Premiere audio breaking MacBook Pro speakers

[Bernard Newnham] “how do you manage to do serious editing on a laptop”

Does this help?
(Waiting for client notes and taking it easy today!)  

Pretty sure in F – I have enough separate screens to look at!
Interface – Client/Program – iPad for script or browser as needed – iPhone for live client chat, lookup, web research, etc.

There’s actually a serious point here. Like most, I spent a LONG time in an “office” setup back when the only way to get a smooth editing experience was via big hardware and shore power. Since my transition to FCP X – I’ve consistently found that I have had an incredibly smooth and reliable edit platform just relying on my MacBook Pro FCP X and the kit I can stow in a single briefcase.
Seriously, 4k proxy multi-cam is easy — and my deadlines are such that an occasional overnight render for a full rez HUGE project at the end of weeks of smooth editing just isn’t a problem for me.

YMMV as they say.

You look much younger than I imagined Bill!

Bernard, it can be ghastly, but with the right materials, they can be delightful. You need to try a freshly-prepared Cozy-Dog one day; accept no substitutes. Corn dogs here are much like fish and chips over there. Not good for you, but good, dig?

Also, considering some of the culinary monstrosities that Great Britain has shown the world, do you really want to “go there”? 🙂

Some of those might be foods or Harry Potter characters, who can tell the difference. They all look nasty.

Any software that generates a full volume square wave for long enough time will blow the speakers. Are you suggesting that Apple should have code that analyzes the audio waveform that software is sending through the audio hardware and then stops it? That would be insane.

The comparison to the graphics card is a bad one. Graphics information stays in the digital realm the whole time. Audio is different because it is analog. That’s what blew the speakers.

Spit take.

Woah woah woah.

You can’t insult toad in the hole. It’s a sausage in Yorkshire pudding. Food of the gods. Yorkshire pudding is literally a staple food.

Same goes for scotch eggs – a soft boiled egg, wrapped in sausage meat that is filled with herbs and then dusted with breadcrumbs before being deep fried. Biting through sausage meat into a runny egg yolk is not unpleasant.

And yes, I like a nice corn dog and chilli dog too.
