00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.480
Now here's something we hope you really
like. You're listening to creating daily.
2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:08.759
Yeah, with the number one live
streaming show that I'm the host of,
3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:17.519
speaks to me. It's like he's
saying what I'm thinking streaming. What is
4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.000
going on, everybody? Welcome to
another episode of creating daily. I'm your
5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.359
host, Billy Thorpe, and man
am I sideways right now. Supposed to
6
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.760
be going live on Amazon in.
Apparently there's some setting missing. I don't
7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.039
know what it is. Whatever I'm
going to I'M gonna mess with it.
8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.119
In the background we're still going to
be talking about what the tech I got
9
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:40.640
my friend James Hicks coming on here
in just a minute. Yeah, so
10
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.359
whatever, it's live streaming, man. This is what happens when you try
11
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.399
to live stream to every platform on
the planet. I'm going to figure this
12
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.119
shit is out. Well, you
better bet your bottom dollar on that.
13
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.960
But Anyway, I hope you guys
are doing great. This is my last
14
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.439
live stream from Puerto Rico, so
I'm really excited about that. It's going
15
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.359
to be a good time. So
right after this live stream I'm going to
16
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.520
read tear down all the stuff is
you can see, I'm using an iphone
17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.200
today and not my camera, which
I wanted to talk about on the Amazon
18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.879
live stream. But Anyway, I'll
still tell you where you can go.
19
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.799
Chris. Chris Stone already in the
chat said the number one show that Billy
20
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.439
Thorpe's the host of. Let's go. James Hicks is speaking. James Sakes,
21
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.879
I'm gonna Gonad and bring him on. No segments today. I want
22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.040
to have fun with James and and
obviously now get all flustered about Amazon live.
23
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.719
What's up, James? I'm going
on, man. What? What's
24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.319
good? Man, listen and I'm
I didn't made it. I'm on creating
25
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.719
daily. Somebody tells, somebody go
here. We got to pay a lot
26
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.599
of money to get this guy on
here. By the way, Wy I
27
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.719
was, you know, been moow
cash APP all that sence. Send it
28
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.319
my way, brothers, and then
it's see you man's good bye the coffee,
29
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.000
all that stuff, all that.
Yeah, I mean it's good,
30
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.840
good to see to James. Our
big plan of doing Amazon live is not
31
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.480
working. Chris greatly can text of
poor man. This is what this one.
32
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.840
You get a build a great community. Because Chris is already in the
33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.200
chat. Make sure you're twenty P
to go live on Amazon. I am
34
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.439
definitely on there. Actually tested this
out last night. It is what it
35
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.599
is. I'm on twenty P.
I got high quality video mode. I've
36
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.039
toggled it on and off. I've
done all the stuff. We'll see what
37
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.120
happened with it. What are you
gonna do again? Man, it's live
38
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.599
stream and sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't. That's why we're in this
39
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.120
business, right just for the things
that happen when we don't expect it right
40
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.400
exactly. But we can still help
people, you know, figure out their
41
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.319
tech problems. If the tack is
what's holding you back, we can still
42
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.240
figure that out and it's so James, I love it that you've joined me.
43
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.199
Man, I appreciate you jumping on. It's a real quick I had
44
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.479
all my notes but I've been scattered
here. So give us a little bit
45
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.840
of give us a little bit of
just, you know, quick background on
46
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.960
you. I hate asking this question, by the way. I'm sorry I
47
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.479
got to ask you to you,
but I'm going to scramble and pick up
48
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.080
my notes here since that, since
I was frazzled. But give me give
49
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.280
a little back story on how you
got to being a create, a content
50
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.800
creator in particular. No worries but
the listen. Before I get going with
51
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.560
that, and again I want to
say thank you for the opportunity to be
52
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.280
on creating daily, being on your
show. I'M A fan. I watched
53
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.240
it almost every day myself. Yeah, I'm James Hicks. I'm a engineering,
54
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.520
engineering, engineering technologist by a trade
and by education. Focus mainly on
55
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.599
the enterprise technology space, but when
it comes to content creation, my role,
56
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.719
my journey, my mission really is
to allow others to tell their stories.
57
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.479
Right, so I press for cord, I turn these lights on and
58
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.319
I let individuals come on and tell
what's most important and relevant to them.
59
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.000
I love doing that. For probably
the last decade I've been doing it primarily
60
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.039
on the text base, on the
on the blog side, right, using
61
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.719
wordpress, and you use lighting that
platform. But the last two years really
62
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.319
been getting deep into the video aspect, getting deep into the audio aspect as
63
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.319
well and allowing folks to again have
a platform to share their stories with the
64
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.400
world, because everyone has something interesting
to say and listen. Let me be
65
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.560
the kind do it to allow you
to share that that message. So that's
66
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.479
me, men and a nutshell,
just just out here any streets causing trouble?
67
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.599
Right? Yeah, man, I
loved well, you know I've been
68
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.520
on your shows on their week or
Sogo, or maybe to us. I'm
69
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.719
losing track of time quickly as as
I'm approaching this move. And Man,
70
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.480
you you have such a clean,
crisp video. Your audio sounds great.
71
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.879
You got the looked at everything's great
lights in the background. I mean,
72
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.600
I love it, and that's why
I was like, Dude, James,
73
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.079
we gotta do we could do a
show where we talked about, you know,
74
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.639
tech, because I know you help
people bull get over this and I
75
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.759
think there's a lot of fear around
technology in and we can go software,
76
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.120
we can go hard, we'd go
anyway we want to, now that we're
77
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.120
not on Amazon live, but that
is a part of like. I feel
78
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.680
like what keeps people back the most
is they have a message, they have
79
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.720
a you know, a mission,
but they're like, oh, yeah,
80
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.959
I just can't, I just can't
fige out the text stuff, and so
81
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.360
I love it that you're on a
mission. They say, Hey, getting
82
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.000
that hartening that complicated? I mean, obviously, look at me, I
83
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.639
do it every day. I crushed
it right and you see, right now
84
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.680
you're rocking with the with a mobile
phone right now, right. So I
85
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.120
mean you're not doing it. You
turn the buttons on and and your live.
86
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.040
And I say a lot of times, folks, get out of your
87
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.160
own way, right because that's a
lot of times that limiting factor, that
88
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.120
limiting the belief that you can't do
it. It it's not as difficult as
89
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:23.639
it was three, four, five, maybe years ago. Right now there
90
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.759
are platforms that make it again,
just really click easy to get online from
91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.040
your mobile device, from a much
more elaborate studio, if you've got that,
92
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.040
multiple cameras, multiple lights, all
of that. Just having that push,
93
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.519
having that conversation with someone who's three
feet down the road further than you,
94
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.639
that can help you to get to
where you need to be. Right
95
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.680
no one's necessarily an expert. We're
all generalists and we all rely on other
96
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.000
folks. I listen Chris Stones or
the world, the billy thorpes or the
97
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.600
world. I'm watching them as well
and making sure that you know I'm leveling
98
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.120
up and doing similar types of at
ativities. But we all learn from each
99
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.319
other. There's there's no eye here. It's all we and you know,
100
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.639
the team aspect kind of make sure
that everyone reaches the finish line. Yeah,
101
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.120
man, a hundred percent agree with
you on that, and I think
102
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.519
that's what I love about, you
know, this live streaming community, you
103
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.240
and Chris and JEM and, you
know, doc and all these all these
104
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.959
guys and gals who are helping each
other. It's really like we're really passionate
105
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.079
about bringing the whole industry up,
not just in there's people in the in
106
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.240
our community in particular, and in
your community, that you probably stand alone
107
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.879
and just dominate and not help anybody
else. But I love it that this
108
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:42.959
live stream community in particular is really
and podcasting as well as really, you
109
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.680
know, elevating elevating each other.
And I've learned a lot, man,
110
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.160
even, you know, even as
low tech as I am today, I'm
111
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.079
still having a great time and having
fun with it, man. So it's
112
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.600
all how's it? How's that?
