Aloha Flow Riders and welcome to another edition of The Flow.

::

Today is a good day. Today is a good day. There's a song about that.

::

Anyway, we are going to bring in one of our favoritest, favoritest Ecamm fan

::

members who also happens to just run all myriad sorts of marketing things over at Shore.

::

She is a expert of all sorts of things.

::

But before I bring her on, I want to get everybody in the building to throw

::

that 100 emoji into the chat because she just kicked off 100 episodes of her

::

podcast, which is super cool.

::

I remember this podcast starting in a bathroom with the predecessor of what

::

we're going to talk about today.

::

So I'll further edward, let's say sup to Laura Davidson.

::

Oh my gosh, what's up?

::

What's up?

::

so oh my gosh oh my

::

god is that hilarious it's funny because it came back because

::

of comes because of Kendrick but that's just hilarious that was my favorite

::

thing when I was a kid it was so fun it was so good yes so first of all congratulations

::

on your podcast thanks and I remember this conversation in Albany New York like

::

what is it like two and a half years Oh my gosh,

::

A people video?

::

Yes. And you were like, okay, I started my thing. I'm like episode three and

::

I've been recording it with this. And I was like, what the heck is that?

::

You go, I didn't show you this. And I was like, oh my God.

::

And so, yeah, that was that OG MV88.

::

So come on, come on. What are you talking about today then?

::

We are a fun story talking about the brand new wireless MoveMic 88 Plus.

::

That's what we're talking about. In my video, I'll go ahead and expose my joke

::

now because I think it's funny. In my video, I say, in this time, the plus means minus.

::

That's good. That's good, Doc. You should be in marketing.

::

It turns out.

::

Turns out. Funny story. Yeah. Yeah.

::

I love that.

::

It is so exciting. So you're actually hearing it right now. I am speaking into

::

another one that is right here, right in front of me.

::

And I am using it in cardioid mode because fun story about this,

::

which I'm going to make some noise, tilt it up just a little.

::

fun story about what doc likes about this a

::

lot is that with the mv 88 plus its predecessor

::

which looks funny strangely exactly the

::

same uh just shorter you can change the

::

polar patterns so how it actually picks up the sound coming into the mic now

::

you could do that and it's wireless so i have it in mono cardioid mode meaning

::

it's picking up what's coming directly into the mic rejecting what's coming

::

in from the rear and the sides uh but you can put it in stereo mode you can

::

put it in mono-bi-directional mode,

::

meaning you could set it in between yourself and a guest and capture their audio, your audio.

::

And then raw mid-side, which is another fancy way of saying it's going to open

::

up all the surfaces of the microphone, so the two stereo capsules and the monocardioid

::

capsule, and pick everything up so that when you put it into your DAW in post,

::

you can split it into multiple tracks of audio, which is super dope, as Doc would say.

::

Yes and i i will answer the question and just get the the dog out of the room real quick um

::

So this is this is a point of contention with the internet um i am an old school og

::

audio person and little kids i shouldn't say that that's super mean um little kid relative

::

limited experience people on the internet that are

::

all screaming about like everything should be 32 bit float

::

and not really because first of

::

all you don't need it if you're

::

using your microphones properly in the proper environments the only reason why

::

people need safety channels is you're not using your equipment right um that's

::

mean and but it's just a factual statement because how do we make it this far

::

right yes i mean legit how do we make it almost a hundred years of recording without needing it.

::

And now everybody wants to have it. But the other part that messes people up

::

and they don't realize is if you're doing it for video and you go to put your

::

audio back to your video,

::

you can get drift because your video application and all the ones that I mess

::

with and that I think of mostly stop at 24 bit.

::

And when you have a bit match difference, then there's a whole bunch of different

::

level processing and things like that.

::

So you're actually adding to your production workflow.

::

So in a way, no, it doesn't do internal recording, but like you have a recorder,

::

whatever you're talking into is recording.

::

I can see where that would be cool, but then that's going to make the price a lot more.

::

And then you probably not going to get that eight hours of battery life. So, yeah.

::

Could you add a recorder and make it record for four to five hours?

::

Yes, but you don't really need to. And the truth of the matter is it does have a 3.5 jack out.

::

So if you insist, you could jack it into something else that does record.

::

And there's like five or six little 32 bit recorders on the market.

::

it um i just i've spent

::

a lot of time playing with this stuff i like just don't even

::

bother using it anymore i just don't it's just

::

not necessary i get it like if

::

you ruined it before like i have done this i think i've done this

::

before but just it's the kind of thing you do once uh you know forget to set

::

the gain and then the thing is just like mad loud yeah but it's normally never

::

the soft part it's normally you peaked out is what people are looking for and

::

what happens is so many people in content creating became one-man bands.

::

So they learn everything about how to make cinematic.

::

You know the most important thing of cinematic? The score, ask John B. Williams.

::

Smart.

::

Smart.

::

Very smart.

::

So there's the answer to that question. Let's just get it out of the way.

::

Because everybody asks that question always. Yes.

::

Yes. I really do love this thing. So what I want to do real quick is pair mine

::

up so we could be on the same microphone. We'll see you next time.

::

Uh, that'd be good.

::

Yeah. Um, yeah, that's a, that was a good, that was a good, good question, by the way.

::

Um, I'm not saying that was a bad question. That is just a common question and

::

it is mostly misunderstood by people on the internet.

