When I podcast or record voiceovers I use a Shure SM7B microphone into a Focusrite 18i8, but recently I wanted to get more gain and processing on it before going into Adobe Audition.

In this video review I'm going to walk through what cables you need to use it, what each of the dials on it do, what I set all of them to, and any pro's and con's of this unit.

Should You Go to VidCon?

I just went to VidCon 2015, a conference for YouTubers, Viners, and other web video creators. During last week's podcast episode I talked about the panels I went to, shared some future directions I see online video going, and ranted about selfies, Vine, and Snapchat.

But in today's video I share more of my experience at VidCon and try to help you decide whether you should go in the future. 

I'll also help answer most of the following questions: What level of ticket should I get? What other conferences are there for video makers? How are there so many screaming tweens?

What I Learned at VidCon 2015
What I Learned at VidCon 2015

Conferences are a great way to connect with like-minded people and I wouldn't be where I am today professionally if I hadn't have attended a bunch of conferences over the past few years.

In this podcast episode I give a rundown of the panels I went to, share what some of the biggest YouTubers struggle with, and rant about why building an audience on a short-form video platform like Vine or Snapchat might not be what you really want to do.
