    In case anyone is wondering what our company goals are for 2014:
     
    - daily news show
    - add 1-2 more staff
    - double revenue
    - further increase quality of videos (4K will be standard procedure by the end of next year)
    - Stop letting Tech Quickie be the redheaded step child. Aim for 4-5 videos per week with the Fast As Possible style.

    Arkatek reacted to alpenwasser in Cable Lacing Tutorial (upd. 2013-OCT-05)   
    Hello everyone,
    I've been asked a few times how I did the lacing for my current builds (here and here),
    and I said I'd make a tutorial on that. Well, here it is. Since I'm still a complete
    noob when it comes to video processing I'm open for feedback, especially when it
    comes to sound quality. I'm using headphones and don't have any speakers available
    at the moment, and the sound seems ok, if a bit on the low side. But since audio
    experiences can greatly vary for different people feel free to say so and I can
    try to fiddle around with it or maybe even re-record it and then reprocess that.
    For those who are not familiar with this (such as myself a few months ago): Cable lacing
    was used to arrange cables and wires before the advent of zip ties and velcro ties.
    If you work in the telecom industry you might have learned this on the job. Nowadays
    it's a lot less common due to being quite expensive, although it is still used in
    some applications. One of them is spaceflight. Cables on spacecraft are usually
    tidied up by lacing them.
    The technique I'm using at the moment is not something a professional would
    use (at least I don't think so), but an amalgam of different stuff I've found
    around, looked at and tried out. It gives me the look I want and does its job
    while at the same time not taking up an insane amount of time (unless you do
    it with Nylon cord ;)).
    Anyway:
    Tutorial:

      So I made this before but had some issues.
