Hey, it's now time for Tech Talk number seven. Number seven. Boy, we've been doing this for 14 weeks now. Wow, just awesome. It's 1919, 2019, 1919, who's our fashion? 2019, I've ruined four or five checks already. It's 2019. We've been doing the show for a while. We got some great stuff tonight, some great stuff on. Man, we've talked about the new Apple stuff, the good and the bad, the roadcaster pro, getting your Sennheiser mic serviced and cleaned. We had questions from a ton of folks in the audience about soundproofing an airport, dealing with setting your right sample rates, for example. What's compression? What's normalization? What else here? Somebody asked about how do you build a sound booth? Well, we show you how, we got a video for that. Dealing with the heat in Texas, dealing with production on the iPad. And is it a good idea to get your mic cleaned? We'll find out. If I'm aware and what I would suggest for that. All right, all that and more on VoiceOver Body Shop Tech Talk. From the outer reaches, they came bearing the knowledge of what it takes to properly record your voice over audio. And together from the center of the VO universe, they bring it to you now. George Whidham, the engineer to the VO stars, a Virginia Tech grad with the skills to build, set up and maintain the professional VO studios of the biggest names in VO today. And you, Dan Leonard, the voiceover home studio master, a professional voice talent with the knowledge and experience to help you create a professional sounding home VO studio. And each week they allow you into their world, making the complex simple, debunking the myths of what it takes to create great sounding audio, answering your questions, showing you the latest and greatest in VO tech and having a dandy time doing it.

And now, live to drive from their super secret clubhouse and studio in Sherman Oaks, California, here are the guys. And it's now time for Tech Talk. All right. But we got lots of cool stuff. Oh, I know, this is where you get to glow. There's sort of like this halo around you when we do this. I need the halo from our last guest, Eric had a nice halo. Yeah, we'll work on that. We'll try that for next time. But anyway, in your tech update, cool stuff, let's race through this and see what we can talk about that will enlighten the technical people. I won't waste a lot of time because we did get a ton of questions. Yeah, you guys can submit yours right now because we will get to them tonight. I won't spend too much time on tech news, but New Max came out, Apple's doing this weird thing now where they release new hardware, don't tell anybody, then have this big dog in pony with celebrities and say, we do television now and we do movies now, which, sorry, Apple, selling out big time, disappointing. But whatever, they do have, they have new iMacs. They look just like the last ones. I was hoping to at least see the new iMacs would have default SSDs, like all the new Macs. You still have to order them. They still come specced with Fusion drives.   They're not as well-performing and they're lame. But if you buy a new Mac, whether it's five years old or brand new, get it with an SSD. Trust me, worth it, absolutely worth it. As I said, Apple, what are you doing? They're pivoting. They're becoming a service company, not a hardware company. So they're going, all these companies that sell monthly services and make billions of dollars, maybe we should give that a shot. Even though they're already making billions of dollars. They're making crazy money, but they're looking at their revenue flattening out, the plateauing, because everybody has five iPhones. They've already bought, you have a new iPhone, you have the 10R. What is new in this phone that is revolutionary that has changed your life over your, what was the seven? What did you have? I had an eight. An eight. Okay, so what is the it thing in your 10R? Well, first off, if I wanna open it, all I have to do is look at it. The dimple is gone.  My LG does that too. Okay. Just saying, just saying. All right, but it does that. It's a, I think it's a little bit more secure that way.  You got more problems to worry about. I know, but they got nothing to grab on to either, which makes it a little easier. But the camera is great. It's got a 12 megapixel camera. The camera's always a little better. Yeah, when, you know, for shooting video, you can't beat it. It's really, it's really great. You have to get used to some of the, you know, the, the swiping. I guess swiping is the thing, you know, that's really important. But the best price, the best thing was, was the price because I switched from one company that was charging a tremendous amount of money for iPhones and we got five phones.  They bought our old phones and it's costing us half as much. So, you know. That's pretty good. As long as you're in a sprint area. Yes. Oh yeah, we're in a sprint. Yeah, so that's why, that's the other reason I like it. I also have a new iPhone. Let's hold my new iPhone up in front of your iPhone. It's pink. Let's hold it up for size comparison, shall we? Mine's bigger. This is a iPhone SE in rose gold. Oh, why do I have this? Because I wanted the most affordable iPhone I could find that still is current. So this is the least expensive iPhone you can buy that still runs iOS 12.2 and it does all the latest stuff. I got this on eBay refurb. It looks like it was never ever used and I got it for a hundred bucks. Hundred bucks and it is beautiful. It's an iPhone, it's a legit iPhone. It's called the SE and it's the same brains and guts as the seven. So while it looks really old and tiny, it still has the, you know, it's still more useful on the inside. It's still more powerful than the lunar module. It is way more powerful than the lunar module. Yeah, this thing is significant. So I got it because I wanted to have, first of all, a backup phone. Because this one is the Google Fi with Sprint AT&T and US Cellular. This one is running Track Phone, Pay As You Go, which is Verizon. So the theory is I have every damn network covered at this point, hopefully with this phone I've got it all covered. We'll be able to find you no matter where you are. And when there's new things from the iPhone my clients are going, did you try this thing?  