Great podcast. I personally like this replacement to the Speed Bumps better. Keep up the good work and stay safe out on the road. We all need to get back to work.
Glad to hear your voice again! Always some excellent insights that I always take into consideration. I'm glad to hear your thoughts on buying mics. I've tend towards new and I feel like that has worked quiet well for me. I'm glad to hear you don't think I'm wasting money!
You really need to teach a course. Your sound knowledge in a nice packaged course would be money in the bank. Hell, I produce/direct/edit educational content for a company, so I'd even be game to help see this to fruition. You got a lot of gems in your vids.
So it seems like Iām gonna be out of an E100 relatively soon
I got a new MKH-416 from B&H in 2017 for $600. Because it's B&H, I'm fairly confident that it isn't a counterfeit, but if it were I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell. At any rate, it sounds good, so I'm happy.
Good to see you at home!
Woow I forgot that mic. I was own a CAD Equitek E200 modified to have better noice floor back I the days. Unfortunately some one stole it from me. But itās was a really good microphoneā¦
Is doesent matters if you siting in the car or elswhere to talk and make a YouTube discussionā¦. You are good whatever you areā¦.

Interesting, used microphones is a topic I've recently been thrust into. I've been working with this one band and we've been having trouble with the lead singer is microphone a Sennheiser 431 recently I got my hands on it to test it and immediately thought this thing weighs like nothing! Apparently they are semi light and plasticky, I still had to check it with a spectrum of pink noise. But still in the back of my mind i am wondering.
Of course musicians being what they are this one went out and bought a used microphone then it didn't sound right and they returned it and then they bought a new microphone. Without evaluating the signal chain and the crazy EQ that is on everything. So I don't know whether the new one sounded better because the old one was broken or we reset settings between.
So I generally don't like buying used unless I can be certain that it's something that's not somethings that can be degraded. I bought a used Thunderbolt Firewire dock and it worked fine for a while and I started having constant issues but I have nothing to compare to without buying another and they've been discontinued which is why I had to buy used in the first place.
On the other hand I don't like waste but not everybody treats their stuff as well as I do so it could be a gamble which is why I don't like to buy used but sometimes have to.
