Thanks for the tip! It just so happens that I ordered TB4 cables from Amazon and they are due today. I'll take a look to see if I can get more speed. The cables I ordered are Maxonar brand because they are cheap! I'll stop by the Apple Store and get one of theirs as well just for comparison!

You're welcome. I have a test of a different MagSafe SSD Enclosure coming up shortly.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Glad to hear you liked it! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!

Sorry for the oversight. The model is TBU405 Pro. I got it from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Enclosure-Cooling-Installation-M1-Compatible/dp/B0C8CZB5S7?th=1 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. Currently I don't own a PC. I may get one just from testing but I've been using MAC since 1992 and do like the system.

Glad to hear you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I only used the .5 MM thermal pad.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Mic. Sorry talk to text

Hi Tommy. I'll see if we can figure it out. The native camera app should select a mic connected to the USB C automatically. The native app doesn't have a way to manually select the audio source. Have you tried any other camera app? The BlackMagic app for example will allow you to select the internal mic, the USB C mic or a bluetooth mic in the audio settings. Beast cam will allow you to select the internal mic of your choice (front, back or bottom) or the USB C mic. Let me know if this helped and thanks for watching!

@@ed-tech-review I tried BC and the only microphone that shows up is the default iPhone one and I’ve tried three different ones. So I’m honestly not sure.

The cable is usb c on both ends. I don't have my iPhone 12 Pro Max any more but I don't think that model iPhone will record ProRes. I do think you can get a lightning to usb c adaptor which might work for external storage for regular video but I haven't tried it myself.

@@ed-tech-review the 12 Pro Max is capable of 4K. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to film that directly onto external ssd due to file size etc?

@@alansibley Sure, recording directly to external ssd will save space on the iPhone. I think you might be able to use this with the MagSafe on you 12 ProMax. I would try getting the adapter first and testing it with an external ssd before ordering the Acasis 2230 enclosure and an ssd card for it. I sold my 12 ProMax when I got the 14 ProMax but from now on I'm keeping all my iPhones I think. I use both the 14 ProMax and the 15 ProMax when recording videos and I really don't get that much when I sell an old one. Thanks for watching and I hope it works out for you. Let me know how it works please.

In the end I only used the 1.0 mm strip and it's working great. I do keep the fan funning when I'm editing video and the case stays pretty much at room temperature. Thanks for watching!

I think I had them connected correctly but just to be sure I'll try them out again. I set a reminder to do that tomorrow.

Thanks for watching! Yes, they do continue to improve Background Remover! I will probably do an updated review in the next week or so.

Yes they are. I like it very much, my only complaint is it's a little large for every day carry in my pocket. I keep this light on my night stand in case anything goes bump!

Thanks for watching and thank you for the thought on the background music. I try to balance being able to hear the music without making it too loud because I know it is distracting if it is too loud. I agree it would have been good to have the music a couple of DB lower in this case.

PS: In watching the video again myself I noticed that in addition to having the music a little loud in my concluding recap I was a little "stiff" so I'll work on the as well! Have a great day!

I’m glad we’re talking about only your taste lol .. This is a classic review 😊

Although I found the Beats uncomfortable they do offer better noise suppression. However, for convenience of use the AirPods fit in your pocket and I always have mine with me. I use them for music and they do have good noise cancellation but it's not perfect. Another thing I use them for a lot is telephone calls. So for on the go I suggest the AirPods, at home the Beats do give better noise cancellation. I hope this helps and thanks for watching. ... By the way, I did return the Beats and although I said in the video I couldn't see spending 600 bucks on the AirPods Max that is what I did in the end. I use them when I'm home working on the computer. They are comfortable and I like them a lot.

I personally prefer the AirPod Pro. I find the Beats Studio to be uncomfortable although they do provide better sound isolation. Due to the comfort issue I returned the Beats and bought the AirPod Max which I plan to review shortly. Hint: I have kept the AirPod Max and use it most of the time when I'm in my office. I still love the AirPod Pro for on the go. Thanks for watching!

@@ed-tech-review Thanks for the comment i'll buy air pods pro

@@atakan1913 I believe you'll enjoy them but please let me know how you like them.

You're welcome and thank you for watching! I'm working on two more ssd enclosure reviews which should be uploaded in the next week.

I expect they will continue to go down a little as time goes on. I think there will be a new version maybe as early as June 10th. Thanks for watching!

Hi Thomas, in my opinion I think Background Remover is better. They both struggle with lots of movement but Keyper is not as good. The best result is with mRotoAI but the biggest drawback with this one is the processing time increases dramatically with longer clips. Also, I don't like the subscription model and may not renew next year. Thanks for watching!

@@ed-tech-review Thanks so much! That seems to be the conclusion of some other KZbinrs as well. I'm really looking at Background Render at this point, but I'm gonna wait until after WWDC to see if Apple improves their native bg remover inside FCP, or perhaps their new iPad version will do it fabulously. Like you, I very much resist the subscription models, and for that reason not looking at mRotoAI at all at this point. I'd sooner spring for the iPad FCP subscription if that one is good. Thanks again! 🙏

Thanks for watching! I just used the standard pad that came with the SSD. One major reason I chose this enclosure was the fan. The noise is not a factor and the case stays absolutely cool to the touch.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks so much! I have two more videos on this type of storage I'm working on. It just seems there aren't enough hours in the day!

