Adobe AI Model Training and Content Analysis

2026-04-09T17:36:44Z

Krusea: /* Generative AI */

Questions and concerns about how Adobe uses user content for artificial intelligence and product improvement have become increasingly common in higher education. This article attempts to clarify Adobe’s policies around AI model training, content analysis, and data privacy.

== Adobe ID's ==
* Every Evergreen account has a federated Adobe ID associated with it that uses the Evergreen email address and password to sign in.
* Users can also create a personal Adobe ID with their Evergreen email address (or any other email address).
* So one email address can be associated with two separate adobe accounts which can cause confusion.

== Content Analysis ==
The Adobe [https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/content-analysis-faq.html Content Analysis FAQ] contains information on opting out of content analysis.

=== Local Content ===
* "For clarity, all references to “content” in this FAQ are meant to refer to content processed or stored on our servers not your local device (like a computer, phone or tablet)."

=== Content Analysis for Product Improvement ===
* With a personal Adobe ID users can go to [https://account.adobe.com/privacy account.adobe.com/privacy] and opt out of content analysis.
* Federated Evergreen ID's are automatically opted out.
** '"You have been automatically opted out from content analysis for product improvement when using Creative Cloud and Document Cloud apps. This setting does not apply when you separately choose to participate in product improvement programs."

* If users voluntarily participate in programs like beta releases, Adobe Stock, etc their data could be used for content analysis.

== Generative AI ==
Adobe states in the [https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/content-analysis-faq.html Content Analysis FAQ]
* "We do not analyze your content to train generative AI models, unless you choose to submit content to the Adobe Stock marketplace."
* "Our Adobe Firefly generative AI models were trained on licensed content, like Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired." 

There is additional information in the Adobe [https://www.adobe.com/ai/overview/firefly/gen-ai-approach.html Gen AI Approach article].
* "Adobe Firefly models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Adobe Stock content is covered under a separate license agreement, and Adobe compensates contributors for the use of that content."
* "We do not train and have never trained Adobe Firefly on user content."

=== Concerns ===
Some people have brought up issues with training on Adobe Stock content. Users upload and license content to Adobe Stock. They only get paid when customers use the purchase the content via Adobe Stock. Adobe Stock pre-dates the Adobe Firefly model training. Some users uploaded content to Adobe Stock before AI training existed and the Adobe Stock license agreement was later modified. Some users had content on stock images sites that were later bought by Adobe. There is a [https://www.wired.com/story/adobe-says-it-wont-train-ai-using-artists-work-creatives-arent-convinced/ Wired.com article] on some of the issues.

Adobe has been making bonus payments to Adobe Stock users for the Firefly AI training.

2026-04-09T17:35:23Z

Krusea: /* Adobe ID's */

Questions and concerns about how Adobe uses user content for artificial intelligence and product improvement have become increasingly common in higher education. This article attempts to clarify Adobe’s policies around AI model training, content analysis, and data privacy.

== Adobe ID's ==
* Every Evergreen account has a federated Adobe ID associated with it that uses the Evergreen email address and password to sign in.
* Users can also create a personal Adobe ID with their Evergreen email address (or any other email address).
* So one email address can be associated with two separate adobe accounts which can cause confusion.

== Content Analysis ==
The Adobe [https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/content-analysis-faq.html Content Analysis FAQ] contains information on opting out of content analysis.

=== Local Content ===
* "For clarity, all references to “content” in this FAQ are meant to refer to content processed or stored on our servers not your local device (like a computer, phone or tablet)."

=== Content Analysis for Product Improvement ===
* With a personal Adobe ID users can go to [https://account.adobe.com/privacy account.adobe.com/privacy] and opt out of content analysis.
* Federated Evergreen ID's are automatically opted out.
** '"You have been automatically opted out from content analysis for product improvement when using Creative Cloud and Document Cloud apps. This setting does not apply when you separately choose to participate in product improvement programs."

* If users voluntarily participate in programs like beta releases, Adobe Stock, etc their data could be used for content analysis.

== Generative AI ==
Adobe states in the [https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/content-analysis-faq.html Content Analysis FAQ]
* "We do not analyze your content to train generative AI models, unless you choose to submit content to the Adobe Stock marketplace."

