: Y'all ready? Beat history. Get started.
: Welcome.
: Hi. Hi. Hi. Hello, everyone, to the pro audio suite.
: These guys are professional.
: They're motivated.
: Thanks to Tribooth, the best vocal booth for home or on the rote. Voice recording and austrian audio making passion heard. Introducing Robert Marshall from source elements. And someone audio post Chicago, Darren Robbo Robertson from Voodoo Radio Imaging, Sydney Tech to the Vo stars, George the tech Wittem from LA, and me, Andrew Peters. Voice over talent and home studio line up.
: Learner. Here we go.
: And welcome to another pro audio suite. Thanks to tributh, it's your freedom. The golden handcuffs. And don't forget the code TripaP 200 to get $200 off yours. And austrian audio making passion heard. Now, lots of things are being heard at NAB as we cross live to George and Robert.
: Yeah. We are here at NAB 2024. Hello, everyone. We're in Vegas, baby.
: What happens in Vegas instead of.
: Well, not today.
: Yeah. I hope the sales keep on going outside of Vegas.
: That's right. But we don't want the money to stay in Vegas. We want it to go with us. We're all here to make money. That's the bottom line, we have to admit.
: It's true. It's very true, actually. We want to show our stuff. That's what we really want to do. And then if it makes money, very.
: Gordon Gekko of you, I must say.
: Yeah, exactly. Very few people leave Vegas.
: I'd be buying everybody and dismantling their companies if I was Gordon Gekko, wouldn't I?
: Yeah, something like that.
: Yeah. Greedy's good. I'm not in on that name, but I'll google it later.
: It's that movie where he's like the Wall street guy, and he just buys other companies and destroys them. And all the union people are like, no. And he's like, fuck you, capitalism.
: Yeah. So we're. I'm here because of vocal booth. Vocal booth.com. We've done a little story about them already and what I've done with them. But we're here. I'm here because I wanted to hang out with them and meet all of their customers and help them make.
: Then it might be the right decision.
: And Robert is, of course, here with source elements, and he's helping to promote the launch of SourceConnect four, which is doing some very impressive stuff.
: Yeah, we got nominated for our best in show award. Specifically, we made source connect four. The upper end version is going to be able to stream Atmos end to end. And that actually doesn't sound like that impressive because it's possible to stream multi channel audio right now. But the difference is source connect four will be able to stream all the bed, all those channels, all the objects which could be up to like hundreds and 128. And the metadata for all those objects so that the receiving side can render that locally for their system on the fly. And then you can do that for up to five connections simultaneously. So you could have a director monitoring an Atmos mix and the stage could be on a 25 speaker system. The director could have a twelve speaker system. The producer could log in from another location and just receive on binaural and maybe the writer logs in and they're at home and they only have five. One. And all those things can be rendered locally for each system so the stage doesn't have to dumb down or render down to the common denominator. Yeah, that was great.
: Mind bending stuff.
: I think we need to add a caveat to that though. You can do all that unless you're on the australian NBN.
: Well if you have Andrew's Internet then all you can do is half a channel.
: That's right. South of Melbourne. Not so great. Sydney. No problem.
: It seems that way, doesn't it?
: Yeah.
: But seriously though, is that dependent on your connection?
: Well yeah, if you're streaming 128 channels of audio we figure on the realistic side you need at least five megs upload. But really each person and it can add up quite a bit. So we're really talking about people with really good pipes. But the intended audio audience for a product like that tends to be mix stage for a feature film. They're sitting on top of a ton of bandwidth. And then on the home side, most people's download, I mean you can get a gig download without even thinking