::

I've only seen one of my contemporaries have a fairly intelligent conversation about it.

::

And that's Curtis Judd because it's always Curtis Judd.

::

That's just the point. He's the only person I've ever seen that sort of bring

::

that up, but Like all the little kid camera, I shouldn't say that.

::

It's just that I'm old and they're not.

::

Oh, snap. They're always like, oh, they're 32-bit. I was like,

::

yeah, whatever. Okay, so let me switch to my overhead real fast. Boom.

::

Oh, look at that.

::

I think I got it contained into the little spot. And then, look,

::

I can even do one of these numbers and come in a little closer.

::

Let me move the book out of the way. We don't need that.

::

All right, so this is super dope. All you're going to do is I'm going to power

::

the receiver first. Now, I currently have this thing, Bluetooth,

::

connected to my phone, which is something we should talk about. Yes.

::

If you are using the Motive video app.

::

Or audio app.

::

Or audio app. That's true. I always forget about that. You can connect it to

::

your phone via Bluetooth, and it works pretty good.

::

You would definitely get better audio if you use the receiver,

::

but you're not, like, stuck using the receiver.

::

Yeah. Exactly. So he's using the receiver right now, but you have multiple options.

::

So you push and hold it till it flashes blue and red.

::

So now you're gonna have to power it off because you didn't push it longer.

::

I let go too quick.

::

There we go. Now it turns off. But don't worry if you do that.

::

So just push and hold it for like five to 10 seconds.

::

When it powers up, it's going to light up and then give you flashing blue and

::

red lights. And that's when you know it's in pairing mode.

::

There you go. And then if you X out on your receiver, well, it's pairing, but you can X out of that.

::

Come here there you go why are you showing those two i want to show this one

::

Oh if you had your labs paired you're gonna have to kick one of those out to

::

get your idiot plus in there,

::

you think the disrespect pot he's got so much fun gear meanwhile louise is like

::

where's my shore gear how do i get the shore hookup that's what he's asking me earlier all right.

::

There you go.

::

Sorry.

::

What I did was I grabbed the wrong receiver because I had already done this.

::

So there it is. You just go ahead and press the button and it's cool because

::

in here, let me up this focus Daniel sign.

::

go back did you connect yes it's connected okay reconnect there you go reconnection in progress

::

So he had already paired it but normally if you do that it'd be like it would

::

walk you through the pairing process.

::

All right it says microphone reconnected yes

::

all right cool so this is cool because you just press

::

this little doohickey and you can rename it which

::

i might do because when we get to nab

::

myself and mary lou and a couple

::

of the folks could have the same thing but you know

::

you can do that if you want i'm not going to rename that right now i'm just

::

back out um you have some other cool stuff you can do like which i really like

::

going to your output settings and what i do is i have mine set wrong so i want

::

to fix mine i would accept my usb and i want mix channel left and right. This is correct.

::

Actually, no, let's separate it because I can't.

::

Then it'll record.

::

The hard part is I'm trying to see this with my old self and show you guys at the same time.

::

It's really fun. It's really enjoyable. I should like play along at home while

::

he's doing this. Let's see what's happening.

::

You got your camera mixing levels that you can set. Let me back this out.

::

I'm going to leave it on USB.

::

Let me back that out. And then I want to go to boom boom boom um yeah i didn't

::

what is the high power for i think i understand but that's high

::

Power rf so if you want to make sure that you have the max amount of distance

::

that you can transmit between the mic and the receiver you put on high power.

::

Oh love it i probably not gonna use that because it won't sound delicious when you go that far so

::

Go in there.

::

Also you're gonna you're gonna kill the battery right yes

::

Exactly it drains your battery.

::

I like the fact that it has, there it is, polar pattern.

::

I like the fact that you can mess with the labels. So I have it in stereo 60,

::

but I'm going to put it in mono, not raw side.

::

There you go.

::

Cardioid, there you go. I'm going to use raw cardioid. The reason why I want

::

to use this, LD, correct me if I'm wrong, is I want it not to pick up,

::

if the Mac Studio decides to go,

::

which it never does but just in case because it'll

::

be behind the heart in this particular situation it'll be

::

in a crack that sounds so weird nothing this is my desk so if homegirl is sitting

::

here like it can hear me and a little bit of me if i start to move but it won't

::

hear the back which is good because my phone is back there and if it goes they're

::

less likely to hear that Yes.

::

Okay, so let me thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk this baby on here.

::

Make sure you hit enter on that cardioid pattern so it stores it.

::

So it sticks.

::

Yes, it's going to say saved.

::

Saved. All right, so that's good. Now, you can do left and right swap.

::

You can do gain lock. I'm not going to bother with that.

::

And then you can do identify. So if you have more than one, I'm assuming you

::

can connect two to receiver just like you connect two laugh mics, right?

::

No, just one.

::

Just one? Okay.

::

At least, although, you know, it did look like I could do that earlier.

::

Let's test that adventure because I can while you're doing that.

::

Yeah, because you have two.

::

I know we have two channels, but yeah, I'm sure it does that actually.

::

I think I just said the wrong thing on office hours if that's the case,

::

but let's let's find out.

::

Dude, the fact that Bill said cute and then you was like, what?

::

She's not cute. Well, she is, but that was funny.

::

I'm going to plug the receiver in.

