Great, there you're again, I missed your podcast last Sunday and was worried if you were fine.
He had a community post that he took a day off for some reason ^^
You could use the $50k to help start the Microphone Museum....
You sound good on the Dynacaster. I am a fellow mic junky (though not to your extent . . . yet) and got a Dyna to test out and the more I use it, the more I like it. It is my office mic (for zoom calls, etc.). It is running into a Revelator io24 with just a bit of EQ and a lowpass and gate because I am right next to the road. Pretty impressed at this price point. Thanks for all you do.
This mic sounds great on you! Sounds nice and full, solid all around.
Very interesting show as usual! Thank you!
i love the over head shot to get a better picture into your set up !
I'm also very happy with mine sE Dynacaster! Happy podcasting!
T2 is such an incredible movie. Never gets old. Also, it's a good microphone :P
I argued years ago that CZcams would be a good place to podcast. I was laughed out of the room. I would like money now CZcams.
Plus this addresses something I’ve long argued and this might be a gloomy point. If Father Time knocks on my door and I don’t have anyone to keep paying my podcast hosting provider, my voice will check out too. One thing I like about the CZcams platform. Legacy. But what do I know.
I love the sound of the Dynacaster! I want one
It's sad that I can only get this once a week because Bandrew is very busy. Love the podcast always watch it to the end.
Bannndeeedo!
Bandrew and Audio Haze bring up an interesting point. I can honestly say that I don't do CZcams to make money... for myself but if my videos are used for profit by a company, even when I give permission, can I honestly say I don't make CZcams videos to make money? Someone else is making the money but still.
We know there is value in our reviews. Some others, I question, like this one guy I won't name that is sent a lot of free gear but all he does is praise it and say stuff he read from the promotion material. I respect him as a professional in his trade but his "review" style pisses me off. I could get a review out same day of release (like he does) if I did reviews like his but I can't. It wouldn't make me happy. Choices...
We also know that manufacturers benefit from our reviews thru suggestions like feature upgrades. A few years back I mentioned that dynamic microphones lose some appeal when people have to factor in the cost of a Cloudlifter, Fethead, etc or a better interface with a lower noise preamp to get best performance out of it but if a company were to integrate a mic activator into a dynamic, it would be a more cost effective solution for the end user if they don't buy many mics. In this week's episode you even said the Dynacaster has a Dynamite built in. I can't take credit for that but who knows if someone like me suggested it and they listened?
I know some companies have taken my suggestions and used those ideas for firmware updates. In my Deity BP-TRX review I even stated in the first minute that I'm not going to waste my time testing things that can be corrected in a firmware update but instead will test things unlikely to be. Funny that within two days they fixed the issue I blasted them for (timecode). They aren't alone though. Many manufacturers take our ideas and make a fortune off it them.
This brings up another interesting point. If CZcams were to offer an Advanced Studio with features like allowing the content creator to white list websites that can embed videos (like our own), for $10 a month, how many people would what these features and pay for them? You would, I know.
I'm slowly beginning to really like the sE Dynacaster. Seems like a mic that would make a whole lot of sense for recordings at youur computer desk.
A lot of the recent podcast microphones haven't sounded very good to me but this one sounds like it can actually compete.
This is much more than a podcast mic tho. It has a whole EQ in the back so it's definitely a suitable mic for home music creations
Look up some reviews. Lots of ppl think it even "wins" the sm7b
So true thank you
For the voice submission about OBS where the mic is softer than the computer volume I would recommend adjusting the desktop audio slider to about 50%, this should make the mic louder than the desktop audio. It won't change the sounds you hear only how loud it is recorded in OBS.
Wow, this mic sounds great on your voice.
I think the factory settings on the Dynacaster are pretty random. Mine came with the bass boost on and the treble in the flat position. I had to return it though, because it was picking up interference in my room (which has affected all dynamic mics I've tried so far, so I'm still stuck with the SM7B and its humbucking coil).
Genuine Q : Are Dynamics prone (or more prone than Condensers) to pick up Electronic interference?
