I'm very happy to see you guys again !! suggestion, try to get some microphones. the audio sounds little bit echoing. Again love to see you projects !!!
@EVWest

Hey, thanks for the feedback. We have some good mics from doing the show previously, but have decided that in order to be able to film and post on a weekly basis we'd have to cut some corners. One of those was multi-track editing. We hope we can get it a bit better without going to a wireless setup, but we're hoping an easier setup will mean continuous videos. Perhaps the solution is insulating the shop better? Another video coming next Thursday.

@@EVWest it depends what kind of cameras are you using. Does it have a mic input? You can use 1 or 2 wireless mic's, and hardware mixer.

EV West I understand your situation, you’re trying to get work done and putting Mike’s on and then taking them off all day long makes it impossible to get anything done. I think the solution is a compromise, the camera operator could use a shotgun microphone, they are highly directional you point them at the person talking and you can hear them clearly.
