Microphones make their own noise and they have to be boosted in a MicPre to be loud enough to do production. All MicPres make noise. All that boosting is inside a USBheadset microphone and the manufacturers have to take serious shortcuts to make everything small enough to wear on your head. One of t...

It's Apple plus Scroll on Macs, but it may be less handy than the hot keys. It's really easy to lose control of the zooming and push your show into a little pile of blue trash on the left side of the screen -- or off the screen.

Yes, a beedlioop at the beginning for a polling radio system and ththththP at the end for a squelch tail. That's the Hollywood version. The last radio I had with a squelch tail was 1985 and the beedlioop is missing from military radios. They don't have to share channels. They have exclusive rights t...
