(8:12) Kevin Rouch gifted 5 Aaron Parecki memberships

(8:27) q: I saw you could show gifted memberships via the live chat. overlay. can everyone do that or have you coded it just for yourself? I haven't been able to work out why

(9:09) Yours World Map at the Beginning where the Chatties Pop up. Does there is a Template or how its made?

(14:51) Q-I already have pair of dji mic 2 does it makes sense to upgrade to dji mic 3?

(15:34) Will be nice to make a how to Video?

(15:39) @Davinci Girl - If you want a map like that check out H2R Graphics It has that as part of the package

(16:00) I never get to attend the livestream because I am working but yay covid I am home today 😭

(16:12) mevo camera i guess

(16:16) GoStream and dji mics

(20:20) I tried for a week to get those AVKans to look even decent so I sent it back. Not in the same price but I love my Tail 2

(25:28) Being a Sound guy at my core I never go anywhere without a Soundboard PERIOD!

(26:16) guerrilla streaming

(26:39) I just did bought 5 more Bauer anniversary microphones for total price a little below of 10000.- Euros and be short in money until Christmas 🙂

(26:55) Q Does your automatic backup of Companion via the export button url still work?

(28:35) The Hollyland Lark mics can be muted at the mic pack... I know... I accidentally mute them every once in a while

(29:39) I use the Saramonic SR-AX100 to split my stereo signal from my DJI mic minis. That gives me control over each of the TXs as if they were separate devices. A simple stereo Y splitter does it.

(29:53) I know you can do it with the Wireless Go II

(30:10) A field recorder like the Zoom or a Sounddevices would give you some control and there small...

(30:27) Q: can the pan and tilt speeds be adjusted on the Tail 2? It jumps too far even the slightest adjustment..

(31:24) Yes it can @Mike Sabatini

(31:35) Q: Do you think the RODE Wireless Micro is better then the DJI Mic Mini now that RODE is giving everyone a free camera reciever?

(33:14) q: do you know of any TX that could send/receive audio that support xlr input and 6.5mm headphone output? (use for headsets) something that'd be comparable with the RCP2

(33:46) sorry xlr output and 6.5mm input

(34:03) Q: you can mute either DJI Mic 1 transmitter from the receiver. Probably also Mic 2?

(35:34) It looks like the DJI Mic Mini supports DJI Mimi over bluetooth, but I think it's just setting adjustment, not mute/unmute

(35:45) One day Aaron's just going to join with every mic on and we'll play guess the lav kit 😄

(35:55) Mimo app

(36:14) q: I am an active rodecaster user and want to report a wicked bug post update where the audio does not record on some of the video tracks and the video stops recording randmonly while audio continues

(36:42) What is a good aforable PTZ camera with an optical zoom?

(38:39) @Joshua Hansen the cheapest that is quality is the OBSBOT Tail 2 at $1200. The AVKans is much larger and cheaper

(39:39) my yolobox ultra is connected to 3 hollyland pyro h, receiver 1 & 2 are correct but 3 is a duplicate of 2. 3 connected to the third camera. any solution?

(40:34) q: can you add that ptz via hdmi to your rodecaster to show how the ptz controls show up

(43:53) Q: also: Ecamm added more advanced audio controls a while back so if you send mic 1 to left and 2 to right, maybe you can use that to mute? haven't played with audio so not 100% sure it's possible

(45:11) Q:What do you think about PhotoJoseph's recent Yolobox Extreme - Extreme tests? That looked like a pretty interesting dive into the 4K capabilities of the Extreme.

(45:36) The Mic Mini receiver can pair to the DJI Mimo app over bluetooth, but I doubt it supports mute/unmute

(45:52) @Aaron Parecki I was so happy you pressed Frank at YoloLiv to support Companion! For my workflow the YoloDeck works but my setup is fairly simple.

(50:15) @Aaron Parecki That little YoloLiv webcam is 'cute' I would like it compared to the OBSBOT Tiny 2 that has PTZ control

(52:33) Q Is the S3 base detachable?

(53:16) Does s3 have any manual exposure controls on other devices? no manual always makes me nervous

(54:38) I'm not very positive about Yolodeck. It would be better if Yolobox had Stream Deck or Campanion support

(57:59) Q:You need a bigger desk :)

(58:22) Your labs getting there. My contribution to the cable fund (there is alot of them in the lab)

(58:51) It's great that @Aaron Parecki has about everything to just try! Very helpful!