How's that Wallet Doing, though, right
113
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.000
how? You know, every time
you go with and you listen. So
114
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.879
what? How's that? I can
count ballance doing, man, goodness gracious,
115
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.439
right now. One time, one
time I was on club house and
116
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.279
Tom Buck was on there and I
just got off my because it was like
117
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.759
people are chatting with them asking question. I said, Tom just want to
118
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.079
let you know, man, my
wife will be reaching out to you for
119
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.959
all the stuff I bought from watching
your videos, blaming him for it.
120
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.839
Right, yeah, right. Every
time the Amazon truck shows up is it's
121
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.199
not a good thing. Yeah,
every time that that smiling face shows up,
122
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.160
my wife gives me a frownie face. I'm like, honey, it's
123
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.839
a tax right off, I promise
it's. We're going to be I haven't
124
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.920
tried that one. I'm trying to
still get in the front door of my
125
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.439
house. I'm not going to try
that one. Right. All these people
126
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.360
you got in in the comments.
We got Ireland, we got Pakistan,
127
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.279
we got Ju let's smack down out
doors. Lis Morasque, my goodness,
128
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.319
I have no idea where all these
people getting from. Listen, they came
129
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.959
to see you. I'm just here, you know, to instigate heck of
130
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.920
from the back of the room.
That's my job. As long as I
131
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.720
can do that and my job is
done so. So, man, let's
132
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.600
let's jump into some tech talk here. Man, let's jump in tech.
133
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.360
I think everybody shows name Tech Talkas
what the tech? What the tech us?
134
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.639
The name of the show man.
So when it comes to creating video
135
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.240
and audio lives, will say live
streaming, because that's what we're doing right
136
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.639
now. We'll just kind of keep
it this way. What do you feel
137
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.439
like is the most important thing when
you're when you're bringing together, you're putting
138
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.240
together alive, you know show what
do you feel like this most important?
139
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.879
Like so techno or and thutive?
counterintuitive that, even though we're talking about
140
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.159
tech, it's not the gear,
it's not the technology, it's not the
141
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.120
stuff, it's the message. Right, at the end of the day,
142
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.799
first of all, understanding that it's
not about you either, rights, it's
143
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.039
about the community and it's about the
folks are listing. Is about the folks
144
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.039
that are watching. It's all about
them. Pull yourself out of the driver's
145
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.799
seat and understand it. Whatever you
do, you're doing it for your community.
146
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.559
That's what's most important. What you
got the content piece down, then
147
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.200
obviously sleep. You want to make
sure that, even though we're live streaming
148
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.159
and we're going video videos, cool, but man, if you don't sound
149
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.440
right, I'm a leave right if
your audio is not where it needs to
150
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.600
be, but I can get by
with some with some week video. I
151
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.879
really I can get rid. I
can get bought Amazon. Seven twenty pre
152
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.240
you right, seven hundred and twenty. We we can give buy with that.
153
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.360
But man, if you don't sound
right, if I if you got
154
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.399
Cracklett, and if I hear dogs
barking, I mean all that, just
155
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.960
if it's if it's a low quality
audio piece, that's tough, right.
156
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.200
So that that really needs to be
at the forefront of what you're going to
157
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.200
be providing as a service, after
the content piece. Make sure that you
158
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.000
at least sound right and and then
you can start adding all of the extra
159
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.960
and sillery. Who has a big
word? I've never used that word other
160
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.399
other stuff to your environment with the
tone down. I don't want to bring
161
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.759
up my dictionary to figure out what
the heck. Come on, listen.
162
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.279
You know he's a big worried,
you panic. Did you read the writer?
163
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.600
No, big words, like billy
doesn't know big words. I mean
164
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.519
I can say him, I don't
know how to spell them. So don't
165
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.120
know. They'll ask you this fell
them. Well, dude, and I'll
166
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.559
tell you that. So you know
when you're talking about audio. This kind
167
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.559
of a funny story that happened to
me yesterday. So I got on this
168
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.279
kick where, you know, I
kind of panic. A couple days ago
169
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.279
I'm like, I don't know if
all the stuff can fit my suitcase.
170
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.600
I've added a couple you know,
I added a teleprompter, I've added a
171
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.480
micro boom arm, a bigger boom
arm than what I brought with me,
172
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.759
and I'm like, I don't know
if he can fit my suitcase. So
173
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.519
I kind of have this panic mode. I tear all my gear down,
174
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.200
put it my suitcase to make sure
it's going to work and then I'm like,
175
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.960
okay, cool, this is awesome. It works. I'm going to
176
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.960
go super low key. I'm going
to use my my camera on my my
177
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.320
laptop, I'm going to use my
bluetooth headphones or I'm just going to use
178
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.360
the the mic on my laptop.
And I taught myself into doing this and
179
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.799
I thought, Oh, for James
and I will be a good show.
180
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.639
I'll do my show yesterday like that
and then today I'll do my show like
181
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.159
that so I can grab everything and
show it for Amazon right, right and
182
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.759
man, about twenty five minutes before
the show starts yesterday I start freaking out
183
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.919
because I'm like I test the audio
like to tie her sounds terrible. Like
184
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.440
you, I can't do this,
like the heard the air. Could the
185
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.639
dogs barking down the neighborhood? There's
no, you know, my road caster
186
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.519
has the gate and I'm like,
I'm like, God, I can't do
187
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.360
I'd start freaking like cold sweat and
I'm start ripping stuff out of my suitcase
188
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.159
and you know, and really just
unpacked the audio. That was what I
189
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.519
was really after because even video,
I didn't put my nice camera with the
190
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.679
Nice Lens and all that stuff back
up. Yeah, I literally just put
191
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.919
my my audio up, because I'm
with you, man. If the audio
192
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.240
is bad, that's really the only
thing in content creation that I can find
193
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.759
that can physically hurt somebody, like
if they get their earbuds in in your
194
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.399
audio is junk and squilty and squeaky
and you know whatever it's like. That's
195
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.519
actually really uncomfortable and painful for your
audience. So I love it said that,
196
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.720
man, I love that you also
think about this as well. I
197
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.919
mean right, so when I go
to the gym, I consume Youtube as
198
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.360
it and instead of listening to music, a lot of times I'm consuming youtube
199
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.679
by just listening to it as an
audio podcast, right. So every time
200
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.960
there's something that is going off,
I rarely turn on music. I'll listen
201
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.440
to an audio book or I'll I'll
listen to somebody's youtube stream at again.
202
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240
If I can't hear it, if
it's not compelling, if it's not clear,
203
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.559
unfortunately, I'm going to leave,
and that made cost that creator subscriber.
204
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.440
That may cost me, you know, someone coming back even later on
205
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.519
as well. So it's fundamentals and
these foundational pieces in first worry about the
206
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.919
content piece. Make sure you have
a compelling story, make sure your focus
207
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.039
on the community, then make sure
you sound right, and then after that
208
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.399
again, like I say, start
adding in all the extra bells and whistles,
209
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.279
men, but but worry about the
stuff that matters and resonates with the
210
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.679
messages that you're trying to push out, and then again build off of that
211
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.600
slowly. One try to do it
all the one time, right. Yeah,
212
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.320
don't do it all in one time
like. Well, and that's my
213
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:01.960
point too, man, I got
when I started live streaming into three years
214
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.200
ago. I literally borrowed a camera
from my neighbor, borrow microphone, I
215
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.879
borrowed every I just borrowed it because
I'm like, I don't know, there,
216
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.240
they don't have it, they're just
hanging out, so you know they're
217
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.200
not using it, and maybe I
could use it every Tuesday night. And
218
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.559
so I did that man for like
twenty five live streams in a row every
219
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.399
week. I just borrowed gear.
But men's talking about, you know,
220
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.720
particular product. What do you recommend
if somebody just walked in your world and
221
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.399
said, Hey, hey, James, I need a microphone to I'm going
222
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.759
to use my my Webcam or sometimes
seen a microphone like what? Is there
223
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.480
a particular ones that you recommend?
