variety of inputs, a lot of ways you can attach mics to the recorder body. You also get a lot of functionality: it is a mixing board, a DSP processor, a mobile podcast studio. It can record 24 and 32 bit simultaneously. It has control apps for both iOS and Android. As audio interface it works both 24 or 32 bit now. Very- very close to perfect for my needs. And I am happy with the audio quality as well. Having said that I also have an F3 and an F8n Pro, and a few more. The X8 stacks up nicely. There are a few things in the software that could be improved on, but recording quality is on par. The only thing I find misleading is the headphone amplifier which is quity noisy. I thought it was preamp noise, but no, the recording is clean, just there is too much hiss in the headphones.

Thank you so much for this. Zebra Zone (idk if you've heard of him) made an insane streaming video.

Nice. Now I can direct people asking me to teach them to take first dive to Your material and continue from there if they still are interested😊

Curtis, thank you, can you create one for singers as well, there are many tutorials available for streamers but I’ve come across none for singers, I am sure it will benefit many singers, thanks!

That’s really appreciated. It is a very big field with so many choices for beginners. A good and modern guide will not only help people save money, but hassle, and weight.

Hi Curtis, firstly, thank you for your amazingly useful videos. You are always my first port of call if I have a question. I have recently changed from a lav. Mic to the Rode NTG. I do painting tutorials with an overhead camera and I intend to have the NTG above my head. I am recording into a Zoom H5 using the XLR input. I am used to using the dials on the H5 to set my levels so that they don’t clip. Do I need to use the ‘gain’ control on the back of the NTG and if so, what does it do that the H5 is not doing already? I hope this makes sense. I have very little knowledge of using audio but have always managed up to now, probably more from luck! Thank you Curtis.

Nice nails Curtis.

Excellent video, Curtis! Thank you for introducing me to this system. I was actually searching for a wireless transmitter/receiver setup for use with my MixPre 3 (original non-32-bit float version). I'm now wondering if the THEOS transmitter alone could completely replace the MixPre for non-timecode required applications where talent mobility via a discreet body pack would be needed. Especially since the THEOS has 32-bit float capability. Not sure if you have any thoughts on using the THEOS this way. Cheers!

Fantastic video Curtis. I think you hit the nail on the head about how things work AND how being succinct and respecting people’s time is not conducive to long term success within this current algorithmic landscape. I think moving the summary to the end is a great idea and will hopefully improve watch time and get your incredible content in front of more eyes.

I have used the Tascam in my sound work all the time. TBH, I prefer the sound of a shotgun mic, but what I tell my clients is I love giving them a choice; so I mic up the talent with the Tascam and boom mic the scene. I love redundancy. I have never heard any complaints about the sound from the Tascam. Wonder why Tascam doesn’t give full power to the lavs. Maybe cost, maybe as you said, they've optimized their lavs. I agree, the Tascam lavs are fine. Also, they take a fair amount of abuse. I don't baby my equipment.

Curtis, you're the king! Thanks for all of your reviews. You can't imagine how often you've helped me!

Dude, haven’t seen your channel in years! Dude! You still pull baddies and make quality content! 😊

Be yourself, keep going. We are diehard fans of yours. Thanks

does anyone know if the screw on the transmitter works nice with other lav microphones?

Thanks for the video.

This isn't meant as a jab, bit it's really strange that most of the issues you're teaching people to fix in this video, are present in your voiceover explaining it. Do you not apply these same tips to your own audio?

how would it compare to a Sony ECM-VG1 ? Thanks

I have this Mikei would like to know if like recording using my mobile phone if I use my AirPod has an headphone to monitor audio will it work ?

Hey Curtis! Thank you for what you do, this is an awesome resource. I currently have the Rodecaster Duo, but I do not like the DSP solution, I feel like the compression and the make-up gain does not actually do the job that well at all and I struggle to achieve the sound I really want out of the DSP, I see that the DLZ units offer much more expansion on the actual processing side which is awesome; however, is it a good implementation in comparison to what Rode offers on their side? I would love to know your thoughts on this, thank you for reading and keep doing what you do it has helped me and so many others out there!

Too bad this can't work on 120 fps.

hi im trying to edit in a one poly track and then open the clips after edit so my timeline is cleaner

I recorded a few clips on an SD card but it would not play on my Mac. Is there a reason for that?

The constant touching of the microphones without explanation caused me to stop watching this video.

Hi Curtis. Thanks for this awesome review! It was very informative. What “pack” were you using when you did your range test? The SLXD1? I’m curious to see what the range of the SLXD3 is using the various mA settings, 1mA, 10mA, and 30mA? Thank you!

Could this mic work with a Tentacle sync field recorder?

After watching your videos, I don't need a summary, as you have already revealed the content. I retain the info much better having heard (and seen) it from you, rather than reading a paragraph on the screen. A printed summary is redundant and a bit tedious to read.
