Notes to me

Okay nerds, listen up. Oh wait, I'm writing this to myself. Um. 

My modification of a meme.

Nerd thing number one. For theater sound nerdery. Canvas 2.0. Theater show control audio software. It does some very cool things with multitrack audio etc. And it's free. And it's on PC, Mac, and Linux. 

Downsides: it only works at 48kHz, and I can't get it to work on my computer. But it is very very cool you see. And it's just in beta. But it is very cool. It just doesn't work yet for me.

Oddly, nerd thing number two is that SFX is free now. It used to be, like, a gazillion dollars. I remember having to rent it before Qlab came along. 

OBS now has a "Hybrid MP4" output format which doesn't skunk the bed when there's a crash. I haven't tried it yet.

For quick media playback in television production there is H2R Graphics. I haven't tried it yet either.