And listen, I was looking at pardon
224
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.240
me, I was looking at my
arms, at a part of me for
225
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.799
the coffin. Folks. Again,
I'm ninety percent clear of COVID and it's
226
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.240
getting no joke. So make sure
you're taking care of yourself. I recommend
227
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:56.399
the best gear that you can afford. All right, so it's either USB,
228
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.600
okay, if you can only afford
to go with it, but the
229
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.879
USB microphone. Okay, that's fine. There's some fantastic ones out there.
230
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.480
We can talk about name brands if
we want to, but again, there's
231
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.600
some good stuff out there. If
you can afford to step up to where
232
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.200
you have an audio interface and where
you can go xl, are you going
233
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.840
to get a much cleaner sound?
You're going to get much more control over
234
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.879
the audio dynamics as well by being
a control that. So listen. I've
235
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:26.039
gone from everything from the what is
it, the El Gatto inntie one,
236
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.440
into USB. Have Gone from those. I've gone from QC. I'm rocking
237
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.639
the SMSEV B. This is the
Michael Jackson Mike Commoma. I'm using it.
238
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.159
Let's get all the Michael Jackson use
I can't go we can't go wrong
239
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.480
with that. If right, if
you if you weren't coming off Covid I'd
240
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.559
say go ahead and give us a
little bit of thriller right there. But
241
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.840
I don't want to punch on the
spot. I don't want to get you
242
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.679
a copyright restricts it. If I
start singing dully Jean on the on the
243
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.000
scream week, we can't had at. I don't I don't want you to
244
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.519
not deep be monetized. As you
know, this on Youtube. Oh Man,
245
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.399
yeah, man, I love it. I love of that, you
246
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:01.519
know, and that's what I didn't
do either. I got one out and
247
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.039
got I had an interface or whatever, and then I discovered like usb microphones.
248
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.440
So I actually kind of with the
opposite way, like I was.
249
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.840
I had an interface, I had
an x dollar microphone, and then I
250
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.759
got a I get a USB microphone
because I was like Oh, that was
251
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.000
this is pretty dope. So it's
real easy. I can hook it up.
252
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.679
And when I'm buying gear, man, I'm kind of that weird dude
253
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.080
where no one likes me because I'm
always like I want to buy, I'm
254
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.480
cheap, so I like one to
buy one piece of gear that will do
255
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.000
like everything, and it's so you
know, my point in buying it a
256
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.639
or actually asking for Christmas for the
Atr Twenty one hundred, now that I
257
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.320
think they get the antr twenty one
hundred exs mmm, was because I wanted
258
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.919
something mobile to use with my laptop
and then also I could plug it right
259
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.320
into my phone and do and you
know, like ig lives or any of
260
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.519
that kind of stuff as well through
the USB connection. So you know,
261
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.240
when we're thinking about these products,
like think about how you can use it
262
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.000
multiple ways, like I you podcast
with yours, you live, chef with
263
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.519
gears. You know, all kinds
of different ways to utilize these pieces of
264
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.679
gear, for sure. Yeah,
I mean there's a lot of gear that
265
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.799
that's mobile centric. Company called Ik
multimedia makes some some gear that just just
266
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.240
works when you're out there doing mobile
production, mobile content creation, things like
267
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.159
that old school zoom, right,
Zoomi. I always think about being able
268
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.360
to plug in multiple devices and not
zoom the the software. Yeah, eating,
269
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.720
yeah, not them, desume,
the at the hard word and the
270
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.799
auto interface company. They make components
where you can plug in multiple cameras,
271
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.000
xl our cameras, into a device, recorded locally to that device and and
272
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.639
then be able to scream that out
from the SD card. So there's a
273
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:51.240
lot of manufacturers that are making devices
and equipment for again, in Studio,
274
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.679
remote studio, on location and things
of that nature. Yees, I'm some
275
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.320
really good stuff out there. Yeah, man, and I like the speaking
276
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.039
of like inner so, so we
talked about little bit about microphones. So
277
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:06.680
you have a USB microphone and then
we have like Xcel our connection. So
278
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.000
we are both using the SMSEVEN B
which in my mind, this is like
279
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.519
what would you call us a pro
level mic, or would you call it
280
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.720
like midlevel? I mean I know
there's some mics are like okay, but
281
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.599
I don't know. That's yeah,
right, I see that. That's an
282
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.119
instantion question. Right, and again
I always preface when I talk about this.
283
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.960
Mike. I talked about Yes to
Mike that Michael Jackson used. So
284
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.160
from that perspective, guys, professional
microphone, highand great quality, built,
285
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.519
build from the long legacy of the
essence seven family from sure. So this
286
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.400
does it. It's only four hundred
and yeah, what I'm yeah, it's
287
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.880
only four hundred dollars as compared to
like a warm audio or a a newman
288
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.319
noyman. I got to say it
right, that the annoyman microphones, which
289
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.880
are three fourzero dollars. I'm how
do I know that? Because I'm looking
290
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:56.039
at them, but through what are
you? My wife watching this right now
291
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.079
and I'm talking about buying the three
thousand. Not going buy that one baby.
292
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.799
I'm looking at the warm audio,
which is one Thousan five hundred off.
293
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.160
But this is right in between in
terms of price. Floyd, there
294
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.960
are some other phenomenal microphones, condenser
microphones, that dynamic microphones, things of
295
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.559
that nature. This long story,
short and long answer. Short. This
296
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.319
is a professional grade high grade microphone. It's near the higher end of I
297
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.039
think the prosumer Mark Line being four
hundred, because you can get something else
298
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.119
like the lewitt lct for forty pure. That I love as well and I've
299
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.920
got it on my stand back here. That's too. Hundred and forty nine
300
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.680
or something like that. I think
the MVSEEVEN and the Mbseven B from sure
301
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.880
are around the two hundred and fifty
dollar market as well. So I tell
302
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.079
folks about his time as well.
You get what you pay for now,
303
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.680
but it's relative as well. So
hundred dollars to four hundred, you can
304
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.400
be really well taken care of in
the podcasting life, streaming space from an
305
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.119
audio perspective. Yeah, man,
and I think too, when it comes
306
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.519
to microphones, I am always in
the mindset, especially for people who don't
307
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.599
have like the greatest recording space,
because microphone is great, but you also
308
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.240
got to have your space set up
pretty good. I'm always pushing them to
309
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.359
dynamic microphones. That where you're done
as well, or can that. It's
310
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.720
good, exactly that, because many
again you got sirens, you got you
311
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.880
got air condition you got dolls,
got kids. If you got a condenser
312
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.720
microphone is going to pick up all
of that. It is and by default,
313
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.880
and you know that that's what the
microphone is built for. But from
314
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.039
a dynamic microspect active it it's really
toned in, cone and and locked into
315
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.240
what's coming either from the front of
the side, you know, depending on
316
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.400
the on the polar pattern. So
dynamic microphone is just a way to go
317
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.400
to make sure to from my perspective
again, just and my humble opinion,
318
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.240
to make sure you're dialing in that
that sound spectrum on your on your audiating
319
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.279
face. Yeah, man, I
hundred percent agree, and I think I
320
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.680
found that out the hard way was
a couple projects I did early, early
321
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.200
on. There's some really good companies
out there that were a big marketing budgets
322
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:03.880
and it was like, Oh,
this is the podcasts Mike. You know,
323
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.119
everybody right out and bought and I'm
like, Whoa, Whoa, wait
324
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.880
a second, I don't think it's
gonna work out. Chris Stone over here
325
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.720
in the chace is great stuff.
James always patients is key. It's a
326
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.160
long game. What's up, John, how's it going? Man? Good
327
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.599
to see we're supposed to be on
Amazon live, but Mr Bill messed it
328
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.640
up over here. Somehow. I
got to figure that one out, but
329
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.319
anyway it'll be. I will do
it again. James, will do another
330
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.160
one where we co host the Amazon
live showed. I would be fine.
