Swapmoto interviews

Edited Date/Time 4/2/2021 4:16pm
Can someone please help this guy out with his audio? Can’t hear a word he’s saying when he asks questions. He’s been doing this long enough, and asks great questions. You’d think he’d figure out a decent mic setup by now.

I listened to my first one the other night. All I could hear was “beep, beep, beep, beep” sounded like construction equipment backing up. It was awful.

I think Ride Engineering makes microphone stands
Let's hope they've finished up drilling the holes!

Don is too busy trolling people on social media to be bothered with unimportant stuff like this.

Precisely what you've written, BW .

It's about the dreadful audio when it comes to His audio. Most of the time I can't hear his questions. And, doing the 'Volume up and down' thing is difficult unless you are plonked in front of a 'puter, device or in a car with controls on the steering wheel. I'm always in the workshop, doing things.

Hearing the questions / points put forward by the interviewer is an important part of Pod Casts ( as against twits that make themselves the 'important thing'....... or at least a few think they are).

As ButteryWaffles wrote, he's been doing this for a while now, you'd think he'd catch onto this failing.

It's Not about being a 'Hater' of Swap, and / or a Pulpster.

It's about wanting hear things clearly, in a predominantly Audio medium. It seems a bit pointless if you can't hear Swaps questions, if only for context.

A lot of time Anton's volume is super low compared to the rest of the guys on their kickstart podcast which is frustrating when driving. It does seem to have gotten better but they still have a lot of issues of different levels for different people.

Tips and tricks.

Hold the mic by your mouth when asking the question and hold the mic by their mouth when the answer is being given.

Don’t do interviews by the entrance to the track, the starting line, or by the take off of a jump. i.e. where loud background noise happens

Situational awareness should be in every journalists “tool kit”

Wasn’t the TXMX website also a train wreck? Way back when?

Pulp or no Pulp, dude unfortunately showed hes a bit of a immature prick.

Only Rutledge has done a better job appearing as a Douche on Pulp and Donn made the podium in the number 2 spot.

Maybe Don isn't a "know it all" but he sure comes across it on his hour long mountain bike vlogs. I mean, the POV MTB thing was cool and all a few years ago but man, show some moto stuff.

Wonder if there would ever have been Pit Bits if not for the Monday Kickstart., which I really missed when TWMX went south.
Now we have both and I'm a happy man.

I think Donn wrote up the first Kickstart. I did it for about three years after that.

I'll pass the word along. Understand your complaints as a viewer, can't disagree at all.

He'd prob have more enthusiasm interviewing guys about road biking. It seems like the creativity and passion is gone. I've watched several long form interviews by him and it's like he doesn't want to be there but feels like he has to cus he knows no other option or can't let his ego die and move on. Just my .02 which is worth nothing, but the more media the better IMO.

That tool from ride engineer ring was butt hurt and had zero personality about the whole thing. Look at all of you pulp nation asslickers hating on a guy that has done such a great job in the industry for so many years. It’s a snapshot of today. You have to hate one guy and love another guy. No such thing as just supporting your overall passion for a sport and be happy that people are contributing to the growth of it. Typical vital wanker city here.