::

And again, if you don't need it to be wireless, you can actually plug this guy

::

directly into the computer.

::

All right. So, Luis, he is going to make the switch.

::

I'm actually going to add a switch.

::

Is connected there it is mvr is connected wow oh this is cool i could just lean back and do my show

::

oh wait he just started something dumb when i

::

do this i can't hear it one second i can't hear laura

::

anymore yep we

::

lost laura's audio okay she gotta

::

switch hers to mvr as well um let me

::

set mine so i can hear this because when

::

you put it okay so for the people watching at home when i

::

stick it into the mvr my sound

::

channel is going through but then it's not passing through through uh ecamm

::

so if i do it this way now i can hear it pass through ecamm because basically

::

i press the playthrough mark the problem with me doing that is it's going to

::

come in slightly delayed.

::

So what I'll do is put my headphone right in here.

::

How about now, Luis?

::

I'll put it in the MVR.

::

Can you hear me now? Yes. Good to go. Okay. Yeah, I was when I tried to pair

::

it and see if I could pair another one to it, it didn't like that.

::

See, I can just sit back here and be like the kids with their small little mics.

::

I feel very strange. I'm not going to lie.

::

But it's still kind of fun.

::

Yeah. So you can be wireless is the the main goal

::

of this exercise so doc has

::

loved the mv88 plus for a very long time as have i but it's always kind of like

::

wouldn't it be cool if uh we could be wireless with this and so we are so why

::

is that cool for you i'm gonna put this back over here for a second so that i'm not holding it once i.

::

And one other thing to note is when you do this and you're using,

::

like I'm using these in-ear monitors, these guys are very sensitive.

::

So you're going to want to turn it down. You can go deaf.

::

Yeah, but give yourself more gain in your receiver because you're quiet.

::

Okay. All right. I'm going up, up, up, up, up.

::

There we go.

::

And then there we go. Bingo. So I've adjusted the gain to 18.

::

which is what I adjusted it to yesterday when I was talking to Mary Lou,

::

but then I adjusted it again and messed it around.

::

But I like this because now I can just kick back and do my show.

::

Please do it like that from now on. That is so great.

::

Be like, hey, girl.

::

Hey. I don't know. It's such a small mic, though. It doesn't really have the same impact.

::

But all right. So let's talk about who this microphone is for,

::

besides all of you who are watching.

::

Why it's so great is because if you use it in monocardioid mode,

::

like Doc and I are using it right now, and you adjust your gain right,

::

you can have the same beautiful, warm sound that you're accustomed to using

::

something like the MV7+.

::

You still need more gain on yours. I'm determined.

::

I can just eat the mic.

::

There we go. Or you can use it out in the field.

::

Oh, my God. Musical Tourette's guy over here.

::

We share the same affliction. um so like

::

when ecamm when the team is at nab and they take

::

this out they can be capturing all the sounds of

::

nab for a little b-roll action of what

::

that looks like for people in stereo uh it's

::

versatile is the main gist of the story and i love that i compare it directly

::

to my phone because that makes life tremendously easier um it just gives me

::

all these workflow options that I didn't really know I had before because I was using MoveMic,

::

but I've loved the MV88 Plus for so long that now it's kind of just like,

::

This is, uh, this is my new favorite thing. Um, speaking of pairing it to the phone.

::

Alicia said I should name mine. My mic sounds nice, which is true. I might do that.

::

One of the other things that, that is really, really good is,

::

um, Jim said something that I think is true.

::

I always thought holding the little box up to the face just seems weird.

::

Now the other little box is smaller, so it's not as obnoxious, but the bigger box,

::

it just does seem weird to me so that's why i rarely do it and in my video that

::

made yesterday i was making fun of lou because what she does in order not to

::

hold the box is like stick it to a spatula

::

or or a comb or a brush or her cat or

::

Her cat oh gosh poor cat.

::

Oh yeah gizmo will be rocking the mic doing this doing her thing you know that's

::

awesome she's a celebrity she knows she is so i I think this is really cool

::

just because, again, the versatility of being able to take it out on the road.

::

And when it's not in its little container. Sorry, people. Actually, I can mute this.

::

Yeah. One, two, one, two. I'm kidding. Yeah.

::

There you go. When you're holding it like this, it feels more normal.

::

It does. It has weight to it.

::

Yeah. It has a little bit of thing. I will probably wrap it in some sort of silicone.

::

So that way it's a little, you know.

::

So you don't drop it?

::

Yeah, that too.

::

Okay. All right.

::

But yeah, this is really cool. Because then that way if you ding it or whatever,

::

like in your bag, it's not.

::

I mean, the covering on short mics is very durable. Again, they have so much

::

experience at this, whereas everything else is plastic. This is metal.

::

But if you want to, you know, you're like me and don't like scratches on anything,

::

then yeah, you can wrap it.

::

You could even put a little gaff tape on it. So that way you know which one is yours.

::

And it won't. I mean, it just looks normal. That's what I like about it. It looks normal.

::

Yes, it does.

::

Yes, you can. John said, can you adjust the gain on your motive app on your phone?

::

And if so, how much gain? Is there a difference compared to the Move receiver?

::

Yeah. From my experience, the receiver is always better because Bluetooth is Bluetooth.

::

And even though Shor made a custom Bluetooth, it's still Bluetooth.