331
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.799
I'm here anytime and you get the
number to the bad phone, call me
332
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.480
any time. But yeah, they
don't hit me with a good time and
333
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.880
I go live very day at two
PM. So I'm like, James,
334
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:44.759
what are you doing? Push the
button. So may we talk a little
335
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.240
bit about microphones? Let's talk about
a little bit about interfaces, because I
336
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.640
think this is, you know,
for people who really want to level up.
337
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.440
Like what are and you kind of
talked about some of those. So
338
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.200
what are some of the you know, the the easier interfaces to use?
339
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.559
I'll say, I know there's a
bunch of me and I get a couple
340
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.119
here I could show. Well,
I got one. I guess probably I'll
341
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.839
get in that. But I wanted
to talk to this comment that came in.
342
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.319
I'm not sure you can sit on
nice eye to from smackdown outdoors.
343
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:17.440
Ducks starts spend more on the sound
treatment, not sound proofing, of your
344
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.440
room, then you do on your
microphone. And that, man, that's
345
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.200
that's critical and that's key right there. Week we can go for for an
346
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.759
hour just talking about that. But
again, take take care of you of
347
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.680
your room, your dynamics. Make
sure you get carpet versus hardwood floors and
348
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.440
all of that, the echoing,
the balancing, make you know, put
349
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.119
some panels, things of that,
and just make sure again that you got
350
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.079
higher highron gear within your studio environment. But yet that's a whole conversation right
351
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.079
there, but I'm glad you brought
that up. Yeah, it once do
352
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.880
that well, man, and I
agree. So I'll jump in real quick
353
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.200
because we can get some tips around
this and a couple things which I had
354
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.920
in my Amazon carosell that no longer
half is is one of those weather weather
355
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:02.079
stripping things for under your door.
You wouldn't believe how much stuff comes in
356
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.319
underneath your door, and so it's
got two big tubes essentially just foam and
357
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:07.960
just basically slide it under there and
it's just, you know, kind of
358
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.599
goes with your door when you open
and close it. I've done that.
359
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.960
I've put the weather stripping around the
door. In those two things, man
360
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.759
crushed out a lot of sound outside
yours coming in. There's and there's all
361
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.119
kinds of stuff, man, like
I got a blanket hanging on the wall.
362
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.160
I got here in Puerto Rico.
It's all concrete and tile, man.
363
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.519
So I took the we got air
being be sound, the Oak Ah
364
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.759
you got, you know, for
the boring sound. You come on rather
365
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.200
so. So I get a couple
mattresses, like twin mattresses. We took
366
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.799
its AIRBNB, so we didn't need
all these beds. So we took them
367
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.079
out, put them in. The
landlords like I'll take him out. I'm
368
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:42.160
like no, no, there's sound
proofing. So I just put them up
369
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:48.119
in the corners. I use whatever
I can. Man It with you and
370
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.240
with what's it? GOIN and listen. Look at stone coming in here with
371
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.000
with some with some knowledge. You're
drop us some gym's. Put that up
372
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.359
there, Gadley, you got some
geniuses on home in the live and in
373
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.000
comment section. Come on, yeah, man, this is good. Yeah,
374
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.759
yeah, all better than a four
hundred microphone. That's good. Yeah,
375
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.720
and you can. You can buy
a hundred dollar mic treat a room
376
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.920
and make it sound good. And
it always cracks me out because I see
377
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.039
people, you know, they're like, I don't want my audio doesn't sound
378
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.480
good. I'm like where you recording? In the kitchen, and the kitchen
379
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.720
in the bathroom, and now that's
not the right place to be. All
380
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.279
the granite. Go in your closet. You know at the best place.
381
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:23.960
Go in your closet and record.
Figure that out. Are you go,
382
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.319
and I mean it is a lot
of folks to record their audio books and
383
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:32.880
do their voiceovers literally in closet.
That's that's that's where to go. See
384
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.319
you get me on and I start
deviating and Squirrel. You told me to
385
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.920
go forward your interface world, not
still. I'm still sound proofing rooms.
386
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.599
Come on, we're sorry, we're
having from then. We're just nerding now
387
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.039
and hopefully people are picking up some
stuff and going, oh, okay,
388
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.319
I can do that, I can, I can do that. So it
389
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:48.839
males, talk about interfaces. What
you got over there? What are you
390
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.599
like? Come on now, you
know you's Rowe's row caster program and listen.
391
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.480
Huh. You get what you get
and and and don't don't throw a
392
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.519
fit. Road caster pro and saw
some leaks coming out. I cannot,
393
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.319
we cannot confirm nor deny. Oh, I can confirm. Maybe there may
394
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.400
be another one coming down the road
of the yet road caster pro pream audio
395
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:17.039
interface. This is this is is
the way to go right, from being
396
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.640
able to and I know you use
it every single day, multi casting,
397
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.519
multi stream into both audio platforms,
in the video platforms, but just being
398
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:29.359
able to plug in your mobile device
and pull an audio from that perspective,
399
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.279
being able to have sound files that
you can play right, all of the
400
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.160
audio inserts and things like that.
Made Configurations Multiple Mics are as you know,
401
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.079
the road caster pro one, I'm
going to call it. You can
402
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.920
have four mark xlr microphones plugged in. You can record directly to an SD
403
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:51.920
card on the interface, which is
incredibly great because you have no issues with
404
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.680
the audio. If the Internet was
to go down right now from California to
405
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.359
Puerto Rico, God forbid. We
don't want that to happen. But again,
406
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.279
I'm recording locally the audio for this
stream, so I've got crystal clear
407
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:08.119
output that that I can pull right
from my SD card. It's just the
408
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.559
way to go right. Again,
you get what you pay for and if
409
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.119
you can, you get get the
best geared it you can you can afford,
410
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.680
and road caster pros is where I'm
at. There's others out there.
411
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.720
Yeah, focus right makes a decent
one as well. That's the only other
412
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.839
one I've used. I used the
focus right too. I too, but
413
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:26.720
road is where I'm at right now. Yeah, yeah, man, I've
414
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.640
used the focus right. I've used
the lot of track late by zoom.
415
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.400
Actually that one was pretty dope because
it was more analog and that's kind of
416
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.000
my style. So yeah, somebody
even posted smack down outdoors live track late,
417
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.160
very similar. So I've done that
one. I get the pod track
418
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:47.160
PFOUR. My cohost uses that.
Things Pretty Dope. For the two hundred
419
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.000
two and twenty Perre's my three year
old. He's got to be a part
420
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.480
of the stream every day him of
dogs. And then also, man,
421
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.920
I picked up because my road caster, speaking of road, had a little
422
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.640
problem with the with the headphone outputs
on the back. So channel to three
423
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.640
and four on the back, the
right or left side, I can't remember,
424
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.079
doesn't work. Okay, and so
I got to send it back and
425
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:11.799
I was going to send it back
from Puerto Rico but it cost too much.
426
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:17.279
But I picked up this little task
can mini studio. Can is dope.
427
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.000
Okay, there you go, ling
do this thing's preamps man for a
428
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.920
hundred and fifty bucks. I think
this thing is pretty dope, man,
429
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.519
like I was pretty impressed. Now
doesn't have all the sound isolation and you
430
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.200
know, like all the gate noise
gating all that kind of stuff, but
431
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.599
but t ask Cam and I think
the mix cast for is a pretty good
432
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.279
device as well. That's coming out. That came as cams been around for
433
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.920
a long look back in the radio
shack days. That's camera is been around
434
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.079
for minute so. So they know
they're doing. I just dated myself right.
435
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.319
I'm radio shack. Yeah, I
work at Radio Shack, man.
436
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.920
I'm okay, I prayer work there
like the last like five years. They
437
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.200
are open somewhere around there. We're
old, we're seasoned. I'm not say
438
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:57.480
old, we're season about that.
Every one talking about the little drawers.
439
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:02.000
Man, I missed those drawers,
those little tools and gidgets and gadgets,
440
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.359
oh my gosh, man, I
got those of my garage rather than listen.
441
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.920
I'm old school. We got,
I guess, of that action going
442
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.960
on here to yet radio shack.
