I have a Dell Ultrasharp 24” that I bought about 10 years ago for $750. It stills works great! If the new one is anything like the old one, it’s definitely worth what they are charging for it now.

[Jeremy Garchow] “1600%, theoretically.”
So you are maxing out at less than 40% CPU capacity. I’m pondering a Mac Pro purchase, but can’t afford the 8-core. Looking at the 6-core D700 config.

[Jeremy Garchow] “CPU hovers around 4-600% when playing back through that malaise”
I’m not sure how to interpret that. Would 8 cores max out at 800%?

[Jeremy Garchow] “Real time mixed res multicam (4k and 1080) in a 1080 timeline with 18 channels of available audio, a chromakey, with multiple grades, with scale and crop on video layers, two stacked, keyframed, and animated layers of type, all in real time, in full quality (best quality not better performance) SDI to a monitor, using native XAVC MXF media (not ProRes or Proxy). Not one render, background or otherwise, until export.
8 core, dual 700s.”
How much of that is CPU, how much is GPU and how much is drive speed? And I want exact percentages 😉

[Steve Kownacki] “Clients give me their number over the phone so no swipe, which increased the rate to 3.5%. For these clients, they do plenty of other work with me so the fee is no big deal; but it is $35 on a $1000 sale. That’s a huge fee if you’re not expecting to be paid this way.”
Steve: If you send them an email invoice from your Square account, then the fee goes down to 2.75%.

I ended up signing up for a Square account (free and easy). I sent the client an invoice generated in Square. They were still having problems paying online, (IT problems or operator error?) so they forwarded the email invoice to me and I input the CC info they had already given me. The next day I had the money in my account! The 2.75% fee is better than PayPal’s 2.9% + .30.

[Ty Ford] “You might also put two locked down booms between 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 and split track them.”
That is a great idea! Although I wouldn’t know a really good cardioid from a bad one (other than by price). I have a Samson Q7 (inexpensive) and an old Beyerdynamic M500N (inherited).

[Eric Toline] “Without knowing what mics you are using, you can do very well with 2 wider pattern mics like cardioids. You will hinder yourself with shotgun type microphones. “
Thanks, Eric. Often in single person interviews, I will use a shotgun mic; mostly because it’s the best mic I have.

[John Davidson] “that amazing super wide 4k Thunderbolt 2 LG display I’ve been drooling over.”
Ditto!
[John Davidson] “If you can want until WWDC in a week or two, who knows what might come out?”
I didn’t realize that was coming up. Definitely worth waiting for!
