  1. Well, yeah. But every country has a freak food, sort of. Sweden's got one too, Surströmming, which is basically the same as rakfisk; fermented fish. Anyways, lunches in Norway are generally sandwiches. YMMV. I hope you get real food and that I'm wrong. We Swedes and Norwegians tend to tease eachother. It's all friendly and we're both stupid. About cold: In my experience, cold weather is harder on you than your equipment. I've never had an electronic device die from cold. On the other hand: booms and their collars, cables, tape, PEOPLE get cold and grumpy and hard to work with, so just brace yourself. Layer your clothing. And you can't overdress. I'm serious. For cold winds, the only real thing that works is newspaper under your jacket. Old school but works.
  2. Food in Norway can be upsetting. Just saying.
  3. But it's a weird crossover. Is it a podcast or a TV show? Do they want to be able to act as both? Hm
  4. Hi! My daughter is trying to get into music school, and she was tasked with bringing a karaoke version of a song to perform with. There was none to be found, so I tried Croonify. Worked pretty much flawlessly, even though the song is in Swedish. Tempo with the lyrics were a bit off but that's moot anyway since she won't be looking at that. VERY COOL! We were all in total awe in the family when the video was done. Very surprised to see the Like counter was at like 60 something!? This is an awesome thing.
  5. OK but here's a weird one. This is actually a TV show that use LDCs for its primary sound, so it's basically a good looking video podcast, with actual camera operators and such, not like a Joe Rogan type deal. It's a Swedish show. I just think it's weird that they choose to have the mics like that. It's almost uncanny valley. I mean I like the sound of it, it sounds great, but there's a big disconnect with what I'm used to seeing as a TV viewer.
  6. But what about EVERY SINGLE LATE NIGHT SHOW (excuse me, not every single one obviously, but very many) with an LDC mic just sitting on a desk like it's doing something!? Maybe I'm just ignorant, maybe they're there for some reason, but I can't see what that would be other than aesthetics.
  7. Hey, in a sense it already is. Even if you're the one telling the AI to do the work.
  8. But when a friend is German you really need to have all your ducks in a row! 🤪 Joking aside, yeah the lav is showing. Feels good to know that even on high stakes shows, these little “mistakes” come up.
  9. Sad to hear it doesn't work well in Reaper. The Goyo worked perfectly, I haven't paid for Clear yet but then it sounds like maybe I should wait...
  10. Great video! And sorry to hijack the thread, BUT: As a swede, I feel I have to mention this is in fact in danish (which to be honest is veeery similar to swedish, but I couldn't stand thinking people thought this was swedish, and I would imagine if any danes saw this they'd be equally aghast)
  11. Swedish radio is using Glensound for our "OB-backpacks" (essentially a giant cellphone with a Glensound MINI CUB-preamp for the mic and return signal). Sounds fine.
  12. I know, it’s a synth, right. But man… the sounds in this are just unbelievable. For sort of synth nerds: it’s basically a two sine wave oscillator synth, with sort of FM and feedback shenanigans.
  13. Well, anywhere on the body of a soccer player is potentially a bad spot to put a transmitter. I think the "safest" place would be high up on the inside of the thighs or possibly in the armpit. But, uncomfortable, sure. I mean players regularly take the ball on the chest, they take hits on the back, hits everywhere since no part of the body (except front calves? shins?) is protected by anything. In American Football (as we Europeans say) or Ice Hockey you could stow away a tx under the protective gear, but in soccer it's just.. well, no such thing. Taking a ball with the chest, where a transmitter would be, sounds hurtful. So does taking a fall in high speed with the TX on the back.. Thighs or armpits, I'd say is where it'd be least prone to potential damage or be the least uncomfortable. But it'd still be uncomfortable.
