1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,280
Hey Chris, how you doing?

2
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,760
Hey John, good, how are you?

3
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,200
I'm doing okay.

4
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,200
Good.

5
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,280
I got a special surprise for us today.

6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,280
Okay.

7
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:48,480
But what are we gonna, before I pull out the beer, what are we gonna talk about?

8
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,480
We are gonna talk about some fun gear tonight from a company called Audio Sigma.

9
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,480
Nice.

10
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,480
Yes.

11
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,920
Did you send this to me originally or did I send it to you?

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Audio Sigma, I'm pretty confident it came from me.

13
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:12,500
Yeah, I was like, I know that like we were all, like this was a discovery for me whenever

14
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:17,960
we were trying to figure out like gear and stuff.

15
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:26,960
Yes, recently you did the setup.exe from, I can't think of the name of the company,

16
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,960
but it helps one person install heavy gear into a network rack.

17
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:31,960
Yes.

18
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:32,960
We actually have one.

19
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:33,960
Do you?

20
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,880
Tried it for the first time two days ago.

21
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Worked quite well.

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Game changer.

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,400
Yes, because I was putting in a nice heavy 1500 VA battery backup in the rack.

24
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,160
The kind of thing you don't want to hold with one hand.

25
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,320
No you don't.

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:47,320
Put it right in.

27
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,320
Beautiful.

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,320
Oh my gosh.

29
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
And then later on did it with a Cisco switch and it worked well.

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,480
I'm so jealous.

31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:02:01,280
Okay, on this, we're recording this on December 19th, 2024.

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,480
On this, the Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, you can count how many Eves that was.

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Yes.

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Congratulations.

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440
I have brought you a Christmas gift.

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Oh wow.

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,440
From the bottom of my heart.

38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,920
I feel horrible because I have nothing to give you.

39
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,680
You shouldn't feel horrible because you gave me this first.

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Jason gave it to us first.

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,800
I've got a four pack of Dragon Milk for you.

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,800
That's just for you.

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Well, thank you very much.

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,400
So you know, if you finish all four of these during the show, you're going to be under

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,400
the table.

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,400
That's not happening.

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,000
That's not happening.

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,600
But you've got your mug to pour it in.

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,600
I do have the mug.

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Thank you, man.

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,600
I appreciate it.

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Absolutely.

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,760
I was like, why do you need two four packs?

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,400
I was like, well, one's for Chris.

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,200
His and his, right?

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Yeah.

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,360
I may have already drank most of mine, but I've got one.

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,760
I've got one left.

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Okay.

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,400
I think I'm going to have to go to my backup opener.

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,400
What happened to our opener?

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Is it not on here anymore?

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Hold on.

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160
There's the one that typically that I bring.

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,320
No, I had one here.

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Oh, I guess I've just always used the one that I brought.

67
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,760
So I, because you kept bringing yours, I brought a red one in here and now I don't see it.

68
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840
So, yeah, it looks like we're going to be using your backup.

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,840
Okay.

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,720
You know what these mugs need is a bottle of frostiness.

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,720
So this is actually, and I think we were using these when you were still at Pikeville.

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Yeah.

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,720
You recognize what that goes to?

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,720
I recognize what that goes to.

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,320
Opens up the black box enclosure.

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200
And is also a bottle opener.

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Well, it's about to be used for one.

78
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Well, that's definitely why they put that lip on it.

79
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,040
I mean, I don't.

80
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,040
Yeah.

81
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,040
It's going to serve double duty.

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,080
I'm pretty sure.

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,080
I also had one attached to this Yeti bag at one point.

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,080
That worked quite well.

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Can I borrow it?

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Yeah.

87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Incoming.

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,080
One, two, three.

89
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Oh, there you go.

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Nailed it.

91
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,120
So bless it.

92
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:21,720
I'm trying to remember if I had this one on the show.

93
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,280
I don't remember.

94
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,280
Time for the poor.

95
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:39,600
I mean, these mugs look a bottle, make a bottle of beer look really, really small.

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,600
I'm just saying.

97
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Like, isn't that a little bit pathetic?

98
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Guys, I wish like I hold on.

99
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,840
We will take a picture real quick so we can put this on the show.

100
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,600
No, I mean, this is 12 ounces.

101
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Yeah, that's not.

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,120
It's not nothing.

103
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Hold on.

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,120
I'm going to get closer to you.

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640
One, two, three.

106
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Yeah, that's happening.

107
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
So it looks like there's so little in here.

108
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,600
I feel like I have to pour in a second.

109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,520
I mean, I mean, I also need to make sure we got a whole hour in front of us.

110
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,000
So wow.

111
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Beautiful darkness.

112
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Think.

113
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Oh my goodness.

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
I love that.

115
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Love a good stout.

116
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,520
I told you about finding their merch after we drank.

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Listen, I would gladly wear something that said Dragon's Milk on it.

118
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,320
But Jason Court definitely approves of this choice.

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,320
The Dragon's Milk.

120
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,800
Oh, I got a second one.

121
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,800
Age stout.

122
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360
I'm going to go for two.

123
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Going for two.

124
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,360
Hold on.

125
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,360
All right.

126
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,360
Where is.

127
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Just so this beer mug doesn't look so empty.

128
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,080
There is the blurb.

129
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,280
Oh, that was terrible.

130
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:00,080
You could play for the Cowboys.

131
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Or I could play quarterback for the Bears.

132
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,600
But you got to be able to run for your life.

133
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Yeah, that's true.

134
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,600
You can't do anything.

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,600
You can't play long for the Bears.

136
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
No, no, no, no.

137
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,400
All right.

138
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,400
Here we go.

139
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Dragon's Milk.

140
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Throughout the ages, Dragon's Milk has been a term used to describe potent ales that were

141
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,560
bestowed in celebration at the end of a journey.

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Hey, that's actually fitting.

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,320
End of a journey.

144
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Show for the year.

145
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,320
There you go.

146
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,600
Way to go 2024.

147
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,040
You sucked something awful.

148
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,040
Yes.

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,040
Just me?

150
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,040
Okay.

151
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,040
Yes.

152
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Our signature stout carries on that tradition today.

153
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,920
Roasted malt delivers notes of coffee and chocolate, married with sweet undertones of

154
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,400
vanilla and oak from a three month stay.

155
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,400
I love that.

156
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,400
A three hour tour.

157
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,400
A three month stay.

158
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,400
A three month stay.

159
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,400
In a bourbon barrel.

160
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:05,720
A three day in a bourbon barrel, to create a truly legendary blend of flavors.

161
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Legend.

162
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760
All the way from Michigan.

163
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Michigan.

164
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,760
To your lips.

165
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,200
I'm just saying, I only know a few good things that have come out of Michigan.

166
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Looking at you, Jason.

167
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Cheers.

168
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,200
Clink.

169
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,200
Yep.

170
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Oh my gosh.

171
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:30,680
That's a good one.

172
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,480
I've talked to you about Old Chubb, right?

173
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,480
You have.

174
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,480
You've had Old Chubb on the show.

175
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,800
I have had Old Chubb on the show.

176
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,800
It's just been a while.

177
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,800
It has.

178
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,800
Early, early on in a can.

179
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,120
I just, I would like to thank Old Chubb for opening me up to the possibility of dark ales.

180
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,780
I mean, you know, the stout wouldn't have, wouldn't have been a thing if it wasn't for

181
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:50,780
Old Chubb.

182
00:07:50,780 --> 00:07:54,160
Thank you, Old Chubb.

183
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
You get a hint of the bourbon, not too strong.

184
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,200
No, it's, it's just like, it's on the side of the tongue type.

185
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Yes.

186
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Um, a little, I can, I can catch a little bit of that vanilla that they're talking about.

187
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Um, I taste a lot of coffee.

188
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Yeah.

189
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Coffee.

190
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,480
I don't get so much of the chocolate.

191
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,360
I mean, like a dark chocolate, that kind of bitter, you know what I'm talking about?

192
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Maybe.

193
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,360
It's not milk chocolate.

194
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,360
I can tell you that right now.

195
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,360
No, no, no, no, no, no.

196
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800
And I'm not a fan of the dark chocolate.

197
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,800
No.

198
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Um, so my, I've got a, one of my sisters like loves dark chocolate, but she'll, she'll do

199
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,960
it with dark chocolate and sea salt.

200
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Oh.

201
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,120
And that's not as bad.

202
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,720
I don't know what it is.

203
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:42,800
I'm not saying anything because I don't know what I'm talking about with it, but she's

204
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,480
a big like dark chocolate and sea salt.

205
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,120
That sounded like you broke it.

206
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120
That was disappointing.

207
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Okay.

208
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840
Well, that was, that was pretty bad.

209
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,840
That was anticlimactic.

210
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Sorry.

211
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,840
Sorry, listeners.

212
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,440
That there was no, um, well that sounds great.

213
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,640
Yes it does.

214
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,080
That on the other hand was very nice.

215
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,640
Is it?

216
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Oh, stop.

217
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,920
Oh, it's going to be great.

218
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,720
But just go over the top, go right on that Dell.

219
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,720
It's fine.

