#203 - Just a quick one today that might help you speed up you workflow just a little bit. There always seems to be a ton of interest in custom controllers, keyboards & purpose built control devices. I'm a huge fan of them too, but ultimately it all comes back to the keyboard. I've talked about it in video #180 - https://youtu.be/HT2xTe7LIb8 about how controllers must provide some unique benefit to outweigh the time it takes to move your hand away from the keyboard where it is already resting. In practice, I end up using shortcuts and macros far more often than additional controllers. With that in mind, I am currently working on an update to video #156 - https://youtu.be/cuLtrSRD4Og - and my personal custom external USB controller that you can see in this video. It's the little blue box to the left & it will be getting a few more custom macro buttons here in a future episode really soon.

Jake from Metro Tech takes us on a first hand look at setting up the Neutrik DPRO Dante interface with a Yamaha QL1 console for the first time. Controlling these 2x2 Mic, Line & AES interfaces directly from your console is a huge benefit, and Jake shows us some common pitfalls to avoid along the way. The 2020 year end giveaway winners have been picked at random from all of the entries & are announced in this video as well. We've reached out via e-mail too to the winners & will be sending out their packages this week. Thanks to everyone who participated, and again to Neutrik & John Huntington for contributing the DLINE interface and the copies of his book.
