For this in-person podcast at Bo's Kitchen, I'm joined by my former co-worker, Al Bonilla, and a former contractor, Mark Savage, who worked with Al on me on a very large two-year project. The main purpose of this podcast (other than having lunch with friends) was to test using a NAKVMN USB-C Desktop Conference Microphone to record an in-person three-person podcast since my wireless lav mics are limited to recording two people. The conference mic was plugged directly into an iPhone 15 Pro Max using the Just Press Record app. I used Adobe Podcast Enhance set at 27% enhancement to clean up the sound a bit while leaving some of the background restaurant ambient noise. The enhanced audio was run through Audacity to increase the volume - since Adobe Podcast Enhance reduces the volume while cleaning up the audio.
In this podcast, we discuss:
- Mark Savage travel tech
- Todd's top 2024 gadgets: Insta360 X4 camera, Surface Pro 11 Copilot + PC (despite compatibility issues), M4 iPad Pro 11, USB-C docks with status displays and vertical orientation
- AR glasses to replace computer display
- Rayban Meta Smartglasses that Steve Hughes used in podcast 522
- EVs & PVs