* "Our Adobe Firefly generative AI models were trained on licensed content, like Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired." 

There is additional information in the Adobe [https://www.adobe.com/ai/overview/firefly/gen-ai-approach.html Gen AI Approach article].
* "Adobe Firefly models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Adobe Stock content is covered under a separate license agreement, and Adobe compensates contributors for the use of that content."
* "We do not train and have never trained Adobe Firefly on user content."

=== Concerns ===
Some people have brought up issues with training on Adobe Stock content. Users upload and license content to Adobe Stock. They only get paid when customers use the purchase the content via Adobe Stock. Adobe Stock pre-dates the Adobe Firefly model training. Some users uploaded content to Adobe Stock before AI training existed and the Adobe Stock license agreement was later modified. Some users had content on stock images sites that were later bought by Adobe. There is a [https://www.wired.com/story/adobe-says-it-wont-train-ai-using-artists-work-creatives-arent-convinced/ Wired.com article] on some of the issues.

Adobe has been making bonus payments to Adobe Stock users for the Firefly AI training.

Also Adobe now has ways to connect to third party models. If you use a third party model the IP Indemnification does not apply.

Adobe and Generative AI
Adobe has been adding generative AI features to it's apps for a while now. Some of the AI features require the user to have AI credits. Adobe had this credit system for a few years but didn't always require credits when they said they would. Last winter Adobe started enforcing the credit requirements which caused problems at some colleges since it changed how the apps worked mid quarter/semester.

Adobe claims to have two types of credits standard and premium. Standard credits can be used for image generation and generative fill with Adobe Firefly and in apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. Video, audio or connecting Adobe to third party models require premium credits.

There is a lot of information the their Generative credits faq. Evergreen has just started the third year or a three year contract (as part of the WSBCTC) A lot has changed since out our contract started. For the Named User licenses that we have to assign to staff, faculty and some students our admin consoles lists "All Apps – Pro Edition”. That would be equivalent to the current "Higher Education Creative Cloud Pro for Enterprise” listed in the generative credits faq. This license gives users 1000 standard credits per month. We don't have any products which have premium credits. When contracts come up for renewal Adobe is pushing the Creative Cloud Pro Plus product which includes premium credits.

We also have a product called "Creative Cloud Shared Device Access for Higher Education". This is assigned to everyone with an Evergreen accounts. This allows everyone to sign into the lab Adobe licenses even if they do not have a Named User license assigned to them. This license now has 10 credits per month. The credits seem to work at firefly.adobe.com but do not work for generative options inside the Adobe apps. So they seem to be something different than the standard credits.

With the shared device license that we have for lab computers to use the generative image features in apps like Photoshop or Illustrator users need to have a Named User license assigned to them. If someone who does not have a license tries to use a generative AI feature there is a red warning box that says "To access Firefly-powered features within Adobe apps you must have genuine Adobe apps". The warning is confusing since it doesn't mention the lack of license and is similar to warnings about using unlicensed software. We only have 221 Named User licenses for students so there are features in Photoshop and Illustrator that most students can not use. We also do not have any premium credits so we can not use any of the generative video features in Premiere.

AI in Ableton Live 12
The Ableton Live 12.3 update has added an AI stem separation tool.

"Live Suite now features built-in stem separation that runs locally. Any recorded audio material — such as a song, loop, or sample — can be separated into four stems: Vocals, Drums, Bass, and Others. The Others stem includes all parts of the audio that are not recognized as vocals, drums, or bass."

https://www.ableton.com/en/release-notes/live-12/

https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/23730994755996-Stem-Separation-in-Ableton-Live-FAQ

I think that they are licensing the technology from Music AI https://music.ai

The stem separation tool is running locally and Music AI has this statement.

"An ethical approach defines the foundation of Music AI. From the training of our AI models to the partnerships we foster, we remain steadfast in our responsibility as a trusted partner to the music industry. Music AI is committed to training exclusively on licensed content and collaborating only with third parties that uphold responsible and ethical practices in AI model development."

https://music.ai/about/

Ableton Live also added a Sound Similarity Search feature when Live 12 was release in March 2024. Ableton doesn't explicitly state that this is an AI or machine learning technology. Some people online were complaining about AI being added to Ableton when this feature was added.

