WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:07.040 it's day 823 and my co lockdown beard 00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:09.200 still going strong ion loopy sometimes I 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:15.040 do Wonder Von keeps telling me we moveed but I don't believe her it's all just a 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:17.039 blur of car Studio car sleep I want to 00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:20.920 believe her but my gaming setup is still exactly the same if I moved wouldn't I 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.119 have upgraded my burnt in Monitor and and where's the RGB lighting what is 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:31.880 this microphone doing in my face why is there an LGC 2 Box on the ground and who 00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:33.399 is my sponsor kiwico kiwico makes 00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:39.120 Hands-On projects for kids that are designed to be

down 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.600 below the truth is I already have an S tier gaming setup but there are a couple 00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:01.920 of things that have been nagging at me since my last upgrade starting with the 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:06.320 monitor as much as I love the inky blacks of OLED this particular model 00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:10.960 from aoris is based on an older panel that doesn't get that bright and does 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:16.720 suffer from frequent image retention that it needs a pixel refresher cycle in 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:19.080 order to mostly get rid of it's also 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.960 absolutely huge meaning that when I'm streaming my camera even if I have it 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.400 resting on the top of the monitor is basically looking down at the floor 00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:32.040 behind me which since I haven't finished moving in is not the most most 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.759 attractive scene another streaming related issue is lighting to be clear I 00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:41.040 love the key light airs Wi-Fi control adjustable color temperature adjustable 00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:45.560 brightness freaking awesome but since I prefer to stream in a darkened room I 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.439 have to crank these things up so bright that combined with the dimmer display 00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.119 makes it so that I can barely make out what's on screen and I get a lot of eye 00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:57.280 strain now I'm not swapping out the lights I already said I love them but 00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:01.360 what I can do to fix that is turn down my lights by changing out to a camera 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.280 that offers better low light performance we happened to have an a7s2 kicking 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.520 around that has some issues that prevent us from using it for production but with 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:13.120 a bare minimum fix it is definitely good enough for streaming so we're going to 00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:17.840 swap out my Rebel t6i for this which will mean better resolution and way 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:23.400 better low light on top of improved low light performance the t6i is limited to 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.680 I think it's 720p or 1080i so I'm going 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:30.239 to get way better resolution on my face cam this next one's a very Linus problem 00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:35.599 I find that when I'm gaming or using my computer in general I move around I 00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:37.480 shift my position a lot which means I am 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.120 constantly moving my microphone around to keep it close enough to my mouth that 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.959 its cardioid pickup pattern is still going to sound good which made me think 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:49.280 I mean our video we don't use a microphone like this in our videos so 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.879 why do I have to use it for streaming wouldn't it be better if I just took a 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:58.239 lavalier microphone or better yet a shotgun put it in a fixed location where 00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:01.959 the pickup cone is going to hit anywhere that I might happen to sit and then 00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:05.799 forget about it I don't know if this is going to work very well but this mic was 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:08.680 kicking around the ntg8 from road we don't really use it in our production so 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:15.959 I figured hey I'll bring it home and give it a shot at the very least and finally every game streamer needs some 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.519 RGB in the background right right what's 00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:22.519 in the box oh my God it's got a power 00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:25.799 brick where are we supposed to put these 00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:26.959 this is 75 Watts I'm pretty stoked 00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:35.120 though this should be good I mean the only problem is where do you want to run it all there's a plan 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:37.200 right here the issue yeah though is I 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:41.400 have no idea how this is going to fit in there you can cut these probably yeah 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.959 but look how long this lead is that's a pretty long lead yeah it's got to plug 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.000 into this Puck yeah where the devil is that supposed to can plug it in here cuz 00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:56.040 you have a power outlet there every single one of these shelves needs a 00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:59.799 strip there's supposed to be power in a 00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:01.200 box here wait what is this is that not 00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:08.640 already like a bar of diffused lighting or something no this is a bar of being a 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.720 bar and that is power I don't think 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:15.159 these power outlets are supposed to be here what why not like it's supposed to 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:19.359 be an integrated power supply for all the strips sure I mean that sounds great 00:04:17.799 --> 00:04:25.440 but I think the electricians just went and put a duple recep so then what are 00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:29.360 these like empty leads going to I don't know maybe nothing awesome I'll get a 00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:33.759 multimeter do you mind holding this for me for my God yeah sure I just want to 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:39.919 see if these are live sure okay zero yeah nothing try flipping it to AC there 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.199 you go yeah that'll do zero yes okay 00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:48.080 what the so they're very fragile probably too which is oh good we can not 00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:53.960 do the RGB and we can do I can get the CUA and we can more about the displays 00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:56.320 let's summon Dan all right hi 00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:01.160 Dan yeah you're on speaker how you guys doing great here's what we're dealing 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:07.240 with we've got these diffuser things in here these diffuser channels everything 00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:10.360 is wired I think down to this electrical 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:12.800 box which for some reason contains a 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:19.120 duplex receptacle this is the power supply for these strips and because each 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:21.600 one of the enclosures has its own 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.120 controller you need to power each one of these little controller dongles 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:29.520 separately one of the other challenges is that the leads on the dongles are 00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:33.240 quite long and so if the idea is that we have like the controller pack here and 00:05:32.039 --> 00:05:38.120 then the strip in here we're going to have a big dead zone over on the far 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.479 left so we're just at kind of a loss okay his profile picture is so perfect 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:47.000 for this conversation uh all right well I'm going 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:51.600 to bring my soldering tools we can shorten a bunch of those uh leads there 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.680 I'll grab some stuff and I'll be there as soon as I can okay okay uh do you 00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:59.680 have any thoughts on a 12volt power supply that fits in a duplex recepticle 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.919 that can do like a lot of oh my goodness these are 00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:09.560 24v why why the devil did we end up with 24 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.319 volt L strips I love Jake love you Jake you know what I told Jake I wanted I 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:19.960 told him I wanted a simple 5volt power supply addressable RGB like 5 Vol with 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:25.000 the thing these are like house lighting I just want some 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.960 Ambiance the good news is I found where 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:31.560 these wires go great you're not going to like it where 00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:43.880 what they're all in here oh my God and in terms of powering them well we've got 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:45.360 this WOW bare AC wiring which is great I 00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:49.639 called the contractor and he's talking about ripping open the wall behind this 00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:53.680 in the closet and I'm sitting here going I do not need this project to drag on 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.720 any longer so here's my proposed solution we put the little boxes with 00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:02.840 double-sided tape right here we wire up these with the barrel plugs that come 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:08.360 with the included power supplies and just wire it into the back of the box 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:12.319 right here we cut a little hole in the edge of the diffuser strip right there 00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:16.000 so it fits in there like that and every shelf just has its own little controller 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:21.360 dude out ofama jig sitting in the corner like that the wife approval factor of 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:25.280 this solution is quite low but it apparently did make it over the bar 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:28.919 because Evon also doesn't want to rip open the drywall in the closet I might 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.879 have another solution for you but I'm unsure if you're okay with you want like 00:07:30.919 --> 00:07:37.039 blue and RGB and all those different colors I was hoping for different colors 00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:40.520 yes okay cuz what we can do is we could probably just take the positive negative 00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:45.280 and white leads splice them together in the backside and then you just have 00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:49.199 white LEDs with your two cables I really prefer to have RGB then we got to do the 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:54.159 boxes could you pick a color and then just wire that color then you're stuck 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:59.720 with one color though we've got these fancy zwave aot Tech strips and we're 00:07:57.080 --> 00:08:04.879 GNA run just one color I mean come on okay all right cool bye um do you need 00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:10.280 something this is interesting well this is not a table 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.639 what is a table I guess a table is anything that 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:18.960 you want to be a table but we were hoping to use this monitor for something 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:23.159 can I help set you up somewhere else now that this one's liberated let's talk 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:29.639 about the two main options for a king tier gaming monitor right now starting 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:32.320 with the Alienware 3423 DW it's a 34 4 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:37.080 in curved Ultra wide and it uses Samsung displays QD OLED technology in the panel 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.880 that means you have all the benefits of OLED like perfect blacks and amazing 00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:46.880 pixel response time but without the drawbacks it shouldn't burn in nearly as 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:53.120 much or at least nearly as quickly and it's much brighter but LG maker of 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:59.920 classic W oleds hasn't been sitting on their butts either this is the 42-in 00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:02.160 version of their C2 Evo which is is 00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:07.079 brighter more color accurate generally better than their last gen in every way 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:13.600 and most importantly is 6 in smaller because as much as I have tried to make 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:19.360 48 in work it's really big it's a little 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:22.399 small yeah it's a little small I did not 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:25.399 think about how much smaller this was 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.920 going to feel it looks gorgeous aside 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:31.959 from that it's not running at the right resolution right now like the colors 00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:36.160 obvious serously just pop on this thing I know this is going to sound kind of 00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:41.279 weird I do not like having multiple monitors at home I don't work at home I 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:43.839 don't want to be tempted to work at home I just but it's not even about work it's 00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:50.720 like oh I want my game here and then I want like Discord or Reddit or something here I mean I usually put my chat here 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.160 on my phone okay sure so I do have a secondary display but I don't cuz yeah 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:58.880 that's the other things is I usually use it for like twitch chat and stuff on I like to just do one thing at a time 00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:02.320 we're in a thousand nit Peak brightness mode right now by the way like look at 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.720 these lights they don't look like white spots on a wall they look like wa hi 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:10.040 buddy they look like lights and uh it 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:15.000 does 175 HZ regular but if you want 10 bit color you got to go down to 144 I'm 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:22.839 okay with 14 right 144 is fine 144 is a lot look fire it's fiery see this is 00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:26.040 what cuti OLED does this is not just a 00:10:22.839 --> 00:10:28.320 green colored kind of whitish thing with 00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:34.360 some green around it that's a green light it casts everything glowing green 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:38.720 it's just a different level of realism you haven't seen the C2 yet though we do 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:43.880 have to give the C2 a chance but I do definitely like this eyeline a lot 00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:47.600 better and at 42 in the C2 is going to be a lot higher I'm not a huge fan of 00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:51.120 this stand but I could always just install an ARM that is an option the 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.639 bezel is almost too thin my webcam is going to interfere 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:59.959 unless I put I'll just put like a little spacer in here or something like that so it sits up a little bit higher mine does 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:04.639 yeah that'll that'll how's this going it's going really well 00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:07.600 are you being like Dan about it or no no this is actually fine you'll get what 00:11:05.959 --> 00:11:11.880 you want and this will all work really well come with me if you want to 00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:18.600 live I've got a full light hooked up 00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:22.240 already I've gone through and traced all 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.680 of the power cables for it and I cut the 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:30.000 end off of your power supply cool y see you later and so when we plug this in 00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:34.760 here no fire yet yeah and we'll go back in the other room 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:38.720 what if we just uh take this end and pop that off and attach the wires directly 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:43.880 to the box and we don't need that big cable and we got a nice hole here it'll 00:11:40.760 --> 00:11:45.560 oh actually that seems way better uh and 00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:54.360 yeah yeah so we we do put the housing back on though right yeah the housing will still be on genius well relative to 00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:55.639 how today's going room temperature IQ I 00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:01.959 have a question do we have to go morrettes on these ones or could we just go shrink wrap shrink wrap or soldering 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:04.959 or crimping whatever you want it's easiest for me to just do morrettes 00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:11.839 right now because we got to get rid of all that extra cable I need to figure out a solution to deal with the crappy 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.959 crappy GST plugs that are in there we'll uh we'll figure out a solution make it 00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:22.079 look nice hey Von how's the wife approval Factor here it will sit like 00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:28.880 that on the bottom of each shelf yeah I think that's good okay we're good yep 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:31.360 yes that's the biggest hurdle ooh all 00:12:28.880 --> 00:12:36.880 other things being equal I think I'm kind of leaning this way right now man 00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:39.959 it's much the screen Space is really 00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:44.320 good that is a good size let's just go 00:12:39.959 --> 00:12:47.160 ahead and get it it it'll turn on PL oh 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:50.880 sorry sorry I don't have an HDMI cable well I don't I don't know what you're 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:55.839 going to do then it's a TV lineus it doesn't use DisplayPort unlike your old 00:12:53.199 --> 00:13:00.600 aorus monitor crap I have a whole thing I've got an optical DisplayPort cable 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:04.800 running downstairs I'm I'm DisplayPort ready boys I checked your Hub and 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:10.440 everything hoping that there was HDMI and nothing we've got a hub uh and it's 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.000 got HDMI but then it's going to display 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:18.600 