The only way to resolve the issue is with a game of Camera Top Trumps.
And, yes, this is an actual product.

I read that as watching a dirty story in good 1080p but I agree either way.
 

If you want a much cheaper alternative to the Shure mic pre-amp then have a look at the Behringer UM-2 which will get you what you need for not far off a third of the price.
With regard to fitting out the recording environment, have a look at someone like BoothJunkie on YouTube for some insights into low cost DIY options using quilts etc.
Reflection filters such as this have come down in price quite dramatically in recent years and can help in producing a more controlled sound in less than ideal environments.

They can be had on Amazon for under £40 but their effectiveness does vary so obviously check out reviews on there and on YouTube for specific ones.
One challenge you will face though combining being the performer and the recording engineer is having the computer as your recording device. Having it in the same room will likely throw up issues regarding noise and also the ergonomics of where you are going to place it so that you can operate the mouse/trackpad/keyboard to control the recording software.
The option here if you have an iphone/ipad would be to use something like DuetDisplay so you can operate the computer remotely from in the booth.
Another option would be to control it from in there from a small USB control surface like the Korg NanoKontrol

The advantage for the Korg is that it is far better ergonomically as it is giving you dedicated controls for playback, recording and looping (which will be important when you are getting a section right) as well as control of your recording level and monitoring level for the backing track etc. It will also find utility of course in the same roles when you are doing your final mix and make the whole thing a far more intuitive experience.
Price wise, its about £40 so although its twice the price of the DuetDisplay its still not too bad at all
Now......having said all that...
If it was me, I might actually consider going a different way and getting a more dedicated multitrack music recorder like the Zoom R8

This will give you the whole thing in one package.
It is small enough and quiet enough to be used in the booth with you, has all the dedicated controls you need to combine being the performer and the recording engineer and also has in built effects to get you where you need to get to sonically a bit quicker.
Even if you didn't want to use its internal recording then you can use it as an audio interface to your computer (as per the Shure/Behringer interfaces) and as a control surface for the software (as per the Korg NanoKontrol).
Or any combination of both, so you could create the backing tracks on the computer, transfer to the Zoom to add your vocals, then transfer back to the computer to finish off and use the Zoom as a control surface.
In addition, it also has a drum machine and sampler built in so can actually be used to help create the tracks in the first place.
It is powered by mains or battery so can also be put to work as a field recorder for your films if need be.
They are currently around the £200 mark (though you can always find a lot of used ones cheaper) so its more than the price of just adding an audio interface and controller to your computer but if you can stretch to it then I think you would find it a much better solution for what it is you are trying to do.

The single instant AF (centre screen) is no problem but the positional AF from the camera's own touch screen isn't in the spec for obvious reasons (ie its related to the camera's own screen).
Everything is bi-directional so if you change the aperture or ISO etc on the camera it will be reflected in the app as well and all of the control interfaces can be used simultaneously and remain in sync so you can use the camera controls themselves, the interface on the camera  touch screen, the interface on the Android app and a hardware joystick controller without any switching.

well ill be damned, i had no idea.
@BTM_Pix first i wrote protools, then i was like Whoops! Do I mean Logic? so I changed it ???
thanks, that's an awesome tip~! even i have $5 a month!!

Its unfortunate really as we are likely to need drones even more in a few months to provide compelling aerial views of the enormous traffic jams of lorries trying to get food and medicine in and out of the country at the channel ports.
Its OK though, the government have a fool proof on how to deal with the threat of drones.
 

Bit of an update about new functionality to drive the app from a joystick.
As the joystick is also bluetooth, you can essentially just use the app as a bridge to control the camera from the joystick as well as use it in the way shown here as a single RC style integrated unit.
Other small thumbstick type joysticks will be supported for mounting on a gimbal arm.
 

Well.......
Let me just pass you over to my release date advisor.

I think you're familiar with his work
It will be available mid January now but I'll put some more info up in a few days.

They do a "free" version of ProTools called ProTools First that you can have a play with.
The "free" limitation is the number of sessions you can save but it might be enough to get you going with it.
If you then like it you can upgrade the session space for $5 a month or $50 a year.
The major upside to using ProTools is that it is built for music recording and mixing more so than Audition so you will find a lot more resources online in terms of tutorials to get you up and running.
And of course it offers you an upgrade path into the fully blown ProTools system when you get all rich and famous and forget us all

There is something very definitely odd about it.
To bring it back on topic, its almost as odd as why no one has done a comparison between the Osmo Pocket and the Osmo Plus.

Obvious question... what is it called?  Tried searching “BestAppEver” but it doesn’t show up.
Will it be available on schedule? Previously I joked about calamities and we now know what happened to Jose so...
I’ve charged my Hydrogen so everything is ready to go...
 

Looks like DJI have been testing some new batteries that can apparently keep their drones up in the air for 24 hours and counting.
The new geo-fencing app seems like it could do with some fine tuning though....

Don, you can criticise my life choices, my politics, my taste in music and even my wife but I draw the line about anyone having a go at the Nikon Df

I haven't got one  (and the frequency of these reports and the switch it on/switch it off/send it back response from DJI would give me serious pause) but I suspect some of the Android ones at least might be to do with having location services turned off as its part of the Bluetooth LE discovery and bonding process on Android.
https://forum.dji.com/thread-158542-1-1.html
My guess with the iOS ones would be that if you go into Bluetooth settings in the phone and choose to delete/forget the bonding with the gimbal and re-bond then creating the new association would restore functionality.

Not all plugins are compatible with it so worth checking if your particular one is as Affinity Photo would offer you an option to break from Adobe completely for the price of a few month's subscription.
