    Ep #81 - Exclusive Minds - New DJI MIc2 Learning Curve comes with a cost - Poor Audio, Switzerland Trip, Musings on Sports, Tech, and more

    Exclusive Minds Podcast As always if you like what you hear please follow, review and share with your friends. Please leave a 5 Star review!!! We need all the help we can get building the fanbase. Ep #81 - Exclusive Minds - New DJI MIc2 Learning Curve, Poor Audio, Switzerland Trip, Musings Audio Only Alert: This episode was recorded with our new DJI Mic2 set up unfortunately it was recorded in Mono, not Stereo and has resulted in poor audio quality, echo and reverb. Posting with some slight correction so its passable but if we can figure out how to fix, will repost but did want to at least get the content out since we record more infrequently these days and re-recording this would be another week at least and the flow surely would change by then. So this all said, call this a learning curve episode that suffers and if you make it through our sincere thanks. Good news is next episode recording will be corrected. On this episode : (0:00) Intro Going to skip the time cuts because I honestly doubt most will make it through this with the poor audio Topics discussed wo time markers in order DJI MIc2 (Audio) recording and our high hopes for it in the future Video challenges and decision to kill 360 videos. There is a reason no one does it and we just were slow on the uptake and didn't catch on. Joe and Noah's Switzerland Trip Musings on everything from Sports, Streaming, UFC vs Boxing, What Tech has us excited Again, apologies for the poor audio. Better quality coming. Promise!
