![]() If you’re a jet setter looking for a new full-frame camera, read the full Nikon Z5 review. Nikon has managed to shrink it down even further without losing the great handling and some of the series’ top-end specifications. Overall, the Nikon Z5 has a lot to offer and it’s a great little package for anyone looking to get their first full-frame camera. For that extra outlay, you get an overall better-performing camera and lens combination, which is more versatile for a range of situations. It has a good set of features, with a well-performing sensor, a nicely functioning touch-sensitive tilt-screen and a fantastic viewfinder that you might not expect to find on an entry-level camera.Īs it stands, you can get a Z6 with the 24-70mm lens for a little more than the Z5 with the 24-50mm lens. It’s impressively small for a full-frame camera, and, especially if you combine it with the new 24-50mm kit lens, then you’ve got a great travel or everyday camera in the making. Pairing the R7 with either the RF 100-400mm f/5-6.8 or the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 makes a formidable combination for outdoor sports and wildlife, including bird photography.There’s plenty to like about the Nikon Z5. The old 7D Mark II DSLR was incredibly popular amongst amateur wildlife photographers, but its 10fps continuous speed pales compared to the 30fps rate of the R7, as does its autofocus tracking accuracy. There are many standout features in the R7’s specification list, but for me, the 30fps continuous shooting speed is the most important one for this camera’s target audience. The R7’s performance, paired with a 1.6x crop factor, makes it a compelling choice for sports and wildlife photographers on a budget. The EOS R7 launched in 2022 as the modern replacement for the 7D Mark II DSLR and sits atop Canon’s range of APS-C mirrorless cameras. 1.62M dot fully-articulating 3-inch rear touchscreen. ![]()

That whole camera stuff was cool, but I got to see how the game works, and managers are the ones who make the real money.” She said, “What do you know about managing artists?” And I said, “Nothing, but I'm gonna figure it out.”Ĭourtesy Charlie Jabaley 2008: My first signed group was called Vistoso Bosses.

To this day, I’ll strike bets with NBA players, challenge them to a shooting contest. I spent more time in the gym than anybody else, and the coach would have me teach the other players how to shoot. When you’re overweight, you can’t do the cool moves, so I just shot a lot. I don’t talk about this much, but I am really good at shooting. I wanted to be part of the basketball team, so I was a manager. The days were built around sports or entrepreneurship. We’d put 20 people on one song, and songs would be like 12 minutes long. I started a music studio in my bedroom, and 30 kids would be in there writing lyrics. Then everybody would come to my house and play basketball. I sold stuff out of the trunk of my car in the school parking lot. For the girls, I’d have the Abercrombie & Fitch. I would have the cool jerseys, the cool shoes.

As I got older, I started asking myself, “What am I gonna be good at?” And I was like, “I'm gonna be CEO Charlie.” I realized, even though I loved sports, they weren’t going be the big thing for me. They never made more than $35,000 a year combined, but they invested their money, they knew about stocks. My dad worked on houses, and my mom sold vacuum cleaners-she had to get out there and hustle.

Rogue Amoeba has announced the release of Audio Hijack 3, the successor to the venerable Mac sound utility Audio Hijack Pro. Subscribers get access to an exclusive podcast, members-only stories, and a special community.Meet Audio Hijack 3, my new favorite audio utility If you appreciate articles like this one, support us by becoming a Six Colors subscriber. Its flexibility and clever interface continue to amaze me. But with Audio Hijack, I was able to make it simple, by creating a Session that recorded the output of all four microphones in the studio to individual files, a format I replicated for the beer episode.Ĭombined with tools like Loopback and Nicecast, there is not a single audio problem on my Mac I have not been able to solve with Audio Hijack. Getting a civilian to understand how to properly configure GarageBand or Logic for a foolproof multi-microphone recording session? Forget it. ![]() Shockingly, the entire thing worked flawlessly, despite it being operated by increasingly tipsy people.īack in the day at Macworld I was frustrated by how hard it was to set up a multi-microphone recording session in our podcast studio. I recorded the Skype audio to my Desktop and routed that out to the headphone splitter. I connected a multi-way headphone splitter to the output from my Mac, and each of us brought our own set of headphones.Įverything got routed by Audio Hijack: each individual track from the H6 was saved to its own file on my Desktop, and then routed to Skype via Loopback to everyone else on the call could hear us mixed together. To do this, I connected my Zoom H6 portable recorder to my Mac in USB interface mode-one of the handy features of this device is that it can transform itself into a six-track USB audio interface on demand-and attached four table microphones for my in-person participants. For The Incomparable’s beer episode, I had to record four people around a table in my house, as well as a bunch of people who were connected via Skype. Here’s another example that’s one I use less often, but still goes a long way to showing just how powerful Audio Hijack can be. Audio Hijack makes the process dead simple-I upload that MP3 file, unchanged, to my server, because it’s in exactly the proper format, right down to the show art. Members of The Incomparable get access to a special podcast feed containing an archive of all of our live-streamed sessions. In the case of this mixed-down file, I’m saving it as a 64kbps mono MP3, complete with tags and even custom album art. Audio Hijack gives you remarkable control over the audio format your recordings can be saved as. (There’s a Volume block on the Skype side, so I can reduce the volume of the skype audio a tad so that it’s the same volume as my own voice.)įinally, that last mixdown of my voice and the Skype audio is also saved to the Desktop, with some very particular settings. It’s also routing both sets of audio through Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback, a virtual output device that serves as the audio source for Nicecast, another Rogue Amoeba app that connects to our live-stream servers and lets me stream that mix of my voice and my panelists’ voices to live listeners. ![]() ![]() It’s routing the Skype audio into my USB audio interface so I can hear people’s voices in my headphones. It’s recording the audio from Skype and saving that to the Desktop, so I can use it as a reference (or backup if one of my panelists fails to record their own microphone). It’s recording my microphone as a full-quality mono WAV, deposited to my Desktop, named something like jason-20170227-0834, indicating the date and time the recording was started. This session is doing an immense number of things at once. The first one comes from the Session I use for recording and live streaming podcasts on The Incomparable or Relay FM. But even if you’re already using Audio Hijack, you may not realize just how flexible its modular, block-building approach allows it to be. Audio Hijack 3 has become my go-to tool for recording audio for podcasts and pretty much everything else on my Mac.
