Antelope ships USB-C Edge Go mic with bundled emulation tools
Call me weird, but as a 30 year media professional who has owned probably 50 mics over my career - from Neumann to AKG to Shure and beyond, here’s what I’d NEVER do—
presume to comment on the quality, utility, or value of a device until I had actually tested it for myself.
Yeah, it might be all hype and not worth squat. And that wouldn’t shock me.
OTOH, maybe it’s cracked some code for the actual digital modeling of the sounds or pickup characteristics of why many of us had a closet full of mics in the first place. This condenser works well on throaty female voices. This one better on clear sopranos. This other one has a great bite used on an alto sax with medium compression. And this dynamic kills on a close mixed kick drum with a nasty SPL.
The point is that any microphones actual utility only gets revealed via actual use. And right now, this thing has none. So arguing about how good or lame it might be is kinda stupid, IMO.
My 2 cents. -

Apple's Tim Cook meets with power brokers at Davos, says education efforts 'for the people...
Yeah, the people who run massive organizations (whether industries or countries) should NEVER meet with other folk who also have to run similar sized stuff to compare notes.
Its MUCH better if they all stay in their silos and face their challenges, cut off from any chance to compare notes.
Hey, maybe that “stay in your silo” stuff - if it’s so good for institutional governance - would work out good to advance Medicine, Music and Art too! -

Hands on: New video editing abilities make ScreenFlow 8 a Mac professional's must-have too...
Screenflow is a GREAT capture tool - and it's basic editing functions are very welcome.
But to re-cast it as "an editorial tool" is kinda misleading, IMO. Editing has moved WAY beyond the ability to cut and order video frames. Modern video "editing" as the term is increasingly used professionally is less and less about cutting and moving content around (tho that's still a core function) and more and more about digital asset management, transcoding and integrating multiple sources into a coherent whole, and automated content export into an increasingly complex connected world.Screenflow is a wonderful program that fills a specific niche beautifully. I, for one, hope it stays true to being THAT.
We have plenty of NLEs options today from iMovie to AVID.More choice is always a good thing. But so is keep your "eye on the ball - do what you do best - and don't try to do EVERYTHING."My 2 cents.
