On the Mic

As promised, here's the graph from my lactate testing done in Boulder, Co. Click on it or HERE to view full size.

Ok, on with the show. I was testing out several different mic setups during a bike ride and decided to record a show along the way. You can listen to it HERE. There is lots of wind noise through most of the show, but it is tolerable and you can still hear me clearly through it. I would never record a normal show riding into the wind like I did, so it actually wasn't that smart of an idea. Endure that, and you will eventually make it to some very clear audio bits and a nice segment about me meditating with a Zen dude towards the end. Show notes are as follows:

• Using different mic modes. Need feedback (comment on blog about best setup, please!)


• I go into stealth mode because I don't feel like racing dogs.


• Cold ride, but not too cold with nice gear.


• Switching from stereo conference mode to stereo dictation mode.


• Waving at farmers.


• It's too windy!


• Silverman Triathlon relay prize is good for the sport. Go Tyler!


• Yelling for echos under a bridge.


• More cyling exposure on TV leads to fewer car-vs.-bike accidents.


• Voicemails from Jetpack and Rambonie at NYC Marathon.


• Armwarmers are tri-geek cool.


• Voicemail from two stoners.


• Pit bull story.


• Cell phone cut off due to non-payment. Hope I don't need it!


• I'm a furry triathlete.


• Voicemail from Brian in New Hampshire about my leg/foot.


• Newsflash! I might die someday! I'd rather know than not know, you know?


• I almost broadside a Toyota FJ Cruiser.


• Contest for free testing at Multisport Labratory at Trivantage.


• Cajuns are crazy. (duh)


• Symptoms of caffeine sensitivity.


• Toenail's about to come off.


• Bikelanes can be used for evil!


• Horses can have microwaves in their butts.


• I've got poison ivy in my "swimsuit area".


• How to steal and use honey.


• I go to a meditation class and learn that hot pregnant chicks and dudes in Zen robes are very distracting.


• Meditation helps with triathlon training.


• Bonus audio.

all the mics sounded the same to me. granted I was listening while zooming through traffic on a bicyle......but still amazed at your setup and how good it sounds

It would be cool to see The Professor do the testing that you talked about putting up a contest for. We could watch his progress through the year if he plans to train for an event.
Was there any wind when you rode? If there wasn't then it would sound like there is wind regardless of the direction you ride. I don't seem to hear alot of difference in the different mikes and set ups that you use. They all seem to be acceptable.