@@ed-tech-review oh it seems you are overbusy.

Thanks for watching! In the review I initally found the Soundpeats didn't produce the quality of audio I would want. However, after I ran the Equalization program on the Soundpeats app the base response was greatly improved. When I selected the "Base Boost" preset on the app I personally found the quality very good and as I said in the video as good as the AirPod Pro Gen II. I am a big fan of Apple Products and the AirPod Pro II is the fourth set of AirPods I have owned over the years. I just bought the AirPod Max and will be doing a review on them shortly. As far as the Soundpeats, the disadvantages I mentioned in the video include the fact that they don't integrate seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem, as well as they don't have the advanced features of the AirPods such as noise cancelation. That being said, they are a very inexpensive set and for anyone that can't justify more money for a better set they are a great choice. As far as female vocals, I just went back and listened to Prospero's Speech by Loreena McKennitt and compared them with the AirPods on that song and again I found the sound quality to be on the same level. Perhaps I'm just not the refined audiophile that you are.

​@@ed-tech-review music isn't all about bass tho and female vocals sound horrible no matter what u do to eq them. That's an issue they don't sound anywhere close to airpods. The pixel buds a go on sale for like $70 and they sound 100x better

I respect that and I mostly hear the tinny and shrill vocals with female singers that have high vocals say Mariah Carey for example or Adele. I purchased these with my $ and I just wish they didn't sound so shrill personally. If u find them to sound good why buy something as expensive as airpods max? I love apple products so I really want to buy a set of beats studio buds plus but it does kind of scare me to spend $150 on earbuds that could stop working within a few weeks. I'm personally not sure if I'll risk it. I truT apple to make things right but almost no other company would I trust because you could be out $170 if they stop working in a month. Given that I'm honestly no sure what to do.

Hi Rich. I already owned the AirPod Pros and have been using them a long time. I got the original AirPods when they first came out. The reason I got to SoundPeats was just to do a review on them. I had no intention of using them long term. While I really like the AirPods Pro I now only use them when I'm out of the house. I bought the AirPods Max because my 13 year old step daughter's bedroom is just down the hall from my office. While the AirPods Pro have good noise cancelation they aren't good enough to block out Autumn when she is playing "music" or on the phone with her friends. The AirPods Max do an outstanding job of cancelling her out! I no longer hear a peep from her room! I still have to ask her to be quiet when I'm recording something. Thanks for watching! I hope you find just the right ear buds from your needs.

I got curious and looked it up. AirPods can out in September 2016 and I've been using one model or another since. I remember when I first got them there were several comments from others to the effect that I lost my wires to the earbuds.

Thanks for watching! They just released Keyper 2.0.1 and I really don't see any improvement in it.

Thanks for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching! I had high hopes for Background Remover and it is better than Keyper but still need improvement.

Thank you! You may enjoy this comparison of Keyper vs Background Remover recently released by FXFactory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TSnayJoN2anLM

Thanks will check it out! @@ed-tech-review

I'm happy you like it! I'm working on a new review comparing an inexpensive enclosure with an expensive one. Should be posted in two days. Thanks for watching!

@@ed-tech-review Oh that's excellent, thanks! I'm currently in the market for one of these, so I look forward to it, cheers!

I hear you! I haven't had time or really desire to look at resolve but I should download the free version and take a look. I HATE the subscription model. I had purchased several plugins from them in the past and I really like Final Cut. On the other hand it wouldn't hurt to broaden my horizons a little with at least getting acquainted with resolve. Thanks for watching!

If they could speed up the processing it would be huge! Thanks for watching!

Thanks again for watching! No worries, I was actually in the Apple Store this afternoon buying some things. I spoke with one of the folks there and she wasn't clear on the chips currently in the computers. She was thinking the 16 inch MacBook Pro had an M3 Ultra chip but of course the top chip available in that computer is the M3 Max. I am waiting for the Studio with the M3 Ultra and I hope it's here by June! There are so many different specs it's hard to keep up with! I have a couple more videos coming up in the next few days. Sebastian is a happy, energetic little guy. When he crashed out on the couch for a nap I had to get the picture!

Hi Nick! Thanks for watching. On the Studio M1 Max (and the M2 Max) the front ports are usb c 3.1. On the Ultra version of both Studio computers all six ports are Thunderbolt 4.

Thanks for watching! FXFactory just released version 2 of Keyper at no additional cost to those that have already purchased it. I am working on an updated comparison which should be posted on Saturday. At this point I'm not sure at all that I will renew my subscription to mRotoAL when it is up for renewal. Unless it gets drastically better I probably won't.

@@ed-tech-review yes, I have seen it. But it is still, fundamentally different product than mRoto AI and I would like drawing masks around objects as well. Even in the demos of Keyper v2 I can see patches disappearing momentarily and that is not easily recovered unless going into that specific frame an patch it out

That is the speed of the thunderbolt ports and unless my math is wrong that would calculate out to a theoretical max of 5,000 Mbytes/sec but as I said I'm very happy with the speed I'm getting.

Thanks for watching! Sorry it took me sooooo long to reply!