220
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,400
No, it's like I knew what I was doing.

221
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,760
It's like, you knew what you were doing.

222
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,720
Just take a picture of that now.

223
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Yes.

224
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,400
This stuff is awesome.

225
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,800
So I would, I would highly recommend the dragon's milk.

226
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,520
You do need to be careful with it because it is 11% ABV.

227
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,960
High gravity.

228
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,360
So not necessarily.

229
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,560
There's actually a good song called high gravity.

230
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,080
I wish I, maybe I can find a way to work that in cause it is technically value for value

231
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,080
music.

232
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,560
Maybe I can add that to the end of the show.

233
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:58,560
That'd be awesome.

234
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,760
At least in the notes.

235
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,760
Yes.

236
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Always in the notes.

237
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Yes.

238
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,560
Um, okay.

239
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,560
So let's talk about Mike.

240
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:16,320
So first off, I want to start off with a huge thank you to Fernando.

241
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,160
And I know I'm going to butcher this last name.

242
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Pettis P I R E S Fernando is the basically the inventor of this product.

243
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,760
Okay.

244
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960
So why did Fernando call it Mike?

245
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Microphone.

246
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,960
Yeah.

247
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,760
But it's a, it's a pun.

248
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,760
It's a play.

249
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,560
Mike, M I K E microphone, Mike, M I C.

250
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:39,560
I get it.

251
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:44,560
But Fernando is a much better name than Mike.

252
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,360
So sorry, I've got a cousin whose name is Mike.

253
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,360
That was not personal.

254
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,900
And anybody out there named Mike, especially if your name is Mike and you live in Australia

255
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:57,360
and you downloaded us for the first time.

256
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Yes.

257
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Thank you.

258
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Sydney, Australia.

259
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Appreciate you.

260
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Yes.

261
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760
So he is the inventor of the product.

262
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,080
I've not necessarily talked to him over the phone, although he did offer if it needed

263
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,600
to go that far, top notch customer service.

264
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,280
I mean, I can talk to the guy who made it correct.

265
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,360
And his responsiveness to email tech support.

266
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,600
Unbelievable.

267
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,600
That's awesome.

268
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,600
Unbelievable.

269
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,280
When I thought I had a problem, which I didn't, I just didn't properly understand how to use

270
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280
the product.

271
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Okay.

272
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,280
That's, that's big.

273
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,200
He, I said, Oh, hey, I'm going to ship it to you.

274
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880
And he said, yeah, here's my FedEx account number.

275
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,280
I'm like, Oh dude, that's awesome.

276
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Thank you.

277
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,640
I didn't have to pay shipping.

278
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,320
I'm just going to ship it to you the way normal people ship things.

279
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,320
Exactly.

280
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,360
I was prepared to go pay 10, 15 bucks, whatever it was to get it to Oklahoma.

281
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920
And he's in Oklahoma.

282
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,920
He's in Oklahoma.

283
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,920
All right.

284
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,800
One strike.

285
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,840
He works for, of all places, he works for kicker audio.

286
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,840
I didn't know kicker audio was in Oklahoma.

287
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,000
I didn't either.

288
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,040
There's not many things in Oklahoma and they're just mean people.

289
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,040
Lots of tornadoes.

290
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Anyway, so, so this is his product.

291
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:25,640
He's got three different options currently in his, um, his stable, if you will.

292
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,480
We are going to be able to put our hands on two of those tonight.

293
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,420
So, I didn't wait.

294
00:12:32,420 --> 00:12:33,420
Is this the, this is, this is the same?

295
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:34,420
This is the secret.

296
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,640
See now you, you got me.

297
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Yeah.

298
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Yeah.

299
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,640
Yeah.

300
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,080
So Fernando, um, you knew that this show was going to happen.

301
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,160
I will make sure I get you the link to this again.

302
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:52,360
I can't thank you enough for the time and attention that you put into this for me to

303
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:59,240
help me better understand the product because I was just being a bonehead and I'm, I'm pleased

304
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,240
with the product.

305
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Uh, tonight there will be on the beginning end, it might be a little heavy, um, on the

306
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:14,400
near talk, the nerd knob, but then we can quickly get into some actual real tangible

307
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,400
discussion.

308
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,400
No, it's going to be great.

309
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,400
I'm super excited about this.

310
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:25,380
Um, so the, uh, Fernando's company is called audio Sigma, which great name.

311
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:26,680
Good job, Fernando.

312
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:33,280
Um, and he's got three different products who want to talk about here.

313
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:39,840
The first one being Mike hero, which, so that's, that was the, like, this was his original

314
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,840
product.

315
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,320
Originally, this is what it was.

316
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,320
Yes.

317
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,960
Um, so go in the show notes, um, look up this thing.

318
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Um, it is, I like it.

319
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:55,560
I like the, the like, uh, bare bones black, like everything is very like, um, and it's

320
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,000
only $199.

321
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,520
And I will include a picture in the show notes of his business card.

322
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,560
His business card looks like the actual product.

323
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,560
Oh, nice.

324
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:06,560
That's awesome.

325
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,560
Very nice touch.

326
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:08,560
Way to go.

327
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:09,560
So, okay.

328
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:15,520
So Mike hero, Mike hero, $199 trademark.

329
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,200
Don't be trying to correct.

330
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Call something else.

331
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,200
The Mike hero.

332
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Correct.

333
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,520
I know you can't see it, but you, uh, well, if you have a podcasting 2.0 app, see, now

334
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,160
we're just going to assume that everybody has a podcasting 2.0 app because if you're

335
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,440
not using a podcasting 2.0 app, what's wrong with you?

336
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:40,280
Um, so go get a stop, pause, go get a podcasting 2.0 app, look us up and then come back and

337
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:46,000
you can see, um, the Mike hero that we are looking at right now on our screens.

338
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Yes.

339
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,560
So you've got the Mike hero, $199.

340
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:56,520
I can't express enough how portable these things are and in my opinion, affordable.

341
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Oh no, absolutely affordable.

342
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Like the, we're going to talk about like the use case for each of these three products.

343
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:12,760
And we are going to talk about like each one of them being relatively same size.

344
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Um, pretty close.

345
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Pretty close and they, they are, I mean, smaller than cell phones on some, on some, uh, maybe,

346
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,240
maybe thicker because you know, it's got a XLR on this Mike hero.

347
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,240
Yes it does.

348
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,320
Um, that, that, that's going to be thicker, but I don't know.

349
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600
There's some cases out there that I'm going to be like, what is going on?

350
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,840
So this is the mystery.

351
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,200
Oh, that's the, this is the mystery box.

352
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,200
That's a little bitty.

353
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,200
Would you like to see it?

354
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,080
I mean, I feel like we got to get to that last, don't we?

355
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,080
No, no, no, no.

356
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,560
It goes with what we're talking about.

357
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Oh, I'm so excited.

358
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Okay.

359
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Unzip.

360
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Uh, your limiter or what?

361
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,840
Not limiter.

362
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960
Um, your gate did not let a lot of that come through, but let me tell you, it was a very

363
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,080
satisfying zip.

364
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,080
That's a bummer.

365
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Sorry.

366
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,080
I blame the audio engineer.

367
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,560
I do blame the audio engineer.

368
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:13,720
I have to show you the Mike hero.

369
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,400
He sent this to me.

370
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,400
That thing is tiny.

371
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,520
I sent in this one because I thought there was something wrong and then learned that

372
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,760
I was just being a goober.

373
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,280
He sent it back with a Mike hero.

374
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,280
I'm sorry.

375
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,280
A exactly.

376
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,440
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

377
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Fernando is freaking awesome.

378
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Fernando and I, and I totally sent him an email.

379
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120
I'm like, Hey, uh, I appreciate you sent that.

380
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Do you need me to send this back when I'm done?

381
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Right.

382
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,680
No.

383
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Uh, thank you.

384
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,760
Exactly.

385
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Okay.

386
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,440
So Mike hero that it's not much bigger than a credit card.

387
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,440
Correct.

388
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Correct.

389
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Um, it's thick.

390
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,440
It's thick.

391
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Yeah.

392
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Because of the component.

393
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,440
Imagine.

394
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,120
I mean, you need, it's got, it's got a, the, the thickness really, most of it is coming

395
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:12,520
from the XLR and the two, uh, knobs on the top of it, which, but that's, that's the,

396
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,920
those are the controls that you need using this thing.

397
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,400
And so it's got, it's got an XLR input.

398
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,320
It's got headphones out to headphone outs.

399
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Yes.

400
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,120
Two headphones, two headphone outs.

401
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:32,760
It's got a, uh, uh, power.

402
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Power via USB-C USB-C it's got, um, audio coming out of us or going out using USB-C.

403
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:47,440
It's got Mike out, uh, going USB-C and then it's got, um, I guess the USB audio is, um,

404
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,440
bi-directional.

405
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,440
It's got Mike out and then it's got ox in.

406
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,360
So you can actually do an ox in as well.

407
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,040
There are dip switches on the side, uh, for high pass filters one and two or normal, which

408
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,720
I'm guessing is no high pass filter.

409
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:09,800
And then, uh, a pre kind of a pre EQ or like a preset EQ, not a pre EQ, sorry.