"Similarity Search calculates a similarity score between sounds based on spectral and temporal characteristics, timbre, pitch and other attributes. Analysis of audio files takes place in the background when they are imported into a Set, or added to Places or User Library in Live’s Browser."

Adobe AI Model Training and Content Analysis

2026-04-09T16:44:31Z

Krusea:

== Adobe ID's ==
Every Evergreen account has a federated Adobe ID associated with it that uses the Evergreen email address and password to sign in. Users can also create a personal Adobe ID with their Evergreen email address. So one email address can be associated with two separate adobe accounts which can cause confusion. There is now a domain enforcement setting we can turn on to prevent personal Adobe ID from being made with evergreen.edu email addresses.

https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/restricting-domains.html

== Content Analysis ==
https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/machine-learning-faq.html

== Local Content ==
"For clarity, all references to “content” in this FAQ are meant to refer to content processed or stored on our servers not your local device (like a computer, phone or tablet)."

Content Analysis for Product Improvement
With a personal Adobe ID users can go to https://account.adobe.com/privacy and opt out of content analysis.

Federated Evergreen ID's are automatically opted out.

'"You have been automatically opted out from content analysis for product improvement when using Creative Cloud and Document Cloud apps. This setting does not apply when you separately choose to participate in product improvement programs."

If users voluntarily participate in programs like beta releases Adobe Stock etc their data could be used for content analysis.

== Generative AI ==
Adobe states at https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/machine-learning-faq.html "We do not analyze your content to train generative AI models, unless you choose to submit content to the Adobe Stock marketplace.
Our Adobe Firefly generative AI models were trained on licensed content, like Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired."

Also at https://www.adobe.com/ai/overview/firefly/gen-ai-approach.html

"Adobe Firefly models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Adobe Stock content is covered under a separate license agreement, and Adobe compensates contributors for the use of that content.

We do not train and have never trained Adobe Firefly on user content."

There are some issues with training on Adobe Stock content. Users upload and license content to Adobe Stock. They only get paid when customers use the purchase the content via Adobe Stock. Adobe Stock pre-dates the Adobe Firefly model training. Some users uploaded content to Adobe Stock before AI training existed and the Adobe Stock license agreement was later modified. Some users had content on stock images sites that were later bought by Adobe. Wired.com has an article on some of the issues.

Adobe has been making bonus payments to Adobe Stock users for the Firefly AI training.

Adobe is also offering Firefly IP Indemnification in some enterprise contracts. I don't know if the WSBCTC contract that is a part of includes that. Also Adobe now has ways to connect to third party models. If you use a third party model the IP Indemnification does not apply.

Adobe and Generative AI
Adobe has been adding generative AI features to it's apps for a while now. Some of the AI features require the user to have AI credits. Adobe had this credit system for a few years but didn't always require credits when they said they would. Last winter Adobe started enforcing the credit requirements which caused problems at some colleges since it changed how the apps worked mid quarter/semester.

Adobe claims to have two types of credits standard and premium. Standard credits can be used for image generation and generative fill with Adobe Firefly and in apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. Video, audio or connecting Adobe to third party models require premium credits.

There is a lot of information the their Generative credits faq. Evergreen has just started the third year or a three year contract (as part of the WSBCTC) A lot has changed since out our contract started. For the Named User licenses that we have to assign to staff, faculty and some students our admin consoles lists "All Apps – Pro Edition”. That would be equivalent to the current "Higher Education Creative Cloud Pro for Enterprise” listed in the generative credits faq. This license gives users 1000 standard credits per month. We don't have any products which have premium credits. When contracts come up for renewal Adobe is pushing the Creative Cloud Pro Plus product which includes premium credits.

We also have a product called "Creative Cloud Shared Device Access for Higher Education". This is assigned to everyone with an Evergreen accounts. This allows everyone to sign into the lab Adobe licenses even if they do not have a Named User license assigned to them. This license now has 10 credits per month. The credits seem to work at firefly.adobe.com but do not work for generative options inside the Adobe apps. So they seem to be something different than the standard credits.

