Yes buy a proper microphone and learn what white balance is because those are so crucial to your message.

Buy a proper microphone and learn what white balance is.

I'm wondering if what he's messing around with is possibly in front of the unit that has no wires going to it. There are some wires on the right hand side of it between it and the laptop like device that one of them seems to go to, the other I can't tell, either goes to a microphone of a block to the side. The angle makes it hard to tell for sure, either way it looks like he's more reacting to the music than controlling it.

What an amazing version! Better than the original. Then again, it's The Roots. I wish they would record this in a studio with good microphones.

And still they couldn't afford a decent microphone...

one of those sublime moments where you have someone saying exactly what's on your mind even though I would never in a million years actually ever say it.

Alex Jones and his ilk are attention whores though, just like the WBC. They don't believe for a minute the shit they spew but they say it anyway because they know someone will point a camera or a microphone at them.

I think the conference could have afforded to have a second microphone.

Change your microphone

This totally kicked-ass there, Van Der Vleuten!

A microphone inside and we could have heard the conversations between parcels in the distribution bin overnight....maybe next time

I was curious about this question also. The strings are intriguing to me because wikipedia says the instrument traditionally uses silk strings, but they look like catgut and sound like nylon to me. My best guess is that they are actually nylon, so the pickups would have to be piezo/microphone type things instead of magnetic pickups like for an electric guitar.

A piezoelectric pickup (one of a few options for acoustic guitar amplification) just looks like a small disc, so that could be tucked away someplace not highly visible on her instrument which would explain why we can't readily see it. So, that's my best guess but I could easily be wrong.

Glenn Ford also appeared in these films in ascending order from 1939 until 1941
*(Imagine the film titles as thoroughbred quarter horse names and his character's names,that of their jockeys in the big race, with a seasoned announcer at the microphone lathering-on the color for the listening audience)

I like the discussions, but don't lose your heads now.

Quentin had the same weird fit when he was interviewed on NPR. I'm sure he's got good reasons for doing the things that he does, but he always get all crazy and uncomfortable describing the reasons. I don't know, maybe he's doing drugs or deep down he knows that things are way over his head.

He's not comfortable revealing himself out in public, yet he's constantly out there revealing his private self and gets an anxiety attack each time he is asked a private question. It's Quentin's job to know his way around this charade. He's in charge of his own reigns. You can't blame every jokester out there who shoves a microphone to your face if you've agreed to be a public figure making internationally well known movies.

The interviewer is no champion of journalism, that's not his job. He's just some douche with well connected parents to have made it that far up the social ladder to have a seat on Channel4-BBC. Emotional interviews by public figures like these are amusing to watch, and that's exactly what the interviewers want. Amusement translates into ratings quite nicely.

If he's not feeling comfortable getting the same questions over and over, just prepare an answer for them that would satisfy them. Or stop revealing your real self that gets you uncomfortable in the first place. It's all games, gotta play it well.
