Interference issues with monitors
by Jonathan Frank 3 months ago
I am a video editor that mainly works on theatrical events (so lots of spoken word). I had a pair of KRK VXT4s that I purchased in 2008 when I bought my MacPro and just replaced them last week with KR

Egg Crate/Diffuser question

It seems to be linked to Compressor or Qmaster (running 3.5.3 of Compressor as I'm using FCP7). Resetting background processing in Compressor fixes the problem some of the time. Using Compressor Repai
Considering buying a used Rifa 55

by Jonathan Frank 10 months ago
Ha! Yeah, the pricing on these suckers is interesting.. The 30 is $210 The 40 is $173 The 50 is $151 I guess it makes sense...the 30 has more cells (and blocks more light - and 'focuses' it to a tight

Well if that's the case (and as I...um...have a version of Red 3.0.2 I purchased in 2005 and never got around to fully appreciating) I might as well simply upgrade my Red. While we're on the subject o

Re: Which Boris is right for me (and FX template question)
by Jonathan Frank 7 years ago
