Mid-June Arbitrary Things

Theatremix seems kinda cool for building playlists for cues for shows. Except. Do we really need to do VCA/DCA mixing now with fancypants digital consoles? Having the actual channel in your hands rather than a DCA seems better to me just because I want to be able to grab EQ's and such. It doesn't seem to let you swap channels around but it does pretty much every other thing you'd likely want for live, repeatable work with multiple actors. 

VioletAudio makes a couple things including the dMiX 128. It's a sort of stagebox/cloud-mixing box. 

Filmbox is a film emulation software. Chance seems to like it. It does look cool.


Alpine Email is a Pine alternative. 

The Glass Bees is a science-fiction book.

ProRes422HQ preserves visual quality at the same high level as Apple ProRes 4444 but for 4:2:2 image sources.