Someone needs to bring them back. Them
443
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.440
and toys are right. Those two
stores need to come back. That's that's
444
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.079
my that's my pledge. Right there. Someone help was out with that in
445
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:19.599
blockbuster, man, I'll put up
put them in the mix, which I
446
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.920
know there's still one left somewhere else, somewhere out west there. So Oh,
447
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.920
he says. Radio Shack is back, by the way, online only.
448
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.279
We need to walk in there and, you know, be able to
449
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.920
pick up radio components and and build
a CB radio and all that stuff.
450
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:38.359
I need to walk in and come
on, that's okay online that. That's
451
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.400
good, though. Toys, our
els is coming back. What were you
452
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.319
getting your new smack down? You
got me all over and up over here.
453
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.359
What's happening? But yeah, me. So, anyway, the road
454
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.279
caster pro to. It was leaked
by a company in New Zealand. I
455
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.319
think they'd like put it on their
their website. So my friend Michael Sterling
456
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.960
at Sterling, I think it's sterling
clear audio or certling clear dot online,
457
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.759
picked up that story, ran with
it on his blog and we were actually
458
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.000
talking about it in a in a
clubhouse room on Tuesday night. There's a
459
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.720
road caster pro room where bunch people
get together have it. We kind of
460
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.880
help each other if we need or
they help other people or whatever, and
461
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.400
it's so anyway, man, we're
talking, we're we're, you know,
462
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.759
doing whatever. This dude jumps on
the stage and was like, yeah,
463
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.519
I worked for road. How did
you guys find out about this? So
464
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.559
and look, unless he was really
convincing liar, it's definitely confirmed and they
465
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.799
should be announcing it in the next
week or so and if so, we'll
466
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.039
see. But you know, I
mean, I know Tom Buck has want
467
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.720
to saw it. I know what
that listen when I when I saw the
468
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.960
story, I said I sent him
a message on facebook and just said it
469
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.640
just sais Sir Right, and that
now is that. He responded back with
470
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:52.799
a little happy face. So yet
he hasn't confirmed or denied. But okay,
471
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:55.400
let me ask you this just let's
talk a little bit about gas.
472
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.160
Let's talk a little bit about gear
acquisitions and and we we both have I've
473
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.279
got the RCP, the number one. You get number two. Do you
474
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.039
need number two? But are you
getting number two? I don't. You
475
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.400
just will be any ass. Can
you got all this other stuff to just
476
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.160
just because it's signing a new you
can't get the new one, you know?
477
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:17.799
Yes, I am. That that's
my I'm gonna I'm gonna sell some
478
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.400
stuff. I'm committed to selling stuff
to buy it, but I'm definitely going
479
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:23.039
to buy me. I mean I
just have to. You know, it's
480
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.720
like I love this one, even
though has a little issues. I want
481
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.920
to get it fixed, maybe even
keep it, maybe even whatever. But
482
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.319
I got a camera you, I
get a couple camera lens. I've used
483
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:33.799
this camera lens three times. I'M
gonna sell it, you know. Yeah,
484
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.400
well, and let me put that
in perspective and I kind of set
485
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.480
you up with that. Be Honest
with you. It's okay for a gas
486
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.000
gear acquisitions him, as we call
it here in these content creation streets.
487
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.720
And again, those of us that
are early adopters, those of us that
488
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:53.039
are coaches, shows of us that
are consultants and help others all along their
489
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:59.079
way of building out their studios and
their environments, we are obligated to know
490
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.400
about this equipment as it comes out, either just from aspects perspective, from
491
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.079
a technology utilization perspective and again,
if we can continue to level up our
492
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.920
gear and our environments as well.
I'm going to bless somebody with this roadcaster
493
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.400
when I get the new one.
But yeah, I'm also going to get
494
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.480
it, but it's almost a it's
our duty right to be aware of what's
495
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.119
going on, know the stories,
know what's coming out, acquire it when
496
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.960
we can and then pass it on
to individuals that we work with. It's
497
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.640
just like all these cameras, right, we got all these lenses, all
498
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.480
these bodies, as Sony comes out
with the next one, the next one,
499
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.359
the next one. We're going to
continue to level up lights, we're
500
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.880
going to continue to level up and
move forward. But again, I I
501
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.359
say it, said it jokingly,
but it again. It's our duty as
502
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:47.240
two consultants, as the coaches,
as the creators, as the ones at
503
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.759
the forefront, three feet ahead of
someone else, to go ahead and get
504
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.200
this gear, learn about this gear
so we can talk about this gear exactly.
505
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.839
So I need everybody watching or listening
to head over to buy me a
506
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.960
Coffeecom Find James and I buy us
both of call. We need lots of
507
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.759
coffee so we can buy this thing
when it comes out so we can be
508
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.160
ready for you or doing this for
your guys thereon over. So yeah,
509
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.200
man, I agree with you,
and that's kind of how I just you
510
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.440
know, I guess, if I
have to justify it like that's how I
511
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.359
would justify. Like, man,
I need to be in the know.
512
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.599
I I'm helping people with this stuff
all, you know, consulting everything.
513
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.319
So and they're going to want to
buy it to you know, people want
514
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.319
to upgrade and and and all kinds
of stuff. But but yeah, man,
515
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.680
from that room, do that we
did the other night. It's going
516
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.839
to I think it's like sixteen times
faster than in the road cast pro.
517
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.960
It's going to have three USBC ports
you can hook up like to compute.
518
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.559
I mean this guy was talking stuff. I'm like what I ever do that,
519
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:40.759
like two computers at a time to
bring in two different sources. I
520
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.240
mean it's going to be it's going
to be fire. It's got enough game
521
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.200
boost on it where you don't have
to have a fedhead or a or a
522
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.559
cloudlift. Really, okay, that
is all that. So I'm loving that
523
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.279
piece. Okay, that not you
can get. You got both eyebrows just
524
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.200
raised up. It's now just when
you said so. So for guys were
525
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.519
like Hey, I want a studio, I want to seven bees, but
526
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:01.920
I don't want to buy four of
them. And for cloud lifters, I
527
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.839
mean you just saved nine hundred dollars. You know, whatever, in cloud.
528
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:09.119
That's okay. So yeah, man, and anyway, man. And
529
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.240
then it's got a little APP and
stuff where you can trigger sound effects from
530
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.119
a distance, you know, from
a you know whatever, if you want
531
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.119
to on your phone. So yeah, it's got it's got some network pored
532
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.920
on there. He didn't say,
he wouldn't say what it was or how
533
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:27.880
you use it, but duel Jacks
for instruments and Xlr. I mean it's
534
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.640
fired. It is. It's pretty
crazy. I can't even. Yeah,
535
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.799
anyway, it got me. We
cannnday morning quarterback. This and pontificate,
536
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.400
another big word. I that one
means. I don't doubt wonder what it's
537
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.720
going to what else is it going
to replace? Right, does this start,
538
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.279
maybe even getting into stream deck world? It's just start getting into a
539
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.759
tim mini world right again, just
by replacing other gear within your studio,
540
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:59.599
by allowing you to have just one
big mixing board that does so much more,
541
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.519
and just in putting output up microphone. So again, I'm just,
542
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.400
yeah, going stuff out there.
I'm gonna do a little more research right
543
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:08.400
now. That's cool. Well,
and I'm going to. I'm gonna,
544
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:12.039
I'm gonna, if I can bring
it up here you know, we had
545
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.920
all this fancy screens set up for
other stuff. I'm going to see if
546
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.000
I can find this most if I
can find it while where I we're chatting.
547
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.799
But Yeah, man, it is, it is. Probably they said
548
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.519
it's going to be this guy,
you know, of course he works there,
549
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:29.279
so it's like whatever, but he's
like there's nothing like it on the
550
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.960
on the in the market. There's
nothing like it. Can even miss thin
551
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.279
going close get into it, you
know. So they're gonna they're gonna knock
552
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.160
it out and I think it's going
to come with a lot of software opportunities
553
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:43.559
as well, which is really interesting. But I think what they did was
554
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.519
they said, hey, we you
know, our first one was kind of
555
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.400
like podcast, podcast, podcasts,
and we realized a lot of streamers,
556
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:52.400
a lot of musicians want to use
it, use our products, and so
557
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:58.359
they kind of listen to all three
of these communities and their list of desires
558
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:02.599
and kind of made a machine for
everyone. So we think about it.
