  1. Clean, no dust. all keys fully functional. no issues. barely used. $50. +shipping. Listed on FB marketplace as well.
  2. Comes with Midi Cable for connection, original box, manual, product card, and mounting hardware. Works great. no issues afaik. a few buttons have a bit of paint worn a bit, but not completely gone. No problems seeing what they are. $300 +shipping. Or make a serious offer. listed on FB marketplace as well. Mackie's new Human User Interface, first previewed in SOS January '98, was designed to offer a hardware interface for software‑driven digital audio workstations. Digidesign's Pro Tools 4.1 software is the first to support the device, although Mackie intend that other DAWs will eventually also be able to work with the HUI. So what is HUI for? Well, as most SOS readers will know, Pro Tools' onscreen mixer is normally controlled using your computer's mouse. The problem, however, is that a mouse is far from being the ideal device for controlling a mixing console — it is difficult to drag the faders smoothly, and 'turning' knobs on screen can be awkward, to say the least. Consequently, several hardware controllers have been developed as an alternative to software front‑ends over the years, including models from Penny & Giles and JL Cooper: all of these, however, offer only a limited number of controls compared with the HUI, which seeks to give the operator hands‑on control of virtually all of Pro Tools' mixing and editing parameters, as well as a full set of transport and locator controls. At first glance, the control surface looks rather like a compact digital mixer, with eight assignable faders, associated Select switches, and an electronic 'scribble strip' which picks up the channel names from your Pro Tools project and displays these handily above the faders. This feature alone won my instant approval! The faders are motorised so they move to reflect automatically the positions of Pro Tools' onscreen faders. The HUI also has a built‑in meter bridge with eight pairs of dual LED 'ladders'. With mono Pro Tools tracks, only the left LED 'ladder' lights up, while both are used with stereo channels. Having these meters just where you need them is great, especially if you are using the ADAT Bridge interface, for instance, which, unlike Digidesign's 888 I/O hardware, doesn't have any meters.
  3. Editor Includes large jog dial in a design that includes only the specific keys needed for editing. Includes Bluetooth with battery for wireless use so it's more portable than a full sized keyboard! $150 plus shipping. or pick it up in person. Also listed on FB Marketplace
  4. The Tangent Element suite (4 panels) in original boxes. everything works great! the rubber-ish coating has become a bit sticky. so it needs to be cleaned, or removed, or sent to be redone. your choice. you get all this, for the low low price of US $1,000. and shipping cost..or, pick it up in person. (also listed on FB marketplace)
  5. Im curious why posts like this focus more on the Dolby License than the actual conversion of SDR to HDR color. The biggest misconception I've run into, is that folks think there is a 1 button solution to convert sdr.. I haven't seen one yet, and i've been diving in deep on several sites like this.. So please, if you have a solution for the actual color conversion, I'd like to hear it.
  6. thank you for this nice short and very informative video. I laughed out loud at your reasoning for the Hail Mary node.. been there too.. and cleaning up. great info. the bigger node structures make a lot of sense to me now!

  8. So are you offering people work? i thought this board was for jobs being offered, not for people looking to post resumes and reel.. otherwise, we'll all be posting here.
  9. These stories are why I gladly pay my subscription.. and now they even do tutorials.. here.. take my money! My only question is, the reference to Avid being new and early days.. in 99. It may just have been the one the BBC had to use for you, but I was already cutting in Avid DS in HD in 2001, so in 99, we were using Avid MC Meridien 9000. Which is still one of the most rock solid systems I ever used. I know that's just a minut detail. In those days, I bet the BBC moved much like Hollywood, very slow to upgrade and use new tech.. And it's funny how many times I've been asked to do the BOB look too.. of course, with Resolve these days, so much more can be accomplished, it's a mental fight to keep it simple. Excellent story Stuart! Thank you.
  10. Nice quick tutorial. sweet and to the point. Easy to understand and not too heavy on Color jargon.
  11. Drove me nuts too.. I'd love to hear how to straighten these out and not have bouncing objects.
  12. Sorry Thomas, your post is a it confusing, or maybe I'm not awake.. You say DS, but then reference Avid DV. And if you are still using DS, then Bravo sir. Thats awesome. I wish more shops in Post would've found there way to it, and stuck with it. But most believed in Avid's marketing and sales pitches. Avid DS. (which they bought from Softimage) and could do anything and everything all the way up to 8k. was EOL in 09. No longer available. Avid Symphony. the "big" brother to Composer, really only difference was the color corrector and the "universal" output. Avid Media Composer. the editing worlds bane of existence. Premiered in the early 90's after Avid killed Matador and a few other products. Avid DV is a derivative of this. As was Newscutter and Avid Free. (Avid Film Composer). Disappeared sometime in the late 90's.
  13. You said Serious Compositors. some of the best are Fusion Compositors by choice.
  14. you mean the first Avid DS versions? that was in 2000/2001. Not Nitris. just to make sure we're on the same page. The color corrector was way better in DS, even though it was the same as Symphony. there was no Jumpy bumpy in DS, like Symphony. And, you could composite with color..so there was unlimited things you could do.. not like this goofy Step In/Out stuff Avid MC and Symph have held onto for so long.. Seriously, still using Hi-Cons and Matte fills, and can't properly read and display an Alpha Channel, what year is it?
  15. Hmm. I don't think any of the compositors at Prime Focus in Hollywood would agree with you. And just because Black magic made it free, doesn't mean it's not as good as Nuke. Eyeon suffered from being a small company without the resources to market itself like The Foundry did with Nuke. The first time I used Fusion on a TV series, it cost $3500. and it did wonders for the show. And the Post house that bought it. Nuke at that time, Also cost 3500.
