Making my way through TMNT2012 and just watched Tale of Tiger Claw. Was super eager to learn more about their backstory, and 'cheated' by looking at the wiki page... only to learn she only appears in that single episode and we're left with no conclusion to her story?! 😱

So Alopex says Tiger Claw ruined her life, got them transformed, and possibly killed their parents.

But Tiger Claw says they stepped into a random dimensional portal where they got experimented upon, came back as mutants, couldn't go back to their normal lives, ended up turning to crime and becoming assassins... then Alopex just suddenly turned on him.

So their stories don't fully align. Best I can tell, either Tiger Claw isn't being truthful (he actually orchestrated everything), or Alopex has misunderstood or been manipulated by someone (someone wanting Tiger Claw dead feeding her lies about Tiger Claw being responsible for their abduction and their parents' death).

Any thoughts on this? I'm guessing there hasn't been any official answers from show runners?

I have a Pluggy XLR, and while I overall think it's very neat, it gets a bit noisy when when I'm recording quiet audio.

I was looking at alternatives (that don't get crazy expensive), and I was curious if the Line Audio Omni1 is any better. Does anyone have any experience with it? Would it be an upgrade compared to the Pluggy, or would it pretty much be the same – or worse?

Thanks! Would love to hear some thoughts and experiences.

I own the DXP2800 and I've been curious about synchronized folders and how exactly they can work – and not work. More specifically, if they can work over multiple devices.

I'm considering if the following would work:

I have a folder on my laptop of projects I'm actively working on. I make it synchronized on the NAS, and changes I make there will also be made to the NAS folder. If I change a file, delete a file, it'll happen both places (with a bit of delay, of course).

I make the folder also synchronized on my stationary computer, where I might also work on the same projects. Changes that has been done to files in the folder on the laptop will also get updated on the stationary computer, and vice versa – thanks to the NAS.

So it would work similar to certain cloud storage options.

Is this possible through the UGREEN NAS? Having a folder be synchronized on a laptop, a stationary computer, and on the NAS itself? Would it lead to complications when e.g. the stationary computer is off, and changes are being done to the folder on the laptop?

Thanks!

I had planned on using the Rødecaster Video S for some music streams. That means connecting a mixer to get all my audio in.

I was disappointed it didn't have a stereo line-in port, but doing research, I was told that you at least could use the two XLR inputs as a stereo pair. Not ideal, as I would have loved to have had the Rødecaster processing the vocal audio, then had an external mixer for all the instruments. But instead, I'd have to make the microphone be a part of the mixer's audio chain. Not ideal, but tolerable.

Now that I own it and am able to look at the settings, there are no actual options to make the two XLR inputs into a stereo pair.

So what's a good (or the best) way to get a stereo signal from a mixer into the Rødecaster Video S? The mixer would likely be the Zoom LiveTrak L6 in this case.

Thank you!

Does anyone have any recommended covers for microphones and recorders? When you don't want to pack everything up and want it to be available easily for more recording, but you want to minimize the dust gathering (and protect from accidental spillage, e.g. if carrying a cup of tea around). What do y'all use?

So far, I've just used small plastic bags. But I'm worried they could be prone to static, and I'm curious if there are good options out there for these purposes.

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions!

How do you access the audio voice effects with the Rødecaster Video S?

By which I mean: reverb, echo, deep voice, robot voice, etc.

Been trying to find them, but only found options for EQ, compression, and so forth. Not any of the effects. Thanks!

Trying to learn how things work in the RødeCaster Video and the Scene Builder app.

Been trying to find settings to change the coloration of video inputs, but no luck so far. Nothing too complex, but adjusting the brightness, gamma, sharpness, saturation, etc. As sometimes you need to change the look of a live video feed input through the software.

Is this possible to do? If so, where/how can you do this?

I'd consider it a simple and essential feature for live video streaming tools, but already been very surprised by the lack of a rotate/flip feature for scene building.

Thanks!

New to RØDECaster Video S and been trying to get things set up. Have a pretty basic question, the solution might be obvious, but it's been driving me bananas.

How can I rotate/flip a camera feed or scene in the Scene Builder?

It's pretty essential for overhead shot footage, where you often have a camera mounted over your desk from behind your desk.

Thanks!

My current mesh hubs are the Deco X20 v1.20.

Would there be any issues getting e.g. some X20 v3.0 hubs and adding them to the mesh network? Would it operate the same? Or would there be any issues between the units?

I've read some that there are app differences between versions, so no idea how that would work if you have multiple hardware versions.

Thanks!

I'm still trying to understand 96 Khz audio.

I've been recording at 96 Khz with my Zoom F3, as I was under the impression that would lead to better results when you're slowing down audio, giving you more data to work with and decreasing the degradation when you go far with decreasing the speed.

But! From what I'm now understanding, it's only relevant if you have a microphone that can record ultrasonic frequencies beyond 48 Khz. As what you're really doing when recording at 96 Khz, is recording frequencies humans normally can't hear – but you can start to hear them if you're doing things like audio stretcing/slow down.

So it's useless to record at 96 Khz unless you have a microphone that records beyond 48 Khz, as it's not actually capturing any additional data (and that additional data is what would be used when slowing things down).

With my current microphone arsenal being fairly pedestrian (Shure SM58, Røde NT1 Signature Series, Pluggy XLR, and LineAudio CM4), I'm guessing I should stick to recording at 44.1 or 48 Khz rather than bloating up the file sizes while not capturing any additional data.

Have I understood things correctly?