559
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:06.720
So the first one was about seven
hundred bucks right. What how much is
560
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.719
too much or how much is to
where it gets uncomfortable and to where again
561
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.679
you start questioning is this right for
me? Can you'll kind of answer question
562
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.920
of smackdown outdoors. Right, how
much you think just going to come?
563
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.559
I'm nine hundred and ninety five.
It's a weird number, but it's when
564
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.239
you start, when you started getting
over. Yeah, it's we're did it.
565
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.920
So so we asked this question in
this club out for him. I
566
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:36.239
were like so, what's surprised and
he's like you guys are speculating. I
567
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:39.320
mean somebody speculate one fourteen hundred and
he's like it's south of eight hundred.
568
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.119
Like it's under he's like don't.
He's like it's it should be a thousand.
569
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:46.880
For sure, it could be a
thousand, but it's less than what
570
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.719
you guys are saying. So we
so we were like somewhere between eight hundred
571
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.039
and and in one thousandour hundred and
and he wouldn't say the exact price,
572
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:59.199
but he was just like is less. And so anyway, I don't know,
573
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:00.679
man, we'll see. You know, if they kept it at that
574
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.440
five ninety nine price point, I
don't know how they would, but if
575
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.079
they did, oh dude, and
it's kind of man, I can't forgot
576
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.880
some may stuff about this, but
it's got the screen that it doesn't till
577
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:12.920
it's not. It's a lock screen, but it is. It is angled
578
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.039
now so you can actually see it. So yeah, one thing here said
579
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.280
just popped into my head about this
and we would. We've been talking about
580
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.239
Amazon live and this just is hit
my head. Road does not have any
581
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:31.760
official Amazon presence. So you may
see road gear on Amazon, but again,
582
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:38.079
it's not officially license authorized reseller by
your road gear from being H at
583
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:43.639
a Rama Best, by Guitar Center, things of that nature. If you
584
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.239
taking chances, just just won't let
you guys know. Road explicitly lists on
585
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.880
their website as well that they don't
have an authorized location and presence on Amazon.
586
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.760
So I didn't keep that in mind
as well. Folk, that's a
587
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:59.360
good tip, man. That's because
everybody goes to Amazon it but it goes,
588
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:00.840
yeah, right over. But yeah, I did not know that.
589
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.159
That's good, even for Amazon live
cell. You know, Amazon live creators
590
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.840
to like. Don't be promoting on
there because you get your people in a
591
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:13.719
sideways. We'll see. Yes,
Victor says. So how much is too
592
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.920
much? How much will hurt you? I decline to answer that, sir.
593
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.000
I decline to answer that. Watch
Tom box video and then I'll make
594
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.320
a decision. How much you too
much right now, because because he's a
595
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:30.519
gray salesman, right Tom I have
you buying sand from the beach. Boy,
596
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.320
he'll put a com nail on it
and he'll start with the dad jokes.
597
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.599
Next thing you know, you dropping
the credit card down and come on,
598
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.119
man, I got he's dangerous,
Dude, he is that love you,
599
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.119
brother, but he's dangerous. He's
a yeah, yeah, he gets
600
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:45.760
me in trouble. Man. I'm
like, cone, I just watch this
601
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.880
video by Tom and I gotta go
buy this thing. She's like stop watching
602
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:52.719
that dude. Video was this?
WHO's Tom? You know? I know,
603
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:54.320
man, it's so crazy, so
so man. We can't jumped into
604
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:58.559
mics. We kind of jumped to
the interfaces a little bit. Let's stalk
605
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:01.239
about cameras, because you said it's
Sony. I'm a I'm a cannon guy.
606
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.800
I got a reason why I'm a
cannon guy, but I want to
607
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.519
hear more about your Sony set up
because I think the auto focus on those
608
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.239
things. I don't know what you're
using versus everyone else in the Ekam community.
609
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.360
Yeah, but that auto focus is
fast. I mean, is it
610
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.719
again? Fast? They will mold
that motto. Focus is fast. Listen
611
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.039
that, come on now, shocks
out to all y'all out there running,
612
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.840
running, cannon, running Nikon.
You know, I started with pain tax
613
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.199
back in the old and old days
and I was actually take and photos.
614
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:35.599
But listen, if you can't be
making video content out here in East Straits,
615
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.639
Sony done, no, no questions. If and are but unlimited video
616
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:46.119
recording. We're not stuck at that
twenty nine minute mark. That bred.
617
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.719
Yeah, you can't record. I'm
on that. See. So cannon is
618
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.960
fantastic for photos. They they really
are. It's the one of the leading
619
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:59.719
out there, the Nikons, the
pentaxes, the Panasonics, to so all
620
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.599
of them. Cannon's number number two, right. But when he comes to
621
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.480
video, who started everything? Who
is the leader? Who? Who knows
622
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.119
what? Who was the originator of
this? You know, it really was
623
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.039
Sony. And again, unlimited video. When you're out there remotely and you've
624
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.079
got your device, you can record
as long as you got space on your
625
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.719
SD card. You're not stuck at
that twenty nine mind mark on the cannons.
626
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:24.639
You can't look thirty minutes. Yeah, but that sounds like weird,
627
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.880
like taxolf from like the UK from
right. It's like that's why something something
628
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.199
way. I don't know. I'm
not. I'm not in that I'm not
629
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.400
in that situation. I can most
be the category they put it in as
630
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:38.639
a did they put it? Is
it? Is it technically call a DSL
631
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:45.519
RS? It called it Cam quorder, mirror mirrorless. So even the least
632
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.880
some of their new mirrorlesss mirrorlest cameras
allow you to go above that twenty nine
633
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.840
minute mark. But you know,
legacy and up to this point the the
634
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.480
in S, I think the mark, the mark too, and fifty allows
635
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.239
you to go past that fifty thirty
admitted market. But again that that's just
636
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:05.119
something to be cognizant of. That
there are good limitations on some of these
637
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:10.519
dslr slice new mirroralists providers that have
a limit in terms of how much,
638
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.719
how much time you can actually record
video. You don't have that limitation on
639
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.679
some and I'm looking, I see
at the side of my ice commis just
640
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:22.039
coming in. People are probably just
people are hot. Now I don't even
641
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.440
to look at it because I didn't
pull the ballet. All good. They're
642
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:28.880
also good. I don't pull the
band. I'm not even going to look
643
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:36.000
at him. But yeah, I'm
all Sony. I've got to Zvten's running
644
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:40.480
here, so to APSC cameras running
as my alternate views. I've got a
645
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.400
ZV ONE APSC as my top down
shot as well. So I've got three
646
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.679
right there. And my main camera
is the ZV, I'm sorry, the
647
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:54.320
a seven four. So I've got
the full frame a seven four with that
648
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:59.960
yet at that dynamic I speed auto
focus, just taking it right, right
649
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.760
with the twenty millimeter. I shoot
Sony Glass to okay, I switched from
650
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:10.920
Sigma Lenses to Sony Lenses when I
got the a seven for because the a
651
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:17.840
seven four has a compensation for the
breathing focus, breathing right the other cameras,
652
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.400
meaning that it's not moving back and
forth as as I move. It's
653
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:24.079
locked in. It's locked in right
now on this. I do your right
654
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:27.960
now. Yeah, it's still it's
still locked in right, it's right.
