The MousePod - MousePod #22 - the long-awaited Dumbo show

mousepod · 01-24-2007, 10:19 AM

I actually use an iRiver (a different model, though), for all of my street recording. In fact, I even put an external mic on it for the Dumbo recording, and iSm was holding it directly to his mouth (I'm pretty sure you can hear him say, "I'll hold it" a couple of seconds into the recording. Sorry kids, he was referring to the microphone). The big problem with that recording was the wind. I'm sure there's a setting on the iRiver to dampen that sound, but that would have required us to repeat the ride - and iSm's spontaneous narration was just too good to try and replicate.

Great show. I always ask myself, "how can he talk about this for over an hour?", and by the end of the show, I can't believe an hour went by. You have a real talent. Visible MP mojo.

How about one of those silly looking (but functional) microphone covers to deal with wind gusts then?

I'm going to have to listen again, more closely. Regardless, I totally enjoyed the podcast.

I thought he was referring to Dumbo's trunk.

Or perhaps the little control lever that makes him go up and down...or "Dumbo's Clitoris" as I like to call it.
