I've been editing for almost 10 years independently and learned years ago NOT to use headphones with independent adjustable volume for audio editing since it doesn't allow you to hear everything as they'll actually sound natively. It's for this reason that I don't tend to purchase headphones with adjustable volume, and if I have one, I use another pair of earphones or headphones without that feature.

Here's my problem though, I'm cursed with the misfortune of killing my headphones pretty quickly and now I'm in a bind. All of my headphones are dead. The only ones I have left now is a pair of Logitech h800 wireless headphones which I got a few days ago for my birthday. They're actually pretty sweat headphones, but the problem is that these things have adjustable volume and I have to do some audio editing. I really don't want this to be holding me back right now.

Does anyone have strategies to combat this or know how to plateau the volume enhancement on headphones so that it's neutral and plays sound at its native volume? ]]> Hardware Problems Sephirex http://www.videoforums.co.uk/hardware-problems/44511-editing-adjustable-headphones.html http://www.videoforums.co.uk/hardware-problems/44336-replace-sensor.html Thu, 02 May 2013 12:11:10 GMT HI, techheads,
just seen that Aptina have released an 'off the shelf' 4k sensor.
does anyone know how feasible it is to replace the existing sensor in a camera with a superior one (not
necessarily a 4k one)
my (old) camera will only shoot 240p on 16:9 which is not really enough for what i do i would want to have at least 480
anyone have knowledge of these sort of diy issues?
thanks

I really do feel as lost as a blind person in a room of unfamiliar objects. I am not lazy, and can group around learning what's what as I go, but it is always a faster path to learning when someone can point you in the right direction.

That brings me to question #1: What reading material would anyone suggest for the beginner in video production? (I have only the most basic understanding of, lighting, rules of camera position, and basic pre /post production.)

I became interested in this forum, and gaining better video production skills, after shooting a few indoor videos with a web cam. I know a web cam is about as much like a real camera as a wiffle ball bat is like a hand turned piece of major league ash, but for making indoor videos of a monolog, I have found a web cam to work pretty well when I have the lighting right. Though not high quality, I have found the sound to be a bigger challenge than the video.

I have just tried to shoot a few outdoor shots, relying on a still digital camera with motion capabilities. :doh:

Question #2: What should I look for in a used camera of some quality, and what do I need to figure on spending. (I am on disability so my budget is very limited.) (Also a friend has told me that a high quality non-digital camcorder could be used, and the media be converted to digital? Is that a short term answer? Can the media be converted with out too much loss of quality? Or could the camcorder video be feed directly into a digital converter/possessor and saved to a HD?)

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