Tascam Mixcast 4

2026-03-13T22:36:06Z

Krusea:

== Inputs ==

=== DAW Inputs ===
As a USB audio interface, the Mixcast has 14 inputs to the computer. When using the Mixcast to record into a Digital Audio Workstation software such as Ableton Live, Audition, Pro Tools, or REAPER, inputs 1-14 to the computer correspond to the following sources from the Mixcast:
# Mixcast Main Mix Left
# Mixcast Main Mix Right
# Microphone 1
# Microphone 2
# Microphone 3
# Microphone 4
# USB (main output from computer) Left
# USB (main output from computer) Right
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Left
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Right
# Bluetooth in Left
# Bluetooth in Right
# Mixcast Sound Pads Left
# Mixcast Sound Pads Right

=== Mixcast Polywave Inputs ===
When recording directly to an SD card on the Mixcast, all sources are recorded to one Polywav file. The 14 channels appear in a slightly different within the Polywav file compared to when using the Mixcast as a USB audio interface. The 14 layers within the Mixcast are:
# Microphone 1
# Microphone 2
# Microphone 3
# Microphone 4
# USB (main output from computer) Left
# USB (main output from computer) Right
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Left
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Right
# Bluetooth in Left
# Bluetooth in Right
# Mixcast Sound Pads Left
# Mixcast Sound Pads Right
# Mixcast Main Mix Left
# Mixcast Main Mix Right

See [[Exploding a Polywav File in REAPER]] for the steps to extract individual tracks from this Polywav file.

In general, the inputs of the Mixcast appear in the order they appear on the faders, but when used as a USB audio interface the main output will appear on channels 1 and 2, whereas the main mix appears on channels 13 and 14 of a Polywav file that the Mixcast can record independently.

== Outputs ==
As a USB audio interface, the Mixcast can receive 2 outputs from the computer. The main output of the computer, whether that is sound playing out of a web browser, the output of a Zoom call, or the main mix output of a DAW, comes back to the Mixcast on the USB channel (a stereo channel, one fader for both left and right). This output can be listened to on headphones or the speakers at the computer desk.

* Barn Doors

==== Nanlite Tubes ====
* Two sizes of Nanlite Tubes can be found in the Lynda Lab, 2 feet and 4 feet.
* Both sizes operate the exact same way.
* These lights are rechargeable. Make sure to set them up to charge after each use.

==== Nanlite Forza 60C ====
* We have a set of 3 Nanlite Forza 60C lights with some accessories.
* These can be found in the larger black hard case.
* These lights are a bit more directional than the other lights mentioned previously.

==== Nanlite PavoBulb 10C ====
* The Lynda Lab has a set of 4 Nanlite PavoBulbs.
* These lights are quite a lot of fun, but more situational than some of the other lights in this space.

=== Stands ===

==== 9.5’ Impact Black Stand ====
* This is a great one size fits all kind of stand. It extends up to 9.5 feet and can hold up to 22 pounds.
* This stand also has air-cushioning in the telescoping pole, meaning when the locking knobs are loosened, the risers will descend slowly which protects both the gear and the grip!

==== 3’ Impact Black Stand ====
* This stand is a great choice for lighting things closer to the ground or getting rid of shadows.

==== Avenger Roller Column Stand ====
* This stand is a bit heavier duty than the ones listed before.
* It is also on wheels which make it easy to move around set if necessary.

==== Large C-Stand ====
* These stands come with a large gobo arm where lights can be attached.

=== Accessories ===

==== Flags ====
* Flags can be used for controlling the various lighting instruments that we have here in the Lynda Lab.
* Flags can be mounted onto stands and positioned in front of lights for various effects.
* We have multiple different types of flags here in the Lynda Lab.
** Cutter (Black flag): This completely blocks light. Great for intentionally shaping light.
** Silk (Off white flag, yellow trim): Diffuses and reduces the amount of light.
** Double Scrim (Black net, red trim): Reduced amount of light by one stop.
** Wooden Cucoloris (a.k.a. Cookie): Kind of like a stencil for light, it can be used to add shapes in light (e.g. foliage effect)

==== Lanterns and Softboxes ====
* Lanterns and softboxes can be used to shape and diffuse light.
* Most of the lanterns and softboxes that can be found in the Lynda Lab are compatible with the Nanlite Forzas, with only one fitting the Nanlite MixPanel.

