World: r3wp

Especially as lunch includes free wine and coffee :-)

well it's supposed to be a quick lunch

Try not to look like rebels out on the streets.

but... yeah... you might be right

Right, 2 hours is a quick lunch in France...

i was just citing the schedule

quoting

: )

we're off schedule anyway...

btw reichart - you're not sleeping at all today?

I only sleep 4 hours per day

I got a few hours of sleep earlier....so I'm up for the next 20 hours 
or so.

Free wine?!?  Don't let Carl near it, he will start comparing it 
to his own Vineyards...and it will be a 3-4 hour lunch!

i have to show this one to Carl ;)

and they'll all be drunk, which won't look good on the live stream

Some how I think this group can handle a lot of wine...

We're closed for lunch now.

Back in a Parisian hour for Carl speaking on: "The Motivation for 
R3"

looking forward to it!

Wow, that clapping was LOUD!

OK, so I can finally play some of Iron Maiden songs here .... uaaaa 
...!

Have them turn the video camera towards the room (people)

Should I be waiting, or am I being skipped?  I'm good either way....

I think that you are skipped. Hmm, so maybe after lunch?

Actually I might be back on in 1 hour.

would it be possible to pipe skype audio to the stream?

That should be interesting.

I do plan to use the list I posted for my session as my lead points 
for my talk.

<slam!>

slam?

just relaying the sound of the door...

Ah.........yes.

The mic in there can get hot.

temperature-wise ? you mean it becomes more sensitive with heat ?

Sorry, no, a "hot mic" is a mic that swings with volume level...so 
when there are sharp increases in sound, it clips.

ahh

A good trick is to put foam over the mic.

first post is one on a hot mic.

obviously there must be a solution to this problem already, but I'm 
just thinking two mics, one soft, one loud, and a "compressor" box 
that selects the loudest signal which does not clip.

How would foam help ? Are "loud" sounds typically biased towards 
the parts of the spectrum foam blocks effectively ?

YEs.  Foam knocks of the high freqs

I thought foam would only help against wind, popping sounds, etc.

Also cuts down on pink noise and static.

oh, that wouldn't work on my headset. would get hair in my mouth.

Actually, up until a few years ago (when mics got a lot better) they 
used to have foam covers.

So you still get a good effect with a new mic ? Do you think the 
devcon mic is a new one or old one ?

New mic in France

It is pretty good given teh room (which is all walls and windows, 
not much to absorb sound)
