No video this coming week. It did not turn out how I thought it would. Many audio issues plagued me with the video, and I’ve spent over a week trying to fix it. I tried using the tablet I control the ASI Air as my audio source when showing what’s happening in the app, apparently that’s an awful idea. My mic doesn’t work too well with it. Lesson learned.
