Was sick all week, along with one of my kids who was home all week so far.
Rearranged records that I’m selling on Discogs. There are a bunch more I need to list.

Tested the 24mm f/2.8 at 2.8, ISO 200, Rode connected directly to 90D with SC8 cable. I turned the gain all the down plus one notch on the 90D, and gain on the Rode at 8. It’s way lower than before via USB. I’ll try turning up the gain on the Rode.
Registered Canon lenses. I hadn’t registered the 10-18 and 24-70.
Tried gain at 10. Sounds better. Need to listen with headphones.
Delay problems seems to be fixed with SC8.
Tweeted photo of livestream setup and asked for feedback.
Spike said to bump up the lighting a bit more due to shadow under eyelids. I think it’s the ring light that needs to be bumped up and maybe the light dome 5% or so.
I switched out the diffuser from the thick one to the thinner one but I think it’s too harsh, at least at 80%. I like the softer look of the thicker one.
Better to test tomorrow morning without glasses to compare before and after. At 75% still have that harsh reflection on my forehead.
