ittle update on the sound because so many of you have asked for it. Now people have said to me, Scott you should upgrade your sound system. Yes, yes I should. I've got every kind of sound device you could possibly think of. I've got a whole rack of high-end sound equipment. I've got this, I've got this and all this. And here's what I've learned because I've experimented with all of this stuff. If…
← Previous segment →. And I had to order a second one of these so that I could use it with YouTube. So here's the bottom line. The sound will be different in a few days on YouTube without the echo. And I think that will be the best it could be. I have tried for four years every possible sound and video combination and this is what I've learned. You can't beat the video from an iPhone or an iPad. So this is just my iPhone that you're watching right now. It's the best video. If you get any kind of high-end camera you can get a better video but the complexity of a high-end camera because you have to run it through other equipment and other software it basically makes it completely unusable because you can get it to work but the very second time you want to use it some software will need updating, something went off, something timed out. It just never works twice. So the iPhone or the iPad is the number one way to get a clean video that works every time.
But to get the sound, like I said I've purchased expensive sound boards such as this one, such as this thing and you know I've learned to use it. I've hooked it all up. I've soundproofed a room, different room in the house. I've tried every combination of microphones and the best kind. I'm buying some pretty high-end stuff and nothing works as well as a $20 plug-in lavalier microphone on an iPad. Nothing comes close. Now I could come close if I had a full-time engineer and a room that was designed for sound and then this high-end equipment and then the engineer troubleshooting it every day because you have to troubleshoot it every time you use it. All right, so I just thought I'd give you that update and I will talk to you tomorrow.