==== Paper Rollers ====
* The paper rollers are found hanging from the ceiling near the door to the Lynda Lab.
* They have colored pulleys next to them to roll/unroll them.
* These paper rollers are great for creating solid color backgrounds, perfect for filming interviews.

==== Additional Grip Gear ====
* Apple boxes: These can be used to prop objects up or increase the height of a subject that you are filming/photographing.
* Clamps: Used for various reasons, such as to attach gear to a stand.
* Sandbags: Can be placed on the base of a stand, helping to ensure that it does not tip over.
* Extension cords: Allows you the flexibility to place lights wherever you need in the Lynda Lab.

=== Nanlite MixPanel ===
What’s included in the Nanlite MixPanel bag:
* Nanlite MixPanel 60

* Power cable
* DC15 Adapter
* Barn Doors

==== Set Up ====
For more specific guidance on the different settings, consult the instruction manual found in the Nanlite MixPanel bag.
* The Nanlite MixPanel fits on all the stands found in the Lynda Lab.
* The wheel located on the base of the MixPanel when loosened allows for the base to fit over the stud on each of the stands,
* Tighten said wheel to lock it back in place.
* If using the adapter:
** Plug the power cable into an outlet on the wall, the other end of the cable plugs into the adapter itself.
** This adapter plugs directly into the back of the light, and there is a v-mount on the back of the light above the inputs to attach the adapter to the MixPanel itself.
** This is recommended to allow for the cable from the adapter to not be strained, and to save some space on the floor.
* If using a battery:
** Found on the bench in the back corner, these batteries can simply slide into that v-mount on the back of the MixPanel.
** Make sure to put the batteries back on the charger when you are finished using them.
* A set of barn doors can be found in MixPanel case.
** These clip into the brackets on the edge of the front of the MixPanel. These allow you to change the direction of and shape the light.

==== Back Panel Controls ====
The back of the Nanlite MixPanel has 3 dials and 8 buttons on the back. Here is a quick overview as to what they do:
* '''CCT''': This is your basic white light. Pressing the button allows you to switch between a hard and soft light. The left dial dims and brightens, the middle dial adjusts warmth, the right dial adjusts tint.
* '''HSI:''' This is your color light. The left dial dims and brightens, the middle dial adjusts hue, the right dial adjusts the saturation.
* '''RGB:''' Another color light. This one allows you to adjust the color using RGB values. The right dial allows you to select between red, green, blue, and white percentage. The middle dial allows for you to adjust those values.
* '''Gel''': Another color light. This one is based around gel presets. The left dial dims and brightens, the middle adjusts warmth (3200k or 5600k), the right dial adjusts the color.
* '''Effect''': This setting allows you to switch between different flashing and looping light effects. The left dial dims, the right dial allows you to select which setting you want to change, the center dial adjusts the setting selected by the right dial.
* '''Preset''': This button allows you to save lighting presets. This makes it easier if you need to move the lights around and need to go back to previously used

* '''Menu''': Allows you to adjust the general settings of the light itself. Most of the time this option will not be necessary for Lynda Lab use.

* '''Lock''': Allows for you to lock in whatever light setting you have enabled. Long press the button lock/unlock. This setting ensures that even if a light gets bumped or moved, the setting won’t accidentally change.

=== Nanlite Tubes ===
Two sizes of Nanlite Tubes can be found in the Lynda Lab, 2 feet and 4 feet. Both sizes operate the exact same way.

==== Set Up ====
* These lights are rechargeable, meaning you do not need to worry about placing them near outlets.
* Before leaving the Lynda Lab, please make sure that Nanlite Tubes that have been used get plugged in, so they are ready for the next user.
* One end of the Nanlite tube has the input for the charger. The other side has two knobs, the on/off switch, a screen on the back of the light, and the '''Mode''' and '''Lock''' buttons.