port over USBC so I don't know how well the signal is going to transfer over 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.959 everything but uh we'll see we'll see 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.760 whoa hey how you doing oh oh look at that 30 HZ hey see if it'll do 60 it 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:32.360 will it will it'll do 60 it should do 60 oh it'll only do 30 yeah we're going to 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:36.199 need another solution fortunately I brought home this Optical HDMI cable 00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:39.480 with the intention of running it to the theater room from my PC so that I could 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.000 game in the theater room from my computer which is uh in the mechanical 00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:48.160 room uh but I guess we can use it for this for today with the way I have 00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:53.800 things set up all I need to do is wrap a little piece of tape around this cable 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:57.279 and uh Hey ploof start pulling I'm 00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:59.519 pulling wait what a slick idea oh crap 00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:03.440 wait wait wait oh okay go go for it you can pull the cord back I might need a 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:09.920 little bit off the spool no you're good I already loosened the spool a bit all 00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:16.880 right hey we're golden check this we're 00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:16.880 golden here we go 120 HZ 120 oh my God 00:14:17.079 --> 00:14:24.680 uh might have jumped the gun a little bit there 2.0 right not 2.1 I think the 00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:29.360 cable is the weak point in this particular link I think it'll do 60 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:34.399 that's okay though because I think can still evaluate it like this if I just 00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:36.519 set it to 1440p 100 or something like 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:42.839 that ooh oh active cable it might not even do that oh balls okay 60 then I 00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:46.560 guess I know it hurts Man TVs 00:14:42.839 --> 00:14:48.880 have ah get huh that's funny yeah you 00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:55.279 should be a writer oh wow I'm trying 1440 120 and it is doesn't want to not 00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:56.000 working yeah it should do 1080 120 yeah 00:14:55.279 --> 00:15:03.639 but 1080 panel this size oh doesn't want to 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:05.399 do HDR 1080p 120 you got to choose 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.199 bloody cable man you got three points on the triangle and you can only choose 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:15.279 to okay 1080p 60 HDR try that it does do 00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:20.120 like up to 800 nits or so Peak brightness which isn't quite the 1,000 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:23.920 that the Alienware or the G2 does but it's still significantly brighter than 00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:27.680 the C1 or the G1 other than that it's pretty similar one of the biggest 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:32.279 factors though is going to be how bright it gets relative how bright these need 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:36.399 to be once we swap out the camera cuz that's why it's so distracting because 00:15:33.880 --> 00:15:41.480 they're so much brighter than my display ah flipping on HDR was a yeah it really 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:48.000 doesn't like it it didn't give me the reverse settings prompt uh I'm doing 4K 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:53.920 60 HDR I don't think it's going to work I think it'll work okay use HDR ready 00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:56.759 here it goes we got this balls it's a 00:15:53.920 --> 00:16:02.319 lot of bit it's a lot of signal man 4K 60 HDR cuz it switches 10 bit col 00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:07.839 but look it's got vrr and gsync and free sync 00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:10.319 premium yeah and the size is like 00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:14.800 perfect right it's it's pretty great you assumed I was going to settle on this 00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:17.000 one yeah 100% yeah eight bit okay that's 00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:20.959 fine I can live with that for this for this it's it's totally fine and you can 00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:29.800 fix this in the future get a get a proper 2.1 cable it's 00:16:24.319 --> 00:16:33.040 not quite as good as the qdl I know 00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:35.160 but it's really close really close and 00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:40.000 and you don't you don't want more screen like extra you just want more space so I 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:46.160 think this is the one it fits your desk like perfectly it kind of does and the 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:48.240 camera is in a way better spot actually 00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:53.519 we should grab OBS and let's have a look at how we're doing there oh that is a 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:55.680 way better way better angle time to swap 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:58.360 out this camera uh Ken and asked me to point out that we haven't actually 00:16:56.959 --> 00:17:02.040 filmed the conclusion for the video repairing broken camera and you guys can 00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:07.480 stay tuned to see that am I just using that lens and I'm just using thison 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:11.559 Speed Booster we got an ount and uh or whatever and I've got the cables that 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:15.120 should work for it power we're not 100% sure right now but I bought a I brought 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:18.919 a bunch of batteries okay so we'll use it batteries if we have to but I think 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.400 it can use uh the USB cable I brought okay let's give it a shot cool sorry 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:29.520 what kind of HDMI am I expecting to use here uh micro here oh okay yeah I have I 00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:31.320 have a micro 2 HDMI this cable well well 00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:35.360 really the receptacle on the camera side of it is the reason that these keep 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.919 having to be put out of service for us because when you're shooting a video you 00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:41.919 can't rely on this tiny