5:40How does the Yamaha DM5 fit in the lineup over DM3 yet under DM7? I see in the Discord that the DM5 is shipping and being put into production by community members. I just want to, just as an aside, your incredible distaste for jingles is a little hilarious, Alexander. I've just got to say, it's great. I like jingles, I just don't like these ones.

6:04Go ahead, Alexander. Anyways, the DM5. Yeah, so the DM3, you can't compare it to the higher-end consoles with respect to its capabilities processing. Yes, it's not really, I mean, it shares the same name, DM, but it is so far removed from any of the higher-end consoles, including this new DM5. It doesn't have the same processing engine. So you can't expect it to do the same kind of things just in a smaller level.

6:38It only has two FX engines, doesn't have the same kind of processing power or nearly the same amount of bus power that the higher end ones. Doesn't have the same plug-in architecture that the DM5 or DM7 has. So where does it fit in the lineup? Well, it certainly fits in a much more affordable position. I believe the DM5 Compact, which is the smaller one, I believe the starting price is $10,000 US.

7:06So for what it does for the size, considering what it can do, the fact that it has the Rupert Neve plugins and stuff like that, which is very appealing to me. I think for a lot of smaller productions, people that want a smaller compact mixer, but say didn't necessarily have the 20 or 25 or 30 grand to go up to the biggest DM7 model.

7:30I think that's going to be a really attractive price point for a lot of people. So that's where I think it sits. Now, I will say the DM3 shares the preamp technology in the higher end models. But that's kind of where those similarities stop. And I own several DM3s. Actually, I own three of them. Two of them are being actively used right now, and the third one I'm not actually using right now.

7:56And I love them. I think they're great consoles for people that have really stripped down kind of needs, a lot of house of worship needs, that kind of thing, small corporate production stuff, maybe podcasts, that kind of stuff. That's certainly how I use it. For me to use it, say, in a live environment to mix a band, I wouldn't use it. It doesn't have the processing power, the bus structure that I need to do that.

8:26But I think for that target market, for that sort of $2,000, $2,200 territory for something that has Dante built in is very, very attractive. And coming out of the chat, Mickey McEacher says he finds the full-size DM5 to be lacking in processing capacity, given the channel count, though it may be a good sidecar or utility board to a DM7 or PM. The DM5C is better balanced.

8:52Both do not steer me away from planning to get a DM7. Jeremy Horn gives that a plus one. Also, they found it limiting that there's only a single card slot. lot and uh and no aes out so there are some considerations that like anything make your make your wire diagram plug it in see if it works thanks alexander thanks chat next question

9:18all right this one's from paul valhous in austin texas oc go stream deck versus black magic atem mini who wins on features reliability pricing and io courtney uh i saw this question come in the on the day. So I ordered one. Look, here it is. Came last night. I'm going to be running it through its paces today. It solves, this is the Ostrich