::

Yes. Like you can only put so much turbo charge in your Corolla. It's still a Corolla.

::

Man. All right. Well, that was an interesting comparison. But yes,

::

yeah, it's proprietary Bluetooth technology. So it's not the same as pairing

::

up your AirPods or what have you, or your phone or, you know,

::

or your wireless things.

::

But yeah, the receiver lets you have a lot more flexibility and it can go on

::

your camera. It can go into your computer like I have it doing right now and

::

it can go into your existing workflows.

::

So if you're not wanting to pair directly to the phone, then that's another option for you.

::

This is really cool because it's just, you know, people always talk about like

::

not having the mic in a shot and things of that nature.

::

So that's why I think this is cool, because you can just put it there. It's only a tiny bubble.

::

And I don't think that matters. You know me. I like to talk into an SM7B,

::

but it is very, very good. The sound is incredible.

::

Mary Lou said, I've been using my MV88 Plus as a hell, hell plugged in.

::

It just makes it even more fun wireless. Absolutely. Yes, absolutely.

::

I like the size of it, too, as Gabe is saying. I think I said that right.

::

Yeah, it's it's I don't know.

::

I don't know how I'm going to explain this. It's going to sound crazy.

::

This is going to sound crazy.

::

When in tech device, especially has a fun form factor, you're more likely to

::

use it. When a tech advice has an odd form factor, it doesn't matter how good it is.

::

You're less likely to use it because most muggles, that's you guys,

::

are afraid to break your tech.

::

So if the thing you're holding seems like you can broke it or it doesn't pack

::

well, you are less likely to use it.

::

So what makes this so fun is it seems like a normal mic. If that makes any sense, it makes sense to me.

::

Thank you, Mary Lou, for backing me up. That's my homie.

::

So John wants to know, Laura, can the receiver connect to the computer via USB?

::

Yes. I don't know, John. You tell me.

::

And what about the iPhone? Yes, USB audio is USB audio.

::

So in theory, if your car can accept USB audio, it'll work. Now,

::

I've plugged it into my iPhone.

::

xm5 my sony's too far back there i didn't feel like doing that but it works

::

so anything that accepts usb audio is usb audio so i haven't tried this but in theory into

::

The iphone i mean it's is it mfi certified yeah.

::

Into the eye

::

Oh into the eye how would you plug it into the eye this x this xlr never mind

::

doc's getting crazy with the cheese whiz dang man hey.

::

You know the coffee didn't kick yet no um so yeah anything that can accept usb audio it should work

::

Okay i'm gonna try this let's see this yeah.

::

You're gonna try to get two connected to the same

::

R no no no no other device the app is very cool though so i was saying there's

::

the mode of audio and mode of video apps that are free and you can fully control

::

the devices that way but just to say when you're doing that,

::

if you don't want to do that, you can also use it with the receiver in your own workflow.

::

So you're not limited to our apps, but they're pretty awesome.

::

So I'm just saying, you know, why, why do that to yourself when you could have

::

a great experience all within our ecosystem?

::

Ooh, don't do that. So this is the Motive app. It's on Motive video right now.

::

And then when, when you have the short mic connected, it shows here and it gives

::

you all the myriad sorts of control.

::

What did John say? Thanks for trying. I can't believe I just watched a buddy

::

of videos reading up in his mic. And now you're here to answer questions.

::

John, you're just good.

::

We're here for you.

::

Do you have a wireless monitoring device to go with it?

::

Headphones in your ears so you can be walking around in, In theory, Bowles Promo TV...

::

And my brain read that weird because I live in Hawaii and our team is called

::

the Rainbow Warriors, mostly warriors now.

::

But everybody still says Bose from way back in the day when we were just rainbows

::

and then they changed it.

::

And so my brain wants to read that as Bose because, you know, University of Hawaii.

::

Anyway, so technically that's sort of what I'm doing now because I have this

::

headphone plugged into the R.

::

so you could do it that way if you want to monitor using the receiver the mvr or dash r

::

Yes so it has a headphone out on

::

the receiver it has a headphone out on the back of the microphone so

::

the idea of it having it on the back of the microphone is so that you check

::

your levels before you start recording make sure you're not peaking or make

::

sure you're not too soft and then go wireless because you don't want to be tethered

::

to it with a wired headphone but that's why that three and a half millimeters

::

on the back of the move mic 88 plus itself,

::

so yes you can monitor directly from that or from the receiver bluetooth monitoring

::

not so great because there's latency yes.

::

Yes see everybody here's the thing about having a real wireless mic and i'm

::

i think i mentioned this but again i have to rerecord my whole video because

::

i recorded it in the wrong polar pattern.

::

One of the things I mentioned in my, my video is everybody comes in and brags

::

about the fact that they can connect to your phone, Bluetooth,

::

all of the devices that are on the market.

::

And this is a factual statement. There's nothing wrong with that statement.

::

However, Bluetooth audio doesn't sound good going in.

::

Bluetooth audio barely sounds good coming out, just listening to music on your

::

headphones, which is why you can't do lossless in earbuds.

::

You have to use a deck or something that you can plug in.

::

So what Shure did was make a better Bluetooth.

::

They built a better mousetrap and it's phenomenal. You just have to use it in your in the app.

::

Same thing when you're using like my headphones that I travel with.

