Well I just spent an hour and a half browsing songs on Audio Network with nothing but a slight guess as to what the tags might be for the first song. Haven't found it :( But this is slightly similar, so that's all you get. http://www.audionetwork.com/production-music/this-ordinary-life_80194.aspx

Sadly, "Sounds like an iPhone commercial" isnt a tag on Audio Network.

I'm curious whether you can map that software to a MIDI controller or something. That might make it easier to switch cameras on the fly without having to use the PC. I guess that would be like the tri-caster.

Super cool stuff Vinny! Thanks for putting it together for us and congrats on your hard work bearing fruits. Any more of the SDI stuff you want to show us I'd love to see; I've never seen much about studio setups of any real size and I'm really interested in learning more about it.

Thanks Vinny, I love seeing how things get made behind the scenes! Even though it's *only* 720p60 it's looking good. Show me how you make your meat!!!

Feels a little strange to hear SMPTE outside of the context of my job, but especially from Vinny (even though if anyone at GB would be talking SMPTE, it'd be Vinny or Drew).

Anyone happen to know if Vinny's ever talked about his camera cable prefs?

I love Vinny. No idea how he can talk whilst listening to his own voice like that though.

I expect every GB East commentary audio track to be double-tracked with some fancy plug-in.

I would really like to see this in 1080p. None of the downloads or streams are in 1080; the streams all just pull from the 720p download if you change the video quality to HD. Back when twitch allowed private streams, I remember one of the UPFs was 1080 live, and everything was really crisp.

Of course, I would agree with Vinny that the bitrate could be upped for a nice quality bump as well.

Edit: I love how many people are super psyched about imaginary 1080

Yeah, bitrate over resolution all day every day. Pixels don't mean shit if there's not enough data to fill'em all.

There's not many things I love more than getting to watch behind-the-scenes tech setups, but seeing Vinny mess around with audio and visual nonsense like a kid in a candy store happens to be one of those things.

Would definitely be interested in some even more in-depth setup stuff if you find the time to produce it, @vinny. And thanks for this incredible preview, you've done incredible work getting this all set up and given how good GBeast content has been already I can't wait to see the full, finished product in action!

@vinny: Were those inputs mostly getting cropped before output? Looked like somewhere in the chain it was trying to crop off an overscan problem (but the computer and PS4 didn't have an overscan issue and so the edges were being cut off - also meaning a 1080p recording was no longer recording a 1-to-1 pixel capture of the actual output).

Ha, nothing that sinister, thanksfully. I actually cropped it in post because the audio software displays the IP address for the connected the device in the top window bar.

Good to hear. Great job on the new studio.