655
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.480
It doesn't move. So there's a
up been station for the focus breathing on
656
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:35.840
the a seventy four as opposed to
seven the other cameras out there. Chris
657
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.559
Stone, he's with you, man. He's saying I just need to supply
658
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.519
chain to come back so I can
get another Sony. Well then, and
659
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:44.119
that was you know, I got
the I got the which I have it
660
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.400
here because I'm tearing out my stuff
and packing it up. I got the
661
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:53.119
CANNON USURP IN. This thing actually
has a like a retin of Focus,
662
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:57.400
I guess what they call her or
something like that, but it is nowhere
663
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:59.880
near as fast. Man, I'm
watching all these Sony guys. I'm like
664
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.719
wow, look at it. I
mean I'm over here like look my eyes,
665
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:07.679
man, look my it's so anyway, I'm pretty impressed. But the
666
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:12.920
reason why I went with cannon is
I have a photographer friend who shoots with
667
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.559
cannon and it would came down a
glass. Dude, he had so much
668
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.519
of like everybody's like a dude,
if you buy a cannon body, you
669
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.119
can use my lenses until you build
up your own, you know, and
670
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:25.800
that's like yeah, that's really cool. So that's why I did it.
671
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.559
However, I've been I've been thinking
about a Sony, man, I be
672
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:31.880
I maybe have to talk to some
of you guys and say, Hey,
673
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:36.719
which one do I sell all this
stuff and and get a get it,
674
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.599
because I'll like cannon but doing this, man, I'm literally this is a
675
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:44.519
Webcam. It's like a fancy,
yeah, really expensive, fancy Webcam,
676
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:47.719
and I'm pulling into the wall power. So I'm not really worried about the
677
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:52.000
thirty minute recording. However, maybe
I would go do stuff if I knew
678
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.039
I didn't have a limitation, you
know. So that's thirty minute recording is
679
00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:00.480
not based on if you're just plugged
into AC power, but it's a imitation
680
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:04.960
of the hardware in and of itself. Right, a lot of the DFL
681
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:08.400
are new mirrors cameras only have that
limit of being a record to twenty nine
682
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:13.039
minutes. Oh my whole record all
day, like I'll leave it on Okaday.
683
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.719
So I don't know, I don't
know. I thought I thought it
684
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.880
was only for a memory card,
but I also did not know that Sony
685
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.400
had unlimited recording. So I'm learning
a body manistry. Man, I learned
686
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.719
so much about Sony Trub. I'll
give you the unbiased conversation about it,
687
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:30.480
you know, even though I'll lean
you towards Sony just because because you're a
688
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:35.039
video man as well. But there
are just more prosed than cons of moving
689
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:38.480
over to the Sony Platform. When
you're creating content out there, especially video
690
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:45.480
content, that fast auto focus in
body image stabilization, you can't beat it.
691
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:47.960
It's so lightning fast and has to
dude that. You have to have
692
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.599
that right and you've got to have
you notice I'm using the right kind of
693
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:58.199
lights behind me as well. I'm
using video lights as opposed to regular two
694
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:00.880
ditter lights that did you get from
the dollar store or whatever it's on,
695
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.719
using lightn to build for videos that
you're not seeing the the the shutter and
696
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.519
the flicker from from the video,
from lights as well. All that kind
697
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:13.960
of stuff matters, and Sony just
really accommodates for that beautifully as composed some
698
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.519
the other manufacturers. Other manufacturers are
doing it, doing, doing well,
699
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:20.760
but Sony, in my opinion,
just as a better all right, man,
700
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:22.480
you know, I got a you
know, come on and get it.
701
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.719
Get it, all right, get
it, Gosh, let's lock.
702
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.639
Let's just log on in the Amazon
right now and spend some of that some
703
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.599
of that Fort Mount your do I
need some of ms off. So Chris
704
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:37.719
has a question. He says which
Sony Lens is comparable to sigma? I
705
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.519
want to take Dana glad news advice
and think ahead to get what I can
706
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:50.320
graduate into. I am a I
am a I used to have a lot
707
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.199
of g master lenses, so the
vic the top, top of the leg
708
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.679
on the line in terms of build
quality and glass and things of that nature.
709
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.079
Right now I'm shooting off of the
Sony Twenty millimeter g Lens Right So,
710
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:05.440
so that's what I'm using as my
primary go to. And with again,
711
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:07.760
the Sony Camera System, you can
use what's called clear image zoom,
712
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:14.159
so you can actually allow the camera
to zoom in without losing, without degradating
713
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.639
the image quality. HMM. So
you eat. We typically talk about optical
714
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.960
versus digital type of zoom when we're
using these these cameras, but with clear
715
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:27.119
image zoom it allows you to actually
sense, to crop into the image without
716
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.599
losing image quality. So that's what
I'm using again, the twenty millimeter Sony
717
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:37.039
Lens. Right there on this ZV
ten I've got just two Kit Lens.
718
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:38.840
And what is that? That's just
a sixteen to fifty right there at three
719
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.880
point five to five point six.
So it's I've got it. Why open
720
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.960
at its three point five? I
don't need that to really have the blurry,
721
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:51.800
blurry background yeah, this Lens.
I just got my Sony Lens,
722
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.239
but I'm still using the Sigma Sixteen
on this one in particular. But yeah,
723
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:58.119
I am sw like I said,
I of switching all to all Sony
724
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.880
Glass and this twenty millimeter is the
one to go to in terms of what
725
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:07.320
I see the best, best bet
minute. Thanks for its good it's crispy.
726
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.719
Look it looks good. Look at
all this salt in the Beer Kah.
727
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:13.119
Yeah, I got to do something
about that. I should have came
728
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:15.639
in looking mills and I don't know
how much credit we give to the Lens,
729
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:20.239
or maybe just a good looking dude. I don't know whichever one.
730
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.480
I mean, it's the lends,
it's the limit, brother. So how
731
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.679
far? How close do you have
that twenty meal because you know, I
732
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:29.840
use a thirty five. Thirty five
is not I mean it's a arms reach
733
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.920
away, like I can't like mess
with my camera settings with it when I
734
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:37.280
got it on. But how close
are you there to that thing? To
735
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:39.719
feet two and a half? I
know exactly. Look, I'm like,
736
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.800
I'm like Seawan Boyd Y'all call them
dot. I have a you know,
737
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:50.159
ruler as well. I know exactly
how far everything is all right to the
738
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:54.079
inch. So it's two and a
half feet to that. That lends from
739
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.280
from my to my face. And
is that? Is that full on right
740
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.400
now? Is that like the full
with right now? Are you get that
741
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.320
zoomed in a little bit with Ekam? I've got it zoomed in just for
742
00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:08.960
the honestly, the way that you
have your scene set up. So I'm
743
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:16.559
zoomed in via via e Cam to
ten on the zoom. Okay, Gotcha.
744
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:20.239
So just a little bit there,
all right. Yeah, but I'm
745
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.480
wide open on the camera and in
and of itself, right, because by
746
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.320
my having the camera wide open,
it allows for the eye tracking to work
747
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.639
flawlessly. Right. So instead of
using in the CLU, I don't need
748
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:32.400
to use clear of its zoom in
the studio. So I have the camera
749
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.360
and the Lens all the way open
and then within my software, that's where
750
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.559
I can zoom and and move me
within the frame. So the way that
751
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:44.480
you have this particular web frame,
I've zoomed it into where I just have
752
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.079
a very small lot of head room. Yeah, only one. I don't.
753
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.880
Have you seen all of the garbage
that's in my studio right? Yeah,
754
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:52.880
okay, well, even with his
zoom in, with the digital zoom,
755
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:58.000
which digital zoom typically doesn't look that
great, this lends still looks great,
756
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:00.079
man, looks awesome. I love
it. This is listen, it's
757
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.920
to about to go many. It's
the it's the body, it's two Lens,
758
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:05.960
is the glass? That those kind
of things. You give it to
759
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:07.920
pay for it again. So I'm
going to talk about my thirty five leader,
760
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.679
but out there, forget it.
No, don't throw it. Sell
761
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.920
it right, you don't facebook,
marker place. Cauri will start a idee.
762
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:21.079
How's your engineer skills, James?