@@IcecalGamer Dynamic microphones use a voice coil that acts like a transformer, so they can pick up electromagnetic radiation pretty easily. Condenser mics don't have that, so they're not affected by that (though their electronics or cables could still do it). In my setup, I've never had any noise issues with condensers, but consistently with dynamics.
@@IcecalGamer I had zero issues with the DynaCaster in this regard. However, the V7 was unusable due to EMI.
Much better :)
When you refer to short-form, what time-period would you consider the ideal mix of long-form and short-form?
I really wish there was a way block all shorts on YT. I think they are useless.
What mic arm is that? Would it work with a neuman tl102?
3:51 I’m not going to edit at all. *Edits out drinking of water* haha
I also found that hilarious.
Manufacturing quality control... sigh... I remember the old days when a worker in Japan would stop the assembly line when he started his shift and saw aluminum screws in his box instead of the usual brass. That was attention to detail. Korea still makes good stuff. China? I make sure to test everything before the return period expires. As for Podcasters, I'm sure those $50,000 checks will go to people who say what they should say about topics approved for the masses. Good audio is not where they will throw their money.
Well, even more expensive and more popular mics like the Shure SM7B are manufactured in China.
Love you too :) 😇🙏
Hi! I just got the Dynacaster as well, but I have a question. How come you have such little noise? I have a bit louder noise with my recordings. My "Dynamite" preamp has been engaged. Thanks!
You probably have a not so great interface with a very loud noise floor and the extra lift is producing more noise as well.. The more gain the more noise.
@@SaintsPurgatory I use an RME Babyface Pro FS. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Does setting a lower gain help?
Revelator Dynamic please and thank you
Do they get into contact with you or do you have to send a email to CZcams to see if you qualify?
Bandrew is not afraid to sell out ! 😂
I didn't sell out, son, I bought in. 😂
I think it's kind of funny how CZcams wanted to prioritize short content because of the competition against TikTok and now TikTok wants to push for longer content (up to 10 minutes iirc) because of the competition from CZcams probably. They're just taking shots at each other at this point.
I don't even know why CZcams tried to compete with them when just like Instagram and other social media sites before it were eventually going to try to copy CZcams and make videos longer
Hey Bandrew. Surely if retailers are embedding your content on their websites, you still get the views and the ad revenue. If you were somehow able to prevent retailers sharing your work, would that actually be a benefit to you?
So you are taking what CZcams ad-sense pays for views and comparing that to what these retailers are making in sales? Seems like you don't think in real world profits that are made by the retailers by using your content without permission or any type of compensation. Think of it as the retailers are using you to promote their products. Do people appear in commercials for free? That's exactly what is happening to creators when they are used by these retailers; the profits go to the sellers and they do not pay a dime to the content creator. It's an exchange that ONLY benefits the sellers. Would you work anywhere for free? I'm sure there are a lot of companies that would love to have free labor to produce their products. You would never work for absolutely zero compensation because that would not "actually be a benefit to you". Therefore, why are content creators expected to create and have no choices when their content has been taken freely to promote a retailer's product?
I wonder how many of your embedded videos have my favorite line of yours: “Sucks a big bag of dongs.” Helen in Peoria will be clutching her pearls at that!
Brad Fiedel wrote a genius theme. But personally I think that 1st film theme is a bit better. Brutal, tough and rough.
So, you filmed this video with HPF and 1st high-shelf boost. That sounds pleasant to me. What do you think about flat mode on your voice? Is it too dark for your ear?
No HPF, I had the Low Shelf engaged. The little low boost. And the 1st high shelf. And I have enjoyed all the settings, but like always I think the HPF is a bit much, and the 2nd high shelf is too much.
Ah ok, my bad. I haven't seen one of your videos on a retailer page. The shops I check, do not embed YT videos at all, other than their own, or product clips / ads.
Retailers doing the thing would produce more jobs (and sell more product). Manufacturers usually do produce content for their product. Needless to say, the consumer would value (and therefor watch) something that was independently reviewed, unless some level of brand loyalty is achieved by a returning customer.
