The first will never change. They're to nervous and unless you have time to work with them ahead it will always be that way.now if we could only teach the best man to not hold the mic a mile and a half away from his mouth when he gives the toast...
and not to stand directly in front of the speakers...
:sqerr:
I could do the same with my JBL's to a certain point but we're not talking about us using the mics. I'll try it but people don't hold the mic at the bottom half. For average use with most people 6" away from the L1 center, and no feedback. I don't know the technical reasons, all I know is since I've had my L1's I've all but eliminated feedback from people standing directly in front of the L1 while facing it or facing the mic directly at the speaker.
OK, here we go.
Were are you from now? How long have you been there? Is your business located in Maine? Is Maine your market? Simple questions, simple answers, no need to elaborate.
Boy, did you speak on how to spin something into what it isn't? That's the best BS I've heard in a long time.Ron,
I'm not "pumping myself up" in front of everyone. No, this thread isn't about me. It happens to be about learning from a good friend of mine who lives in Maine, Dave Winsor. The only reason I responded was because you complained about no one from New England being represented...I even spoke of Maine when I presented last Monday. I'm very proud of my New England heritage, as I'm sure you can understand being from that part of the country yourself.
Now, no my business isn't there. Yes, it's been a while since I lived there but do a demographics comparison and see. Escanaba (where I currently operate out of) is 14,000 people. The county that I primarily operate in is 38,000 people. The city of Bangor Maine that I would operate in if I was there is only 31,000 people...not that far off. I've lived here in the Upper Peninsula now for six years and have grown my business substantially in that time.
Not sure why you are getting all upset over this. The purpose of this thread is about learning from Dave Winsor on microphone technique. I would welcome the opportunity Dave. Thanks.
Care to share where in this thread I stated this? And to specifically where were they not being represented?
Are you f@#$ing kidding me? Is this a race thing? You're not a Native American are you? Do I have to start referring to you as a Maniac American? Someone get out the boots please. You use to be from here a long time ago. We don't know when or how long but you, in no way, represent New England nor have any idea how we operate. I don't even have a clear understanding how people operate in Maine and I have lived in MA my entire life.
How long has it been? How long did you live there? Numbers would help.
And Milford is approximately 30,000. You want to compare yourself to my area also? Oh wait a minute. You're from Escanaba Michigan. Michigan begins with the letter M. Maine also begins with the letter M. Now I see the comparison. What was I thinking.
Mitch, who's getting upset? Who's getting defensive? Why did you feel the need to respond to me in this thread? Because a week ago I offered my opinion of the stale old road show bit that Randy Bartlett has been passing off as education? Since I've agreed that what Dave Windsor has offered, the idea for a real educational program, my response to him has been positive. I told him point blank, if it's anything like the vaudeville act that I've seen once to many times then I personally wouldn't be interested. But Dave has assured us, and I have no reason not to believe him, this would be a truly educational program. And I welcome it. And best of all he wouldn't be selling a monthly newsletter that hasn't been produced in over two years. Or a DVD of the same old same old. And since it's coming from a New Englander who knows how most of New England (not Michigan) operates, I would look forward to it.
You asked questions so I'll answer but I think you need to let this go.
Who's Mike Skills? Do I know him?
Sorry Scott, I had to.
Bill,
