I don’t want to keep harping on about AI, but seriously. AI. I work in the creative sphere, and Adobe are (finally) earning their subscriptions. Lightroom’s new denoise DNG tool is massively impressive and not all that resource heavy. Photoshops generative fill solves so many problems with photo manipulation, my team is saving hours a week. On the video production side, crumplePop’s suite of audio correction tools is a game changer, and davinci resolves 18.5 beta has so much that we haven’t explored but I’m excited by.
Also, 32-bit float. Holy shit. It’s like recording audio in RAW. I no longer need to consider resourcing for audio production on smaller jobs.
consumer-grade field recorders can now capture in 32-bit float (I used Zoom F2s and have a Zoom F6), which reduces/removes our need to set levels beforehand or during. It effectively just has a ridiculous dynamic range.
I guess the technology has just recently made its way onto the scene for these sorts of products.