==== Accessories ====
There are a few accessories in the Lynda Lab that are exclusively used with the Nanlite Tubes.
* The smaller 3’ Black Impact Stands are outfitted with clear brackets designed to hold onto one tube.
** The smaller clear brackets have a clip built in them to make that the light is secure
* Found on the rack in the back of the room are larger brackets designed to hold more lights.
** These can be screwed onto any of the stands found in the Lynda Lab.
** The other, larger brackets do not have clips and require a small amount of extra force to be put in and removed from the bracket.

==== Mode and Lock Buttons ====
* Long pressing the '''Lock''' button allows you to lock or unlock the settings you have in place.
** This makes it so the settings won’t get accidentally changed if you need to move the light.
* The '''Mode''' button switches between these 4 modes that the Nanlite tubes offer:
** '''CCT''': This is your basic white light. Offers a range of warm to cool tones of light.
** '''HSI''': A colored light. This light also has adjustable hue and saturation.
** '''Effect''': This mode lets you switch between multiple different looping and flashing effects.
** '''Menu:''' This mode allows you to adjust the general setting of the light itself. You should not need to change these settings for general lab use.

=== Nanlite Forza 60C ===
There is a set of 3 Nanlite Forza 60C lights with some accessories. These can be found in the larger black hard case. These lights are a bit more directional than the other lights mentioned previously. Despite this, they are still highly versatile.

==== Set Up ====
* Each light can be screwed on to any of the stands that are in the Lynda Lab.
* They each have a protective cap on the front of them. This cap also acts as a mild diffuser.
* To remove this cap as well as any other attachments, press the button found directly above where the light comes out of. This is the release, which will allow you to screw out the attachment.
* This cap must be removed to put on other attachments like the softboxes or the projection attachment.
* When putting on attachments, you should hear a click when it is in place.

==== Back Panel Controls ====
The back of the Nanlite Forza 60C has 2 dials and 1 button on the back.
* The Nanlite Forza 60C lights have 4 modes that can be switched between using the '''Mode''' button:
** '''CCT''': This is your basic white light. Offers a range of warm to cool tones of light.
** '''HSI''': A colored light. This light also has adjustable hue and saturation.
** '''Effect''': This mode lets you switch between multiple different looping and flashing effects.
** '''Menu''': This mode allows you to adjust the general setting of the light itself. You should not need to change these settings for general lab use.

To adjust these settings, each of these lights has two dials on the back of them, right below the screen.
* The dial on the left, with the blue accent, is used to adjust whichever setting you have selected.
* The dial on the right changes which setting you have selected.

==== Attachments ====
* If you would like to add more shape or texture to the Forza 60C we have a projection attachment, the PJ-FMM-19.
* This lens screws onto the front of the Forza and allows for the use of 4 different gobos.
* These add different textures to your light like a foliage or blinds effect.
* Each gobo can be slid into the mount, and the mount can slide into the slot just in front of the cutters.
* The gobos are labeled with their effect and can be found in the same bag as the lens.
* This attachment comes with built-in cutters which allow you to shape the light for whatever your shoot needs.
* The black knob towards the front of the attachment allows you to focus and unfocus the light.
* When using this attachment, it is recommended to mount the attachment to the stand rather than the light. This should help with balance, as this attachment will make it front heavy.

=== Nanlite PavoBulb 10C ===
The Lynda Lab has a set of 4 Nanlite PavoBulbs. These lights are quite a lot of fun, but more situational than some of the other lights in this space.

==== Set Up ====
* The easiest way to power these lights in this space is by using their magnetic bases (AS-MBA-E27) and a power cable.
* This way these lights can stick to anything magnetic in the lab, or anything that you potentially bring with you for shooting.
* The lights can also be powered through a USB-C connection. A few USB-C cables are included in the kit.

==== Button Controls ====
* Three buttons can be found on the PavoBulb itself. Dim, Mode, CCT/HUE
* These buttons allow you to change the brightness, and color of the lights.
* If you want a bit more control over the settings and feedback from the light, use one of the controllers found in the kit.
* The controller allows for exact control over the PavoBulb like you would get from any of the other Nanlite options:
** '''CCT''': This is your basic white light. Offers a range of warm to cool tones of light.
** '''HSI''': A colored light. This light also has adjustable hue and saturation.
** '''Effect''': This mode lets you switch between multiple different looping and flashing effects.
** '''Menu''': This mode allows you to adjust the general setting of the light itself. You should not need to change these settings for general lab use.