(59:54) Too many prosumer switchers these days!

(1:00:12) Frank said the Camera control is coming FYI

(1:00:30) Aaron: you will soon be dressed like an F1 driver, with all the sponsor logos!!!

(1:01:01) Q Are there any subscriptions that you have that are necessary for this channel/stream? Any you have that are not necessary?

(1:01:57) More toward your fund

(1:02:39) Q: Just in, what have I missed?

(1:02:44) Your channel is by far the best deal! Discord membership is worth the $2.99

(1:02:55) @Aaron Parecki I'm retired I can bug you more than you want...

(1:04:22) what is the discord link?

(1:04:40)

(1:04:50) I want that year-long calendar, but I don't have the wall space yet

(1:05:09) Q: How come the tape conversion gear is still behind you? I thought that you done with that. Perhaps the lab desk can bleed further there?

(1:07:01) 27th is better for me I'm, Producing a show in Dallas on the 20th

(1:07:08) I will be on trip on 20th. So 27th better for me

(1:08:21) Q have you seen the new Hollylandliv air?

(1:09:38) SEMI-retired

(1:09:40) I have a hard time saying NO to some people...

(1:09:42) Q: Quick pic of the calendar Please!

(1:11:25) Q: Are you still using the Remarkable as part of your workflow these days?

(1:13:32) @mattwruff yes, 2025 is almost over

(1:13:47) I need an iPad version of that

(1:14:15) Someone needs to make a version of that that links to personal digital calendars, not necessarily online ones.

(1:15:25) Q: Have you done a Yolobox to Yolobox stream yet? Seems like a cool feature.

(1:16:18) Q Do you know the price for the Yolowebcam S3?

(1:16:29) Q: I found my ols device which is Atem Television Studio (1U rack). Do you k ow what is latest software of this mixer?

(1:16:51) Oops I have a question about my rodecaster video, would that be something that you can answer??

(1:16:57) WOW there are alot of planners in the App store

(1:17:10) FYI: have you looked into the: cloner-alliance Evolve for recording projects like yours Aaron?

(1:18:59) We need an e-planner channel 😸

(1:19:08) Q: Thoughts on OMT the open source NDI replacement from vMix

(1:19:28) @Omur Ozcan I also have TV Studio lying in my closet (thte HDMI/SDI hybrid version). Sadly no scalers, no converters.

(1:20:06) I thing he said $249 (Frank YoloLiv) for the S3

(1:20:16) Hello Aaron. I'm sorry if this is not the theme, but why OBS has issues with macbook M1 and M2 chips? Or is there any setting that works best?

(1:21:00) Q how's the house project?

(1:23:12) Q: It looks like a house... what is going on with the solar so you can live in the house?

(1:23:37) Q: what are doors on the wall in Lily's office?

(1:23:48) White Tool Belt ftw! 🛠

(1:23:51) OBS issues are typically not OBS but plugins misbehaving

(1:23:58) I experienced some freezing while streaming.... delay.... kind of laggy. Do you have any setting for an M2 mac I could use in your videos made before?

(1:24:28) @A Chave da Ciência that sounds like your Mac made not have had enough resources for the resolutions, bit rate, and all of the other things you were doing at the same time.

(1:24:35) I want to stream or record with my RODECaster video and I want use YouTube or another platform and create a reaction video. Is that possible?

(1:28:13) My favorite way to send a feed from a laptop is to use extended displays, but then have OBS fullscreen project to that extended display. That way I can use OBS to select display/application capture

(1:28:47) Q House is looking great well done

(1:28:51) Thank you so much!

(1:29:37) Q: Do you think Yolobox will even support connecting to a NAS? I’m a Mac user and the USB C file transfer isn’t supported.

(1:29:57) Q: I want to switch between the 4 inputs on an ATEM Mini Pro via Companion, but I don't know the best way to see the multiview since it will be too far for USB. SRT/RTMP?

(1:31:30) Q If I was to start from scratch with a church layout for streaming , would you go through the Rode route or DJI ?

(1:33:30) Q mics sorry

(1:35:31) Could you use a StreamDeck+ to do RCV audio control?

(1:36:15) Q would you have an ambient mic and what you recommend

(1:37:02) It would be cool to see YoloLiv create a breakout box for audio as an add on.

(1:37:14) I wonder if the Stream Deck + would work with it's knobs