True
I'm not a podcaster, I'm an amateur photographer. Though I take photos and post them online without being paid, this does not imply that I am giving away my photos for others to use without my permission. My implicit copyright is established in law without me having to do or say anything. All I have to do is take the photo and the copyright of my photo is instantly, implicitly protected by law. I am quite certain that copyright laws apply to audio and video podcasts/product reviews too.
As for payment in the form of photo credit.. uhh, no. If you use my photo without credit and without my permission, that's copyright theft. If you want to use my photo then we can negotiate a price. If you want to use my photo but don't want to give me credit, that's going to cost a lot more.
There may be an implicit exemption for usage permissions if your CZcams video is set to allow embedding. I'm a photographer rather than a CZcamsr so I'm not at all sure. CZcamsrs who read the fine print will know better than me on that.
I heard the SE V7 degrades over time. Anyone with that issue?
You’re funny!!
Watch it with Fresh eyes....but first, let me tell you all about it.
I can tell you genuinely love the movie, so I'll forgive you.
But only if people talk about what CZcams wants them to talk about, spreading "The message."
The manufacturer gets rewarded for making a good product when a sale is made.
A retailer, unless you specifically mentioned then in the mic review, is just getting a free sales pitch.
A retailer is making profit off the content creator without so much as a "thanks, we just made a million in sales because of you guys! Now go pound a bag of dicks you poor dumb scumbag influencers!"
I think it is corrupt for Manufacturers to post product review videos, made by reviewers that were sent the product "free," for review. And any reviewer that is made aware of this situation, that doesn't demand it to be taken down, call or the manufacturer, and stop ALL future interactions, are also risking judgement of corruption.
While this is true. And why most movie review sources, have little that truly trust them. It is also pretty unrealistic, with how the world works, to hold anyone to these standards. The truth is, unless actual laws are broken, each individual is responsible for their own reputation. No matter how above board & transparent someone is. There will always be accusers, judging & proclaiming corrupt behavior. In the end, fair or not, one has to follow the path they choose for themselves.
Advocate away!
Advocating for better behavior & general environment, is usually a great thing. Even if one is missing a piece of the big picture (not saying you are), such interjections of ethical concerns, inform the larger understanding. Dialog is never bad (imo).
Why would they pay the people who're already here? ;D
They're likely trying to poach from Twitch or something.
With that money buy an Earthworks SV-33 😃
I still don't think I agree with Bandrew on the embedding, maybe it's not good etiquette, but its kind of the issue with public content with public embedding capability. The expectation is set with that designation, and I don't know if it's reasonable for companies to interpret that differently.
If you on the other hand disallowed embedding via youtube and say Amazon did it anyway, that would be wrong as it violates the designation.
It's a similar debate as is happening in open source communities. Big companies are using open source libraries without contributing to them in any way and making money off those libraries. I am not opposed to this because it abides by the license. Why would a big company interpret differently than stated? If the creator doesn't like this, then they should change the license.
A solution to this that I support is tiered use; it's free for use by everyone except those generating some specified revenue. I think something could be applicable here for content creators.
Producing and posting content does not make it public, it's only out there for the internet users to consume, your content is your property. So if creator's content on CZcams is considered public then why are copyright claims being made against channels that use other's property? DMCA ring any bells? See, it is not a free for the taking.
But what if the retailer is embeding the video that they found on the manufactures website, most times retail sites don't really do the work it is the manufacture who gives them the information to put on their site and this includes embeded videos. I mean you do get some money from any ads that do play, unless you are a "bad actor" (according to CZcams because you have less than 1k subs and 4k hours watch time) then you get $0. If that happens you get tons of views sure but without the subs you will remain a "bad actor", by CZcams standards.
The money ratio of ad-sense off CZcams is in no way comparable to the profit of the sellers. Why does everyone think Ad-sense is a get rich quick scenario?
For something like, let's say a free Bugatti Chiron or something like that I would make a review and give it to them to clip the video as much as they want. :D
How do you make money if not CZcams?