About time, right? Anyway, so Road Procaster, we mentioned that the, I keep calling it the Road Procaster. It is not the Road Procaster.  It's great. I did a whole episode of the Pro Audio Suite. I did a whole YouTube on George the Check about it. You can go watch it, it's entirely too long. It's a programmable podcasting machine, essentially. Yeah, I mean, it's super sophisticated under the hood, but it's super simple on the outside, which is the way it should be. It's easy to use, it has big, cool looking faders. Is it perfect? No, but it's also like a 1.0 product. I mean, it's literally the first mixer Roadcast has ever made. So I don't expect perfection right out of the gate. You'll watch my video. There's one little glitchy thing that happens with recording to the internal memory card when you're playing back sound effects. Now, is that matter for voice actors? Probably not. Don't not buy it because of that one thing because it will not affect what most of you guys ever would do. But it's great. I check out the review over there at George the Check on YouTube. This last week, I was in the area at Audio, I was near this tech repair place, service place called Audio Rehab. How do I know about it? I had mountain bike with one of the technicians there. Networking. And he and I geek about this stuff all the time. And so I had a piece of gear that burned out. The power supply went poof while in the booth at a client's house. Oh, not good. Never a good thing when you literally hear a pop and see smoke coming out. The smell's not so great either. No. So I brought it in there and anyway, long story short, I got a nice little tour of the place. So got to look around and one good thing I took away from it. I mean, they do a lot of tech repair on like, they actually are the service center for Avalon stuff. So if you have an Avalon, they're the ones that are gonna repair it. But one cool little sidebar was that Scott, my buddy, he trained at Sennheiser. He actually worked at Sennheiser and he did all the servicing on Sennheiser MKH416 mics. Wow. So he knows that mic literally inside and out. So if you have a 416 that needs to be cleaned or serviced, Audio Rehab in Burbank. Is he like a really skinny guy that he can like crawl in there and... No, he's not skinny. Okay. No, it's not my size. But yeah, no, he knows his stuff and you don't have to ship it off to Connecticut if you're in LA, there's a local shop that knows the mic and can work on it. So that was cool. I also did a little video of that place and it is also on George, that one's on the George the Tech YouTube channel as well. You can go check it out. All right. You can see the inside workings of that place. But it's your typical technician shop. If you've never been in one, check it out. There's gear everywhere. It's like a museum slash warehouse stuff. Hopefully neatly stacked. Not too bad. Okay. I've certainly seen worse. All right. Well, that's good to know. Well, if you're wondering, if this is like the first time you've ever watched this show, one, where have you been? And two, maybe you get the idea that George and I actually know what we're talking about when it comes to home voiceover studios. And some podcasting stuff. And podcasting is everybody's doing podcast. Doesn't mean everybody should be doing podcasting, but yeah, give it a shot. If you got something to say, we can help you out. That's right. But if you need help with your home voiceover studio, if you're like totally intimidated about what it is you're supposed to be doing, talk to the guys that actually know how to do all this stuff. We won't overwhelm you. It's not as hard as it looks, but we at least make it look a lot easier than it actually is. And... Is that a selling point? It is. Okay, good. Well, because it may seem, it's only easy once somebody explains it to you in a way that you can understand. It's easy, when you know how. That's right. And fortunately, you got two guys who've been doing it for, I guess, a combined almost 40 years. Yeah, I would say at least. Which is more than anybody else in this business. And you can contact either one of us and we will help you out. We have various services. Like George, if they go over to your site, which is? GeorgeTheTech.com. You've got a menu. You can check out all the services at our flat rate, stacks, sound checks, things like that. You can also hire me by the half hour or you can bring me to your town. I'm gonna releasing a new product on my website soon that explains how to bring me to your city and get a group buy. Ah, good idea. And get all your buddies together, save a lot of money on travel and time, and get me to come to your city. So stay tuned for that. I should have it up in the next week or two. And Dan, you also provide services similar to mine over at? Homevoiceoverstudio.com. Yep. Yeah, I'm there. I answer your questions. I do consults. If you really need to learn from zero to being fairly competent at this, you can talk to me. I actually have a master's degree in education. I know how to teach this stuff. And I will get you past the intimidation and your technophobia and show you how to set up properly at home. It's not as complicated as you think, but you got to talk to somebody who knows how to do it. And you can reach me over there, homevoiceoverstudio.com. Or if you want me to listen to your audio, maybe you've set up already and you want me to hear what it sounds like and any improvements you might want to make or if you've got a major problem, you can go to my website and there is a specimen collection cup that you can click on. And it is a Dropbox. Send me some raw audio. There's some specific instructions. Yep. I want to read the instructions carefully and submit your audio that way. And I will tell you if it needs some help or hey, you're okay. I had somebody send me some stuff today. Levels were a little low, but other than that, guys doing business. He's working great. And it sounds good. It is good. It is good. All right. We got a ton of questions and we're going to get to your questions right after this. This is Anthony Mendez. You're watching VoiceOver Body Shop. From VoiceOver Essentials, here's the quote of the month. Terry, the sign is terrific. Thanks so much for the quick response. Greatly appreciated. It now adorns my home studio with pride. Thanks to you and one of my heroes, Harlan Hogan, for being there. And