The PavoBulbs also come with some plastic diffusion disc which has a suction cup that can be applied directly to the bulb. You can spin the topmost disc to adjust the diffusion and tighten the central knob to stop the disc from accidentally moving.

Watch this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Op4mjizkpM tutorial] on the PavoBulb kit works for addtional information.

== Stands ==

=== 9.5’ Impact Black Stand ===
This is a
great one size fits all kind of stand. It extends up to 9.5 feet and can hold
up to 22 pounds. This stand also has air-cushioning in the telescoping pole,
meaning when the locking knobs are loosened, the risers will descend slowly
which protects both the gear and the grip! This stand is
also quite simple to use. There are 5 knobs that can be found on this stand. The
lowest knob on this stand is unnecessary for most Lynda Lab applications. Do
not loosen it (it is labeled with an orange tag). When the second knob from the
bottom is loosened, the legs can be spread out balanced and on the ground.
Tighten the knob when balanced to lock the legs in place. The next two knobs up
the stand allow for you to increase or decrease the height of the stand by
telescoping the pole up or down. Loosen these knobs to increase or decrease the
height of the stand before tightening this knob again locking it in place. The
final and topmost knob allows for the removal of the double-sided stud in the
top of this stud. Between both sides of this stud, this stand should be able to
accommodate most gear.

=== 3’ Impact Black Stand ===
This stand is
a great choice for lighting things closer to the ground or getting rid of
shadows. The legs from this stand operate a bit differently than the other
stands that you will find in the Lynda Lab. Rather than loosening a knob to
make them spread out, you can simply spin each individual leg into a place that
guarantees stability for whatever application that you need. The bottommost
knob on this stand is used to remove the pole from the base. The next knob up
when loosened allows you to telescope this stand up or down. The topmost knob
when loosened allows for the addition or removal of attachments. Most often,
these stands are fitted with clear brackets that are made to hold one of the
Nanlite Tube.

=== Avenger Roller Column Stand ===
This stand is
a bit heavier duty than the ones listed before. It is also on wheels which make
it easy to move around set if necessary. The base and lower column of this
stand are made of steel, and the double risers are made from aluminum. When
loosened, the bottommost knob allows for the legs of this stand to spread. For
maximum stability legs should be spread as far out as they can go, and the
lower central column should go as far down as it can go. Moving up the stand,
the next two knobs control the height of the risers. Unlike the black Impact stand,
this one does not have air cushioning in the risers, meaning you should be
careful when lowering this stand.

=== Large C-Stand ===
These stands come
with a large gobo arm where lights can be attached. This allows for lights to
be positioned directly above subjects, or if you simply want to be able to move
the light and up down throughout your shoot. The bottommost knob on this stand
unlocks the legs, allowing them to spin out 120 degrees. Each will leg has a
divot that it will stick into and then you can tighten the knob, locking the
legs in their place. You should arrange the legs and the arm of the stand so
that the arm is on the same side as the furthest out leg. This results in the
greatest balance when attaching lights to the arm. It is good practice to place
a sandbag on that furthest out leg to help with ensure this stand stays balanced.
It is also recommended to use the smaller orange sandbags on the opposite end
of the gobo arm to avoid it tipping. Like the roller column stand, this stand
does not have air cushioning, be careful when lowering this stand.

== Accessories ==

=== Flags ===
Flags can be
used for controlling the various lighting instruments that we have here in the
Lynda Lab. Flags can be mounted onto stands and positioned in front of lights
for various effects. We have multiple different types of flags here in the
Lynda Lab.
* Cutter (Black flag): This completely blocks light. Great for intentionally shaping light.
* Silk (Off white flag, yellow trim): Diffuses and reduces the amount of light.
* Double Scrim (Black net, red trim): Reduced amount of light by one stop.
* Wooden Cucoloris (a.k.a. Cookie): Kind of like a stencil for light, it can be used to add shapes in light (e.g. foliage effect)

=== Lanterns and Softboxes ===
Lanterns and
softboxes can be used to shape and diffuse light. Most of the lanterns and
softboxes that can be found in the Lynda Lab are compatible with the Nanlite
Forzas, with only one fitting the Nanlite MixPanel. The adapters for the
lanterns should already be attached. This allows them to be simply screwed on
to the Forzas. The softbox for the MixPanel can clip into the same brackets
that the barn doors would use.

