    Dr. Bob! You’re amazing! And your question at the end made us laugh out loud. The “Baby” Blue USB mic is a simple microphone that has a great sound at a great price. The Blue company has set out to change the way we think about microphones. This was a great video! Thank you!

  • @theKellyG
    @theKellyG Před 3 lety

    The name of the company that makes the microphone is named Blue and the model you have there is called a snowball microphone which is why it is white, though they do make it in black as well.

    Dr. Bob.... I have a question... I have an old school par-38 system that ran incadescant lamps , I have had to replace with LED bulbs...I upgraded to a DMX control board and dimmer packs that don't seem compatible with the lamps....and won't run....what gives?

  • @EricduToit
    @EricduToit Před rokem

    Bob, I do like my hands.. so .. I've liked and subscribed. Also - if you'd put a gel on a spot, you could make the microphone match the name.

    GOBO is the acronym for Goes Before Optic

    can you talk about, how to light the different types of stages? thx

  • @mjones2943
    @mjones2943 Před 5 lety +4

    LEDs have come quite far in just this amount of time. now there are LED lights that mimic tungsten, are sequenced to minimize or eliminate flicker, and have color blending abilities for richer colors.

    @goephish Před 3 lety +1

    isn't the spread of a PAR's beam (Wide, Medium, Narrow or Very Narrow) determined by the Lens on the front, not by where the "bulb" is located inside the reflector. a Very Narrow has a clear lens. a Narrow has a slightly frosted lens. a Medium has a lens texture that looks like multiple rows of tiny rectangles. a Wide is similar to the Medium except there are more rows of tinier rectangles.

    A white microphone named blue?
    I dunno.
    Why does a "Blue 'tooth'" go in your ear? I've been trying to figure that out for years.

  • @TazioN
    @TazioN Před 5 lety

    Where to start? Pars are different image size due to the lens on the lamp front, not the placement of the light source. And where exactly do you get fresnels where the reflector moves to manipulate the image? I've never seen one in my life and have had to make do with the usual lamp tray movement.

    • @TangoNuevoTV
      @TangoNuevoTV Před 4 lety +2

      Theatre lights (fresnels) are built this way for sure.

    Actually GOBO stands for:
    Graphical Optical BlackOut
    (NOT Go between)

    • @torurz
      @torurz Před 5 lety +9

      According to Wikipedia: The exact derivation of gobo is unclear. It is often cited as "goes before optics" or, less often, "goes between optics". An alternative explanation is "graphical optical black out."
      So you're both right (or wrong) ;)