410
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,260
Um, so there's normal and then there's EQ one and EQ two.

411
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:17,480
And then you can also choose between a dynamic and a condenser microphone.

412
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Correct.

413
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,240
So this will power a condenser microphone.

414
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,680
It does have phantom power, which is amazing.

415
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:30,280
We're able to going out of that XLR, um, that it's got at the top of it.

416
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,960
Um, I mean, and on that high pass filter, I was able to find this.

417
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,120
That's quite a product at normal for $200.

418
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:39,120
Yeah.

419
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:45,000
At normal it's 32 Hertz high pass filter one is 80 Hertz.

420
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,640
I pass filter two is 120 Hertz.

421
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,640
Okay.

422
00:18:48,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Um, in the space of audio interfaces, there, there are a lot of different, um, there's

423
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,840
a lot of different solutions out there.

424
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:14,520
Um, I, I'm constantly reminded of like, you know, well, if you get this, you're really

425
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,760
like the purpose for buying this audio interface is this and the purpose for buying this audio

426
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,080
interface is this and whatever, like all of these different things.

427
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,360
I'm going to tell you, we're going to get into this here in a second.

428
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:35,560
Um, what he's done at audio Sigma, what Fernando has done at audio Sigma is, is create these,

429
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:44,280
um, they're like, I mean, it's, it's not, it's not fully Swiss army knife, but these,

430
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,780
these different products that we're going to talk about are very much like utility.

431
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:53,520
It's essentially low priced.

432
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,280
It's close to plug and play as you can get.

433
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,640
I mean, you literally set it and you forget it.

434
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,640
Yeah.

435
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,080
Find the sound that you like, use that sound correct.

436
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,000
And you just plug your stuff in and I know y'all at home won't be able to see this.

437
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,480
I won't be able to do it with this particular mic.

438
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,320
Did you just try to plug the mic in directly?

439
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,720
Well, see, that's the thing.

440
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,080
Certain mics actually can plug what will fit.

441
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,760
You could literally plug this like, like a, the one that I think that I've seen people

442
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080
are doing is the shotgun mic.

443
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,080
Yeah.

444
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:30,440
And this is literally sticking right off of the shotgun mic.

445
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,840
This plugs into USB into your computer and you're off to the races.

446
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,000
I think both of our shotgun mics are in the, or all of our shotgun mics are in the other

447
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
room.

448
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:50,040
I used to have one up above this setup that we have here.

449
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,240
I'm not going to go look for that now, but that's pretty awesome.

450
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Yes.

451
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,840
I will find the pictures online.

452
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,840
That's amazing.

453
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,840
And include that so y'all can see.

454
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,680
And just plugged directly in and it's not like, it's not heavy enough.

455
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,480
I'm telling you, this thing is so small.

456
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:07,040
It's not heavy enough to like put a drag on your microphone.

457
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,040
0.24 pounds.

458
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Components.

459
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,040
0.24 pounds.

460
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,040
Yes.

461
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,680
Not, I mean, it is, it's super like the mic here was tiny.

462
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,840
Um, thank you.

463
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,520
I know I get to actually touch it.

464
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Get to touch the merchandise.

465
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,360
I'm just saying that is so cool.

466
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:32,240
So I'm going to go Fernando.

467
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,600
The pre-amp gain is actually pretty good at seven and a half DB.

468
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,400
Yeah, seven and a half DB.

469
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,880
So not, uh, not anything to tune your nose up at.

470
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,880
Yeah.

471
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,280
And these like the switches are, um, the dip switches on the side.

472
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,240
I call them dip switches because they're tiny.

473
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,200
Well, that one is actually a dip switch.

474
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,920
The EQ one is a little bit bigger than a dip switch.

475
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,560
Um, and so it's the high pass, but the dynamic and condenser is just straight up.

476
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,200
Like you should be, you should be doing that with a knife, like in a tiny hole.

477
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Um, but so that they're plastic, but they, they do feel like they feel solid.

478
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:29,480
The whole thing, um, is kind of pulled all together with these, uh, screws, um, at the

479
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,480
four corners.

480
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,920
Um, and it's just like the, the board itself is metal.

481
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:41,880
Um, and then the, or the, not the board, the board, like you can see the circuitry in the

482
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:49,080
middle of it, but then it's got two, uh, metal, uh, plates on either side of it that just

483
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040
make it feel very solid.

484
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:59,200
And because it's so little, I feel like there's just a lot there, um, to feel good about.

485
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,200
Um, so

486
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:07,000
So that particular one is 3.7 inches by 2.75 inches by 1.4 inches.

487
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,000
That's how small.

488
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Yeah.

489
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,200
And I'm a, I mean, you know, like I'm a knob fader, like wonk.

490
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,560
That sounded bad.

491
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Sorry.

492
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Um, but I, I, you know, just the, the, the actual tech, uh, tactile feel of these things,

493
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,400
um, matters to me.

494
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,400
If it feels cheap, then it, it makes me nervous to have it.

495
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,120
Um, and this is not something that I would feel bad about carrying around in a bag, which

496
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:37,600
is, I think like that's the, that's kind of the goal.

497
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,880
It's a, it's a great, like, like we talked about plugging it into the microphone, but

498
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,600
it's a great, it's got the little rubber feet on the bottom of these screws.

499
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Um, it's great for sitting on your, uh, desktop and you know, not scratching the surface or

500
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,560
whatever.

501
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,560
Yep.

502
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,520
And the, the actual like interaction of it, uh, that you're, that you have is this, you

503
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:05,440
know, these switches on the sides, um, the knobs on the top and then a mute button, um,

504
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,960
at the very top of it.

505
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,800
Um, and it's like, it's not, that's great.

506
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Great job.

507
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,280
I like it when people come up with things like this, it's your patent number on the

508
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280
back and everything.

509
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Yeah.

510
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,160
And you scan the QR code on the bottom and it gives you the user's manual.

511
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,160
Nice.

512
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,160
Yes.

513
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Cause who wants to look through paper?

514
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Who wants another thing of, you know, to sit in a drawer for the rest of your life?

515
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Yes.

516
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,040
And based off the purchase of the Pod Mobile, which we'll talk about in a little while,

517
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,240
which came with the case that it's sitting in here.

518
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,240
Yeah.

519
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,240
That was your purchase.

520
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,520
You didn't buy the MyKiro, you bought the Pod Mobile.

521
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,520
Yes.

522
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,760
You bought the Pod Mobile, but is it Pod Mobile or Pod Mobile?

523
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Pod Mobile DSP.

524
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,920
So but that case that that is in, that is the case that comes with the MyKiro.

525
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,840
So when you buy the product, it comes with that case.

526
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:07,840
Well that's fantastic.

527
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,840
Yes.

528
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,400
I thought you just like had this from a no, no, no, no.

529
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,880
So you can have the Pod Mike on the one side, stuff your USB-C cable on the other side,

530
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,520
zip it up and you're on the go.

531
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:26,080
Well I mean, I'd be, I'd be not just doing a USB-C cable.

532
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,800
I'd be getting one of these solid state Samsung T7s or whatever and putting that in there

533
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280
on the side as well.

534
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,280
Sure.

535
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,360
Cause you never know when you just want to.

536
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,880
That's so nice.

537
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,280
It is.

538
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,080
It's very, very well done, very well designed.

539
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Big fan.

540
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Good job.

541
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Okay.

542
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,640
So tell us some specs on this bad boy.

543
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,240
Cause it looks great.

544
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,960
It feels great.

545
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Okay.

546
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,920
You, you talked about 70B.

547
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,920
70, sorry.

548
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:58,920
70.5 dB.

549
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,920
70.5, sorry.

550
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,440
Pre-amp gain.

551
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Signal to noise is minus 115.

552
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,040
Yep.

553
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,040
A weighted.

554
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,040
Yep.

555
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,760
I need to fix a typo.

556
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,760
That says BD.

557
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,680
I don't think, I don't think that's how sound is.

558
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,680
No, it's D, it's DB.

559
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,680
DB.

560
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Signal to noise ratio.

561
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Of a minus 115.

562
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,480
No, minus 115.

563
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,120
Dynamic range.

564
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:28,160
Dynamic range is 98 decibels A weighted.

565
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,160
Okay.

566
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,080
My favorite THD, total harmonic distortion.

567
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Love that.

568
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,080
It just rolls off the tongue.

569
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,480
It does.

570
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:45,840
Less than 0.01% at 25 millivolts RMS.

571
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,120
If you followed that, then congratulations.

572
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:49,120
Yes.

573
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:50,680
So we talked about.

574
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,680
You are our.

575
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,680
Yes.

576
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Your did it.

577
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,680
Target market.

578
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,680
Yes.

579
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,480
So we already talked about the Palosive that is in the high pass filter.

580
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Okay.

581
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,920
We'll go with a few more little geek things.

582
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,720
The XLRN impedance is three kiloohms.

583
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,360
The output impedance is one ohm.

584
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:16,920
Power is 400 milliwatts minimum power draw.

585
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,600
I was really intrigued by this.

586
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:29,920
1.1 watts at 0.22 amps maximum power draw of 2.1 watts at 0.42 amps.

587
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:37,160
And we talked about the size and again, it is less than a quarter of a pound.

588
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,000
It is a really great product.

589
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,360
I have used it.

590
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:45,240
It was again, very easy to set up.

591
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,760
There's there's it's not like you take it out of the box and you have to do a bunch

592
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,720
of software to make it work.

593
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,280
You don't have to be an audio engineer.

594
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,320
You don't have to know how to use a mixer.

595
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,760
You don't have to know how to EQ.

596
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,520
You literally just take it out.

597
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,920
You can make the adjustments one at a time.

598
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,360
Find the sound that you like.

599
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,760
And that's it.

600
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,920
You plug it into USBC.

601
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,960
You're off to the races.

602
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,320
And I mean, I just love that.

603
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,480
Yes.

604
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,680
I'm not going to say the company that it sounds like because I don't like that company.

605
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,680
But it just works.

606
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,240
But he is it's kind of magical.

607
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,680
He is that company.

608
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:32,400
It's it is so spectacular, spectacular and fantastic.

609
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,600
Stupendous, stupendous.

610
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,160
Wonderful.

611
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,080
All you need is a turtleneck and you have to look.

612
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,880
You have to look jeans.

613
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:51,840
So if you are wanting to get into podcasts, but you don't want to spend a lot of money,

614
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,400
this is a great place to start.

615
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,840
The mic hero.

616
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,600
Hundred ninety nine dollars.

617
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,680
Easy.

618
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,800
There are plenty of good mics anywhere from one hundred to two hundred dollars.

619
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Right.

620
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,960
There's a lot of them clustered around ninety nine dollars.

621
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,960
There are now.

622
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,040
Yeah, there there are.

623
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:15,520
So you could get started crazy cheap.

624
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,520
Definitely.

625
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,640
And I mean, have a really quality sound here.

626
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Yes.

627
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,680
And I had no problem getting it to work with Riverside FM.

628
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,840
As you know, we've had some trouble using the road caster.

629
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:35,720
Guys, I feel like we have we have experienced a lot of a lot of failings and different difficulties

630
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,240
in different places with different products that should have been plug and play and just

631
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,760
work and all of that stuff.

632
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,000
And this this one actually did work.

633
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,560
So very impressed with that.

634
00:29:51,560 --> 00:30:01,120
So I think one thing we did skip is it works with essentially all the major operating systems.

635
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Yes.

636
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,840
So you can use it on Mac, Linux, iOS, all of these like it right in your phone.

637
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,840
OK.

638
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,840
iPad OS.

639
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,840
Yeah.

640
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Plug direct in and let me tell you, that is a much bigger deal than it used to be.

641
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:22,800
But like, yes, all three of these are all three of these products are agnostic.

642
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:28,200
You can use them on all these different correct operating systems.

643
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,320
So super well done, Mike.

644
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,680
OK, so we the step up from the Mike Hero, though, if you've got a little bit more money

645
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:45,520
to to to blow here, you've got the Mike Hero DSP still an crazy and affordable two hundred

646
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,800
and eighty nine dollars.

647
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,800
Yes.

648
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,800
Not bad at all.

649
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,360
And I have like your first line here.

650
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,640
I know that came from them.

651
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,640
That's not me.

652
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,640
Oh, is it?

653
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,200
It's directly from Fernando himself.

654
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,200
I am.

655
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,320
I'm very impressed, Fernando.

656
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Well done.

657
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Yes.

658
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,960
We put a rocket on a bicycle.

659
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:11,000
So secret special for the Mike Hero DSP.

660
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
OK.

661
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,840
If you go to and I guess this is a free plug for them.

662
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,560
B.S.W. USA.

663
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,560
OK.

664
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,200
B.S.W. USA is something you should go check out anyway.

665
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,200
Correct.

666
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,400
They're that's where I got my Pod Mobile from.

667
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,080
I've got my my e.v. microphones from there as well.

668
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,480
Every now and then they still have the listing, but they just don't have any available at

669
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,480
the moment.

670
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,480
Uh huh.

671
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,200
But on the Mike Hero DSP, they have what they call B stock.

672
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Nice.

673
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,640
Which means it may have a slight blemish or it's something that somebody purchased and

674
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,640
returned.

675
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Yeah.

676
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,280
You can get this specific one for two hundred and twenty nine dollars.

677
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Wow.

678
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Yes.

679
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,000
You can get a rocket on a bicycle.

680
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Yes, you can.

681
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,240
For two hundred twenty dollars.

682
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:04,120
And let me tell you what, that is that marketing is speaking my language because there was

683
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,640
nothing more that I wanted as a kid than to put a rocket on a rocket on a bicycle.

684
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Absolutely.

685
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,400
I was the kid who was trying to figure out how to strap bottle rockets to my bicycle

686
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,800
in order to shoot at kids that I didn't like.

687
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,280
That was me.

688
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:30,320
I just put firecrackers in between the arms and legs of the GI Joes.

689
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,680
I'm just saying when the when when PlayStation finally came out and I got to play Twisted

690
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,800
Metal, I was like a pig in mud.

691
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,800
It was amazing.

692
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Pig in slime.

693
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,800
So Mike Hero DSP.

694
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,800
What's the difference here?

695
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,800
What are we talking about?

696
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Why?

697
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Why does it have this DSP moniker?

698
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,680
DSP is where the magic happens.

699
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,440
Oh my gosh.

700
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,440
It was so.

701
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,440
Yes, it is.

702
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,760
So even whisper.

703
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,440
Now I did add this this one.

704
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,240
So I will say again, very portable, very affordable.

705
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,520
And then I add the little thing that says like having a studio in your go back.

706
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,560
I mean, who doesn't want a studio in their go back?

707
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,560
Exactly.

708
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,520
And again, it's going to come with the zipper enclosure, works with all those same OS.

709
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:26,240
Again, it's going to work with condenser, dynamic shotgun, you name it.

710
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,640
But DSP is where the fun stuff happens.

711
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,760
DSP introduces D noise to remove background noise.

712
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Obviously, you've got the limiter because nobody wants to clip.

713
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560
No, you don't want to lose part of your recording.

714
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,440
No, you've got the D pop to help reduce.

715
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Hello, sis EQ settings for crisp audio.

716
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,800
This gets interesting.

717
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400
It introduces loop back.

718
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,360
So you could bring in your podcast intro, background music, or if you want to do commentaries

719
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,160
over video.

720
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,800
Yep, that's pretty awesome.

721
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,760
And this one, this one, I actually really like the idea of it.

722
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:17,600
It has a monitor channel for playback recording without getting feedback.

723
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,520
That's what DSP brings to the table.

724
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:26,440
Yeah, the ability to analyze the signal as it's coming in and either augmented or to

725
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:33,040
yeah, I mean, argument is really the word that I'm looking for there.

726
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:39,160
But yeah, the ability to do that as it's coming in and not have to do that in post or not

727
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:45,920
have to do that by some physical means.

728
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:46,920
Yes.

729
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,560
And for those that are wondering, the equalizer is parametric.

730
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,560
Yes.

731
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Okay.

732
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,720
So this is also he introduced a cool portion.

733
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:06,800
So the physical, you know, manipulation of the mic hero are those two knobs on the top,

734
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,200
the switches on the sides, and then the mute button on the top.

735
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Now on the DSP, if you flip it over, you actually have like these capacitive touch buttons to

736
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,400
turn these to adjust the various levels.

737
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,680
They typically, if I remember correctly, they have three levels and plus I guess off with

738
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,120
nothing turned on.

739
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,520
But that first level is going to be green.

740
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,920
That next level up is going to be yellow.

741
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,760
Highest level is going to be red.

742
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,700
So again, it's one of those that depending on your environment, you just kind of go through

743
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:43,560
one at a time.

744
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,520
Get that sound that you're looking for.

745
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,360
And if you think in this thing, like those buttons are on the bottom of this thing.

746
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,680
If I, you know, set it down or whatever on a surface, it's not ever you can lock the

747
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,680
touch.

748
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,240
There is a slider on the side so that lock so that if anything did hit those capacitive

749
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:03,880
buttons, it's not nothing's going to change in the middle of your recording.

750
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,880
Love it.

751
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,880
Way to think through it.

752
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,840
Oh my gosh, that's the there's the there's the microphone of it with the mic hero DSP

753
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,120
attached to a shotgun shotgun mic.

754
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,120
Yes.

755
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,240
And then plugged in to the computer.

756
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:23,440
So if you are a voiceover guy and you're looking for something simple to move around with,

757
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,920
that would take care of business.

758
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:25,920
I don't.

759
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:26,920
Yeah.

760
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,840
And all you're doing is if you're in a hotel, you're grabbing pillows and cushions and you're

761
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,720
creating some makeshift booth and you're going to get in there.

762
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,280
You're going to have your computer outside of that.

763
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,160
You're going to start recording and it's going to be amazing.

764
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,160
Well done.

765
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:49,320
And I'm going to get a borrow from Mike DelGaudio, go record something amazing.

766
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Starts at two eighty nine.

767
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,160
You can also get it if you like you.

768
00:36:53,160 --> 00:37:03,760
Like Chris was saying, be stock, be stock, be as B.S.W. B.S. B.S.W. USA B.S.W. USA.com

769
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,720
and go look for that.

770
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:07,720
OK, third product here.

771
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:09,020
This one's actually my favorite.

772
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:12,040
We are not sponsored by B.S.W. all the way.

773
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,040
No.

774
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,040
The guys are listening.

775
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,080
They're saying we love you.

776
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,000
OK, so.

777
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,920
So those those are are really cool products and like great job, Fernando.

778
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:33,520
I mean, the the appetizer, the amuse bouche, very, very tantalizing, super grateful for

779
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,520
it.

780
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:42,960
And then then you went ahead and the piece de resistance gave us the, you know, rib eye

781
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,720
medium rare.

782
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:47,880
So rare.

783
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,120
This is this is the one that got my attention.

784
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,120
Probably rare.

785
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Thank you, Adam Curry.

786
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,120
Oh, did he?

787
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,400
That's who I got it from.

788
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,800
OK, so there you go.

789
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,800
So this.

790
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:04,880
I mean, had had I known about this before the road caster just wouldn't have bought the

791
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,880
roadcast.

792
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,880
I probably wouldn't have bought the roadcast.

793
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,880
No reason to buy it.

794
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:08,880
The road casters amazing.

795
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,880
Don't get me wrong.

796
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,880
It's great.

797
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,880
Don't it's whatever.

798
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,120
Like, are you kidding me?

799
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,720
This is amazing.

800
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,680
So again, now this is a little bit bigger, not huge.

801
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,680
Oh, gosh, no.

802
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,560
Compared to the others, but it is a little bit bigger.

803
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,080
No, it's so it is three points.

804
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,080
Well, no, it's not.

805
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,080
No, it's not.

806
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,080
That's wrong.

807
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,080
That's wrong.

808
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,080
That's a lie.

809
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,080
You put that wrong on there.

810
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,080
That's a lie.

811
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Why would you lie to the people?

812
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,080
Don't lie.

813
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,880
Four point seven by four point one point eight inches.

814
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,880
Yeah.

815
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,880
So again, small.

816
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:47,000
Yeah, not a whole lot bigger than, you know, your phone.

817
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,840
To be honest, you know who you are.

818
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,840
It still fits.

819
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,160
You people with your crazy in the palm of your hand phones.

820
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,960
It's smaller than a tablet.

821
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,720
Absolutely.

822
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:58,080
Way smaller than a tablet.

823
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,600
You know what that reminds me of?

824
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:06,760
All you Southern Baptists out there.

825
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,520
It's like the size of a Gideon Bible.

826
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,800
Yeah, I would agree with that.

827
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,360
I'd absolutely agree.

828
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:20,200
So and what do you get with this amazing piece of gear?

829
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,740
You get an extra XLR.

830
00:39:21,740 --> 00:39:23,640
You do to XLR in here.

831
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:30,200
I'm telling you to XLR the two separate headphones out obviously because you've got two mics,

832
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,200
right?

833
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,120
You have the equalizer.

834
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,600
You've got the D noise.

835
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,440
And that's for both that separate for each channel.

836
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,160
You have so have loop back.

837
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,440
You've got monitor.

838
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,680
And then this is actually I think I understand what it means, but we'll see what you have

839
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,000
to say.

840
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,680
It has the recording mode where you can actually set an audible stage.

841
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,680
Yeah.

842
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,360
Would you like to explain that to the people?

843
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:11,720
So stage recording for two or more people at an audible stage to your visual stage.

844
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:19,000
So what I think and Fernando, please tell me if I'm wrong here that you're doing it

845
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,040
because this is just based on description.

846
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,380
I actually haven't talked to you about this.

847
00:40:24,380 --> 00:40:27,140
So please forgive me.

848
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:38,300
So your ears are in case you don't know this are incredible, incredibly designed pieces

849
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:41,880
of gear attached to your head.

850
00:40:41,880 --> 00:41:03,200
So because you have two ears, you can tell not only like the you can tell where the sound

851
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:10,280
is coming from and you can tell roughly how far away it is from you.

852
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:16,560
There's a bunch of things that your ears are doing that you don't even really realize because

853
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,120
we don't like we don't do this math in our head.

854
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,460
It's not technically math.

855
00:41:21,460 --> 00:41:27,680
I guess at that point we have to do math to understand it like a lot of really complicated

856
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,280
math.

857
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,380
But you sound is not just pressure.

858
00:41:34,380 --> 00:41:36,960
It's not just waves of pressure coming through the air.

859
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:43,140
There's actually molecules hitting each other and a whole lot involved with it.

860
00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:47,480
So like we're not we're not going to get into velocity and all that stuff.

861
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:54,600
But the way that you perceive sound as a human being is pressure being put on your eardrum.

862
00:41:54,600 --> 00:42:01,280
And because you have two ears, you not only hear the pressure difference on the two ears,

863
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:08,400
but you hear the like delay difference between the two ears and that gives you an idea of

864
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,620
the direction that things are coming from.

865
00:42:11,620 --> 00:42:16,280
And it's like it is truly impressive the way that your ears work.

866
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:24,520
So a lot of sound recordings when you're you're not listening to something live, they can

867
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,720
sound really flat.

868
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:27,480
They can sound really one dimensional.

869
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,480
They can sound really.

870
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,880
I can tell that that's not like that.

871
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,760
It doesn't sound like that's in a room.

872
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:42,120
So what I think that he's introducing here in stage recording, I don't think that it's

873
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,100
just reverb or anything like that.

874
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:55,200
But I think that he is giving there's there's probably you know, that DSP involved to to

875
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:02,020
make sure that the you can tell whenever you're listening to the whatever is being recorded

876
00:43:02,020 --> 00:43:08,520
off of this with the two mics that these these are not these are not the same source and

877
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,800
they are in open space.

878
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,040
So part of what's frustrating me right now about what we're recording or like the way

879
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:24,440
that this is being recorded are recording that's happening right now is that this gate

880
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,480
is like cutting me off.

881
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,480
And when that happens, it's great because you can't like you have a gate in order to

882
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:38,200
take off the little sounds that are happening in the room, the things that aren't they're

883
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,400
not the source of what we're trying to record.

884
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:49,440
But you also miss some of the feeling of being in a room.

885
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,440
Correct.

886
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:56,160
So I believe that that's what he's saying that you can do with this stage recording

887
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,880
is not only that it would I don't know if it shifts it.

888
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:06,200
It says normal like the options here on record mode are normal, which would be nothing and

889
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:11,880
then stage, which I'm guessing would make it feel like there's not just ambience but

890
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:18,760
also the separation of the two.

891
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:23,800
You know, one may be panned a little bit more than the other or not paying more but paying

892
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,400
one direction and the other one a little bit more.

893
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,560
I don't know how he's doing that.

894
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,640
I would love to know.

895
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,720
But I'm not asking for anything proprietary here.

896
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,560
Fernando, sorry.

897
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:42,080
But then he's also got split, which would make me think that stage may be like a little

898
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:49,720
bit left and right or a little bit like, you know, but split may be like you're sitting

899
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,520
right in between these people and one is hard panned to the left and one is hard panned

900
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,120
to the right.

901
00:44:55,120 --> 00:45:00,960
Now the other reason that you might want to do that on a recording mode is if you pan

902
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:06,880
something hard left and pan another thing hard right, then when you go into manipulating

903
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:14,920
them, you can split them apart and basically you're getting the right and left as like

904
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:21,880
signal one and two and then you can manipulate one source differently than the other.

905
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,680
I don't know if that's what's happening, but that's what I would assume.

906
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:32,400
And then, but I would love Fernando, if you listen to this, if you could just tell me

907
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:42,480
how I'm wrong or, I mean, what a dream it would be just to, you know, have him call

908
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,720
in or something, right?

909
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:48,400
Are we, are we, are we, are we stretching too far here?

910
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,720
Are we bigger than our britches?

911
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:54,640
Probably anyway.

912
00:45:54,640 --> 00:46:04,080
Great opportunity there with the record modes to be able to give, again, that like studio

913
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:09,620
in a box feel with this tiny box that you're purchasing for way less than you should be

914
00:46:09,620 --> 00:46:11,000
able to purchase this for.

915
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,760
I'm not asking Fernando to increase the price.

916
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:20,260
Please don't increase the price, but like, I think he could get away with selling this

917
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:21,440
for more.

918
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,840
He's got a cool, you should probably put this picture on them.

919
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Show notes of these six mics.

920
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:37,480
Cause he's got three of these mobiles daisy chain to each other.

921
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,480
Yes.

922
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,560
That actually, to me, that is an intriguing feature of this because it looks like an ethernet

923
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:42,720
port.

924
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:46,000
It does look like an ethernet port and you can run the splitters and you can, I believe

925
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,800
you can run as many as four of these together.

926
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,800
Yeah.

927
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,720
So you're running an ethernet like a RJ.

928
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:54,440
You shouldn't call it ethernet at that point.

929
00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:03,720
Just RJ 45, RJ 45, RJ 45 connection that he's got, got it labeled as an expansion port expansion

930
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:04,720
port.

931
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:05,960
That's correct.

932
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:12,720
And so you can grow your rig as it says, yes, to up to 10 participants.

933
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:16,560
So that would be five, five of them.

934
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,400
Thank you for doing the math there for me.

935
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,680
Nice.

936
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,800
Just get some, you know, get some buddies, everybody bring your own.

937
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,800
Yeah.

938
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
Like a LAN party.

939
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:28,800
It would be interesting.

940
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,720
Fernando, again, I feel like I'm, I'm just throwing stuff out there.

941
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:42,080
Like it would, it would be nice if maybe that expansion port was on maybe the, it's too

942
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,660
much to ask for the Mike hero, but the Mike hero DSP.

943
00:47:44,660 --> 00:47:52,360
So if like Chris had one and I had one and I just plugged mine and his together and then

944
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:58,640
he recorded on his computer, then maybe I could, but that's why we have the pod mobile.

945
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,840
Yeah, no, absolutely.

946
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,040
Don't listen to me.

947
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,040
We have the pod mobile.

948
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,040
It's fine.

949
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,040
We do.

950
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,040
Um, you do coming back real quick to denoise and EQ.

951
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,520
There are four levels of denoise, four levels of denoise.

952
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:14,520
Yes.

953
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:20,560
And then it's really important to you that it, it can really behave almost like a noise

954
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,560
gate.

955
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,120
Well, I mean it is in some way.

956
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,120
Yeah.

957
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:30,320
So, but if you really start hitting that, those upper two, you can really tell that

958
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,800
you have got to get on the mic and you've got to get louder or you're not going to get

959
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,320
anything recorded.

960
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,200
And then you've got three levels of VQ.

961
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,200
Yeah.

962
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:45,120
And the, the really nice thing in the EQ, um, if you crank it up and get that, that

963
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:52,080
beautiful radio voice with that low bottom, I don't know what you're talking about.

964
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,080
Yeah.

965
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,080
I don't have it either.

966
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:59,080
Unless I have a sinus infection and then I get that really good low.

967
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,280
Did you ever watch friends?

968
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,280
Not really.

969
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,280
No.

970
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,280
Okay.

971
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,280
Well, I don't blame you.

972
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,000
I think she's got a lot of control, um, more than she should.

973
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,680
Um, and there's a, there's an episode where Phoebe is, uh, you know, Phoebe's a singer.

974
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:16,680
Yes.

975
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:17,680
I don't know if you know the characters.

976
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,680
Yeah, I know the characters.

977
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:24,120
So Phoebe's a singer, um, songwriter and horrible, but you know, whatever.

978
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,000
Um, but there's an episode where she has a cold and so she's got like, not only is it

979
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,860
nasally, but it's like, you know, raspy and sexy or whatever.

980
00:49:35,860 --> 00:49:40,040
And so she loves doing her gigs when she's got her sexy voice.

981
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Yeah.

982
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,280
And it's that like, you know, you don't really need an equalizer if you, if you're sick.

983
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:46,280
Yeah.

984
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,600
If you've got the voice.

985
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,840
Some people do, some people don't.

986
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,640
You'd be surprised how many radio voices don't have the radio voice and they hide behind

987
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,640
the fat bottom.

988
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,920
I mean, lots of EQ on that.

989
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,920
Good boy.

990
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:00,920
Yep.

991
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,920
Anyway.

992
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:02,920
Yep.

993
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:09,720
So, um, obviously with this, with two XLR, you've got two mic out.

994
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:16,040
Each of you get your, your own little hearing goodness.

995
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,080
Super important.

996
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,840
You've got separate gains on it for each channel.

997
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:31,200
Again, the same 70.5 dB pre-amp gain, same minus 115.

998
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,320
Again, I just had a bad day spelling.

999
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,880
It's not BD, it's DB.

1000
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:37,880
Yeah.

1001
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,880
I don't know what's going on there, man.

1002
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Man.

1003
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,400
Is that auto correct or what?

1004
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,400
Maybe.

1005
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,400
Okay.

1006
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,400
Sounds better than I made the mistake.

1007
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:46,400
Yeah.

1008
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:51,160
The same dynamic range of 98 dB, a way to total harmonic distortion.

1009
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,160
I just love that.

1010
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,640
Tell me about this mix knob that he's got on here.

1011
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,600
Mike and USB.

1012
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:02,960
So that you can actually, if you, so like that's where you, if you were leveraging the

1013
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,560
loop back, you'd have an audio feed coming in via USB.

1014
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:14,480
You could essentially pan is maybe not the right term that I'm looking for, but you can,

1015
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,940
as you turn the knob to the left, you're going to get more from the mic and less of the USB.

1016
00:51:18,940 --> 00:51:23,200
As you turn the knob to the right, you're going to get more of the USB, less of the

1017
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:24,200
mic.

1018
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Yeah, it's not pan.

1019
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,620
It is a mixer.

1020
00:51:26,620 --> 00:51:33,200
So I, well, the way I see it is you would, you could start off a show, hard, right, all

1021
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,160
USB, play your intro song.

1022
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:41,400
And then as you're ready, you could then slow feed it back to bring in the mic.

1023
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:46,520
You can start talking and then continue all the way over to all mic and completely shut

1024
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,440
out that intro, the US, the USB feed.

1025
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,320
And then you can stay on Mike.

1026
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:56,080
And if you wanted to throw in a clip, then you can just kind of bring it back, bring

1027
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:05,880
in as much of that USB feed as you want and then bring it back to Mike.

1028
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,040
It is, I mean, it's a, it's a great little product.

1029
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:14,960
I, I, again, this, this one, a couple more settings, but again, it's literally take it

1030
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,960
out of the box, plug it in.

1031
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,520
Your system just sees it.

1032
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:19,520
Yeah.

1033
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:25,000
It doesn't matter if you're using audible, if you're using a garage band on a Mac, it

1034
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,200
shows right up.

1035
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,200
You select it.

1036
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,680
You're off and running.

1037
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,080
You set your sound the way you want it.

1038
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,680
Flip the toggle to lock the touch so it can't get changed on you.

1039
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:36,680
Yeah.

1040
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,760
And you're ready to go.

1041
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:44,500
Maybe play with those equalizer and denoise settings a little bit to figure out which

1042
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:46,240
one you like the best.

1043
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:47,240
Yep.

1044
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:50,400
Um, and then no big deal.

1045
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:51,400
Yep.

1046
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,600
And surprisingly enough, the power draw on this is the same on the low end.

1047
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,240
It's 1.1 Watts at 0.22 amps on the max.

1048
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,960
Again, it's only 2.1 Watts at 0.42 amps.

1049
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:03,960
Yeah.

1050
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,800
I don't know how he's doing that.

1051
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,680
That seems like that should be bigger, but that's great.

1052
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,020
So it's just, it's a very efficient system.

1053
00:53:13,020 --> 00:53:17,220
So if you were running this off your laptop, you forgot your charger, but you've got a

1054
00:53:17,220 --> 00:53:18,580
full battery.

1055
00:53:18,580 --> 00:53:21,120
You're not going to hit the battery all that hard.

1056
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,120
Yeah.

1057
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,800
Same signal to noise ratio.

1058
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:24,800
Yes.

1059
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,800
Same dynamic range.

1060
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:27,800
Yes.

1061
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,800
Um, yeah.

1062
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,800
Yeah.

1063
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,840
I can speak to this one because it came with it when I bought it.

1064
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:40,360
I didn't see it come in the one that Fernando sent of the Mike hero, but he did send that

1065
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,440
direct so that may not be quite the same as if you bought it outright.

1066
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:58,800
But what the pod mobile came with is USB A to C. It came with a C to C and it came with

1067
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,800
lightning to USB A. No way.

1068
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:04,800
Yes.

1069
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,140
In the box.

1070
00:54:07,140 --> 00:54:14,040
So if you were running this into your older iPhone or older iPad, number one, Fernando,

1071
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,680
please don't, please don't do that anymore.

1072
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,160
You don't, you don't need to give Apple any money.

1073
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:24,120
Um, they, but also like, this is not the apple brand.

1074
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,080
And just to be fair, I don't care.

1075
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:32,160
Like I'm sure that whoever manufactured that had to pay for that lightning connector.

1076
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,160
Sure.

1077
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:38,200
And all those things, um, like that is like, that's just, again, I think, I feel like this

1078
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:44,440
speaks to the just over the top nature of, um, audio Sigma trying to help you out.

1079
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:50,360
Like they're, they're not, they're not just selling you a thing and then being like, peace,

1080
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,360
I got your money.

1081
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,360
See you later.

1082
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,360
Sucker.

1083
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:58,760
Like the, the cannot emphasize enough.

1084
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,440
I'm grateful.

1085
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:05,640
I mean, you know, I haven't talked to Fernando, but I took care of my friend, man.

1086
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:06,640
He did.

1087
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,640
I finally talked to him.

1088
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:08,640
I say talk.

1089
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,280
We've community packing back and forth via email.

1090
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,840
He did offer, Hey, if you get this and you're having trouble, let me know.

1091
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:17,840
We'll get on the phone.

1092
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,840
Yeah.

1093
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,200
I mean, he was willing to go to whatever length he had to, to help me.

1094
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:30,420
And so coming back to not understanding the product, I was coming at it from a traditional

1095
00:55:30,420 --> 00:55:34,080
I guess I'd say audio background.

1096
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,080
Yeah.

1097
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,480
And when you're speaking and you see a red light, what do you think?

1098
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:39,480
Clip.

1099
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,480
Exactly.

1100
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,360
And so I kept seeing red and I'm like, Oh, too hot, too hot.

1101
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,080
Back it off, back it off, back it off.

1102
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,080
Yeah.

1103
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,400
But then I couldn't hear well in my ear, in my headphones.

1104
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:56,480
So I'm cranking up the headphone jack and it was introducing so much noise.

1105
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:57,480
Yeah.

1106
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,240
I feel like that was what I said to you whenever we recorded that one.

1107
00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:06,960
I was like, I mean, it sounds clear, but there's some noise that I feel like you're going to

1108
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,240
have to take care of in post.

1109
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,120
Which actually wasn't there.

1110
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:12,120
Really?

1111
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:13,640
It was not there.

1112
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,120
It was all in my headphones.

1113
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,640
Well, in my headphones.

1114
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:24,080
Well, what I learned from him is you want to see some blinking red because that's not

1115
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,160
actually yet a true clip.

1116
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:27,160
Okay.

1117
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,560
So when you speak, you want to see some of that, not all the time, but it doesn't need

1118
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:32,560
to be always.

1119
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,560
Yeah.

1120
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,600
If it's just kind of periodically coming up, you're right where you need to be.

1121
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:37,600
Okay.

1122
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:43,520
And that allows you to now back off the headphone and all that noise that I was hearing, it's

1123
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:44,520
gone.

1124
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,440
I believe it.

1125
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,120
And that's where the DSP kicks in.

1126
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:55,560
So picture the red light that you're going to see is like the orange lights on your fader.

1127
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,560
Yes.

1128
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,800
You want to see those light up every once in a while.

1129
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,120
You don't want to be on the low end of your green lights.

1130
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:08,080
You want to be at the top end of your green lights and you want to see orange on a pretty

1131
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,360
regular basis, but not always lit up.

1132
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:17,120
And then that red light is the one that says like, it's distorting.

1133
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,120
You went too far.

1134
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,120
You went too far.

1135
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,040
But I feel like, again, we would have heard it if it was distorting.

1136
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,040
Correct.

1137
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,640
And that, again, that's where the DSP kicks in.

1138
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,160
The DSP is also taking care of limiting.

1139
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,240
So it's okay if you see red light.

1140
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,240
Pretty great.

1141
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,240
It's not clipping.

1142
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:38,440
And if you did somehow get to there, the DSP is going to kick in and save you.

1143
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,440
Go Fernando.

1144
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,960
So I had to unlearn as you had said, what I've learned.

1145
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,040
Yeah.

1146
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:48,160
I mean, I'm not, again, this is totally nitpicking.

1147
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,560
Maybe change that light to orange.

1148
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:53,560
It's fine.

1149
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:54,560
Don't, don't change anything.

1150
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,560
Don't change it.

1151
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:56,560
Good job.

1152
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:57,560
Good job.

1153
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,120
So well done.

1154
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:04,240
The documentation for all of these very simple, very easy to read.

1155
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,160
And I will tell you what you actually can do.

1156
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:07,800
Cause I tried it.

1157
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,560
If you go to, I did this from BSW.

1158
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,600
You could probably even do it from audio Sigma.

1159
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,600
Yes, you can.

1160
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:24,120
You can literally scan the QR code right off the website and pull up the manual.

1161
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:25,120
Nice.

1162
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,080
I was having fun playing around with that.

1163
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:29,080
That's awesome.

1164
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:36,000
So being able to look at the manual in particular of the Mike hero DSP to see how it compared

1165
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,000
to the others.

1166
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,200
Pod mobile DSP three 59.

1167
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,200
Yes.

1168
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,480
I just like, it's hard to argue with that man.

1169
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:46,480
Yes.

1170
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,560
You get to two XLR inputs.

1171
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:50,560
Correct.

1172
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:58,600
And then auxiliary, you know, from your USB connection, being bi-directional like that.

1173
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:06,720
And because you've got loop back and you can bring stuff in via USB, you can run any software

1174
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:12,440
that you need to for audio clips, whatever cart, whatever you want to call it.

1175
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,480
And just bring that right in.

1176
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,680
And you're not limited to just a handful of pads.

1177
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:24,360
Now you've got to change pages like you have to do on the roadcaster.

1178
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,440
So not that the roadcaster is not portable.

1179
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:28,440
It certainly is.

1180
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,640
Well, it's not portable than what we were coming from.

1181
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:36,200
It's not like trying to throw a 32 channel mixer on your back and go into the airport.

1182
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:45,880
No, this is, this is roughly the same size of, and you know, one XLR, XLR, sorry, XLR

1183
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,880
pop on the like stream X.

1184
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,040
Yeah.

1185
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,040
You know what I'm saying?

1186
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,560
Like there's no video, whatever that I'm not comparing these two.

1187
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:03,880
Actually, I'm just saying size wise or portability wise, because the, the roadcaster pro two

1188
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:09,640
and the roadcaster duo, both much larger than any of these products.

1189
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:10,640
Absolutely.

1190
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:17,760
And there's like, you know, it's a different thought process on how to fix this problem

1191
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,280
for people.

1192
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:20,760
Yep.

1193
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,840
Even the, even the duo, like I'm not, I don't, I don't really think of that as something

1194
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,040
that I'm throwing in a backpack.

1195
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,520
I know they have a bag for it.

1196
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:33,640
I know all of the things, but that's not like, this is a, this is an actual, I'm throwing

1197
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,360
this in a bag set up.

1198
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,200
And man, the number of times where that's what's necessary.

1199
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:49,360
I just need to, I need to take the interface and the microphone and my computer or tablet.

1200
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:50,360
Yep.

1201
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:51,360
Thank you, Fernando.

1202
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:52,360
Yeah, absolutely.

1203
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:53,360
Golly.

1204
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:54,360
Anyway.

1205
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,360
So well done.

1206
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:58,360
Yes.

1207
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,840
So again, thank you, Fernando.

1208
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,360
You were a huge help in helping me understand the product.

1209
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,720
And again, the level of support was off the charts.

1210
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:09,720
Yeah.

1211
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:10,720
Huge.

1212
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,920
And how many times you reach out to support?

1213
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:13,920
Yeah.

1214
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:14,920
It's really huge.

1215
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,920
It's the best support.

1216
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,360
I don't think you're going to find better support anywhere.

1217
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:23,400
So, but how many times do you reach out to support and you actually get the inventor

1218
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,560
of the product these days?

1219
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:25,560
Oh my gosh.

1220
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:26,560
Never.

1221
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,840
I've only had it happen one other time.

1222
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:29,840
What was that?

1223
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:30,840
Serial IO.

1224
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:31,840
Really?

1225
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,440
The guy who did the RF readers that we do for camper bands.

1226
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:36,440
Yeah.

1227
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,960
He, I, I, I'm assuming he gets bored from time to time.

1228
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:39,960
He just jumped on the-

1229
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,080
And he likes to take phone calls.

1230
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,080
Oh my gosh.

1231
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:48,000
They're, I mean, probably close to half of my calls for support ended up being their

1232
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,880
CEO, the guy who invented the product.

1233
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:50,880
That's amazing.

1234
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,440
And he's just like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

1235
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,080
Cause he knows the product.

1236
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,360
I love it.

1237
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,360
This is my brainchild.

1238
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:57,840
I actually know what I'm talking about here.

1239
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:58,840
Yes.

1240
01:01:58,840 --> 01:01:59,840
I'm sure that-

1241
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,440
I didn't know it was that way, but then I decided to do it this way for this reason.

1242
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:03,440
Yeah.

1243
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:04,440
I did it my way.

1244
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,000
Like, uh, thank you for your time.

1245
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Yeah.

1246
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,120
I'm not sure he's got some people going, Hey, your time is way too valuable to do support.

1247
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,000
I mean, I feel like this is Fernando's going to be listening to this podcast going, yeah,

1248
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,480
I thought about the orange light and just shut up, dude.

1249
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,480
Yes.

1250
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:22,480
Yes.

1251
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,440
So turns out the orange light is like 50% more expensive than the red light.

1252
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,440
Yes.

1253
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,440
Or doesn't exist.

1254
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:29,440
Yes.

1255
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:37,680
So I can't recommend these enough having used it again in fairness, I bought the pod mobile

1256
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,080
DSP out of my own pocket.

1257
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:46,680
This is not Fernando sent me a bunch of stuff to try to blow smoke at people.

1258
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,080
He did however, send the Mike hero free of charge.

1259
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,080
Yeah.

1260
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,360
Can't say thank you enough.