=== Paper Rollers ===
The paper rollers are found hanging from the ceiling near the door to the Lynda Lab. They have colored pulleys next to them to roll/unroll them. These paper rollers are great for creating solid color backgrounds, perfect for filming interviews.

=== Additional Grip Gear ===
* Apple boxes: These can be used to prop objects up or increase the height of a subject that you are filming/photographing.
* Clamps: Used for various reasons, such as to attach gear to a stand.
* Sandbags: Can be placed on the base of a stand, helping to ensure that it does not tip over.
* Extension cords: Allows you the flexibility to place lights wherever you need in the Lynda Lab.
* Tape: Useful for taping cords down to avoid tripping.

Audio Monitoring - Mixing Bench

2026-03-12T23:55:30Z

Krusea:

== Palmer Monicon Passive Monitor Controller ==
The Palmer Monicon monitor controller is used to select what audio source to listen to and to adjust the volume.
* The big black knob is used to set the volume
* '''Input Selection''' buttons:
** '''1 (Stereo)''' = Outputs 1 and 2 of the Apollo x8 audio interface
** '''2 (Aux)''' = Currently not used
* '''Mono''': press down to monitor in mono.
* '''Mute''': turns the volume all the way off.
* '''Dim''': pressing the button lowers the volume by 20dB
* '''Output Selection''': Leave set to '''1''', which is connected to the nearfield speakers. Output '''2''' is not connected to anything.

== '''Speaker Levels''' ==
The '''Palmer Monicon''' is used to control the speaker levels
# Start with the output level down
#* The large black knob is turned all the way to the left
# Set the '''Input Selection''' button for '''1 (Stereo)''' to select the '''Apollo 8x output.'''
# Start playing sound in an application.
# Slowly turn the black knob to the right to increase the volume.
# If nothing is coming out of the speakers, double check that '''Output Selection''' is set to '''1,''' and make sure the '''Mute''' button is not pressed.

== '''Headphone Levels''' ==

There are '''''two''''' different ways to listen to headphones in the Mixing Benches: via the headphone amplifier on the '''Palmer Monicon''', or via one of the headphone amplifiers on the front panel of the '''Apollo x8'''. Using the '''Monicon's''' headphone amp simply brings the main output of the computer directly to headphones. On the other hand, the headphone amplifiers on the '''x8''' only output audio as a cue send to the Apollo's "Monitor L/R" output. This can only be done when using a DAW such as Pro Tools or Ableton; ''the computer's main output from, for example, a web browser, will '''not''' come out of these headphone amps.''

When using the '''Palmer Monicon''':
# Turn the black output level knob down on the '''Palmer Monicon''' monitor controller'''.'''
#* The knob is turned all the way to the left (counter-clockwise)
# Turn the headphone volume down
#* Locate the headphone jack on the front of the '''Palmer Monicon.'''
#* There is a dedicated headphone volume control to the right of the larger main volume control.
#* Start with the knob turned all the way to the left (counter-clockwise).
# Connect headphones to the headphone jack on the '''Palmer Monicon'''.
# Slowly turn the headphone volume knob to the right (clockwise) to increase the volume.

When using the '''Apollo x8''':
# Turn the black output level knob down on the '''Palmer Monicon''' monitor controller'''.'''
# Turn the headphone volume all the way down.
#* Locate the headphone jack on the front of the '''Apollo x8.'''
#* There are two headphones jacks labeled '''HP 1''' and '''HP 2'''.
#* Turn the knob to the left (counter-clockwise) in order to bring the headphone volume down all the way.
# Connect headphones to the headphone jack on the '''Apollo x8.'''
# Slowly turn the headphone volume knob to the right (clockwise) to increase the volume.

The exact method of routing audio to the '''Apollo x8'''<nowiki/>'s headphone outputs depends on the recording software being used. For detailed instructions, visit one or more of the links below:
