Thanks! Glad you found this helpful. Best of luck on your workflow. 🤘

Are you able to find a M1 Pro within the same budget. I’d just be concerned that if you’re really wanting to use AE on the air that you would be making some compromises.

I filmed this on a camera.

@@KevinRossRN oh ok, thanks brother. Been trying to figure out how folks do the lives on their laptop and what type of mics are needed.I started doing song requests and dedications on my lives but I only have a phone and no mic with no screen saver. Just a dark screen

You can certainly use the mic from the video and just plug it directly into the computer for better sound. Your cell phone camera is likely going to be better quality, so you can even get an adapter and also plug a microphone into that for a livestream.

@@KevinRossRN thank you brother!

@OldieTunes my pleasure.

No, 16GBs. I’d honestly recommend the extra memory for this type of work flow. Many people test these with base specs, but after you have the machine on and several apps running, you’re going to be experiencing some throttling. These machines are efficient, but for heavier tasks it’s really best to invest in a bit more memory if you want a solid experience.

I should do a video on this, but I did (somewhat) touch on this in this video: ruclips.net/video/sPKCmXeHhCI/видео.html Starting at about 8:15 in the video and then I show a workflow later on. Basically, before you get into the podcast content and you have your video recording and the audio being recorded, you just count down 3-2-1 and then clap. You’ll then sync up those spiked waveforms from the clap.

What camera codec are you using, which Mac (specs), and are you using FCPX?

@@KevinRossRN thank you for replying! Please help me out lmao. I’m using the M1 8GB iMac, and i believe the codec for FCP is H.264 something like that? i also just ordered the M3 pro MacBook.

@ArmyBarbie Well, that base model iMac (unfortunately) is going to struggle a bit. As far as the codec, just wondering about the camera footage. Also, are you doing a rough cut first, and then going back and adding effects? Also, have you tried transcoding the footage first in FCPX? It’ll take a little time to do depending on how long the timeline is, but it should help it run smoother. As far as the M3, it should chew through the timeline. Did you at least add a little extra memory to your build?

@@KevinRossRN yes i got the 18GB 512SSD i hope that’s enough. I didn’t understand computer specs before buying the iMac, so now it collects dust smh. I’m filming in 4K using the Sony ZV-E1. I use proxy on my 8GB MacBook and it works but takes days to edit 😂 so hopefully this new MacBooks works better. Is there anything i could do to the iMac?

@ArmyBarbie That codec should be pretty efficient to work with. I think when these machines first came out they were “screaming” through these timelines when compared with their predecessors. Aside from working with proxies and transcoding the footage before, just make sure you’re minimizing any other demands on the machine (closing other programs) due to that 8GBs of memory. With the constant iteration of these video editors they offer more features, but start to demand more from the machine. That spec of MBP should be just fine. It really should be a night and day experience because of the video processing capability in that particular chipset.

Thanks for sharing, and yes, there’s definitely a hang up with that Apple Silicon (specifically) hardware that seems to present with problems. I’m still using this hub today, but generally just for display, audio, and some accessories.

What kind of video are you working with? And what about photos?

@@KevinRossRN I do sports photography. I just take pictures that I edit in Lightroom and videos that last about 1 minute. So nothing so special, but I would still like to have a powerful laptop on the go, even if I'm on vacation or something, for example.

The extra memory will certainly help with Lightroom. It’s what I use and it’ll take a good portion of it. The quick videos will be fine on the MBA. The advantage of the MBP is the fan and that thermal envelope. For sustained workflows you’ll notice a difference, but with the shorter videos I doubt you’d even have that concern. Honestly I often recommend going with a little more memory. I don’t know anyone that has regretted it. I still use my M2 MBA every day and do some light editing from time to time. I still haven’t upgraded my M1 MBP because everything I’ve thrown at it, it just tears right through it. But again, for your use case right now, the MBA.

@@KevinRossRN Really thank you very much, for the quick response. I think I'll choose the macbook air :)

@kathi_ille it’s my pleasure to help. Sending my best on your future workflow.

Now the Podtrak is a great piece of equipment. I love my Zoom H6. Very versatile.

On the computer you should be fine to record 2 hours, however the iOS version the limit is 64 minutes.

As far as the stabilization is concerned?

@@KevinRossRN Yes.

@@KevinRossRN I'm taking my family to Hawaii at the end of June and am afraid I'm going to screw up our photos, lol. I'm a beginner and just need to make sure I get quality photos b/c we may not go back to Hawaii. I need to make this count.

Totally understand. Are you using this same camera and lens?

@@KevinRossRN I’m currently using a Tamron 18-300, which has stabilization.

Well I am glad you found me. Happy to have helped.

Glad to help. Thank you 🤘

In the video description I have the exact setup listed under External SSDs. I have two of the identical setups. They’ve been very reliable.

You can use your iPad without an audio interface if it’s just you. You can certainly do a lot with what you have.

I would recommend just recording separately with the camera. Then, you’d take the audio tracks from the iPad and the video from the camera and drop all of those into a video editor. You’d remove the audio from the camera because the built in mic isn’t going to sound good at all, but it’s great to use it as a reference for the better quality you’re getting from the interface and iPad. Hopefully that makes sense.

Ha! Well, I think I’m a pretty good human, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about. 😀🤘

@@KevinRossRN good qualities

@petehboy2 I agree.

Just happy to help. Best of luck 🤘

You don’t install it. You plug it in. There is no upgradeable storage (internally) on these machines after it’s built.

@@KevinRossRN so im fucked and wasted all my money is what your saying im a student man I can't afford anything

@@KevinRossRN is there a way to desolder and desolder a new ssd

If you have one of the M-series chipsets, that’s pretty much a no go. Some have tried on the M1 Mac mini, but you’re definitely at risk for bricking the machine.

Totally. Even with the updates in iOS where the programs are able to use more, I still think 8 would be fine.

Whoa! That’s awesome. I’ve had a couple Nikon bodies for photos and loved them. It’s so interesting though because I do find myself just using what I have with me, which is my phone. It’s amazing how far we’ve come with these devices.

Well, you’re keeping the app on the internal, which takes about 3GBs, but all of the bundled media and really the bulk of what you’re working will live in the SSD, and I haven’t ever had any issues with speed.

@@KevinRossRN and what if i also move the entire application file to the external SSD?

@aminesmaeilnia you could, I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’ll really depend on that drive because the program will still be trying to access the internal and there’s going to be a bit of a bottleneck there.

Well, because it’s not just the advertised speed of the NVMe in the enclosure, but the communication protocol and the point of failure which is that it’s connected externally and not soldered to the board. However, it can still be a viable option for many use cases. I have many external enclosures that are still going strong.

The Pro all the way. If you’re going to be using this for video editing, you’re going to want that fan and that larger thermal capability. I love these MBAs…I’ve actually been using mine all day, however for non-intensive tasks that is. I’m still rocking with the M1 MBP and it hasn’t slowed down.

@@KevinRossRN Understood, thank you very much for the quick response. The price difference is $460, do you think it's worth adding? And it's no problem if it's a refurbished MBP ?

@les6326 Well, I should have asked where you’re getting the refurbished from because I’ve personally gotten refurbished computers directly from Apple and I couldn’t tell a difference, and I tried really hard to find anything that would indicate it wasn’t “new.”

It is my absolute pleasure 🤘

You mean what you would talk about?

listening to people's stories in public areas, while sitting on the ground or parcs' tables, where there is so much noise.

I think podcasting outside would be great. I’ve done it a few times. So, are you worried about the noise?

@@KevinRossRN yes, and the electrical charging, material...

@ritakossaife1210 well the handheld recorder I’m using in this video (in the description) runs on batteries.

Do you have this exact model or have they since upgraded? And yeah, it’s all about testing/experimenting. It takes time, but it should help you figure out your settings. Sending my best. 🤘

@@KevinRossRN I have the exact model just before covid, now I actually kick start my channel and make some videos, I have background noise issue that I don’t have enough tech skills to deal with 🙈

@alsoelizabethyu_ Yeah, when we were all at home it really gave me some opportunities to experiment. Which video editor are you using? Some of the built in audio effects have been really helpful to get rid of the noise.