1261
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:59,400
No, like that's, uh, again, above and beyond the, the real thing though here is that, uh,

1262
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:08,440
that like, you know, number one, we're not going to be anybody's yes guys.

1263
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:15,680
It's just like, ed, yes, if you make it your mission to take care of people, then it's,

1264
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:22,640
it's going to feel like we're saying, you know, over the top, fantastic things about

1265
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,240
you correct.

1266
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,640
Because that's what you deserve for taking care of people.

1267
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:28,640
Absolutely.

1268
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,840
Good job, Fernando really appreciate you.

1269
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:35,120
And I want to thank Fernando for making actually a dream of yours come true.

1270
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:36,120
Oh yeah.

1271
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,000
Because what you've wanted is to have somebody send product for review.

1272
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,340
Oh my gosh.

1273
01:03:40,340 --> 01:03:41,340
So here it is.

1274
01:03:41,340 --> 01:03:48,520
I mean, I'm just saying that's so check it off the bucket.

1275
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:49,520
The box man.

1276
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:50,520
Yeah.

1277
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:51,520
Check it off the bucket list.

1278
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:52,520
This is amazing.

1279
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,520
Yes.

1280
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:59,240
I, I, I personally do plan on buying a pod, sorry, a Mike hero DSP.

1281
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:00,240
Yeah.

1282
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,680
It won't necessarily be mine, but technically it would complete the set.

1283
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:04,680
Yeah.

1284
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:10,600
Uh, Garrett is wanting to get into a Twitch streaming and gaming.

1285
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:18,880
So a Mike hero DSP with a simple microphone, it sets him right up and he's often, he's

1286
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:19,880
often running.

1287
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:25,480
He doesn't have to, doesn't have to do really anything on the back end of that.

1288
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:32,760
That's no, no, we could get him something even like a little, um, a road pod Mike.

1289
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:33,760
Yeah.

1290
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:38,400
And he, he, he's going, you can probably find those for even cheaper than a hundred dollars

1291
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,400
now.

1292
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:40,400
I don't doubt it.

1293
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,000
Um, especially with the USB model.

1294
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Oh gosh, Fernando.

1295
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,000
Um, this is fantastic.

1296
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,840
Uh, we got a, we got a boost.

1297
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:50,840
We do.

1298
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,200
We have a boost.

1299
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,400
You're never going to believe who this is from.

1300
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,840
Yes, definitely not.

1301
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:02,520
Cause I don't want to like, what did you catch?

1302
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,680
What I called this segment on the previous show?

1303
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:05,680
No.

1304
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:06,680
Oh, come on man.

1305
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:07,680
Don't you?

1306
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,800
I do, but like I didn't notice what it was.

1307
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,160
It's the Jason court segment.

1308
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,680
It is the Jason.

1309
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,960
No, I didn't notice that.

1310
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,400
You gotta read the chapter note.

1311
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,000
Well, I'm sorry, not the chapter note.

1312
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,320
She's got to look at the chapters.

1313
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:22,320
Yeah.

1314
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,200
I, I, yeah, I will, I will tell you, I missed that.

1315
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:31,160
And bonus or anybody out there listening certain chapters, you can actually click on and it

1316
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:32,440
will take you to a page.

1317
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,680
No, yeah, no, I have noticed that.

1318
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,600
Do that specifically for the beer.

1319
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,880
Very handy for finding the beer.

1320
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:40,360
Yes, absolutely.

1321
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,400
So from Jason, let me confirm.

1322
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,400
Cheers.

1323
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,400
Yeah.

1324
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Cheers.

1325
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,640
So this is a hundred and 21.

1326
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,800
It looks like that looks right.

1327
01:05:54,800 --> 01:06:00,200
And 21 sets.

1328
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:05,600
And the comment is for the 1.21 gigawatts or is it gigawatts?

1329
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,080
Oh, it's gigawatts.

1330
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,680
It's gigawatts all the way.

1331
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:09,680
One point 21.

1332
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:10,680
Yeah.

1333
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:17,000
So, um, last week's or the last episode, I think qualifies as a comedy show.

1334
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,120
I mean, I was laughing through most of it with the gigabits and the jigger hurts the

1335
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:28,920
jigger bits and the jigger hurts still make me like, yeah, there's not a lot of things

1336
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:35,160
that are just going to make me smile involuntarily every time, but that's, that's one of them.

1337
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,240
I just, it's, it's nostalgia.

1338
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,240
It's well-placed.

1339
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:40,720
Good job.

1340
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:41,720
Yes.

1341
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,560
Five stars.

1342
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,200
Very big fan.

1343
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:51,120
But Jason, honestly, I got to tell you what I was hoping you were going to comment on

1344
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:59,720
with your, um, uh, boost was, uh, whether or not your wife can etch these glasses for

1345
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,160
us.

1346
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,440
We did talk about that.

1347
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:03,440
Okay.

1348
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,160
I did send him two different images.

1349
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,800
I need to follow up and see where they may be on that.

1350
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,440
If this is possible.

1351
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:12,440
If it's possible.

1352
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:18,640
The thing is, um, I have done my own YouTube video research.

1353
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:19,640
Have you?

1354
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,640
Of course I don't have a cricket.

1355
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:21,640
Yeah.

1356
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,640
Right.

1357
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,640
The cricket is like, it's no gosh.

1358
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:25,640
No.

1359
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:26,640
Although Michelle used to have one.

1360
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,400
I feel like it's one of those things that you just find somebody whose wife is a, uh,

1361
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,040
you know, crafty and whatever.

1362
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:34,040
Can you cut me?

1363
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:35,920
I just need you to cut this out for me.

1364
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:36,920
Yes.

1365
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:37,920
So saw how it's done.

1366
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:38,920
Two of them.

1367
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:39,920
Not bad.

1368
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:46,960
I mean, it seems like something that you could do for sure, but also, that's somebody who

1369
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:48,960
does it all the time.

1370
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:49,960
Right.

1371
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,160
So anyway, big fan.

1372
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:55,160
Absolutely.

1373
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:56,160
So just thanks Jason.

1374
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,160
Appreciate you.

1375
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,160
Thank you, Jason.

1376
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:06,480
Oh, guess what literally just happened during the show recording.

1377
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:07,480
What?

1378
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,360
We had over 8,000 total downloads.

1379
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:12,360
Wow.

1380
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,120
We were four short before the show.

1381
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,120
We're now at 801.

1382
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,640
Wow.

1383
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,400
Now obviously to Joe Rogan, that's chump change.

1384
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:24,400
Right.

1385
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,000
No, well, that's not, I don't, we don't need that comparison.

1386
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,160
But to have 800 total, that's amazing.

1387
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,240
We're super grateful.

1388
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,400
Closing in on a thousand.

1389
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:45,600
And it looks like those were all for the previous show, unified wireless with the Trappist delight.

1390
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,080
So I try to have fun with those names.

1391
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,520
I mean, they're pretty great.

1392
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:55,840
I'm, I'm, I'm a fan every time and I'm surprised by it as much as y'all.

1393
01:08:55,840 --> 01:09:00,160
I try to have fun with those chapter names as well.

1394
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:01,160
Yeah.

1395
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,560
So very cool.

1396
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:09,280
Hey, thank you again for, uh, to Fernando for making a great product and giving us something

1397
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:10,280
to talk about.

1398
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:11,280
Yes.

1399
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:17,960
And for sending us this, uh, little guy to, um, play with.

1400
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:18,960
Yep.

1401
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:25,320
Um, and then, I mean, just knocking it out of the park anyway.

1402
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,640
Uh, Chris, probably the last one for the year.

1403
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,440
No, it is the last one for the, it is the last one for the year.

1404
01:09:32,440 --> 01:09:36,920
But here's something I'm willing to commit to in the, in the break here.

1405
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:43,880
I will do a recording with the pod mobile and with the mic hero, with the various settings

1406
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,360
so people can hear it.

1407
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:46,360
What the difference is here.

1408
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:47,360
Here are the differences.

1409
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:48,920
Now it's only going to be me.

1410
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,920
So it's not going to be quite as fun.

1411
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:52,920
Oh, whatever.

1412
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,260
But, but I will, I will, I will do that.

1413
01:09:55,260 --> 01:09:56,260
Get it out there.

1414
01:09:56,260 --> 01:09:58,960
It's kind of the, the gap show, if you will.

1415
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,360
And then we will be back in the new year with more shows.

1416
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,360
Ready to go.

1417
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,000
So Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

1418
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,680
Happy New Year.

1419
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,080
Happy Hanukkah to those of you out there.

1420
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,520
If you're listening, happy Hanukkah.

1421
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,600
So happy Kwanzaa.

1422
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,360
It has in terms of podcasting, it's been a good year for us.

1423
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:18,360
Yeah.

1424
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,320
A lot of things happening, but also good year.

1425
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,640
So thanks for sticking with it, Brad.

1426
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:25,640
Yep.

1427
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:26,640
Absolutely.

1428
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:27,640
Appreciate you.

1429
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,640
You too, man.

1430
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:29,640
See you everybody.

1431
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:51,280
Happy Hanukkah.

1432
01:10:51,280 --> 01:11:19,840
It's pretty good stuff.
