More directional than before.
This is the microphone I added. It is setup in the straight-ahead mode and did make a big improvement over the first videos I did. https://www.sony.com/electronics/handycam-camcorders-microphones-speakers/ecm-xyst1m Maybe this one would be better. https://www.sony.com/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras-microphones/ecm-gz1m I see they have some even better microphones, but I get $0 out of doing these, so I'm not likely to spend $600 on microphones. I also don't have any time to worry about mixing separately recorded audio later. We did have a vendor that was talking about some sponsored podcasts, but that never came to fruition (their scheduling issues, then just fell onto the floor). A sponsorship or two would enable better equipment. If the WISPA policies change regarding recording and TBW can send some people that just worry about the press side of things (instead of me trying to balance TBW press, ICS learning and M-IX selling), we'll press again to get some sponsorships to get better equipment. Regarding the sending of more people, we have some people that used to be WISPs and are in other high-tech industry that a lot of the network side of things carries over, but taking a week off of work, flight, hotel and conference pass are a bit of an expense to just do these silly videos. They've said that waiving of the conference fee would be enough of an incentive to come and be dedicated to videos. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gino Villarini" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2017 8:14:12 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] All WISPAmerica 2017 Interviews Mike, are you using a directional mike (pardon my pun) for the videos?
