Mix Minus on Sound Devices MixPre
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 เม.ย. 2020
- In today’s episode we show you when and how to setup a mix-minus when you record a podcast with your Sound Devices MixPre and you have a remote guest via Skype. A mix-minus makes it so that your remote podcast guest doesn’t have an annoying echo of their own voice in their headphones.

This is BRILLIANT! I had always struggled to understand what the stereo out bits meant and this has made it crystal clear. My FaceTime recording has come out very very clear this time round with no notable echo coming back into the recording. Thanks Curtis.
Glad to hear it helped! 👍
Mix minus or matrix mixes are a staple of the live event production world. We use it slightly differently but the concept is the same. Great video and glad to know sound devices are putting the feature in their gear.
Agreed, and props to live event mixers - some of the most skilled mixers I've ever seen.
This is brilliant. Never knew I could do it, now I’ll be using it all the time! Thank you.
Thanks Sarah and happy recording!
This video is GOLD, now I realize why the remote guest could not even hear me (I was ch2 as a coordinator) when we did a skype video a few months back. Thank you for explaining this so clearly.
Thanks Gary - best wishes on your next Skype video!
Again, leading the way in how to use these devices to the max Curtis!
Very grateful for you making these videos. Using the mixpre as my main audio interface for daily video calls, and it helps so much to have a clean signal back to them rather than relying on software to remove that 'echo'.
Thanks and happy calling!
Curtis, you are THE TH-camr I go to for audio advice. Wonderful as usual!
Thanks Hugh! And when I need some camera poetry, you'll find me at your channel. 😀
Curtis Judd 🥰
Love your videos on the MixPre. Thanks Curtis!
Thanks Livestream Universe!
the idea of routing is gold! thanks CJ.
👍
So helpful, Curtis. Thanks again for all the great content
Thanks Todd.
This is sooo easier on the mixer, but I really don't care if it takes 3 seconds, or 3 minutes. It works. Thanks for the tutorial.
👍
I check to make sure I'm subscribed every time I watch a video. Can never be too sure.
Haha, thanks Randy!
Oh, you should’ve done this video year and a half ago when I had spent a couple of days trying to figure out the exact combination of settings to make it work. And I did it somehow without fully knowing what some parts of UI are responsible for. So I’ve been using it since. Now I’m going to go through my setup and try to understand what I did back then. Thank you for that opportunity :D
👍
Super explanation. Can't wait to try it. I've been having issues with audio feedback from Zoom calling while recording, now I know what this is called.
I hope it solves the feedback issue!
Nice video Curtis! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Saw that the C300III hit today. If you end up covering it, I'm looking forward to that!
You explained this mode better than sound devices page. Excelent work!
Pablo Cepeda agreed. Ive noticed this trend that companies rely on content creators to “discover and explain” better than their engineers or employees.
Thanks Pablo!
Rough rough day today. Turned on some Curtis.......thank you Curtis!
👍 I hope tomorrow is better for you!
Hi Curtis, thank you for the great video! On the mixpre-6 mark 2 (and probably 1) it is possible to put USB1 and USB2 on Track 5 and 6. Those tracks seem not to be routed to the stereo mix, so this is the easier way for this devices to create a mix-minus.
Hi Leonid, yes, should be possible.
excellent tutorial again thanks!! we are on our way to that direction ♡
👍
@@curtisjudd Hello Curtis! Thanks for reviews!
Can you advise microphone and recorder for field recording, please? Budget for mic - $500-700
For the records: ambience and car (exhaust, interior, pass by, etc)
I plan to buy recorder SD MixPre 3 II, or Tascam DR-100. And plan to buy Oktava 012 or Rode NTG3.
Thank you!
Great advice! Basically this is what we do in the AV business for conference telephone bridge equipment.
Thanks Robert.
Amazing. I'm F6 user. the setting is almost the same. Thanks Curtis.
Interesting, I didn't think this was possible with an F6.
@@curtisjudd, this feature works only with 'AIF with Rec'. with normal Audio interface mode, you can use the LoopBack feature. but if you use this mode you lose 32bit float recording. 32bit float doesn't work with the normal audio interface. as you know F6 doesn't support 32bit float recording on Mac or PC. which is the biggest downside of this recorder. if you are a Mac user you can record 32bit float with an inbuilt onboard sound device. this is a shame for Zoom F6. but you can record 32bit with Sound devices Mix Pre 3.
It seems a lot of people had this issue nowadays :) Thanks Curtis for sharing this.
👍
Why I didn't knew it was possible with this field recorder earlier :)
Now you know! Happy recording!
Very helpful, thank you. I am looking at options for my sister to start podcasting and trying to refresh and expand my knowledge from my tinkering days of 'messing about with PA'. Learning a lot from your filems. I have always thought that with Skype ect the main reason why the audio is bloody awful a lot of the time is that the software is fighting to echo cancel and the simplest way to make the situation better in everyday calls is to use at least some form of headphones, or phone headphones with a mic, so that at least one of you is not looping.
I agree. That's my policy when I record remotely. Everyone needs to be using headphones or in-ear monitors.
@@curtisjudd Thanks for your reply. Made my day :)
That is an awesome trick!!
👍
I know this is an old video but I'd love your take on if it's possible to record conversations on an iPhone 15 (with USB-C) directly with MixPre-3. I know how to do it with Rodecaster Pro. But it would be very handy to have either an interview recorded via MixPre-3 or as a remote guest without any big setup. The iPhone 15 can actually power up MixPre-3, so it could be an ultra portable setup if possible.
Audio Hijack or Loopback from Rogue Amoeba makes this much easier to see visually where audio is routed. I can connect my USB Audio interface/recorder to a Zoom call simultaneously with a Google Voice call through Chrome.
Thanks Romeo, just downloaded the trial versions of both yesterday to have a closer look at them.
One thing I suggest is starting the Skype call or whatever you are doing before you press record. I have had issues with the device locking out the software if you press record first. I think it may change settings if you aren't careful. It falls back to built-in mics and such for me.
!
Thanks Bangs. Always appreciate your input.
Great tutorial as usual! On my MP6ii there was no “Output” menu! Reason was that I was in Custom, not Advanced, mode. Changing to Advance fisted that, but why doesn’t Custom mode have Output menu?
If you are in custom mode and want the Outputs menu, you need to go into System->Custom Setup-> and change Outputs to Advanced.
Something that helps to confuse things on a MixPre mix minus is that Outputs / St. Output is where you set up what analog signal goes out of the Stereo Output 3.5mm jack. But on a MixPre that menu is both a bus router AND an analog output selector combined. You set up the two output busses L and R and whatever you select for L and R also goes out of the Stereo Output connector even if you don’t use it, like here when you are only concerned with what goes out of the USB output. Please check me on this as I am not near my MixPre.
I believe you are correct, Allen.
Hi @Curtis Judd What's device you're using to hold the MixPre at an angle? I'd like something like that for my 10 ii.
It is called the Pix-E stand by Sound Devices.
@@curtisjudd thanks sir. Appreciate your hard work
That's a great tip! And can we use AutoMix or use physical Control faders like the Korg Nano the same time while it's connected to computer?
Yes, you can use MixAssist at the same time. I'll need to check to see if you can use it as an audio interface and a controls surface at the same time with a powered USB hub...cannot remember off the top of my head.
Cant' ever thank you enough
🙏
@@curtisjuddHi, I've been scared to go to custom mode and change the gain setting back to basic because I'm worried it won't record ISO tracks. If I keep everything else on Advances and gain on basic will it still record ISO?
@@mrfrosty3681 Oh, it will still record ISO tracks. Give it a try on a test recording. Happy recording!
Hey Curtis, nice video is it possible to do a mix minus on the Zoom F8n.
Unfortunately, I don't believe it is. The F8n's routing doesn't support this level of routing.
Thank you for this video, just to make sure I got you. The reason why you are routing everything (but the caller) to the stereo out L is because Skype or FaceTime will only be able to choose one monophonic USB device as source ? Is that correct ?
That leads me to a question, what if I want to do the same mix-minus routing but in stereo ? Would I also need to do the same on the USB 2 device output but with stereo out R and route the same sources to it ? Thx
Yes. I don’t know about stereo with this setup.
Thanks for the great videos. Just purchased your course on the MixPre series! Question: Can I have a guest with mix minus and at the same time play sound from the computer to the MixPre through the USB connection, so that the guest also hears it? Does that sound need to be routed to its own channel? What I'm wondering is if the MixPre-3 has enough channels / tracks to accommodate 2 hosts, 1 remote guest and also play other sound from the computer, or if I need a MixPre-6 to pull that off.
Hi Daniel, you'd need a MixPre-6 to pull that off. Unfortunately the MixPre-3 just doesn't have enough channels in this case.
@@curtisjudd that was my (quite uncertain) conclusion as well looking at the specs. Glad I changed my order to a MixPre-6 that should arrive any day now! Thanks for your reply.
Great video, Curtis! I have the first MixPre version. Is the expanded outputs menu only available on the Mixpre 3 II? I'm only seeing St Out Mute, St. Out Gain, St. Out Left and St. Out Right. I'm not seeing USB Output. Thanks for your help! :)
Hi Jason, yes, will still work with the original MixPre series, just confirmed on my original MixPre-10T here. Make sure you're on the latest firmware which is currently version 6.0. Best wishes!
@@curtisjudd Ahah! I was definitely behind on a firmware update! Thank you so much Curtis. And thank you in general. You've been an immense help over the years and I am very thankful for you and your channel! Have a great day! :)
Would you recommend the Azden SGM-250 with a FetHead? When comparing sound clips, I enjoyed this microphone more than the Rode Videomic NTG and even to the Deity Microphone S-Mic 2. I like an unflattering sound. Not so much “broadcasty.”
I also listened the Oktava MK-012 and Beyerdynamic M 201 TG as well. A commenter said the following about the Beyerdynamic M 201 TG:
“Worth noting that the Shure A81WS fits this thing, and will completely eliminate plosives. Add a FetHead to smooth the gain issue, and you've got what I would argue is the best spoken word mic in the sub-Neumann class.”
Thoughts? Opinions? Guidance on what to get as a first microphone for films?
Thank you Curtis of you see this!
I wasn't a fan of the SGM-250 - it didn't have a broadcast-y sound to it, but it seemed to hype the mid-frequencies in a way that wasn't good, at least with my voice. However, Azden has made some newer mics which I quite like: th-cam.com/video/nCeoK1DcX1A/w-d-xo.html
I would avoid buying any microphone which will need a fethead or cloudlifter all the time. I see those as tools to solve a problem in a pinch. Also, a fathead would NOT be necessary if you're recording with a MixPre or a Zoom F series recorder. They all provide plenty of clean gain.
Hope that helps a little? Probably not what you wanted to hear. 😉
Very insightful Curtis! Thank you million.
Maybe a dumb question, but since we are sending channels 1/2 out of the L output, does that mean they will only hear audio out of their left speaker, or am I just missing something? Im assuming it doesnt matter since the way they are getting audio would be completely dependent on how they have their audio setup, is this correct? Thanks in advance Curtis, your videos are always so helpful.
They'll get a single mono channel of audio which in 99.9% of cases is configured to play back in both L&R on their side.
Hi! great video. i own a Mix Pre 6 and really like this solution for a podcast. when you say Audio interface are you refering to using a DAW and recording from there by assigning tracks? or is it simply recording in the SD card.
can you monitor the whole mix (both people with mics in room and audio from call)?
Yes, that's exactly what I meant when I referred to the audio interface feature - connected to a computer or mobile device via USB and recording on the computer in a DAW app. Yes, you can monitor everything.
@Curtis Judd Great video. Have a question, is it possible to have mic on ch-1, usb on ch-2 and phone caller on ch-3 via aux in? On a Mix pre3 ver 1 or 2
Yes, should be possible.
Hi Curtis. Possibly a separate topic idea for another video, but how can we use this kind of config for video conference calls? Headphones aren’t desirable in some settings which makes each cancellation important.
Hi Sarah, you might use in-ear monitors like news reporters if that is an option.
Curtis Judd I appreciate your reply. Any recommendations on ones that can be hidden effectively. I did a search but they all seem pretty large like iPods. I really would like to use my MixPre II (bought on your reccomendation) and shotgun (Rode NTG3) with my Z6 to do conference calls, but Im worried about echo. Wearing cans isn’t a look I can use. Do you know what models television news uses?
does this setup work on the Zoom app as well? Thanks in advance!
Yes.
What do we select as our microphone and speaker in Zoom when doing this? Do we select the MixPre as the microphone since we're sending our signal through the MixPre?
Yes. And also set the speaker to MixPre if you'll be using headphones connected to the MixPre.
Another question, is it possible to get two mix minuses, setup with the mixpre 6, and have them hear each other, without including software?
I don't see a way to do that, unfortunately.
Question here is. Can you also record the splut tracks in Logic X and the Mix Pre simultaneously? I had this working and my workflow broke
Should be able to. Contact SD support if you need help getting it working again.
@@curtisjudd typ. In touch with Laura. She is very helpful. Exact matching settings on two different logic setups and I cant get it working on the new machine. Will keep you posted.
Does this mean the guest would only hear you out of their left channel? Also, would this mix minus work for the 3.5mm stereo output going into a camera (say for a livestream pulling audio from the video source)?
No, they'd hear the same thing in both channels. And yes, this would work for the 3.5mm output.
Hi Curtis, what would you recommend for recording a group of people at a meeting (4 to 10 +)?
Pressure zone microphones on the table, lavs ,conference systems like Philips DPM8900 or else?
I find it quite difficult to handle. Thanks in advance!
Ideally, each person would have their own dynamic microphone. But if that isn't feasible, then I'd probably go with a boundary mic or mics on the table. Will still need to mix. Best wishes!
@@curtisjudd Thanx a lot :)
Is the Mix-Pre good for streaming to Twitch with my Mac Studio?
Sure.
Hi Curtis, thanks a lot for your reviews! Recently I purchased a Mixpre 6 II and I find that the signal on input 1 is stronger than input 2 by about 2 to 3dB (I checked with the LUFS-Analytics tool in Audition, matched pair of microphones plus I switched sides). Is this normal? If I record stereo, I have to normalize the channels separately to get the levels right, which is a bit frustrating...
I haven’t noticed this on my MixPres. Probably best to contact Sound Devices support. Beat wishes!
@@curtisjudd Thank you for your quick reply! I'll do that.
Would this setup work for a Zoom chat? Say if it were just me on Channel 1 and I ran the Mix Minus on Channel 2 for all of the people I see on my screen. Would this eliminate echoing on the people I am talking to/viewing?
Yes, and in fact, Zoom’s echo cancellation will usually manage that as well.
Hi Curtis,
Really sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but really new to TH-cam. My question is I need to film and record four people sat in a semi circle in a 6ft arch. I’m thinking one microphone on a boom in the centre above the talent so about three feet from everyone. Will one microphone achieve this and if so witch one? Budget around $500 ish. We have a tascam pre amp.
It can work, yes, though it is ideal for each person to have their own mic. Something like a RODE NT5 should do the job.
Is it possible to do mix minus by connecting headphones/line out to aux in ( channels 5/6 on Mixpre) and Mixpre stereo out to line/aux in on computer? Say if you were powering the Mixpre by battery or with power adapter ( not using it as an audio interface)? Hope I am not the only one who tried a mix minus this way. Thanks Curtis, been wanting someone to do this video since the original Mixpres released ( a long long time ago).
Hadn’t thought of that. But if it is working, that’s great!
@@curtisjudd I gave up on the Mixpre minus, as I never got it working. Another scenario is more than two people ( Mixpre 6 connected as USB audio interface) in the same room, on PC , obs and streamlabs, your stream will only hear the first two mics, anyone else will only be heard coming through someone else's mic, even though in headphones it sounds fine. Mixpre series is very nice gear. However without experience, most people would need a very detailed manual. That is something most people would gladly pay for.
Can you compare mixpre ii and focusrite, say clarett? I am thinking about using mixpre as a audio interface, and want to know if it is a good idea.
Hi kimihyeon, I wish I could but I do not have a Clarett on hand to do the comparison. I'm assuming you're trying to buy one device for field recording and as an audio interface? I can say that the preamps are great on the MixPre so you certainly would not be sacrificing quality there.
Hello, a question ... how can I connect a smartphone (Android) to a MixPre6 gen1 with a small one. Rode NTG4? .. I want a sound control and a better quality in a Live on youtube ... I connected the smartphone to the port (stereo out) but further on there is no control on Channel 1 (Gain) .. it is possible this combination? thanks
Hi Ninel, are you streaming from the phone and need to get the audio from the MixPre into the phone? I think you'll need a TRS to TRRS adapter as phones usually expect a TRRS input. Something like this should do the job: bhpho.to/31drMgK

Thanks for the video , does this mix-minus works with loud speaker too ? As some guest prefer speaker over headphone. Thanks
I don’t recommend that but yes, it will mot play back their own voice in their speakers.
@@curtisjuddthanks, its headache when bosses have their own preference , i will try lower the speaker volume as much as possible , i am also considering Rodecaster pro with all channel already mixminus enabled , while sound device seem harder to use by non-techy people? (Setting up a studio for marketing colleagues) thankssss again
The MixPre is primarily a field recorder while the RODECaster Pro is primarily a podcast recorder. So it really depends on what you’re doing. But yes, the RODECaster Pro is generally easier to operate for studio.
@@curtisjudd thanks for your explanation 🙏
Curtis can you do this on the Zoom F6 as well?
I didn’t see a way when I quickly checked, unfortunately. Will look more closely when I’ve got a bit of time.
@@curtisjudd Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Hi, I'd love to see your take on a Rode NT-SF1, or is that a too specialized a microphone for your channel?
I would, too. 😀 First I need the budget so I can buy it.
@@curtisjudd Yes it's expensive, but perhaps Rode will sent you one. If they had half a brain they would.
Hahaha!
Since I am only beginning into the podcast space, and sadly I am based in Hong Kong, anyway I can get around to not buying a mixpre? I do have a Zoom H5, installed OBS on my laptop, also have audacity, I did order an audio interface (NI Komplete 2 although with COVID-19 around no one knows when I can get this). Thank you.
Hello Jose. You can try to rely on the echo cancellation feature of Skype.
What do you set your Output>Stereo Out Right setting? Do you leave it blank?
Also down in the bottom, I see ISO, is that a custom setting you have?
I don't bother with the stereo out right. Just leave it at default. Nothing custom here, just be sure you're in advanced mode.
@@curtisjudd I ended up setting USB 1 to stereo out Left, USB 2 to stereo out Right after applying your settings and I think that completed my output recording issues.
@@dougparsons3868 👍
Can this be done on the Zoom F6 too?
Sadly, I don't believe it can.
@@curtisjudd What about the F4?
Could the two people who disliked this video bury their heads in shame please. Human psychology is a complex thing, eh?
Hahaha! Thanks Patrick.
Probably dislexya is to blame here. These guys focused on the tumbsUP and they hit the thumbsDown....only reasonable explanation. Or maybe a former girlfriend....we never know...
if I'm just doing a 1 on 1 zoom call, do I need to setup a mix minus in this scenario?
No.
@@curtisjudd thx, but don't I need to route the zoom caller to say channel 2 via USB 2 input so I can control the zoom caller's signal?
@@patentjohntran1283 In my testing, no, that was not necessary.
I'm trying to do this with my iphone instead of laptop (for clubhouse) but my phone is playing the audio through it's speaker, not sending other people's audio into mixpre. Can't figure out what I'm missing. Anyone have ideas?
Probably best to contact SD support.
@@curtisjudd Looking at SD's dismal manual for the MixPre3II, I was scared!
Then you told me to contact their support, and they are fast and effective!
I received full, working instruction for what I needed to do within 24 hours.
I wish they will collect all their CS responses to combine them into a better manual...!
@@Pharesm Or you can take my MixPre course over at School.LearnLightAndSound.com 😀
@@curtisjudd There's something!

@@curtisjudd If they are good enough for the man himself, well, I think i found my next set! Been looking for a decent set of cans, not so much for monitoring because I use adam audio studio monitors, but those look really comfy and I know from other people they sound decent, thanks for the reply, and thanks for cranking out the amazing videos, that mix minus video for the mixpre3 was ultra handy, thank you man!
You bet! Happy mixing!
Curtis I'm a sound newbie, does the xlr cable make any difference in a recording and what would you recommend that's good value for the money?
The connectors with better strain relief make the cables last longer. Neutrik connectors are often are thought of as the best for common cabling. If you want a value cable, the Hosa Pro line use Rean connectors (I think Chinese licensed old-style Neutrik connectors) and 90% shielded cables. These are heavy 20 AWG wire and the added weight may bother people. Canare Star-Quad cables at 95%+ shielded and use genuine Neutrik connectors as do Mogami Gold cables if you have the cash to burn.
None of this for short runs will sound significantly different than a decent generic cable. The warranty and decent construction may make them worth the cost.
!
Agreed with Bangs - you're mostly paying for durability and long life with the more expensive cables. The cheaper cables have a tendency to short out or fail when one of the solder points fail inside the connectors due to stress on the cables. I use custom Mogami cables with Neutrik connectors which are made by my local pro audio shop. In my mind, they're worth the price as they've been in service for years. I cannot say I can hear a difference, I just find that the more expensive cables have a longer service life.
Hi @curtisjudd!
I would like to share with you what I think is a bug that I have found in MIXPRE10-II.
To reproduce it just follow these steps:
+ Set your L output and add a delay
+ Set USB1 output to L output
+The delay is NOT applied in the USB signal but it is applied in the L output.
What I expect if I set a relation between L and a USB output is to get EXACTLY the same, including the delay. And as you can see it is NOT the case.
This is important because if I want to define a mix minus for Zoom or Skype for example, and I am using an external camera, I need to add a delay to sync audio and video in the laptop and it is not possible to do with this bug using the MIXPRE-10 II as an audio interface.
I have communicated this info to Sound Devices but I think it would be useful for you too.
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the info. The delay feature is mainly for syncing digital wireless systems and wired mics or a feed from a digital mixing board and wired mics. The 30ms max delay generally is not enough for syncing video where 30ms is less than a frame at 24fps.
Nevertheless, this is a problem if using one of the scenarios above - digital wireless or digital mixing board.
Curtis Judd I am talking about the mixpre10 and the delay function related to outputs not inputs. Sorry if my previous explanation was not right :-)
That functionality is only available in the mixpre10
Ah, thanks, understood now. Handy - up to almost 9 frame delay range at 24p. Thanks for the clarification.
And interesting that is is only available on the MixPre-10T and 10 II. Likely a bit more buffer space available...
Curtis Judd let’s see if I have an answer from sound devices about the issue. It is really a problem if you want to create a mix minus using an external camera with Zoom or similar.
If it were not for content creators I wouldn’t understand WHY to do something, that manufacturers try to explain themselves in an instruction manual.
👍
Hello, my friend, how are you ..
You talk a lot about this blender.
You didn't tell us if I can stream live with sounds like: Reverb + sound effects
Hi AZIZ, the MixPre is made primarily for video and podcast production so it does not come with a reverb or other types of effects commonly used in music. You can add the Musician plugin which adds reverb as well as a couple of other effects, but not a proper compressor or EQ. If you need those things, you're probably better off with a more traditional mixing board with those effects. Best wishes!
Hello Aziz,
As Curtis explained, the MixPre is mainly for video sound recording and podcast production. It's a very good product. However, what you just asked will be easier - and logical - to achieve with a mixer like the RODECaster Pro (but it differs a little from a traditional mixer, even concerning the effects that can be applied).
Besides, Curtis talked about it and showed it in detail in his previous videos.
And for the "direct" effects, it's rather achievable with "ordinary' mixers
@@ahmedadambd1939 Thank you so much ..
On clarification, Mr. Ahmed ..
I have libraries: VST and I was thinking of using it for this mixer .. via REAPER
@@curtisjudd thank you very much. You are very kind .. and what you offer is special
Second
So close!
This is a little off topic but relates to the mixpre. I just purchased a mixpre 6 II, and it appears that I may need a special software to handle the 32 bit float files. Will Apple’s logic pro work? If not, is there something out there that’s not crazy expensive?
Reaper is a great starting point. www.sounddevices.com/32-bit-float-applications/
Davinci Resolve is also worth a look and is free. It will read and process 32-bit float audio files, but the waveform graphics are not rendered correctly.

Iwata has a new RGB LED light called Iwata Master. It's a new form factor, tube form light. What do you think of this light and form factor?
th-cam.com/video/aPlsn1E8Kp0/w-d-xo.html
Looks nice! I use tube lights for rims quite often. They are soft in one dimension which means they don't take up a lot of room when you're in a constrained space. I don't use them too often as a key light, however. But really useful as a rim or effects light. And the Iwata Master looks to be well made.
@@curtisjudd thanks for your comment. Thought it was a new type since I haven't seen this on TH-cam yet. Will there be a chance that you review any of the tube shaped lights? Thanks in advance.