little screen you need an external screen that's big 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.320 enough that you can see if the image is in focus and unplugging and replugging 00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:50.240 and unplugging replugging and strain from moving around they just all break 00:17:47.919 --> 00:17:55.600 um but sitting stationary it's fine should be okay yeah I can't see anything 00:17:53.160 --> 00:18:01.000 let's try deactivate activate hello oh hey look at that easy peasy you want 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:05.360 just 1080p probably right yeah I think 1080p is fine 00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:10.480 whatever's easier on the camera twitch can't do 4K anyway speed to one 60 as 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:15.080 yeah sup David I can see that printer behind me 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:20.360 though I got a solution you remove the printer from the room oh my God that's 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:25.039 where the printer goes oh yeah that's not annoying right okay yeah this is way 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:31.080 better I don't even notice them okay they could go brighter yeah having the 00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:31.080 much brighter oh man oh 00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:40.440 man well that's not going to work uh okay you want one a little 00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:45.799 brighter than the other go like 8% sub Dan hey freaking 00:18:43.280 --> 00:18:49.679 awesome love it we're definitely going to need to do a bit of a before and 00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:54.320 after for this this is my road podcaster good mic just has to be in my face all 00:18:52.159 --> 00:18:58.480 the time let's give this a shot with a shotgun I do have to say I feel like I'm 00:18:56.919 --> 00:19:02.679 compensating for something a little bit right now uh maybe a little bit maybe a 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:07.320 little bit it's going to fill up you're going to get every single part of the 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.039 whole room with this thing yeah well so 00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:15.720 yes and no this is actually a pretty narrow pickup field microphone it's 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:20.480 designed to be held by a boom operator like a solid 3 4T away from the mouth of 00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:25.840 the talent so maybe but maybe not David says that 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:29.360 this particular microphone might not have the ideal pickup pattern for an 00:19:27.919 --> 00:19:32.919 indoor applic where we're going to have Reflections 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:37.559 from my voice bouncing off the wall behind me coming back to it we want more 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:40.919 of like a a spherical pickup pattern right in front of it but at the very 00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:45.600 least we can use this to validate the concept so I think I've got this dialed 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:50.000 in in my go XLR settings here I guess all that's left to do is Monitor and see 00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:55.600 how it sounds hey now I can hear what's up guys what's up out there in radio 00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:02.080 land uh actually you know what it's not perfect it's definitely not perfect but 00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:03.480 if I have it like kind of here let me 00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:08.600 think I'll so I'll move around move around move around move around a little bit might have to go back just a touch 00:20:07.080 --> 00:20:11.960 in the meantime if I really wanted to have something like sitting in my face I 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:16.640 could also use it like this and turn it down a little bit and there's still more 00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:20.720 Echo absolutely more Echo but with a little bit of treatment yeah I'm I'm I'm 00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:24.360 just going to do it yeah I'm going to get away with this I think I never have 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:29.039 to think about my microphone I never have to look at it it's not in my way 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:32.720 yeah I like it I'm doing it aside from being stuck with HDMI one of the 00:20:30.679 --> 00:20:36.919 challenges of using a TV as your computer monitor is that it won't 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:42.080 necessarily be able to wake up properly when you come sit down and move your 00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:46.080 mouse when your TV's off it's off and the computer has no way to tell it to 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:50.360 wake up however did we end up using the service remote or I didn't use the 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:56.280 service remote oh it's through an app called lgtv companion is that from LG no 00:20:54.520 --> 00:21:00.240 I don't think so I got it on GitHub I don't know if it's going to do exactly 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:04.840 what you want but I think it'll get pretty close basically what I can do 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:10.279 have at least with this is that you can make your TV go into a blank State and 00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:14.640 then you use wake on land yeah you use wake on land as soon as it uses your 00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:21.720 mouse as soon as it detects your mouse it'll go back on that is a really janky 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:25.919 solution but it works I swe I swear to 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:28.159 God it actually works okay so try it out 00:21:25.919 --> 00:21:31.679 turn it on touch the mouse touch the mouse 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:36.240 hey look at that that was really fast it's because it's not like fully 00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:39.720 sleeping or anything it's just blanking the transmission but you're not going to 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:43.960 get burning or anything because your TV is blanking and I've got it set to 1 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:48.039 minute right now but you can change the settings to like 10 minutes without any 00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:51.720 kind of uh motion on your keyboard or mous I do this at work yeah that's kind 00:21:50.320 --> 00:21:55.799 of awesome it's actually pretty sweet right yeah that was one of my biggest 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:59.799 complaints using a TV as a monitor this is great but that worked right yeah so 00:21:57.600 --> 00:22:05.159 uh open the app again how cool is J person 77 hell yeah shout out doing 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:11.000 doing the Lord's work naturally