::

my um ionics is use the

::

play app because it does a better job of feeding the audio to your head because

::

of sure it's custom custom i mean when you've been around for 99.92 years um

::

you know things that other people don't know you just do so that's why paul is so smart oh

::

You're so mean and funny it's true it's not.

::

All is smarter than us he's been around at least 40 years longer than me no that's not true

::

Oh, my goodness.

::

All right. So we got the battery life is eight hours.

::

Yes.

::

We have the four different patterns.

::

We have customizable DSP.

::

I was going to say, we have not talked about the disc.

::

Speak on that.

::

Yeah, the DSP for this microphone, you have complete control in both the app and on the receiver.

::

So when you, I'm looking at it right now to tell you in real time.

::

So audio effects, for example, you have some presets you can go into.

::

Right now I have mine in speech mode.

::

This is singing mode, flat mode, acoustic mode, and band mode.

::

So band mode is changing what my polar pattern is doing behind the scenes.

::

So if you were listening in headphones, you probably heard that change.

::

Noise reduction. That's my favorite one. So when you're out in the field and

::

you have all kinds of noises around you, I just turned mine off.

::

So you should be hearing a difference of what my room sounds like.

::

Oh, that's pretty quiet. I turned off my space heater. I was freezing a minute ago.

::

Okay, noise reduction on. So that just takes the background noise down a notch.

::

So you can cut through high pass filter, there's a compressor you can add,

::

there's five band EQ, and then the polar patterns.

::

And it stores all of those settings to the microphone itself.

::

So once you take it, unplug it, unpair it, use it in your different workflows,

::

it still remembers those settings.

::

That is one of the things that I like. I'm going to answer this question in the weirdest way.

::

How do you have double audio now? What did you do? Oh, that's why.

::

What is he doing? Oh my God. It's like a crazy experiment.

::

All right. What about now?

::

There you go. You're good.

::

Yeah, I was messing with something. OK, so the question that came up was,

::

can you use this in the boom? My configuration watch.

::

Oh, wow. Doc's so fancy.

::

This pole is nine feet. I'm going to use the old one, 88, as a stand-in.

::

Yes. Oh, that kind of boom arm. Oh, they want a boom pole. Okay.

::

Well, I don't know. If you say boom mic, this is a boom mic.

::

I think they mean like this, Doc.

::

That's not a boom mic.

::

Well, it's a boom arm for our audience, I would think. i would think that's what who asked that.

::

Why i tell the people that nomenclature is important because i i've been doing

::

this since black and white tv i'm gonna answer the question with the right answer oh boom

::

Pole you're right i'm wrong.

::

See i'll

::

Just see myself out okay.

::

No don't see i this i people all the time like everybody that came in you notice

::

my team says slack back nobody said echo no it ain't echo all right i try to

::

teach people the right thing because if you go to support and you go, Hey, I have an echo.

::

They're going to go down a different path because that's not what they're looking

::

for. If you have slapback, that's a different thing. So I try to teach my folks

::

to use proper nomenclature.

::

So yes, this is really cool because of the attractions that it come with.

::

Thank you, Daryl. Because of the connections that it has. And this is I was going to say monofiber.

::

Come on, dude. This is a carbon fiber, nine foot pole.

::

So in theory, oh this would be real cool to take out to the beach and wirelessly get some waves

::

and the surf is going oh bro catch the next

::

wave oh yes like you know like so that's a good idea you just gave me a really

::

really good idea take this guy out to the field and like you know pick up some

::

some b-roll sounds which one could use for something so yeah this is cool super

::

cool And the pole has a quarter 20 on the back.

::

Amazon has tons and tons and tons of lengthy poles that you can get.

::

And because of the 30 meter range, you're going to be fine.

::

You know what I mean? You're not going to have too many problems with that.

::

So that's a really good question. Who said that?

::

That was a good question. Get some stereo Foley. That is right, DJ Right On Beat.

::

I've got, sorry, if you guys are wondering what the heck I'm looking at,

::

I've got my buddy Mario doing our live stream about the MV88+, the Move Mic right now.

::

And so I'm trying to be his moderator while being on this stream.

::

That's what we do. And he can. We can multitask. Okay? But sorry.

::

You guys don't have a paw yet?

::

We don't have a Paul.

::

For a good price.

::

I mean, normally Mario and I are tag team in this, but I was like,

::

I got to go beyond the flow. So you got this? Cool.

::

And then, yeah, realized that I have YouTube credentials. Look at him.

::

Hey, Mario. He looks fancy right now.

::

He's very fancy. We wore our big girl and big boy clothes today. Yeah, we're very fancy.

::

Very fancy. I get to see Mario at NAB. LD don't want to be our friend Paul and Mary Lou.

::

I know. I know. I'm the worst.

::

We was going to come and raid you so listen

::

folks i'd like to you know just

::

circle back and i'm curious john

::

because you had a bunch of questions and one more which i'll get to in just

::

a second because i like to know what type of people find this interesting see

::

i know my point is i am forever on the road and this is perfect for me because

::

it's so easy it's so packable And it could do myriad sorts of things.

::

I can use it plugged in to handle Zoom meetings in the telly.

::

I can connect it to my cameras and, you know, various things like that.

::

I can connect it to my PTZ cameras because they do support USB audio.

::

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff I can do with this. So I'm curious,

::

John, what do you see as your use case?