again, thanks so much for supporting VOBS and they should have Harlan on more often, don't you think? Well, thanks. Brian Hammond, voiceover of Chemist Washington. So let's talk about our multicolored LED sign and the credit card size included remote. It tells the world you're actually gainfully employed and lets people nearby know to speak softly while you do your big shtick. Well, you can only get them over at voiceoveressentials.com. Voiceoveressentials.com. Go over there. The best way to get there is to just go to the bottom of our homepage, click on the picture of Harlan talking into his Porta Booth Pro and go there. Look for the sign, the voiceover recording sign that will help you record with no background noise from your family and other folks. Thanks again, Harlan. Well, hello there. I bet you weren't expecting to hear some big-voiced announcer guy on your new orientation training for Snapchat, were you? This is Virgin Radio. Well, okay, we're not that innocent. There's jeans for wearing and there's jeans for working.  She's a champion of progressive values, a leader for California, and a voice for America. It's smart. It's a phone. It's a smartphone. But it's so much more. It's a, the files are ready. Don't forget to pick up the eggs. What time is hockey practice? Check out this song. It's the end of the road for Rick. It's just you and me, Rick. When hope is lost. The I-8 from BMW. Who said saving the planet couldn't be stylish? Hey, it's J. Michael Collins.  I think they speak for themselves. But I will give you my email. It's jmichael at jmcvoiceover.com. Now, if Dan will stop waxing his mustache for a minute, we'll get back to the show. Are you a voice actor? Well, you should probably check out this tool from Source Elements called Source Connect. That's right. If you don't have it yet, you ought to go get it. And you don't have to buy it right away. You can just go get a demo. You can go over to source-elements.com, get a 15-day free trial of this software, and get familiar with what this thing does. What does it do? Connects your studio to other studios around the world for live direction, live recording. And this is the way a lot of the top tier work in the voiceover business is being recorded. So one way you can show that you're a pro voice actor, whether you've got a couple years in, 10 or more, is to have Source Connect on your website, have working knowledge of how it works, and better yet, actually have it. So you should definitely have it in your toolbox. You can go get that demo, get it up and running. You don't have to have an iLok USB key. Just have the account set up on iLok and get it rockin'. Go over to source-elements.com and sign up right now and tell them we sent you. And we'll be right back with some tech talk here on VoiceOver Body Shop. Hi, this is Bill Farmer, and you are watching VoiceOver Body Shop. It's great. Okay, we're back with questions from our vast audience that have been accumulating over the last couple of weeks. And so there's a lot of them. So we're gonna try and do a lightning round on these somewhat. All right, starting off with Jeff Holman. He says, hey guys, I live in a house very close to the Van Nuys Airport, which is like right over there. And yeah, I know what that's like. Throughout the house I have installed double-pane windows with differing glass thicknesses, quarter inch and three eighths inch, to attenuate different frequencies resulting in an STC sound transmission class of a rating of 36. In addition, I have eight inches of blown insulation in the attic. My VoiceOver booth is in a small walk-in closet in the center of the house. I put Oralex foam panels on the walls and in the corners and the 10-foot ceilings has that old bumpy 60s acoustic ceiling look to it. At nighttime after 11 p.m. I can achieve a noise floor as good as minus 72. Can't beat that, minus 72 is killer. However, during the day whenever a plane lands at the airport, I hear it. What can I do to further isolate my sound booth? With the use of ceiling clouds as you discussed in yesterday's tech talk, the one we've been playing all last week, be of any help. I know they're designed to focus sound within the room, but might they also create a sound barrier that would reflect outside noises back out? Keep up the great work, guys. Clouds are really for... It's just acoustic. All it does is it absorbs the bouncing around already in your room and keeps it from bouncing around so much. That's what a cloud is. Bouncing around. You're asking, would that keep sound out? Basically, no. What keeps sound out is a few things. Mass, a barrier of mass. So let me start with what you... You're on the right track with at least one thing and that's the glass. Having two pieces of glass, different thicknesses, heavy with an airspace between is a good start. But unfortunately that is just one tiny element to a very big problem. And those noises are penetrating the entire home, not just that one window, right? You've spent all that money on. So you've kind of like, I think of soundproofing as like plugging a dam. Right.  So when you're plugging a hole in the wall, the first thing you think of is a window, right? Sound almost would come through that window.  It's coming into the attic. It's coming into the walls. It's coming in all over the place. An STC of 36, that's even if that was the right value, is not much at all. Like we're looking at a soundproof voiceover studio is gonna have an STC 60 at least 50 to 60, which is you're way far away from that. So it's a system. You gotta have mass, which is heavy, heavy drywall. You have to have an air gap. You have to have insulation. Everything has to be airtight, caulking in all seams. It's quite expensive and costly to do it right. And like the room we're in right now, we don't hear the Van Nuys Airport because the walls in this room are over almost a foot thick. Yeah, well, built a fortress here. Yeah, the inside walls are decoupled and have separate everything from the outside walls. They're not connected to each other. The only time we hear a noise is when there's a really loud helicopter going, landing on the roof. That's it. I hate to tell you, there's a lot more to it than what you've done. Your instincts are right, but you just kind of take a step. Right, and again, I think there's that confusion between sound transmission, rejection, and diffusion and absorption. They are totally different concepts for totally different things. So don't make that mistake. Acoustic foam does nothing to soundproof your room. It's totally about the reflection inside the room. Clouds do not either. That's right, but they work great in here, though. Yeah, acoustically, they're good. Steve Levin says, hi guys, when recording box tracks, what are the industry standard voiceover tracks? What is the industry standard for sample and bit rate if you're providing to an agency or a studio? I understand mono for voice only is standard, but is 128 44.1 kilohertz 16 bit audio. Good enough quality for agency or studio. And do you record at higher rates first and mix down to 128 44.1 16 bit as the final product. And my system is capable of mixing to almost any combo of these settings. PS, I bought the Harlan Hogan VO1A signature mic with metal windscreen and I love it. And I run it through my DBX267 2 channel strip with great results. Boom. All right. Well, but there's a lot of meat in there. Yeah, a lot of questions. So mp3 mono is gonna be a 128. That's the industry standard. Yeah. 24 bit, I think is probably a little bit safer to work with. 16 bits fine. Yeah. And let's not get our bit rates and our bit depth is confused, right? So bit rate is the mp3 128. Right. 16 bit is the bit depth. And that has to do with the recording quality that you initially recorded in Wave or whatever. Yeah. 16 bits, the bare minimum. I tell everybody nowadays, just recording everything in 24 bit. When you export it out as an mp3, you can choose all those other parameters. Right. If nobody says anything, 128, mp3, mono, you're good to go. I mean, that's gonna satisfy just about everybody's needs. Right. If you don't know what it should be, make it that. Right. If they ask for something else. Right. Well, it depends on what is the client specific last for. If he's telling you 48K and 32 bit, Wave, that's what you give them. Yeah. All software is capable of creating any one of those formats from your original recording. Yeah. So that's not a big deal. It only gets in the weeds with telephony, IVR, where the settings get really weird. Yeah. Now, here he talks about the Harlan Hogan VO1, which is a great microphone. You know, it's a good mic. There's one right there that I'm not supposed to tap on. But he runs it through a DBX 676 tube channel strip with great results. Hey, man. You know what? We don't know anything else about your channel strip or your signal chain or what else is in your studio. But it's not something we're going to go recommend. I mean, it's got tubes in it. Tubes fail. Tubes degrade over time. Tubes randomly do weird things. They get microphonic. We're not going to recommend stuff. And there's a lot of stuff that sounds great. Right. And generally most pre-amp, digital pre-amps. Yeah. Gears where it has like an analog front end. I think the 676 has analog in, digital out. Oh, OK. I think it does. Memory serves, I don't know. An interface has got enough pre-amp in it to drive any microphone. Yeah, everything is now. The reason that a lot of people go to some of these higher end pre-amps is because someone who doesn't know what they're talking about either tells them to do that or they're trying to achieve this warm sound. Right. The fact of the matter is, most people are trying to hear you as you exist. And if you want to sound warmer, that's for a very, very specific thing. Not to produce or decide. Yeah, unless they're telling you, can you make that a little bit warmer? I've never been told. Make your audio a little bit warmer. Probably not your voice. Well, no. That's probably never going to happen. Yeah, so I'm not a big fan of that. Chris Smith says, I'm considering replacing Pro Tools with a less expensive editor. Good job. But I've noticed Audacity and Twisted Wave both appear to be destructive editors. If this is true, can you recommend a replacement editor that costs less than Pro Tools? Well, if it's about anything, but... I mean, let's talk about why... What is matters? What is not destructive? Who cares if it's destructive? I mean, if you record a wave file and save it, there's your original. Now go and edit it to your heart's content, and when you're done, save it as a new name. Right. The original audio is there. Okay, I know it's not the same as Pro Tools. I know that in Pro Tools, every single edit is saved in what's called an EDL, edit decision list, which is saved as a Pro Tools file, and all the versions of the wave files are stored, and all the stuff. Who cares if you're just recording a dry voice track and editing it like... For 30 seconds, yeah. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's destructive. Really, it doesn't. But to answer your question more directly, Reaper is by far the best replacement for Pro Tools. It's way less expensive. The guy that writes it's a genius. Is it really geeky under the hood and extremely overwhelming? Yes, but so is Pro Tools. So if you really want a replacement, my first choice would be Reaper. Yeah. And I use Adobe Audition, and that has a... And it has a destructive and non-destructive. So it's even... Right. That's even the best of both worlds. And Twisted Wave 2. Which you can record and it won't destroy what's there. With the punch and roll? No, just when you hit record again, it will not erase that which is in front of it. It will just... Oh, it'll just push it over. Right. That's true. I mean, let's keep it simple. Mark Shilashinau says, Hi guys, can you discuss normalization and compression for the 30,000th time? And recommend when it's appropriate to use either or both. I enjoy your show. Now, I would preface that by saying, if you don't know what it is, don't use it. And why would we use it? First off, compression. Compression is to essentially to simplify it really down, is to make the loud stuff soft and the soft stuff louder. So everything is essentially the same. Less variations of the loud stuff. So it's not as dynamic. Exactly. You want... If you read, write person, you know, in the first place, chances are, you know, if it's not really dynamic, you've probably done it right. It's when, because we don't talk like this, we, what we do is we talk in a very consistent, normal pattern. A lot of people, when you're less experienced, you tend to hit the beginning of the sentence. And the ending.  