Thanks! So have you tested it with AE yet? As far as the OSMO those compressed files are probably going to give the machine a run, but you should be able to scrub through your timeline. The base model will hit that swap pretty quick, which you won’t notice until you start adding more to the timeline and then sprinkle in those effects…and of course if you’re running any other applications. I still use this device daily, but not so much for creative work. I may run some Lightroom or photoshop every now and again, but I will say that I’ve typically run several browsers with a hundred+ tabs open and the 16GBs hasn’t let me down. The extra was worth it for me and I don’t think many people have said they got too much memory. It helps.

@@KevinRossRN Funnily I just got off the phone with the retailers who told me they could not swap it with a 16G. So, I guess I will have to push the 8GB as much as I can... Thanks for the reply.

@orthochristos Oh, that’s a bummer. Well, it’ll still be a great machine. I’m sure you will be able to get this device to handle your workflow. I’ll be curious to hear how it’s all going for you when you get a chance to take it for a spin.

@@KevinRossRN I'll post once I try AE on it.

@orthochristos yeah, that’s the one I’m curious about. I know that Adobe has been trying to make this suite more efficient on these chips. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you.

Do you have a particular budget in mind?

@@KevinRossRN $400

@zedashc I did a review on this monitor, and I still use the super ultra wide and this 27 inch monitor every day: geni.us/INNOCN27

They should all be different. I just double checked.

Congrats on the podcast. Happy to have helped. So, I did do a video on this, but can’t recall the exact one. If you’re still recording the audio through the interface to the iPad and then the iPhone video is separate, I assume you have a video editing software you’re working with (or will). I would just take that audio clip from the iPad you recorded on and move that into your video editor, and then the video (with the raw audio) will be placed on top of the audio in the timeline. The easy way to sync this up is to clap really loud at the beginning before starting the show and then you can see these wave forms in the audio tracks from the iPad and the iPhone. Line up those spikes in the track, and then once they’re synced, then just lower the volume on the audio from the phone and you should still be synced up with the better audio from the iPad. Hopefully that is what you’re asking about. And if not, I’ll take another crack at it 😁

@@KevinRossRN Thank you so much for your quick and detailed response!! I use iMovie but for some reason it gets synced up in the beginning perfectly but then as the video plays (they are usually around 1.5 hours) the sync gets off, not by a lot but enough to definitely notice. So I was wondering if there was a different software besides iMovie you recommend for the iPad that would work? I haven’t gotten my laptop yet but if it will make my editing process easier I am definitely going to look into it. I have heard Adobe Premier Pro is perfect for syncing but unfortunately I need a laptop for that…. Also!! I am looking to upgrade my camera eventually for videoing, is there one you recommend for podcasting videos that doesn’t break the bank? Thank you SO much for all of your help. I really appreciate it.

@yelinadavis For an iPad editing experience I’d recommend either LumaFusion, Davinci Resolve for iPad, or Final Cut Pro for iPad. Davinci is free. I would stick with the iPhone camera for as long as possible until you feel like this is something you really want to do and sustain. However, once you’re ready to move up, something like the ZVE10: geni.us/AlphaZVE10 This will be a camera you can grow into and that has the option for interchangeable lenses.

@@KevinRossRN thank you so much Kevin!

@yelinadavis of course! Sending my best 🤘

What’s the price difference where you are between these two cameras? I just ask because I still own the 6400 and it’s still great, but having a stabilized lens is helpful for those handheld shots. You can certainly do those shots without a stabilized lens with the proper technique.

@@KevinRossRN the price difference is 200$ between a6400 and a6600. I just want to purchase a camera where i can get handheld bRolls for slomos

@sanyamshitole well, the one thing to consider is an all-in price. So, if you have the IBIS, which offers just a slight edge over the 6400, then you could have more options for non stabilized lenses that are often times cheaper. What lens (or lenses) have you considered?

@@KevinRossRN I was thinking of Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS or Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS , i was thinking of buying a6400 with an OSS lens which later on if needed i can buy an affordable gimbal . what would be better according to you buying A6400 with OSS lens and saving money for gimbal OR going for A6600 which has an IBIS ?

The time can be one of the biggest challenges for sure. Once you establish a routine, it does get a little easier, but it still takes quite a bit of juggling if you have a full time job, family, school, or anything else that might need your attention. Speaking of time, I appreciate you being here for this one. 🤘

@@KevinRossRN Thing is, I would like to make filmmaking my full time job (Get Tips for the Tip Jar, patrons, or grants (That's far out)). I already had school, but my family, especially my father, things filmmaking is a waste of time. They want me to have a "Normal" job and life. Me being on the autism spectrum, What's normal?

