Don't mind me, I'm trolling to boost the algorithm. I'd love to see Barry do a rant from the inside of his pick up truck.
Barry, this was easily the most enjoyable video I’ve watched in a while.
I disagree on one thing though: the algorithm is gonna LOVE this ❤
EDIT: are you telling me you’re a musician/engineer and DEMAND to get paid for your work? Don’t you know this is unethical and contradictory by default for this niche? Shame on you Barry 😂
Wow, Barry. You remind me of a musician. Where all the audience sees in a professionally qualified musician that is capable of performng on stage with other exceptional musicians all versed in sight reading on the spot. What the audience does not see are all the hours and years of commitment made by these musicians to be able to make what they do appear effortless enough to where anyone can perceive they can do it. That is what I heard as I was watching you list all of the equipment you use to make a "natural" viewing experience. Amazing!!! Thanks again for all you do to make your channel a standard in video production that has a high shelf! You, my friend, are the weathered, sight reading chart musician I admire in a video production product! Cheers! Keep up the great work!
From businessman to businessman, thank you for your good work! All the best from Germany.
I'm cool with you having a Sponsor. What bothers me about a growing number of CZcamsrs (not you), is that EVERY single product is great. When it isn't. It is like they are afraid to tell the truth because it might cost them a sponsor. You however seem to be the opposite, you have no problem calling out companies for shady crap, which is refreshing.
Barry the main reason I watch your channel is due to the fact that your honest and authentic. If you don't know something you tell us. I really enjoy your rants because I think you are just stating what everyone else thinks. Thanks for your content!
I have no issue with Softtube giving you the controller - you clearly love it and it works great for you - the important thing is that you are sincere and honest.
Yeah honesty goes a long way
We need a national troll day. Good stuff Barry!
If they're going to the keyboard before ever watching the video, not sure a public service announcement will actually make it to them.
You'll never be able to please everyone Barry. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Keep doing what you're doing man! You deserve to get compensated for your work. Screw the haters...
Amen to that Barry. I know people will say 'ignore the trolls' but the truth is it can really hurt sometimes. You have every right to get the rewards of your hard work. Just keep being you and I know you'll continue to go from strength to strength.
Another fine video! Keep up the great work Barry!
YUP!- I saw the same to TROLLS on my CHANNEL ...They comment sooner that it was uploaded !!! :)
I Subscribe and watch you, Colt & Davis/ Mix BusTV because you guy do sacrifice and spend a lot OF TIME on making VIDS for us on YT & TRUST you guys opinions. Thank you again for you hard work. George Amodei :)
Barry,
Thank you for all you do. It is so greatly appreciated. Your insight and wisdom, your devotion and integrity are so welcome in this deviant time in society. Gob bless you and your family.
Thanks for the video! It’s all easy to understand, and there’s no issue with being honest. Bravo.
Barry, you do you! It’s a LOT to make these videos.. I come from video work and my self know how expensive it is to get a pro look.. take the candy if it’s offered brotha! And keep making videos and livin and loving! Hope you make millions! Guessing you have the A7s3 looks great!
Love your channel Barry!!! Great content, even the rants!!! There's way too much "crap" out there and I, for one, don't want or need to watch another so called "expert" telling the world "you're doing it all wrong." When you listen to their content, it sounds like crap which pretty much really speaks to how much of an "expert" they really are... They're the ones who really need the trolls to tell them "Shut the Hell up!!!" We need more good quality content like yours and Rick Beato's and a handful of other great content providers!!! That interview Rick recently did with Bob Clearmountain was excellent!!! He asked Bob every question that every one of us in mixing music wants to know and will probably never have that opportunity to chat with Bob Clearmountain and ask those kinds of questions. Way to go Barry and Rick!!!
I agree on Rick’s interview, it was great!
Good stuff, mate!! I really enjoy your vids. If there's gear you love, why not let everyone know about it?! Keep up the great work mate!
Barry don't listen to the trolls and keep doing what you do. I love that you take your stewardship of your channel so seriously -- and it's ok to take steps to make your time commercially viable.
Keep doing you man-haters have the job to do so let them hate on you which proves you are doing the right thing.
Thanks for the amazing content! You are one of my favorites!
The ending was pure gold!! Love it!! You're definitely one of good guys!! Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤ BJ!!
I support and appreciate all the companies who sponsor you, Barry - I think it’s absolutely reasonable to accept sponsorships from companies that add to our experience.
It's one of the greatest channels on youtube man. Great job! Thank you so much for all theinformation and content.
🙏🙏
Interesting video Barry and it is good you addressed certain facets of what it takes to manage a CZcams channel. The cost of camera equipment is not for the faint of heart nor the light of pockets, not to mention the time it takes to record.
I have followed your channel since the early days and honestly it did made me nervous when you decided to accept sponsorships, just keeping it 100. Reason being is most of us have seen where that ungodly path leads where suddenly every piece of equipment or plugin X is awesome and a game changer although it is absolutely rubbish. Not speaking for the trolls, because they suck, but objectively as a fellow traveler in music and a fan of the channel. What saddens me is the overwhelming majority of channels regarding gear and plugins are corporate shills from the largest channels to those who just starting out desiring to be in the position of larger channels. I have become cynical and make it rule not to believe anything from CZcamsrs. My method is I check multiple forums (not gearsluts) , the comments section of multiple videos and feedback from retailers specifically Amazon to see what the general consensus is especially the 3 and 4 out of 5 star ratings along with the ratios. So far you appear to have held true to your original intentions and I hope it continues.
Trolls do not have a life! If they did they would have their own channel! Love your channel! Thank you!
Rme should sponsor you with the amount of good detailed indepth tutorials you made they're great
You can only lead to the point that you are on in the journey. And your are way down the road for some of us on the journey we want to take. So please keep doing what you do! At my age i can't afford to take too many more wrong turns.
Thanks for this honest video ! You make me remember why I still have a hard time to go full forces on social medias (and prefer to keep my free time... Free !)
Cheers
Wow! 2yrs and you GREW QUICK compare to some of us:)) Gotta be your PASSION
I watched until the end before commenting. “Shut the hell up. Bye bye!” Love it ❤
I was called a troll once. But not because I dragged somebody about making a video. Im just short, fat, and hairy. 😂
Keep up the mental hygiene, Barry!
Great video Barry! Seems like we’re on the same wave length I just dropped a videos on this subject today lol I will always support you!
I really like you videos Barry, keep doing it.
same feelings here! greets from spain
I dont even get trolls on my channel, Barry. I have to just envy yours.
🤣 stick with it
@@BarryJohns It takes a year each to make my videos though!
Barry,
I completely understand where you are coming from. Look, I've done podcasts. I still like doing podcasts. I don't get alot of views. But that's not why I do it. I video the podcast with my phone. Because I don't have the money to do podcasts with all the lighting and camera's and such. I've followed you for a while now. And I think you are genuinely honest about the content that you are speaking on. But anyway you have my support. I am a fan of your channel. Thank you for everything.
mighty fine video Barry.....
I’m a gen X and don’t envy CZcamsrs. It’s a lot a stress and the reimbursement for quality work isn’t hardly justifiable without sponsors these days. If it doesn’t make dollars, it doesn’t make sense… unless it’s purely for the love of it.
Barry, How are you using the iPad as a video monitor? Shout out to Bilbo Baggins!
Yea baby!
Thanks Barry!
if people only knew what a PITA it is to record high quality videos lol. bless you! keep it up the real ones appreciate
keep it going Barry, love your videos, F the trolls 🧌, love from Canada!
Barry, don't even bother. Put the energy elsewhere, the trolls don't deserve it. I love your channel.
Thanks for the video, Barry. I made it to 5 minutes and 3 seconds before commenting.
I'm here for the long haul!
I’m trolling to boost your algorithm too. Imagine being taken to a back room to get slapped around for a few minutes. Those minutes will be the longest minutes in history 😅😂
Keep doing what you’re doing, Barry.
Rock on Brother!
Don’t listen to trolls. They are just there to let you know that you’re succeeding because if no one hates you, you aren’t succeeding.
Hey Barry, Longtime subscriber to your channel. And wanted to post this before two-minute mark, that no matter what your opinion, I have always respected your opinion and enjoy your channel and content!
I appreciate the work you put into all this! The quality of content shows the passion and investment you've done.
Sell those lights and buy a UAD Sparks for life. Just kidding...
Gotta start calling you Barry Bars! Let him cook!