So compression helps level that out. Normalization is just an adjustment of the volume. It's just a volume control. So it's just what we call a absolute volume control. So when you set what the peak level is, it just sets it and that's it. So if you recorded it at minus 10 and that's the peak was minus 10 and you normalize to minus three, the volume goes up by seven. That's it. It just changes the game by seven. Right. Now I like to use normalization and compression together because what I do is I'll use normalization to set the peak level before compression. That way I only have to set my threshold one time. The threshold is based on the input level. So if I know the input level is peaking at minus three, I can set my compression ratio or actually my threshold accordingly. And I don't have to like reset the threshold every time I record another file or another take. So that's how I use normalization. Yeah. Beyond that. Yeah, Uncle Roy likes to talk about, you use normalization when you finish recording a file and the initial file, making sure that it's at the right level. But only if it's way too low, or if it's way too low, you don't need. It's a tweak. Yeah. It's a half DB gain. It does make up a huge amount of gain, 20 dB later. Right. It's horribly misused to do that. But also after you've done a fair amount of processing even though you shouldn't be doing a fair amount of processing, it's the last thing you should do to make sure that everything is maximum peak. Still leaving that between minus three and zero headroom for an engineer to work with it properly. Yeah. Next question. Ken Stavis has a twisted wave in his iPad. He'd like to mix and master voiceovers in the iPad and he's new to this. Obviously. Yeah. I understand that there are effect stacks that I can get but where and how do I get them and is there training available on how to use them? In an iPad. Yeah. There is no quote unquote stack in twisted wave for the iPad unfortunately. I can make a setting for you in the iPad and then basically what I do is literally screen share and say, okay, here's the settings I used. Go into yours and duplicate them the best you can. But you can't save them as a. There's no preset. It just remembers the last thing you did. And that's it. Not ideal. In terms of mixing. If you want to mix, if you're talking about mixing layers of audio together, not going to do that in twisted wave. No, you don't have to use GarageBand. That's pretty much the only way you're going to do that. There's a few other apps. I think there's a Cubase for iPad now or something. But no, it's not the right tool for that. And when you say I'm new to this, do you mean are you new to voiceover or are you new to producing? What are you new to? Because there's certainly a big learning curve in terms of learning voiceover and learning voiceover production. So focus your energy on your voice acting and your voice work, then start looking into the production side. But talk to Dan or I to get off on the right foot with all this stuff. So you don't waste a lot of money and time in the wrong direction. I think a lot of people think that, oh, well, because I can use all this stuff, I should. And the fact of the matter is is if you don't know how to use it, don't. Record right in the first place. You'll save yourself so much trouble by getting your acoustics right, your mic technique right and setting proper levels initially. It eliminates a lot of those other problems. Don't use software and technology to make you sound great. If you're a good voice actor, you already sound great. The idea is to capture you as you exist sounding great. Right. Darren Sapp. Hey, if you guys done a show, you can direct me to about building my own sound booth. Well, we have. We've done so many variations on booths and all that stuff. And when you say build a sound booth, of course that's kind of like, can you teach me how to build a plane? You know, it's like, what kind of plane? Is it propeller? Is it a balsa wood? Is it powered by an engine? Or a rubber band. It's way too general. But yes, we did do a video about making a sound booth, a very simple budget sound booth. If you go on YouTube and search for eWabs, eWabs, that's our old show, and the word studio suit. So eWabs Essentials Studio Suit, you'll see an episode on there where Dan and I demonstrate a booth that Dan made out of PVC pipe and heavy blankets. We used to have this stuff Dan called Studio Suit. It's just, it's a very heavy insulated material. And we show how to make one. And it, yeah. So this is a few years ago. It's still relevant now. You can build a booth out of PVC and some blankets. Yeah, go to moving blankets.  Not heavier blankets. Not the felt ones. Yeah, heavy, heavy stuff is, you want it to be heavy and dense. Is it going to be soundproof? No, but it will get rid of the bounciness and the echo and reflections in your room. It will reduce some exterior noise.   That's right. It will, it will, it may take you to a point where you can record without too much background noise, but not soundproofing like that question earlier about, you know, how do you build a booth? Yeah, it's like, you know, somebody's asking for the time we're gonna have to build, tell you how to build a watch. It was a part two on that. Yeah. He did get in a little bit more detail, which I apologize for missing that. He does have a closet right now he's using. It takes a lot to set it up each time. And it's cramped. You know, a little creativity in your closet, setting it up correctly with the right combination of stuff. And you'd be amazed. You can actually make it pretty usable. But he's in Texas. Oh, it gets hot there. It gets real hot. And of course, there's dogs everywhere because it's Texas. And you know what? Fixing that stuff is, that's expensive. So a booth made out of blankets or a booth that you can do it yourself building is not gonna stop the barking of dogs without some serious construction. I mean, a lot of work. So talk to us before you delve into that endeavor. And by God, don't buy doll box plans and expect that to make a soundproof booth. It will not do that at all. It's not easy. It's, I think for voiceover, you know, trying to make the closet work, it's a lot simpler. It's cramped, but there are like George said, there are creative ways to do it. I've been building a lot of studio closets lately and they sound great. And the clients are happy because one, a lot of times they don't have to move their clothes out. No, we leave the clothes in there. Yeah, boy, there was one booth I had.  And it's like, oh, let me move my wife's coat over here. Big long fur coat. Fabulous, sounded great. You wouldn't believe that this wasn't a professional, you know, that this wasn't a big professional studio. You got to sacrifice the lives of 30 rodents, at least put them up for use in your voiceover studio. Absolutely. T-Man. Steve has been answering in the chat. Well, okay, Steve, thanks a lot, but... Can you explain bass traps? I have some and tuning a small room for voiceover. So if you were to distill into can't live without room essentials for VO, what are they? So bass traps are, they're basically acoustic panels that are designed to absorb the lower frequency stuff. And in a small room, that is a lot of stuff. Right, you're closer to the microphone, the, you get standing waves at 90 degree angles and stuff like that. That means the corners of the room are very close, you know, the walls, everything's very close in a tiny space. So we need a lot of this stuff to try to counteract that buildup of lower frequencies. In a big room, eight by 10 feet, it's not a big deal or nearly as big a deal because the sound has a lot more room to bounce around and expand and dissipate and it doesn't resonate the same way. Think of a two soda bottles, one half full, one totally full. You blow across the top, the high, the full one goes. You blow across the lower one. It goes, you know, the lower pitch is because there's more air volume. So the bigger the room, the lower the pitch is going to resonate unless you need the bass traps. Which comes to that question of big room versus small room. And a lot of people are buying booths or want to build one. They don't really understand that while soundproof booth might be really good soundproof, it's kind of a relative term. Somewhat quieter booths. Yeah, that you're creating certain problems with that but a larger room might actually make things sound a little bit cleaner. So it's a trade-off, you know. It is, it is a trade-off for sure. Yeah, Larry Oliver says, is it a good idea to have a microphone professionally cleaned? If so, how often? Like in TLM 103s and 416s, I do keep them covered when not in use and they seem to sound great. Just curious if it's a good maintenance type of thing. Also, if one lives in a flyover state, do you send them to an authorized service place or take a chance on a local? Well, let me start with the very last thing. Do not take a chance on a local shop to fix a sensitive condenser. They'll fix it with a wire brush probably. Yeah, do not. If you're gonna get an anointment or a sanitizer repaired, if you don't know where to go, then start with the website, Sennheiser's website for authorized repair. They know it, they do it right. Yeah, otherwise, like you said, tonight we mentioned a shop here in Burbank. You're not in Burbank, I understand that. But so if you're gonna mail it somewhere or ship it somewhere, I mean, get a quote from audio rehab. You know, because they know what they're doing. Certain things and certain services require a higher level of precision is not the word. You have to have a shop that's extremely clean, like a clean room environment. Like they're building a space probe. Yeah, well, there's absolutely no particles of dust or anything in the air. So for certain services, that's what you're gonna be looking at. But to go back to the beginning, should you have them cleaned and how often? How often, I don't know. I mean, five or 10 years maybe. The thing is, you don't know if they sound bad until they start, until they get really bad. That's until they don't sound good. Like if you have a brand new one and then you have a 10 year old mic, you will probably notice the difference between them. You probably will if you hear them back to back. So show how often, oh man, gosh, I don't know. If you have a house that's not air conditioned, the windows are open all year round. Yeah, probably every year. But if it's a pretty clean house with a filtration system, an HVAC system, not a problem. You know, probably not that awful. If you're hanging your mic upside down, usually things don't accumulate on it, except around here and you just go. Yeah, dust doesn't get to sit on a diaphragm when it's hanging vertically probably. Which is one of the reasons you hang it vertically. Yeah. And our final, last question from Michael Kennedy. Thoughts on the Sennheiser MKE600 versus the 416? A worthy mic? What's a worthy mic? I mean, Sennheiser doesn't make anything that's junk, right? Is it gonna sound exactly like the 416? No. Is it gonna sound like a microphone though, picking up your voice? Yeah, is it gonna sound reasonably good?  It's gonna have a little bit more hiss to it. Cause that's what I find with shotgun mics especially, the cheaper ones are much noisier. Right. So that's gonna be a real big difference. Is it worthy? I don't know, it's not a mic that in our circles or at least in my experience has been brought up all that often. I haven't seen it. As an alternative to the 416. I can't tell you, we've tested out one a couple months ago on my show, the Pro Audio Suite called the Rode NTG4. Yeah. And if you're looking for a budget shotgun, that sounds pretty close to a 416. Like, close enough that a producer would have no problem making it work, that one's a pretty good option, around $300. I don't know if any mics that fall under that $300 mark that are gonna sound like a 416, no way. That's the most cost effective one I've seen, but can't see much about the 600, but send a sample, I'll do a sound check or send Dan a specimen. And we'll let you know what we think of the sound if you happen to have that mic, we'll let you know. All right. Well, that's a lot of questions. That was a good lightning round though. We got those out for tech talk number seven here. So, if you got a question, send it to us here at theguysatvobs.tv, and we'll answer it like we just did. Yeah, that was great. Thanks everybody for sending us so many questions. So, if you got more, send them in. That makes this show run.

