Morning Everyone! What does the panel think about the new Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments?ASKED BY · Mike Edwards · NEW YORK
Frequently having our Gen3 2i2 Scarletts stop sending out audio to mixer. They still will bring audio into the PC. Output setting in Windows never changes. USB unplug and plugin fixes it. Never have issue with same units on Mac. Any ideas why?ASKED BY · Daniel Patridge · ROCHESTER MN
Do you work at higher sampling rates (96kHz, 192kHz, etc)? Why or why not?ASKED BY · Jeff Francis · COLUMBIA, SC
When is AV2 coming?ASKED BY · Guy Cochran · SEATTLE
When do you decide it is a good time to update the software on your mixers and stage boxes?ASKED BY · Daniel Patridge · ROCHESTER MN
What does everyone think of the rumors of touchscreen MBPs? Would touch still be useful even if you’re stretching your arm across the keyboard to use it? How would you keep an OLED screen clean of fingerprints?ASKED BY · Douglas Carmichael

Have any of the vibecoders been using REA to explore firmware? It made an NDI-HX codec for OBS, created an audio video sync for my Rodecaster video S that can monitor and auto adjust, and a few other things. Curious what others have built.ASKED BY · Brett Weggelaar · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
What's a useable wireless battery powered self contained microphone with noise cancelation and recording built in?ASKED BY · Paul Walhus · AUSTIN, TEXAS