::

Now, John's question is, if I connect it via Bluetooth for the phone,

::

can only yes, yes. can only the motive audio video apps can only

::

work all right so let me explain this to john your

::

question is convoluted and i can't read it but i know what you mean because i

::

know you um sorry john

::

i love you the wait i can't you know why i have here's why i'm having a hard

::

time reading it ld because when i hear john's voice in my head it stops to laugh

::

every five seconds oh like the actual john so that's okay because It's always laughing.

::

The reason why you're going to use the Motive app is this type of Bluetooth

::

is Shure's custom Bluetooth.

::

Right?

::

And that's in order to make it have access to all of the beauty that is in the microphone.

::

Like to get access to its custom DSPs, you need to use the Motive video app.

::

now this this is hard for people to understand because that's not sure it's

::

doing and i heard a whole bunch of misrepresentation the last time wireless

::

mics came out that people's like oh they should just make it work with instagram

::

well they did you just have to use this

::

under bluetooth you can't do that because

::

apple doesn't give you that access to put your own custom bluetooth and then

::

connect it to other apps the only bluetooth that can connect to other apps is

::

the native core audio bluetooth which is built in by apple but that's the same

::

thing on android 2 probably i don't know don't start me lying i don't use those green robots

::

is it different no don't you have one i

::

Do but i actually i don't anymore so i have it for testing purposes only but

::

i am an all iphone gal dual sims.

::

Oh there you go dual sims that's life that You know how many SIMs I have in

::

my phone? Actually, I think I have like six.

::

You can have. You can have up to six, I think. Yeah. You're so fancy.

::

Because I have AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon because when I do events, I need connection.

::

And then when I travel to Japan, I can just flip on the Japan SIM,

::

like whatever, and I use two different Japan SIMs. One for the plug and one for the load.

::

So fancy.

::

Yeah. So fancy. um follow up in the case i want to john said for my case is

::

to use the mic for live stream as well from my phone with tiktok yes so then

::

you need to use the uh the move r to connect and then you got

::

you got full access to everything which is again it's just it's just glorious it is it

::

Is it's really good the kit is 449 and the mic itself is 299 so in case anybody's

::

wondering what the financial investment looks like, I would go for that $449

::

just so you have the whole workflow covered.

::

And you can add the MoveMic lavaliers down the road or what have you.

::

So you have a really flexible workflow. Just saying.

::

Yeah, you know, it's funny. You can feel it in the build quality.

::

You can feel it in everything. And I don't know why.

::

One of my favorite things about this and the previous version is the chef roll.

::

I just feel like I'm going to pull out my...

::

You love that.

::

It's my toolkit. Let me get in there. When you watch movies and the guy's going

::

to crack the safe, he pulls out a chef roll.

::

If you go watch a sushi restaurant, he pulls out a chef roll.

::

So having all your mic kit in the in the Chevrolet, it's just it's just kind of cool.

::

It's super cool. It makes it easy to move around with and travel.

::

And the thing that wireless brings to the table, that's, again,

::

different from corded mics is people always come up with very interesting places

::

to stick a wireless microphone.

::

So I'm not advocating prank channels. I think they're kind of lame,

::

but you can like stick this in a plant somewhere or stick it in the bush somewhere.

::

You can do all sort of myriad things.

::

That's an interesting suggestion.

::

If you're into that kind of stuff, you can. Yeah, we were going to try that.

::

So were you able to see if you can get two 88 pluses in the one receiver?

::

I did and you cannot.

::

You cannot. You can only do one one okay two

::

Move mike lavaliers one mv88 plus move mike.

::

And would that probably be because of the channels that it has because of the

::

raw side right it had multiple channels in that case and so therefore it would

::

eat all the channels that's

::

My thought but i have not confirmed that with the inner.

::

Geniuses at hql this.

::

I'm going to say that even Mike, can you answer this question?

::

Exactly.

::

Look, look. All right. So this is a good question because I know you are far better at this than I.

::

Have you tried it like coming from the soundboard or the sound puka on your

::

guitar? Like, what does it sound like musically?

::

Oh, I have tried it on my piano. I have not tried it on the guitar yet,

::

but I've used the MV88 plus with my guitar a ton.

::

I love it, especially on the piano in a bi-directional.

::

So it's got the left, right. So I put it actually did three Tik TOCs that came

::

before this mic was out and you can't see the mic obviously,

::

but I put it on the piano in between myself and the piano.

::

So it was able to capture my voice and the piano and it sounded great.

::

But this on in stereo mode on acoustic guitar or on piano is it's unbelievable.

::

Oh, my God. People listen. I don't know if you paid attention,

::

but you need to follow Laura because she shows you how to do vocal warm ups.

::

And I think they serve two purposes now, especially because Lou and I are forever

::

talking about people getting on to do their stuff and learning to have fun with

::

their conversations and learning to maintain a level of professionalism,

::

but not take themselves super seriously.

::

So if you do the vocal warmups, you already shook that serious cone out of your

::

head because it's impossible.

::

I can't every time I try I just start laughing and my cheeks get tight and I

::

can't only trill if I'm relaxed I can just trill all day but once I start laughing

::

I can't do it anymore it's just absolutely trash yes and so you showed the straw

::

trick and I was like I should just do that to irritate my mom and sisters I

::

Mean it's yes exactly because it's it's.