Barry, you rule!! Get paid and make it worth your while. You’ve more than earned that. But also have proven that you are genuine and have your audience’s best interest in mind. Trolls are silly and provide no value to anyone, while you’re over here working hard to provide value. That says it all right there.
10:38 10:38 ❤😂 I was just waiting for you to use the word fanboy. 🎉
Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
This is a generalized statement I know, but it’s not typically in a trolls nature to contribute to anyone or anything in any meaningful way. They just critique others hard work while having little or no accomplishments of their own to point to.
Barry. Do not glorify them with responding.
But it’s fun😜
The trolls don’t deserve a dedicated video!
Hey Barry... the problem is that you're making arguments here with logic and reason, those things don't work on trolls. Keep doing what you're doing, you don't need to justify anything to them.
There is a CZcamsr that reviewed a synth and doesn’t even know how play the keys 🎹, dude got like 150k subs smh!
Wow I didn't know trolling was a real problem for your channel. You know Joe Rogan says you should NEVER read the comments. But damn I love that you read the comments and often will respond. I hope you don't let the negative comments mess with your mental health. Try not to even read a comment if it looks like a troll. If I were you (not that I have any idea what I am talking about) I wouldn't even bother with overly critical comments. Unless ... if I had a video with lots of down votes. Then I would want to investigate.
Nailed it !
I simply don`t see where taking sponsorship is anything bad. Nearly every artist, sports person and even politicians take sponsorships. This is supposed to be a win-win contract. You like us? We like you! Lets play together! Thats life and it is absolutely fine to my understanding.
Thumbs up Barry!
Well, if agreeing with this were trolling, let there be trolls! 🤣
Ha. I am so cheap. I couldn't stop thinking of what kind of tripod costs $300. I will have to see what kind they are and how much better they are than the cheapo tripods that I use for stuff 🙂
Manfrotto
Screw them trolls.
I don’t mind sponsorship. I don’t like that it’s not disclosed
You from ky me too… I gotta sub now
We like your videos. CZcams should pay you guys more money to make content.
Ayyyyye Barry!!
I hate CZcams more and more. I'm not using it anymore, sort of... I'm back to books and help from people I know. It's much better this way.
This situation is no different to a contractor entering into a contract and way of working based on X and it turning into XYZ and you have to change the approach and make additional charges. You made a decision and statement about sponsorship when you started the channel, but reality has meant that decision and stance has had to change. Hell, you even said maybe you were a bit naive. What's the issue when you're up front about it and you are clear about when you have taken a sponsorship, or at least been given a product to review? Just like that contractor in the outside world has to make additional charges and they talk the customer through it. Keep on keeping on Barry.
argumenting is not trolling. bending focus on the fact, that calling all opposition is trolling is psycho af is trolling.
Well some of us are wondering if Sponsorship will change your mind about certain products!!!! Maybe not you but some will!!!
They never do watch the video they are there to disrupt people and I'm also from Kentucky Barry.
CZcamsrs are so sensitive these days. It's not a personal attack if someone disagrees with you or doesn't enjoy your content. No need for name calling.
I know I’m just a big baby.
@@BarryJohns 😅
Barry, you need to see things from the other perspective as well. People are put off by social media influencers because they can’t trust whether the review is genuine or motivated by money. Don’t take things too personal as long as your reviews remain genuine
I was called a "troll" on this channel for asking for evidence of a scientific claim made by the host that flies in the face of all available data. So, take the term for what its worth.
Ladies and gentlemen, the troll is back! Thank you, Mr. Trollster, I truly appreciate all the trolling that you do. Even if I don’t give you all the ridiculously insane things that you wish for especially when they had zero context to the video I don’t know I got better things to do.
@@BarryJohns the typical response of all faith healers when asked to back up their claims. Next we’re going to hear Apologetics for oxygen free directional speaker cables and shakti stones. Next episode: tonewood. And anyone who questions any of these religious claims presented without evidence will be called a troll.
@@BarryJohns Barry you better watch out for the Hawaiian Attack Trolls. Especially when they know exactly what they speak of.
That said, you would agree that it's important to differentiate between statements of fact and statements of opinion, would you not?
As you say, this is Your Channel and like everyone else you're entitled to whatever opinions you have.
I hate Peanut Butter. I could start a channel for my fellow Peanut Butter Haters. If I say that "to me, peanut butter tastes like sh*t". That's my opinion. If I say "peanut butter absolutely tastes just like sh*t!" That borders on a statement of fact, and the burden is upon me to substantiate my claim.
