Thank you! Incredible demonstration of the "varying" degrees of mic placement. Just what the doctor ordered. I appreciate this, very well done!

PS 2 : oh and also Fab describes really bad the proximity effect and other onomatopoeias like "krkrkrr" but neither do I ! xD

I saw that this video was 17min long and thought "Oh boy, here we go" but it actually flew away very quickly...
The video is engaging, well-presented and easy to follow!