::

Called

::

Oh gosh I I can't even remember. The acronym is SOVT exercises.

::

And you basically trick your throat into relaxing so that you can still phonate

::

and use your voice without damaging it.

::

So, you sing through a straw. Now, all I had was a boba straw.

::

And one of the people commented, like, I wouldn't recommend using that.

::

And she was right. But it was all I had in the car. And I was sitting there

::

waiting for the train to come. And I was bored.

::

And what do you do? What else do you do when you're sitting in your car bored? You make a TikTok.

::

People so why do people always feel the need to correct something i

::

Mean it wasn't like she was saying you're a hack but she was just like yeah

::

i recommend a small and she's right because you want to you want to have just

::

enough airflow so that you're not tightening and the boba is too much airflow

::

but it got the point across.

::

So i mean like you've been in the in the grocery store and seen somebody getting

::

a cabbage you're like no i don't get that cabbage get this cabbage you ever

::

just roll up on people to do that no so why do you do it on the internet no

::

Oh you do not you.

::

Were about to order a burger with blue cheese how dare you

::

don't do that you should just get it with america because america

::

like come on people just like i don't know

::

maybe it's just the way you see it maybe yeah i've definitely had okay so you

::

know me i can't help but try to try to help people with their japanese pronunciation

::

and so in the nicest way possible somebody was doing a video and they I said

::

something that was in Japanese that wasn't correct.

::

And I said, oh, this is a really, really good video, by the way.

::

Um, Kyoto is Kyoto, not Kyoto.

::

It's Kyoto and the way you work this is, you know, you do the letters like such.

::

and the person was like i'll say it however i want to say it and i was like

::

okay never mind ecamp stream i did it once today just

::

Come on people like.

::

Oh come on she can sing it she's a singer yes that's

::

All i can say in japanese.

::

Luis wants to know oh you know what you should do because this is how i learned

::

sorry louise i'm coming this is how i learned you do

::

You can do that because you know the taste of honey version.

::

The taste of what? Yes. Okay. You do. I don't know what that. I do?

::

Yes, you do.

::

Maybe I don't recognize Doc's.

::

Oh, my God. You know it. You know the taste of honey version.

::

Like Honey Nut Cheerios?

::

No, the group Taste of Honey.

::

Oh, I don't know what that is.

::

You don't remember that? The song is sukiyaki on Taste the Honey.

::

And if you hear it, you go, I know this song.

::

Okay. Fun with strange songs.

::

The words are easier enough to learn in Japanese that it will help you learn

::

in Japanese. And it's a good song to sing because you can flip in the middle

::

while you're doing the show.

::

Another good song is Nat King Cole's L-O-V-E Love, right? You know that song?

::

Yep.

::

Right? So you can do, oh, that's not right.

::

So anyway, there's a Japanese version sung by Nat King Cole.

::

And then you can learn both and then your Japanese would be just good. Yes, it is.

::

Yes, there you go. So those two songs are easy to learn in Japanese and you

::

know the English words or you can learn the English words.

::

and then it'll make sense and you'll be like oh check me out so yeah yeah i

::

said i was old anyway louise wants to know uh this is funny because i'm sorry

::

louise does it have two capsules for stereo recording it does

::

Yes.

::

One here, one here. And yes, you see.

::

It says right here, Laura and rock, Laura, rock.

::

No, I mean, in order to be a stereo mic, it has to have two capsules.

::

Everybody else is cheating.

::

That's no, that's fine. It's a totally valid question. Totally valid.

::

Uh oh it says reminds me of boys to me in spanish album and all that that's good this is true it's

::

Something i forgot um i think somebody asked uh what was the setup for the piano

::

vocal the witch polar pattern did we use for that vocal piano setup and it's mono bi-directional,

::

which is other also known as figure eight or figure of eight if you're british.

::

Really they say figure of eight they do yes i listen to so much british tv i

::

probably just heard it and just it was in context so you just absorb it right

::

it's kind of funny how you how you hear that thing and what there's also in

::

the pirate ship there's pieces of eight so i guess that makes sense oh

::

Yeah okay all right there you go.

::

John you're just learning all the things today so i'm i'm curious to see john's

::

tiktok and see what john does with it And to see if John is able not to laugh while they're doing it.

::

The top, there's a wire going to the top, so there is a capsule at the top.

::

Yeah, that's the cardioid.

::

Yeah, so there's three capsules.

::

You're correct, John. Yeah, or not dynamic. It's a condenser, but yeah.

::

This might be hard to see, but I do have a very good camera over here. Focus, Daniel Seller.

::

There you go. So you see that one in there, the little silver ring.

::

And then on this side, you can see it better because there's the wire that shoots

::

up to get to the one that's here at the top.

::

You see? So, yeah, John, you are absolutely correct.

::

Boom, boom, boom. And your prize is Ecamm socks. I'm joking.

::

I'm joking. He's going to hold you to that.

::

John Barty has so much Ecamm socks, it's not even funny already.

::

Or not, he can borrow from George. George has all of the socks.

::

All right, anything else we need to know cool about the 88 Plus before we, and this is just cool.

::

I'm just saying, people. I mean, it really is.

::

What else do they need to know? Hold on. Let me pull up my fancy one sheet about it.