Invade other's privacy much?
I can see totaly how you are conflicted about retailers and manufacturers embedding your videos. I would argue that before they do, you get paid. There are you tubers who have earned and established integrity of their content over commercialism. You are definitely 1. Linus, Julian, Steve at GN and many more get paid advertisements in their content and no one would question their impartiality. They call out crap when and where they see it. You tubers are nothing once they lose the trust of their audience.
Short TikTok is cancer. Long TikTok?
I only subscribe to the bottom of the barrel nothing bottom feeders that have been doing this for 6 years.
The value of your mic reviews lies in the fact that you AREN'T being paid by the retailer. The second you are paid by the retailer, the review loses some credibility. I believe you should be compensated and I think it needs to be done in a way that doesn't incentivize you to go chasing retailer's money by compromising the objectivity of your reviews. How that would work? no idea.
I would never accept money to make a review. I’m saying that if a retailer is retroactively grabbing reviews that I made independently, using equipment that I bought, and then embedding them and earning money based off my work, they should be required to compensate me. Just like if some asshole embedded my videos on a blog and just added a bunch of their affiliate links and advertisements around the video, I’d think that they are 100% in the wrong.
@@bsp CZcams makes its money off of advertising...(and they give a portion to the content creator). But you are pointing out that the content is often the advertisement and they've ignored a whole revenue stream by not collecting their share. I think CZcams should consider a commercial membership level for companies that want to embed 3rd party videos on their sites and give a portion of that revenue to the creators that this affects. That way CZcams is the middleman and nobody can say you are being paid directly by the retailer. And for the retailer, those embedded videos would be presented ad-free and they can continue to save money by not making their own videos.
Dude, I just love your channels, Banjo but I gotta say: I'd really really really prefer if you did a straight jumpcut throughout the video instead of this distracting bird's eye view. Or no cuts at all. Just we like to see your face while you're speaking and all the back and forth makes it distracting. If someone else agrees with me, please like this comment so Brandrew considers it. Thanks
No
Incoherent ramblings with no conclusion ahead:
I don't know what retailer you're referring to, but the one I've shopped at that has embedded your (and others') videos is the german Thomann. They probably aren't the ones you're referring to since they clearly have hired people to do voice and instrument samples as well as videos (their combined youtube channels appear to have views in the 9 digit range).
Ultimately it is in the interest of retailers to help the right customers find the right products (returns aren't profitable) so gathering the best information about the products to where potential customers are most likely to see them serves the interests of at least the retailer and the customer. Obviously quality reviews have value. I don't know what the correct solution to all this is, but I can imagine some kind of system where youtube requires retailers to pay ad fees for embedding videos.
I sometimes post text reviews of products I've bought from stores that have a system for it - the level of effort that goes into this is obviously miniscule compared to the video reviews found on Podcastage and youtube in general, but I imagine the motivations are at least partially similar. Ultimately as long as it's my honest opinion and experience getting out there to my fellow consumers I'm happy when it does. If my review is positive I consider whatever money the manufacturer and retailer that enabled me to buy such a product make well deserved. Likewise for the losses from when my reviews are negative.
Also, what size of retailers do we actually want? It seems to me that there are significant network effects at play here. Retailers aren't going to share their customer reviews with their competitors for free. I already check Amazon's and other sites' customer reviews even when I buy my products elsewhere, I can see why somebody might equate this with piracy. Is having the infrastructure and customer base for numerous reviews on every single product an absolute requirement now? For retailer-funded product reviews and videos it doesn't get any better, even ignoring the obvious risk of bias you'd need to have enough volume for each of the products to justify the investment. All of this would put bigger retailers in a position of more power. Would the logical conclusion of that be a single humongous retailer, in a monopoly position, able to extract all surplus value out of both the manufacturers and the customers? Many people already complain about the Amazons and Walmarts of the world having too much power.
What would be right is for retailers NOT to use creators property for their profit without consent /compensation to the creator. Or do the retailers just continue pirating content so they never have to put out a dime of advertising?
