Sony MDR-7506 Headphone Pads

Posted on 2011-06-302015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

The Sony MDR-7506 headphones seem to be a default staple of the TV production world since the mid-90s, and so when I got a pair for myself, those were the ones to get. They sound great, have reasonably neutral frequency response, and seem to last forever, no matter how much you beat them up. (Mine…

Final Cut Pro X: Is it really Pro?

Posted on 2011-06-262015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I’m almost loathe to write anything up about Final Cut Pro X at this point. There’s been so much wailing and gnashing of teeth (and joking) about it, plus a couple of over overly rosy reviews, but I figure one more voice from a more centrist position can’t hurt. However, note that I’ve only played…

Broken Mac Pro Latch

Posted on 2011-06-182015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I just bought a used Mac Pro yesterday, and the latch that releases the side panel opened just great when I was looking it over. However, this morning, when I gave it a go to pop in a video card, instead of the satisfying thunk of the latch’s usual opening, I heard scrunch, and the…

What would you do with 100 Drobos?

Posted on 2011-06-102015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

Drobo is running a contest to give away a number of Drobos, asking the question, “What would you do with 100 Drobos?” I think the answer is not an easy one. Sure, anyone can say “I’d take all 100 and give them to charity!” or, “I’d store every movie ever!” These are good first thoughts,…

The Den

Posted on 2011-05-012015-08-18 by Mark Boszko

I am listening to the audiobook of When Organizing Isn’t Enough: SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life. It’s a lot of obvious fluff, but it included this (probably apocryphal) gem: A well-known Zen parable tells of a wanderer on a lonely road who happened upon a fierce stream that had washed out the bridge to…

AE CS5 Optimum Memory Settings & Performance

Posted on 2011-04-242015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

After I upgraded to After Effects CS5 recently, I found that my rendering was a lot more sluggish than it used to be. Thankfully, I found this FAQ item on Adobe’s forums, and following the suggestions there — especially those about recommended memory-per-core settings — really got me back on track. For the record, I’m…

The War of Art

Posted on 2011-03-052015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield My rating: 3 of 5 stars At first I found the definition of Resistance (uppercase ‘R’) intriguing — a personification of the reasons you’re afraid to finish, why you procrastinate. As you progress through the book, though, the…