Welcome to the 100% Shiny Pokemon Hunting Location Guide using Shiny Sandwiches. We'll be going over every single one that's found in the Teal Mask. For this sandwich, all I'm using is one basil and then one salty herbamistica and one sweet herbamistica. If you know any other types of recipes, please throw that down in the comments below. And you should make sure you see Sparkling Power Fire and Encounter Power Fire Level 3 if you successfully have made the sandwich. You can also do this with Level 2 Encounter Power Sandwiches. It just might take a little bit longer. And one more thing before we get started, make sure to go home, go to your settings, go down to System, and then when you scroll all the way down, make sure to go ahead and turn on Zoom. That way, if there's a Pokemon the distance that you don't know the color of, you can double tap home and just zoom in to make sure that it's not a Shiny. Alright, let's get into it. Our first hunt is going to be taking place at the Crystal Pool. And at the Crystal Pool, as you can see, there are a ton of Slugmas that are appearing. And the cool thing about this hunt is all you have to really do is stay away from the water because other Pokemon will start to spawn in and kind of stay towards the edges and you'll start to just see Slugmas. And it's really simple to hunt for this because all you have to do is just rotate around and around the area. Now, the Shiny that you'll be looking for is more of a silver grayish or white color, depending on how you want to really see it. So it's not going to be anywhere close and you won't be able to miss it at all. Now, something you need to be aware of when you're taking your rounds around this lake is that there are also going to be little jump and height points up here where you could have one or two spawn just like that one over there. So keep that in mind on your rotations as you're going around. Now, the reason why you want to focus on this hunt during the day is because it is a solo hunt. At nighttime, you'll start to have Litwicks appear, but then that'll start to become a dual hunt. This is going to be the best location to hunt yourself a Slugma, but just continue to rotate until you find one. Okay, as I was rotating around, well, it started to become nighttime as you can see. There's a Litwick right there, but look at what we got. There it is, the gray Slugma. So I'm just going to go ahead, save my game, always make sure to do that. And there it is. This is why you should subscribe because you get Shinies and it's that easy. This next location is going to be for Volpex and it's going to be really simple. All you have to do is go towards Masui Town and exit out of the east side. This is going to be one of these simple town spawns to make your life very, very easy. So you want to come up to the point where it says the change in name. So Reveller's Road. And as soon as that happens, you'll start to see Volpex spawning in the distance over here. You can just go around and look for it. Now, Volpex Shiny is not going to be that hard to miss. It's just a little bit more yellow. So you can go back and forth when you're going through here. And as soon as you come out here, just give it a second because it does take a little bit of time for them to spawn. But you do get a lot of them spawning to the right side. So that's a really good spot to look. You can also decide to go ahead and look straight forward. But just keep doing that back and forth until you happen to get your Shiny.  So as I'm going up, there you go. You see them just keep spawning. There's nothing else that spawns in this area besides them. Make sure to not go very fast on this road and just take your time going up and down.  So just go nice and slow. Walk around and make sure to spin your camera at a 360 angle and use the zoom in technique if something is far off in the distance. And you need to confirm if it is a Shiny or not. Shiny Volpex on Reveller's Road. Here we go. Yes, there it is. Shiny Volpex. By the way, if you want to increase your Shiny luck, you should probably hit that subscribe button so it goes up and you'll know when the next Shiny Hunting video drops. Let me know which Shiny sandwich Pokemon video you want to see next for the Teal Mask. Now, if you do feel like Shiny Hunting something else with Volpex, you can head over to the Timeless Woods. Not only do you get Volpex here, but you get yourself lit. Wait, is that Shiny? Wait, I just...  No way that just happened. Look at the Shiny luck. Subscribe. Seriously. This is going to help you so much. Like I was saying, this is also a very good spot to go Shiny Hunting. And you can see that the Litwick Shiny is very subtle compared to the regular one. We'll throw that on screen over here and you can get its second evolution. So just make sure to pay attention to the subtle changes and zoom in over there. As you can see in Timeless Forest in the daytime, there are only just Volpex and you don't have to deal with any Litwick. So if you want to solo hunt in the forest, this is also a great spot to go to if you need to change a scenery. The next Pokemon that we're going to be going for is Solandid. And it was previously in the Pau Dea game. This is just another location in Kitakami because the Pokemon do repeat. So there's two spots basically. You want to head over to the area of Infernal Pass. And once you arrive at Infernal Pass, you're going to want to turn around facing towards these growlets. This is the Oni Mountain part. But you can proceed a little further and once Oni Mountain changes its name even further down here and you'll see the transition literally happen right in front of your eyes. Oni's Mall. Okay, we just entered Oni's Mall and look what starts spawning to our left and straight down. Solandids. So there they are.  Otherwise, you're just getting a Solandid for life that is a male. But if that's something you want to collect, you probably should. The big problem with these Solandids are the fact that the reflection on them always makes them look like they're white. So just have to look for something a little more extra white. So double home feature to zoom in if ever in doubt because the reflections and outlines are really weird. Daytime and nighttime don't really make any difference. But pretty much you can just go up and down this entire mountain area. Don't go too fast because they do not spawn in family packs. They're single spawns. You want to just kind of rotate around this area. Let them spawn. Now there's another area that's a little more close in and let me take you over there. You're going to have to head over to the crystal pool area. Now from the crystal pool, you just want to head over into the secret cave area which is going to be wrapping around from the bridge and hopping into this cave. Just like this. Now once you arrive all the way down here, you're not really going to see any Pokémon spawns but you will see a trainer. What you need to do is move away from the trainer just a little bit over here.  