Thanks AG for the live streaming today. Mike you did a great job, everyone seemed very comfortable with the Flex PE 14. Dwayne did a good job explaining and showing everyone how to use the extractor. Can't wait till tomorrow to see part 2.

:buffing:
 
Great Job on the 101 class Mike,Dwayne,Yancy and ALL other AG Staff behind the scenes.
I enjoyed this Saturday watching the "Live Feed" and will be tuning in tomorrow as well. :buffing:
 
Thanks for the learning opportunity. Learned a couple of things that I could be doing better and more so I feel a new order on its way. I can see one new Flex on its way to me.
 
Mike, I always knew from the forums that you were a stand up guy, but in getting to see you on a live stream, you rock - seriously.

This morning they kept your audio on when people were asking questions on the side, but then started muting in the afternoon. Tomorrow I would like them to keep the audio on the entire time if possible.

Also during the class section when the audio is only coming from Mike, could you repeat the questions that are asked before answering them so the at-home audience can hear both sides?

Amazing job, you have expanded my knowledge 10x.:urtheman::urtheman:
 
Thanks AG this was great. I've been wanting to attend one of Mike's classes ever since he started giving them in Cal. Mike I can absolutly say that you have come a long way since the DVD that you and Richard did a few years ago. This is what you've been working for all your life, now you ARE the man.Im the MANIm the MAN:buffing:Im the MAN
 
Glad to see you're all appreciating the value of classes like this. You can only obtain so much knowledge on a discussion forum. Getting hands on experience from a someone like Mike is almost invaluable to me.
 
I watched it until 11 when I had to drive back to Raleigh. I guess I missed a lot..is there going to be some reruns?
 
This was great AG!!! Great quality feed, video and audio.

Really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. It's nice to see Mikes articles come to life in a real world situation.

Looking forward to tomorrow.
 
Dang it! I forgot all about this! Hopefully it will be available later?
 
The 102 feed was great. Looking forward to 102 tomorrow. Glad it's not Super Bowl Sunday. :xyxthumbs:

The Griots DA is loud as hell compared to the Flex Ratary

The Flex PE is even quieter in person. I think its sound is a frequency that microphones are very sensitive to. We were all talking in normal levels with it going.
 
Well thanks for all your comments about the feed today. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time! Look forward to bringing you another fun feed tomorrow. It's things like this that making working here exciting and having a boss like Max, who makes it possible to do things like this greatly helps! We always are looking at new ways to bring the best kind of information to you.

We are always learning and looking for ways to improve. The comments and suggestions that you all have posted greatly help us give you what you want. Now let me answer a few questions and comments that were posted here.

I know it may have seemed like we had an audio failure during the breaks but actually we cut the audio on all the mics in the room. This was because of setting up for different shots, swapping batteries on the wireless mics and of course hosts. I will see about leaving the audio on during the breaks tomorrow in the classroom so that way you all can hear the tips and tricks that people share.

I'll make sure that the questions are repeated so that way you all can hear the whole story. LOL!

Like is said before we are striving for the best quality product and ways to improve.

With that said I am signing off for the night and will see you all tomorrow during the feed.
 
:iagree: yet another reason AG is the best company I do business with.

I even set an alarm for a Sunday mornig so I can join back in. And I thought my wallet was the only thing vulnerable to AG ...
