We've been busy shooting video, but recording audio has really held us up. We don't have a soundproof studio or editing room and the constant thunder, and rain has reallly cut into our shooting and editing time. The noise is just a constant and no way to stop it. ______________ If you enjoy our content, please consider supporting our channel: Support Link -- https://www.buymeacoffee.com/texpat ---------------------- Check out my other YouTube videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/texpatOTG I am happy to discuss SE Asia with you by email.

Doing anything in Vietnam that involves the governmentor is regulated by the government is a daunting task. Getting your papers to teach, getting a drivers license, trying to open a bank account is a challenge.

It's always great to have a new batch of kittens. But sometimes it gets out of hand. We have begun the process of having all the farm cats neutered. We should have all done by August. In the meantime we are enjoying the kittens and the big cats. These new ones are the siblings of our 3 indoor cats.

Vietnam is getting quite a reputation for its visa policies and other rules that are bad for foreign workers. Everything has gotten harder. Visas, TRC's, banking ... all harder. If they don't wan't us there, why not just say so and only have tourist visas.

Audio for us seems more difficult than video. At least you can see video Audio on the other hand is much more subjective. It seems everyone has a different perception of how their audio should sound. YouTube doesn't demand audiophile quality, but it also shouldn't be so bad people want to turn off your video. I think we have improved our audio over the last 4-1/2 years, but also think we could do better. Hope we can get some suggestions from our viewers ...

The channels that feature video, photograph, audio and lighting knowledge about gear and techniques are my favorite.I only started shooting video about 4-1/2 years ago, and learned fast that digital video was not nearly the same as shooting film. When it came to choosing equipment and adapting to things like recording separate audio -- you need to listen to experts like the All Starts in this video.

We are always told we are a free country, a democracy, but are we really?.Don't think for a minute the USA is controlled by secret organizations of wealthy oligarchs or the Masons. These just don't prove out. The real power is in numbers and the "deep state" and/or the bureaucracy have those numbers and the power.

Using for 4K to shoot videos that will be used to produce 1080p YouTube content has advantages. You can reframe your video, zoom, pan without any loss of quality.

Lately I've been using a lavalier mic - the Aputure A.Lav recorded into a Tascam DR100 Mk III for my voice overs. I've been curious if this dynamic mic I use for interviews could double as my voice-over mic. Do you think it's up to the job? I am reworking my little studio area and really need to get a nice boom arm and mic for my editing desk. Would be very interested in what you think.

There we were a 5 min walk to a huge supermarket, and stores, coffee shops and restaurants were everywhere. Here you have to plan your days and your transportation arrangements. There are no Grab or Gojek cars in our area. You are pretty much limited to motorcycle trikes and jeepneys. But it is nice living in the countryside -- very quiet and we really love the animals --- its different for sure but a nice lifestyle change. ______________ Check out my other YouTube videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/texpatOTG I am happy to discuss SE Asia with you by email.
