Analog Audio monitor

[Bob Zelin]

YES. You must monitor the Decklink output. If you continue to use the internal speakers of the MAC, I will have to kill you. (of course, if you do not mind being out of sync with your video, go right ahead and use your internal MAC speaker – besides, that 1″ speaker in the MAC sounds REALLY good). I don’t know what Decklink card you have – some only have SPDIF outputs, and some have analog outputs. At $59 US for a set of Behringer MS-16 powered speakers, if you simply refrain from that one hit of crack for the afternoon, you can afford to get these. If you only have the SPDIF output, I just saw the Edirol’s on sale for Christmas for $99, and these have the SPDIF input.

Ha ha ha! 🙂

I was actually after using some analogue monitors to monitor through XLR, but once I factored in the cost of all the conversion that would be needed I started looking at SPDIF monitors and whilst the Edirols look useable, for a little more Behringer make some good ones (by the look of them..) MS40’s I think…and Roland do the DS5’s for about

Thanks for the replies. Normally I monitor through the onboard computer audio. I generally work with scratch tracks and it has been fine. I wanted to be capture through the decklink and monitor through the pc on board audio. What I did was used the XLR outputs and hooked them up through my monitor so that is working for the time being. I’ll look in to those speakers but I ain’t giving up my afternoon crack hit!

Bob,

Are you writing from a prison cell somewhere?

It’s a dry heat!

[Bob Zelin]

why, can you get me out of here ?

(I’ll be in beautiful Tempe in April 2007, before NAB, so you better look out !).

Merry Christmas

Speaking of prison Mr. Wargo, aren’t you down the road from that prison on the way to Tucson, Arizona, right near that ostridge farm ? I went to pet those ostridges, and they almost killed me.

Here is a great picture of that farm, where the sign says “not responsible for accidents” –