::

We talked about, obviously, wireless, customizable DSP, connects to cameras,

::

Windows or Mac computers, and third-party mobile apps using the MoveMic receiver,

::

selectable polar patterns, eight-hour battery life,

::

instant pairing, and the two versions, the mic only or the mic with the receiver kit. Yeah.

::

That's, oh, 100 feet range. Yes. I mean, I pushed it for the non-imperials.

::

Yes. I've pushed it further than that, but, um, yeah.

::

So it's, it's a tiny wonder and I love it.

::

And I'm so glad it's here and that I could finally tell all of you about it.

::

Cause I've, I was dying to tell all of you at creator camp, but I couldn't. So yeah.

::

See, listen, all right. I want you guys to hear what she just said.

::

She was dying to tell us at creator camp.

::

And this is something I want you to sink in your head as you walk around the

::

Internet and you look for these things.

::

I'm gonna i can say this she can't that is

::

the mark of a company that has been

::

doing this for 99.92 years i can't wait till the middle of next month the 25th

::

when i can say it's actually 100 years old um that was seven months ago there's

::

no rushing a product to get it out because the other

::

competitor is rushing to get it out they don't care but

::

they don't care is they've been doing it so long you don't

::

have to it's like how back in the day

::

the lakers could lose all season and turn it on

::

just before the playoffs and guarantee getting the playoffs and just

::

get another championship like they were so good at it it was

::

kind of crazy you'd be like oh they suck they're not going they're not going about december

::

they're like and then come january you're like oh

::

my god they're going back in again and then next thing you know kobe

::

is snipping nets like they were very good at it so when

::

you are at the top you don't have to chase the

::

dragon if you will and you can

::

tell that because of the thought that's put into the product and the build quality

::

that's put into the product and how long it is now does that come with something

::

yes it's definitely going to always be more because it's built to be more but

::

i have short products that are older than me

::

Nothing older than paul but i have short products that are older than me and

::

my sm58 is from 1982 and it still works i don't know what kind of math that

::

is my brain don't work that fast but it's old as dirt and it still works the

::

only thing i've ever changed on it is the crowd.

::

You like unscrew it, screw on the new one, keep going.

::

We do sell those if anybody has a dented windscreen. But fun fact,

::

the windscreen is meant to be used as a crumple zone for your SM58 so that it

::

doesn't damage the capsule. That's why it has all those dents.

::

That's crazy. That's crazy. So one last question. Any surprises for NAB?

::

Yeah, I'm going to be there.

::

Surprise! We are always working on new and innovative things. I like this line.

::

I think we have to use that. Luis, write that down. so that we can use it.

::

Hey, you're getting into my territory, Jim. Jim said, is there a dead cat or

::

acoustic foam pieces and colors for this mic?

::

Oh. There is a dead cat available for the MV88 Plus that fits the mic. That's good.

::

Jim is here, so the windy, it's windy. The last couple of days have been crazy.

::

That means that you're going to have to pack up the hubby and the kids and just come on out.

::

I'm here for it.

::

Some SPF 70 and then I can get you gigs.

::

No doubt. I went to St. Thomas with my husband for, he had a work trip to St.

::

Thomas. I was like, sure, you know, let's.

::

Oh, that's why you were at the beach last week?

::

Yeah.

::

Oh, that was super funny. Oh, see, you could have competed then because I thought

::

you were like at East Coast Beach and I was like, oh, you want to play beach? I'll show you beach.

::

But if you're at St. Thomas, you would have been able to keep up.

::

I would have, but I fried myself. I fried myself right here and right here. That, that.

::

I did pretty well burn.

::

Is the worst. It, it stings.

::

Like it was not cute. It was not cute.

::

I do it a lot. Cause I forget my head or I forget my speed. If,

::

and it just burns the head and it's the worst.

::

Yes. Yeah. You gotta be.

::

Gang. You know what it is. Always. Sure. It comes through again.

::

This is why we're always hanging out with sure. As a matter of fact,

::

if you are going to be in the city of wind on the end of March.

::

Yeah.

::

First couple of days of April, we're going to be at Podcast Movement Evolutions.

::

So you can come and see myself and Katie and Clint. Clint.

::

That's a new one. They're separate.

::

They're separate. It's Ken and Glenn and Caleb. And me. I said LD first.

::

Oh, you did?

::

You were first. Yes. It's your home office town. You get the props, man.

::

Yeah, but I don't live there.

::

We're just visitors. We're just visitors. So if you want to come to Podcast

::

Movement Evo, you can come hang out with us.

::

There'll be an Ecamm and Shore collaboration happening. And we're going to have

::

a lot of fun and give you an opportunity to get your podcasting chops in.

::

So if you're in the Chicago area or you like Italian beef sandwiches or what's that name? Portellos.

::

Portellos. Or deep dish, which...

::

Nope. I'm from New York. That is swearing. That is absolutely swear on my show.

::

I didn't say they should eat it. I said, if you like it, then you should come there.

::

Sorry, Chicago people. No, no, no, no, no.

::

No, but if you missed out on Podfest and you missed out on those pods at Podfest,

::

you can come to Podcast Evolutions.

::

And I'm just saying there might be pods there. I'm just saying.

::

Come and hang out. It's going to be really good. So that's going to be in the

::

Chicago area. So if you're a Midwesterner, come through, Andy,

::

just get some wind and let's know.

::

Other than that, there's been another issue of the flow. And if you want to

::