Honestly, while I don't always Agree with your opinions, you actually amongst the CZcamsrs and Gearsluts out there are pretty damn good at disclaiming things as opinion rather than fact.
But we all have to be diligent.
Or the killer Trolls are coming for us.......
@@G_handle Yes! Someone gets it. I was asking for evidence of a scientific claim he made that seemed to fly in the face of all available, should I say, "reliable" evidence. I'll do a livestream right now discussing this and his previous video, if anyone wants to tell me how wrong I am. Like you, I am also a huge Barry Johns fan, so was quite taken aback with his seemingly unhinged response to my question.
@@BarryJohns Love the channel Barry but spending $11,000.00 on what is a locked off shot in 30 fps is total overkill. If you're using the kit for a varied professional business in different locations, maybe, but for CZcams point to camera complete waste.
I use a Nikon D5100 £380.00, RØDE Lavalier II Premium Ultra-Low-Profile Lavalier £87.00, Zoom H1N £60.00, some Neewer lights £200.00 for room lighting and Manfrotto Element MII 4-Piece Aluminium Tripod £110.00.
I may break out the Shure SM7B with the DBX286 and Audient ID22 (£750.00 for all three items) if I want better sound. I use this kit for a large publishing house and it is ample. I think this lot cost me £1,600.00.
I'm certainly not trying to be a troll but there comes a point where you seem to be buying kit for the sake of buying kit. If you were producing professional recordings that have a final destination in the professional world I could understand but your gear aquisition seems to be more of a obsession to constantly acquire kit and then re-sell it - I've seen it before.
If it makes you happy great. But unless you're reviewing this kit and receiving substantial income from manufacturers I feel you may be suffering from Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
Regards Lawrence
You should have to answer some quiz to show you watched a video to comment.
I really like your videos, but I really really hate the sponsorship / youtube thing. It's a plague. All is good if you're upfront about it (as you seem to be), but boy there are a LOT of bad players out there.
I’ve actually got video that I’ve made about that very subject. The hard-core reality of it is you simply cannot sustain a channel on CZcams without being properly compensated for it. There is a tremendous amount of work and time that goes into it. And you simply don’t make any money off views. So if you’re gonna make any money, you have to do some type of sponsorship. my sponsorship is simply nothing more than a percent of the sale if you buy something. They have never, nor would I ever allow them to have any influence over my content.
.
(updated) I'm not a troll, LOL, but if I have the opportunity to leave the first comment, I can't resist it.
Also, Neve > API.
Someone trolled ☝🏼. One period “.” I don’t know if this the laziest troll in history, or whether the troll thinks this is somehow “minimalistic” passive-aggressive. . The people who troll don’t do anything at all except troll. And somehow they get their micro-dose of “satisfaction” from the troll criticisms. But, they have to keep chasing their fix like a chain-smoker. You have taught me many things for which I am very grateful. I am using the same 43” monitor based on your recommendation. Also your TotalMix tutorials - much appreciated. Anyone who calls you a fanboy is either very young and naive (best case) or revealing their own arrested development (plenty of those guys in momma’s basement).
Barry, you don't have to explain anything about money. It's none of anyone's business. Most trolls have no idea how many video takes and how much time going into a video, especially if there are many edits. Example...Pete Thorn. I love that guy, but many of his videos are a commercials on a music products and that's ok because we all love toys lol.
Screw Avid!!!!!
Internet Rule #1: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
I dig you man, but you got to stop making videos dedicated to your "haters". Make videos for the people who actually support you. No need for apologies or explanations, you do you, don't worry about it. However, choose wisely which crowd you would like to nourish.
Hey Barry, why you talk about how much you spend on this, you are here because you want, if is not coming enough money about this, is not problem of the audience, and to be honest you can be here or not, we have enough info around to feel bad if one guy that talk and talk about audio recording, critiquing some stuff about what the brands do or not and never show what he do about engineering, is here or not, nothing personal, you can be here, nice thank you, if you are not here, same. If you close your channel the life continue.
You used to criticize you tubers for accepting sponsorships. Now you accept the economic reality of it. As long as you and others keep it real, no one cares.
The trolls are good for business. Annoying but they add to the algorithm weather they like it or not lol
