Problem is you can't be sure. You cannot control it. It was another thing, if Apple allowed disabling the fan at the cost of a bit throttling. With the Air you are guaranteed, that Never Ever will the fan kick in, not even if a process run amok. And even if it is a workload that throttle the Air, you will hardly know it is running 75-80% performance, unless you are doing the exact same tasks on M1 MBP next to it.
They can only increase fanspeed not decrease or turn it off.
The air never throttle noticable. It may finish long tasks a bit slower, but it stay responsive and not going into into slow motion. Speed is not a problem. The tasks that take longer is tasks that already take so long you don’t sit and wait for, but start doing something else in the meantime, so it doesn’t matter that much if it takes 20% longer
Maybe, but the point is maybe is not always good enough. No fan noise is a guarantee on air, even when software misbehave and eat up all cpu, which is a joy compared to my previous machines. I had it transcoding for two days straight and no problem having it in the livingroom or bedroom. The only thing that make me second guess no fan air over pro is the screen (it sounds like there might be more quality difference than purely brightness) and maybe the touch-bar, which I have never tried.
I suspect you are correct, but since the Air does what I need I have never felt the need to get an M1 MBP.
With the M1 Air your assured silence nor a slouch by any means. The M1 Presents benefits for those that the need the likes of active cooling and sustained performance which is beneficial in hotter climates where the Air's cooling is less efficient.
I have an EV RE20 with an Apogee Symphony desktop. I’m not using the built in mic on the laptop. Sadly the microphone is relatively close to the computer because I have to operate the software while recording.
I tried recording the voice over separately from the demo, but it never seemed to work out. If I need to add comments or remove them, either I’m talking really fast trying to fit dialogue in, or talking slowly and pausing. What has worked best for me is to write a script, and do the demo while talking so I can properly synchronize what I’m saying with what I’m doing. It saves a lot of editing and overdubbing.
What software are you using to integrate your video with audio? Many packages let you extend a frame (i.e. insert more the same frame) so you can lengthen the time the video shows to match your audio length at your normal talking pace. If you want you can also go the other way and add some time when capturing beyond your voiceover estimate. It is always easier to cut than to insert.
That’s a good tip. I use either iMove or FCP. I could use freeze frame, but then the mouse would stop moving. I guess that’s not so bad, but even a better choice could be slowing down the footage to stretch out the time of that particular “scene”. Still it requires more editing and in my mind I should know the software well enough to be able to teach it without making a million mistakes, particularly if I have a script.
No it’s a large diaphragm dynamic broadcast microphone. It’s in the same league as the Shure SM7B (I prefer it much better than the SM7B). You see Kelsey Grammar use one in his radio program on the spin-off “Fraser”.