Now just keep in mind if it's nighttime, you will have Litwick spawning. So during the daytime is probably the best time to try to hunt these guys, especially in this cave. Now if you go further down, we're going to get a lot more spawning. So let me just drop down. You're going to hit into the water and all the land areas, you're going to see Solandids. A minus this Litwick and they will be spawning around here. If you give it a second, they will take their time to spawn but they will spawn in. If you ever doubt the color of the shiny, just make sure to go send your Pokémon to auto battle it because if it doesn't auto battle it, well, then that means you have a shiny Pokémon. The next Pokémon that we're going to be hunting is going to be Growlithe. Now, the cool part about Growlithe is we're going to be heading over to the Kitakami Hall. So if you got Ogre, Austin unlocked, you get to go right from there. Or if not, you can go from Kitakami Hall and you're going to climb to the top of this area. So right at the border of Kitakami Hall, so I like to call these town spawns, which means you walk in and out of a location to get something to spawn. So when you step right out, just like this, we have the Pokémon spawning in and you can see the Growlithe right ahead over there. And actually, you won't believe this, but it's actually a lot of numbers. Actually, you won't believe it. You're literally looking at the screen. And what we're going to be specifically searching for is a much brighter, more yellow, golden Growlithe. So keep that in mind when you are doing this. So yeah, just make sure to take a look, a double home tap just to make sure that's not as shiny in the background, especially when you're doing town resets and you don't want to leave the area. You could just simply go in like this, watch them all just despawn. And as soon as you come right back out, they are going to respawn in and with the amount showing up and if you have a shiny charm, you're going to have a very good chance of getting a shiny to spawn pretty quick. Also, keep this in mind, there are Growlithe that are laying down, though there might be one in the grass that is laying down. You don't want to miss out on that. So keep going back and forth in this area until you happen to see a shiny. Another great location to hunt Growlithe is going to be the Infernal Pass. Now, as soon as you arrive in the Infernal Pass, you don't want to go up this white mountain, but you want to just go down this way right over here. And as soon as you arrive, you're going to see the amount of Growlithe that just start to spawn. This is going to be Oni Mountain connected right to that area. So if you spend your time around here, you'll start to see there is a good amount of Growlithe that also spawn here. I just take a look around. You can hop on your mount if you want. You can even go up here and you'll start to see these guys. They are everywhere in this area. This is very specific to Growlithe. It's like literally nothing else spawns. You're like, look at the amount over here too. When you drop down, when you circle around the area, just make sure you're staying in the Oni Mountain area and not going anywhere else. So you get bored of the town spawns. This is going to be a great spot for you to try and shiny hunt your Growlithe. Another location that you can go and get Growlithe is going to be the Mosfell Confluence, which is going to basically be right over here at the bottom right of the map. Look how many also spawn in this area. It's very, very exclusive when you have the Fire Encounter Sandwich on. So look at that. If you want to have another environment, this is another great spot. So there's not many Pokemon in the Teal Mask, so it does make it a lot easier when it comes to spawns to hunt down certain Pokemon. So good luck getting your Shiny Growlithe. Now, Houndoors are a really simple one because it was in the last game, but this is a much better hunting spot than the previous game. Just head over to the Inferral Pass, which is located right over here just like where you went for the Growlithe. Now, the difference is you're going up the mountain versus going down over there where the Growlithe are. And it's really cool, actually, this entire area because you can hunt for Growlithe and when you're done, you can just move up the mountain and start going for Houndoors. Anyway, you're going to be looking for a much more blue-colored Houndor just like this on the screen over here. And that's going to be your indicator for finding a Shiny. Now, again, because some of these don't spawn in groups, they're solo spawns, you want to not run through it. If it was completely just a bunch of groups, you can go really fast because that is the spawn rule for how we Shiny hunt. If you run really fast, solo spawns will not spawn properly, but if there are group spawns, which there are on this mountain, they will immediately spawn. So it depends if you want to sacrifice some solo ones and run fast. So pretty much your goal is to go all the way up the mountain and there you go, there is an entire pack spawn. Your goal is to completely go up this mountain until you start to see Slug Muzz. If you see Slug Muzz, you are then reaching the point of going too far up this mountain and it's time to turn back and rotate and go back and spawn in those other Houndoors. I'm just going up here and right about here on your map is where the cutoff is. So you can hunt this entire area all the way down up until here. So Inferno Pass, just go up and down until you get yourself a Shiny Houndor. Now there's another spot to hunt the Houndoors and it's going to be these ledges on the side over here. So what you want to do is pretty much I would say just hop down the ledge. I just want to find these little ledges here on Oni Mountain just like this. And when you pop down over here, so this is the one where I am right over here. So it's right to the left of that. You're going to see family spawns and you can also see Houndooms, which is going to be really cool because it's not really solo spawns anymore. So big groups of them spawn in and you can probably run a lot faster, reset them so you can probably back up here, go back and you get a whole another group spawning in again. So that's really cool. Family spawns are something that makes Shiny Hunting a lot easier. Not only do you have to just stay in that location, but you can just continue going down. I just gave you another option of what you can do. There's another family group, but definitely if you want to go for a single spawns, you can be up there and then we go over here. There's another family spawn, a couple of single ones here. Here's another family spawn. So really cool spot if you want to just quickly do that up here. The final spot that you can hunt Houndooms in is going to be the Paradise Barrens. As soon as you get here, you also will realize this is a great spot to hunt. It is a lot of single spawns. So keep that in mind. A lot of solo spawns. You'll get sometimes a family here and there, but this is also another good option to go and hunt. So feel free to just walk around this area, despawn them out. It's just there everywhere here. This entire area is filled with them. So good luck getting your Houndoom and evolving it into Houndoom. Now that you've got all your shiny fire type Pokemon in the Teal Mask, you should check out this video over here.


So, Medline is the primary resource for biomedical data whereas there are other databases also or resources also which are like academic one file, SNAHL, Cumulated Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, we have Psychinfo and we also have Web of Knowledge. So, we can also have the, we can have medical data from these databases also in addition to Medline. Academic one file lists articles from journals covering broad range of other subjects but as I said earlier you can also have medical data. Though its primary focus is not on medical data. Here is the SNAHL database. So, you can also have basically its Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. So, mainly you can have the health literature from this database. Psychinfo actually is under working under the American Psychological Association, APA. Same that also has text, the literature referencing styles. So, you might have known about APA or heard of APA before that. So, Psychinfo searches the psychological literature while it does not primarily focus on the medical data but it also has medical articles related to medical literatures. Here is the page for American Psychological Association. You can see Psychinfo journal and its different coverage lists. Web of Science is another major source for articles in same way. Mainly it is for social sciences and humanities also and it is an excellent place where you can find the journals which may not be present in Medline. So, in the end we conclude that informatics in the health care is also called as health informatics and medical databases they deal with the acquisition and storage and retrieval of the medical data.
