hey what is up guys I'm KB HD here and welcome to update 9.0 it's been nearly a year since I did my last numbered update video as you may remember that was update 8.0 in August 2012 but without any further ado this is update 9.0 now you might have noticed a short gap between this video and my last video and that amount of time was basically filled with me going through a sort of a cleaning and overhaul sort of behind the scenes process so I was going over the efficiency of the way I make videos I felt like goes a little bit inefficient before now I've added a couple of tools to help me make that much smoother workflow and that's basically what I've been doing for those past couple days I also made some behind the scenes changes in terms of like studying what sort of style video I want to keep doing I love the style that I've been working on I've been working towards a certain look of the way I do video but I've also been watching some other people's videos that happen to be excellent and a whole bunch of different stylized things so that basically involved a whole bunch of watching YouTube videos Vimeo videos and downloading a whole bunch of different effects and animations and transitions and things like that to help me get an idea of what I want videos to look like but that's what I've been doing for the past couple of days but now that I'm back now that I'm back in full force I figured I would pull for some fa Q's some frequently asked questions so without any further ado these are the most frequently asked questions that have showed up in the past couple of years actually in the mkbhd inbox lot of these were recently pulled from Twitter I asked you guys at mkbhd on Twitter what questions you guys had to ask me and so that's where my notes are here on my phone so I'm going to be reading them and I guess my answers to you just write off with the top of my chest so the first one is what's the set up behind you like and am I still using the hackintosh Pro yeah so the set up behind me gets probably the most questions out of anything and I do hope to do a 2013 set up tour project similar to the compilation I did in 2012 but in terms of just what's always behind me in my videos I do still use the 30-inch dell ultrasharp monitor with the portrait 20-inch beside it and it is still flanked by those red and black Ikey audio m5o 5v2 studio monitors and yes the hackintosh pro is still running the show so that is what's going to be my editing machine and it has since I finished the hackintosh pro project video series now the Mac Pro is coming out very soon the new 2013 little trash can look in Darth Vader Mac Pro and so that will have the opportunity to run the show will get a full fair shot and see how it goes but until then and as of right now it's the 2013 hackintosh Pro what am i currently studying and why I'm currently studying business and technology am a junior in college this upcoming year 19 years old I'm studying business and technology that's my major I'm also studying a little bit of marketing a little bit of Information Systems and why that just because that's what I'm interested in that's what I like to study and this is probably the first year my third year in college that I really get to pick the exact courses to be specifically what I'm interested in so I get to really fine-tune what I learn about this year and that's that's definitely good so I'm studying it because that's just what I like what camera and equipment do you use I actually get this question a lot probably more than any other of the questions that I get so I actually took the liberty of putting together a list on Amazon I'll have it as the first link below the like button of all the basically the core of the video equipment that I use to shoot and actually edit my videos so the software and the hardware that goes into the production so that's the camera the lens microphone all that kind of stuff that'll be the first link below but basically I've been using the Canon 5d Mark 3 for a little bit now and it's become easily the favorite tool in my bag but I have some other updates about that to show you very soon so I'll be sharing that with you also why don't you use iPhones or do reviews of them well I just happen to have been using Android for a very long time now but about that it's funny I did try the iPhone 5 for a little while and you can probably ask tle today to vouch for that because I bought his iPhone but I I don't really use iOS for the same reason I don't use Windows Phone much and that's just because I don't find the same level of customization I tend to like to make my phone my own and that's why I did the what's on my Android series but yeah there's not the same level of customization on Windows Phone or Blackberry or iOS you tend to look at those home screens and they all look the same but that being said I am giving it its fair shot I do have some Windows Phone flagships in the house so that will be very soon in the Revue series and also I definitely plan on giving iOS 7 a full hands-on we'll see what the next iPhone is like I'm not that excited about it because I know it'll be very similar to the iPhone 5 but that's the answer to your question why don't you game yeah well I rarely gain that's a good question because I don't really ever review anything gaming related because I'm not a big gamer but when I do game it's racing games it's driving games driving simulators racing simulators Need for Speed Forza that type of thing that's the only way I've ever enjoyed gaming really and now I don't actually own any gaming consoles I have a TV that I've played games on but it's connected to a computer not a gaming console so if you guys want to suggest ps4 or Xbox one for me as someone who has never really played a lot of console games let me know in the comments section below I can already see a war starting out but I honestly I just play racing games that's basically it that's what I find fun what's a great 1080p camera for starting out on YouTube my personal favorite recommendation is the Canon ELPH 300 HS it's a compact camera so it's a point shoot and it takes great stills but it's also very affordable very well built takes 1080p video and takes quality video so it's a good stuff it has a wide angle lens on the front - I believe it's a great recommendation for starting out in any sort of media creation experience especially for starting youtubers if you have to pick one smartphone to be your daily driver what would it be oh wow that's a good question um I Kissed obvious I don't really use one phone for very much longer than a couple of weeks I tend to hop around based on the scenario but you know if I picked a single daily driver I would have to go with the Galaxy Note 2 and now it's not in 1080p display and I do love pixels and I'm really disappointed that there's no node 3 yet but that's the only phone with LTE whose experience I really enjoy that lasts longer than I need it to so that's the battery life key factor there the razor max HD is not really fun to use for me so I would say the galaxy note 2 I would be fine with using that as my only phone if we went back in time which phone would you have wanted to be a Google Edition phone wow that's a great question the Google Edition program of phones is very new we have the Sony one the HTC One the Samsung one ah wow I I would I would pick the gallic actually now I'm gonna go with the Samsung Galaxy s2 because I used that phone on Verizon and I really loved it but that was back in the time when TouchWiz was really bad that was I think Android 2.3 TouchWiz was just a mess back then and I would have loved to use a phone like that with a nice battery life and one of my first positive experiences with an LED display I would have loved to see that phone run stock Android and of course that was back in the time when if you were into Android you would root and install on a OSP base ROM anyway but enough jargon aside I think the galaxy s2 would have been a nice phone to see as a Google addition who do you like better Duncan 3 through 303 or me this is from Lamarr Wilson I'm not going to answer that not going to answer that features I am expecting in the upcoming Android 4.3 update you know I'm not expecting a whole lot of change actually with the Android 4.3 update I did a video and in the video I did about the way Google is taking back Android and delivering new updates and new features via the Play store rather than over-the-air updates it seems like the next big update we see with Android in terms of features will be Android 5.0 rather than 4.3 so in the forex category of Android I'm expecting to see more and more incremental improvements performance improvements little functionality things here and there there's some rumors about some improvements with the notification panel for example so notification saved shade stuff and new API is there so that could be interesting to see how apps tie in and plug into that but right now I think Android 4.3 is just going to be a lot more under the hood stuff and I'm totally fine with that best in-ear headphones for under 100 bucks clips s for those are nice and best over the ear headphones for 100 bucks I'm going to go with the grotto SR 80 eyes for that love them ah that's it those are the questions that I'm answering if your question wasn't answered feel free to you can still shoot it to me at twitter at mkbhd that's where i got a lot of these questions from and also facebook but i'll have all the social media links below like where they usually are and all the stuff I mentioned in this video will be right below that like button but either way that's been it I am back back in full force reviews more explaining videos more technology all kinds of stuff like that is right around the corner coming very soon in the next few videos so stay tuned for that subscribe if you haven't already and I will talk to you guys in the next video