@zeroryoko999 What kind of filmmaking in particular are you interested in? Are there things that you’re interested in to be able to take on small projects where you can learn, but also make a small amount of money? Or are you hoping to have a RUclips channel?

@@KevinRossRN As you can see, I already have a RUclips channel; mostly gaming and animation, but I want to expand. However, as I mentioned, Space and Time is a problem. The films I could make on a budget for right now is stop-motion (I already have one planned and try to have all the shots done in less than a week, It would be a 15 to 20 minute short). The money would be from a tip jar thanks to viewers that see the final result. I already have a degree in Video Production so I've learned and I've kept learning even after college by watching tutorials and such like Film Riot and your videos. My biggest roadblock is my own family where I now believe they want me to get out of Indie Filmmaking and start wearing a Grochery Store Uniform. With my mental condition, I wouldn't be able to handle it.

@zeroryoko999 Oh, I didn’t see that. Since I mostly respond to comments on my phone the interface doesn’t really show much on the profile…Not like on the computer. I can understand that there are family pressures, and it can certainly stifle that creativity when you’re stressed about that dynamic. If you studied video production, what about finding a couple of creators that you could edit for to bring in a little cash just to show (your family) you’re making something of that degree? Stop motion is something I’ve never tried, but I’m certainly interested in, and very much respect the time and effort it takes.

Well, you may or may not be surprised, but in this video I was trying to answer a common question I was getting about a base model M2 and higher spec’d M1 because at the time these two machines (the M1 with the extra memory) was around the same price. However, I do still appreciate your feedback here. 🤘

Yeah, the interface can be connected to the phone and then the video you’re recording will pick up the SM57 that is connected to the interface. I have to say that these audio interfaces are some of my favorite pieces of tech because they save so much time and frustration.

Hey, this comment got buried. Did you end up making a decision on this yet?

I would lean toward the pro because of the fan. What kind of video codec are you working with?

@@KevinRossRN thanks a lot for the advice. i will do mostly youtube videos and tiktok in 4k

@Danieleranofit I mean you could likely get away with the MBA, but honestly that MBP will allow you to scale up on your workflow, which I’d consider a longer term investment and return on your money.

Well it’s not just using it for charging capabilities, but keep in mind that you’ll still need to connect that port to the computer because you need the data (information) to be passed through the computer via that data/power/computer port on the dock itself.

So using the MagSafe to power the MBP is not preferable, therefore replying on the TS4 to power the MBP through a thunderbolt IO?

@jacksonj3082 you can use the MagSafe connector while it’s docked, but the dock itself (because you have to plug into the MBP) will be charging the computer anyway. The “computer” connection on the dock is specifically for just the computer.

Thank you Sir

Got the TS4 for my MacBook Pro M-1 Max 16 inch - so happy with the purchase. I use a DP splitter to connect to my 2 Gigabyte M28 monitors saving a USB-C. Your review and kind feedback convinced me to get the TS4 - THANK YOU.

Live-streaming with multiple mics is going to be a bit different because the software you’re going to be using wouldn’t be GarageBand, but rather you’d use something like OBS.

Figured. Thank you for clarifying that for me!

@isavisionary813 you bet 🤘

A MIDI device is something like a piano/keyboard, or a guitar, so it’s just using a mic as a MIDI device. One thing to keep in mind though is that the more mics you add the more challenging it does become. Having an external audio interface can save you so much time and frustration, especially if this is something you’re pursuing long term.

Exactly. That’s a great point indeed. Still a great camera, even today.

Really glad I was able to provide some help. Thanks for being here. I’m still using the M2🤘

Sorry to hear that. What’s the setup you’re working with?

That’s awesome to hear. My kid now uses these speakers and they’re still going strong. 🤘

I’m very happy to help. I still run this setup for myself. Best of luck. 🤘

will this tutorial still work for the M3 chip macbook air?

@rishithdutta6248 yep, these chipsets are all just iterations.

@@KevinRossRN Thank you so much. This is the best concise video on this out here

@rishithdutta6248 happy to help. Sending you my very best.

Happy to be of service. Glad you found it helpful. Appreciate your time here. 🤘
