    In regard to the microphone and Cloudlifter combo mentioned @8:30, the Shure SM7B is a great microphone that needs a lot of non phantom powered gain to catch a clean audio signal. The Clouderlifter is a preamp that increases the gain of the microphone with little to no noise, allowing the Scarlett Audio interface he is using to hear a louder signal from the microphone.

      @ICBMCatcher 2 роки тому +3

      Excuse me for butting in... I know you asked Sam this question, but time management has always been a strong suit for me. Thought maybe I could offer some helpful input.
      I use Apple voice commands for reminders, Calendar for tasks and meetings and Alarms for today-critical stuff. I am a Mortgage Loan Officer, so I work with a lot of time sensitive tasks. So for me it's _"hey Siri, set reminder to..."_ (goes to reminders) or _"hey Siri set meeting for Tues 3:00PM about..."_ (goes to Cal) or _"Hey Siri, set alarm for 4:00PM..."_ for critical tasks that must be completed later in the same day. But the single most important thing I do *_every day_* to stay on track is what I call *"check out" and check in"* At the end of *_every day_* I go over what I was supposed to complete that day (reminders, Cal, notes). Anything not completed gets moved to the next day or otherwise prioritized. I wrap up each day in my mind usually looking at my phone. Then, *_every morning_* , while I eat breakfast, I go over the day ahead and focus on the first thing I must complete. Once I complete that first thing, the day goes the way it goes from there. I pay attention to my reminders and focus on one thing at a time from there, while constantly adding and updating my time management tools. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for sharing, Sam.
    The BEST thing I love about your videos is that you're infecting us with your discipline. Thank you, Sam!
    I have an advice.
    Because your Macbook is almost always plugged in to power, I suggest using a battery management app to limit the charge to 80%, so that the battery doesn't degrade as fast. And since you're using the latest Macbook pro 16 inch, it has a huge battery, so 80% will still be a lot.
    I use "BatteryStatusShow", but maybe there's a better app. Although this one does the job.
    Also, don't let the battery of your notebook and phone (or any other device that uses some type of Lithium batteries) to go under 30 or 40 percent.
    Ideally you want to keep the battery at about 67%, but since it would be paranoid to try to keep it exactly around 67%, just keeping it between 40% and 80% (instead of draining to 0% and charging to 100%) will significantly improve battery health in the long run.

I'm looking to buy exactly what you are using so if there are any upgrades in hard or software I would love to know. I'm guessing you will update something going into the new year. Thanks again and Welcome to the Machine! Speaking of Pink Floyd, have you seen the new documentary released a couple days ago on Rumble titled "Died Suddenly". It opens with Floyd and updates at the highest level. The problems it portrays, I have solutions.

    Sam one amazing Tipp: just get the SHURE MV7b instead of the SM7b. It’s the same mic but you don’t need the preamp and the interface. Just straight up usb to the MacBook and you’re set.