We'll goot auction this off. In
763
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.559
the chat, Chris Stone says,
here comes the gas. Yeah, man,
764
00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:29.039
I mean Ye, there it is
right now, tea master. Oh
765
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.920
my gosh, these guys. Man. Yeah, I'm like over here on
766
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:36.079
my great roadcast or prosny. Okay, I got a long honey, please
767
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:37.880
don't come in here. You know, my God, I didn't. Just
768
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:42.159
dropped too grand just messing with man, I can't come on this show you.
769
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.079
I've just spent two thous hanging out
with this guy. Yeah, I
770
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:46.800
know, right, yeah, I
can't hang out with you. All Right,
771
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:50.000
man, I get a couple more
subjects here. We can burn through
772
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.679
the next four five minutes and wrap
this thing up. But let's talk about
773
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:58.159
lights. You touched on a little
bit about video lights. So I think,
774
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.639
I think, in my opinion,
audio and video, or audio and
775
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.920
lighting, is like the most important
things, even over camera like you can
776
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.920
have a mean of a decent camera
and really hone in on your lighting and
777
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:13.159
get some really good video, well, I'll say better video. So what
778
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.440
kind all you get great lighting?
What kind of lights are you using?
779
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:22.960
I have standardized for no real reason, on go docs, go to godocks
780
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:29.199
makes video lighting gear. I've had
knee were I've had that was the only
781
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.679
other one that I really had.
I looked at Nan light and lights as
782
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:37.400
phenomenal as well. APERTURES phenomenal as
well, but I standard I had some
783
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:43.519
El Gaidos as well. I left
the Ol Gattos for I had an issue
784
00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.119
with them because the Ol gotta ring
lights that connect to your Wi fi network,
785
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:50.400
I had some early ones that were
falling off on my network and just
786
00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:54.480
were becoming just unusable. So again, Long Story Short, I've got to
787
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:59.800
go doocs es forty five kind of
the gaming lights as my key lights.
788
00:48:59.960 --> 00:49:02.920
I've got one pointing to my wall
and I get another one pointing actually bouncing
789
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:07.079
off the wall to soften the like
coming off their large panels. So I've
790
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:13.079
gotten them softening the like coming off
and I can adjust the temperature and not
791
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.800
going to adjust how bright at they
are as well, just from this this
792
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.519
remote here. So it comes with
the remote control and it comes within an
793
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:25.840
APP as well, which I love. In the back you see the the
794
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:30.840
lightsabers right, I've so I've actually
I got four the these godocs tl s
795
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.519
spread out across the studio and those
are the ones, again, high quality
796
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:38.440
video lights that I can change.
Are All urge. Those are all ARGB
797
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:43.599
as well, so I can have
those change different color depending on branding,
798
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:46.199
depending on the show, whatever the
case may be. So at for those,
799
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:51.199
those are my main lights. So
just those for tl sixty tubes and
800
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.679
the to es forty five. From
A practicals perspective, I've got, I
801
00:49:55.760 --> 00:50:00.039
still got he lights around right Phillips
he was and and they still do do
802
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.639
a decent job, especially from a
practical lighting perspective. So those are kind
803
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:07.320
of just the ambient lights and those
are what's are providing the the soft white
804
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:12.519
and the white highlights that you're seeing
throughout the throughout the room. All Right,
805
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.559
yeah, I love it. I
love go docks as well. I
806
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:20.280
got one of their big, actually
like big video soft box lights so that
807
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.280
you know, you kind of like, kind of like monty weaver. I
808
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:24.840
don't know if that's the same brand, but that same style, just ginormous
809
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:29.280
soft box. Once again, I
you know, I can salt it with
810
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:34.480
a photographer about getting some really good, goodness good lighting in. Man,
811
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:36.840
that thing. I can't wait to
get back to it because right now,
812
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:39.159
this is funny. I have a
ring and get to use and I love
813
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:44.559
what you said about bouncing light,
because oftentimes you get on these these live
814
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:47.199
streams and you see this snake.
Guys like you can see the ring light
815
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.079
reflection and like man, a person
looks weird. It can't be healthy for
816
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:54.880
you to look into a light like
that with the fuck yes, can't and
817
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:58.760
do it. It can't do it
all day. Right that there's some sets
818
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:01.679
of bounds and off and basting in
you yet causing you to yeah, it's
819
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:04.760
don't do it. Right, not
to do it. And so when I
820
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.599
got here Puerto Rico, man,
I didn't didn't bring that big, big
821
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:08.519
light with me and so I was
like I had to get something. So
822
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:13.039
I went to Walmart. I got
a little cheap ring light. It's too
823
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.440
harsh light, no matter what I
did. This room is really small and
824
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:19.599
it's pretty light painted and it man, I took a pillow case, so
825
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.280
maybe the fire has her. took
a pillowcase white when put it over top
826
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:25.320
of it and just now I bounced
it. Of course. Now I've had
827
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:30.679
to change around for this, for
this iphone I'm using today because I'm packing
828
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.280
up. But yeah, man,
like play around with your light. And
829
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:37.360
one of the tips I heard long
time ago, a friend told me it
830
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:40.719
was like go outside and see where
the light comes from. It comes from
831
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:45.920
top down, it comes from an
angle down. It doesn't never blast into
832
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.840
your face, like the sun isn't
sitting on the horizon all day just smashing
833
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:52.760
your face. And so I think
that's a pretty good tip. Is like
834
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:57.159
and I try to go super high
and as high as the light will go,
835
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.559
or so as I can get it
at like a forty five one where
836
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:04.159
or the other, just to get
that you know, softer dramatic shut and
837
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.559
there's all kinds of lighting techniques out
there. I watched twenty hours of youtube
838
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:13.079
videos and figure out which one I
wanted. Yeah, I mean the most
839
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.280
control, if you could have over
your lighting within your studio, within your
840
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:19.400
environment, the better. Right.
You could do a lot of tricks as
841
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.760
well, like, like you say, we just placement, positioning, bouncing
842
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:28.960
off of the wall. The color
of your walls is hugely important as well,
843
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:34.760
you know, as opposed to a
white room and white walls being eighteen
844
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.559
percent Grad is what we got rocking
right here. So I can make this
845
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:42.519
back wall look any color that I
want to. Another thing is again,
846
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:45.119
think about your camera settings. Think
of the exposure triangle on on your camera,
847
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:51.440
right, the wider you open that
aperture, the frame rate that you're
848
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:54.519
utilizing, all that also not only
just helps the picture and the view quality,
849
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:58.960
but also it controls how much light
is coming into the camera, so
850
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:02.079
that that affects the visuals as well. So all of those things play into
851
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:06.320
into concert terms of how you're going
to set up your environment. So,
852
00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:09.519
yeah, the Laddie and the camera
all work together, and you gotta and
853
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:13.280
an airflow home. My goodness then, hold on before we go. I
854
00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:15.559
know you want to. I know
you you're busy man. But listen,
855
00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:19.960
you got to have some proper air
flowing here, because if you're sitting here
856
00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:22.320
and you're sweat and you don't look
comfortable, all things are bad. So
857
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:25.239
ment, I got my dison running
over here. That's pumping off fresh air.
858
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:30.639
I got I got many fans that
are that are hit in my cameras
859
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:32.719
to make sure that they don't overheat. There's so many cameras so they don't
860
00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:36.719
overheat anyway, but just in case, you know, I got fans running
861
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:38.760
on them keep the keep the room
cools and things of that nature. But
862
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:45.360
there's so many of these these little
intricate pieces of dead folks don't see behind
863
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:50.280
the scenes that really matter to make
sure that one your internet doesn't go down,
864
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:53.199
your stream doesn't go down and that
you're here is properly taken care of.
865
00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:57.519
So that's right, man. It's
one thing to buy it, it's
866
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.760
another thing to take care of it. And so all man, we've talked
867
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.719
about a ton of different things and
I really appreciate you coming on a sorry
868
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.719
Amazon live didn't work out for us, but maybe next time I'll I'll figure
869
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.559
it out. I don't know,
man. I test it yesterday same settings,
870
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:15.119
different day sor right. I give
basils the call. I'll I'll see
