Clavinetjunkie is dead!

2019-06-19
hi everyone and welcome yeah just wanted to give you an update about my channel I'm here with Jimmy we are doing a walk I thought it's nicer like this than sitting at home talking and you can also enjoy the forest through a little bit yeah I'm blessed to live near a forest many don't they lives in some city or whatever so I'm doing walks every day and I really enjoyed the beautiful landscape the atmosphere here and I hope you are enjoying it as well so the biggest news some of you probably already noticed clarinet junkie is dead my channel is named all ups gadgets now I should have done this since the very beginning but when I started YouTube I didn't quite know yeah that it would evolve into something like it is now so I didn't know I would do speaker or audio reviews I chose the name which is somehow music related I was always into jazz funk fusion so clavinet the typical instrument and I wanted to choose ROS junkie as the Fender Rhodes is my favorite instrument Hancock Chick Corea and so on but Rhodes junkie was already given so yeah I like heavy Hancock used the clarinet very often in his tracks as a substitute for a rhythm guitar so I chose clarinet junkie but now my channel is all those gadgets therefore clearly junk is dead and the bigger more important news is that I got some interesting mails comments I activated comments for my last video on purpose as I simply didn't want any pity from you yeah we are so sorry to hear and so on so the matter with Amazon is closed for me like some suspected that they closed it because I didn't I didn't show my links as affiliate links it's not what's not the reason according to them I violated some terms and conditions namely that I generated Amazon traffic without people clicking on my links first which of course is I mean this would sound as if I was doing something with my links promoting them or whatever I don't even have the time for this so I think this must have been some error well it could be also some kind of revenge maybe from some hater so maybe some bought used my links spread them around and Amazon noticed it but I didn't do anything with those links definitely not generating any traffic or at least not that I'm conscious of and unfortunately they were very unresponsive the next because I asked what is the exact reason for this maybe I can correct this maybe my site does something which I which I'm not aware of but I got the same response again the matter is closed we cannot help you anymore and after that two weeks later all other Amazon affiliate accounts were closed too because I violated the terms and conditions for the German one which of course I didn't I also tried to object with the u.s. account because this was my main account so Amazon comm was always my first because my main viewership is from the US so most links I put in from the US but they didn't help they couldn't yeah it simply is the matter is closed for them and if I try to open a secondary account which I floss I tried I try to do it for my mother and this was also closed two weeks later because they noticed somehow that she's affiliated with me which is somehow connected to me so let's forget about Amazon but yeah the news that I wanted to talk about you is or are I got a very nice email from Colleen who is the editor of an online headphone magazine called head headphone st not headphone honesty's about headphone st quite quite nice and he offered me to sponsor my channel with some money for the next month yeah I won't disclose the exact amount but this will of course help me to continue so thanks a lot : I really appreciate this a lot I mean he must do obviously a better business than me because I somehow during these eight nine years what I I think I started 2011 so eight years I somehow didn't manage to become rich or to do something out of it I never had a big talent for making money and to be honest I never this was never my intention so I never wanted to to get rich from YouTube I did this as a hobby I already told you so I wanted to give you my honest opinion about audio products about products in general there forget it gadgets I could have made mention all apps audio or olives yeah audio reviews or whatever but as I also reviewed some other stuff like some scooters I will I'm expecting a new quite interesting scooter soon so for those interested I will of course try to do a video about it but back on top it on topic so thanks Colin he will help me a lot to continue with YouTube I already prepared some videos that I will upload soon and he had I will always insert this link so that you know that he helped to somehow make this channel alive I hope everyone will thank call him too by visiting his side maybe clicking on some of his affiliate links yeah Marie not sure what has happened I could imagine that it was some kind of hater some kind of revenge act maybe even from some company because I bash their products but this is the problem I cannot accept free samples or I don't want to ask for free samples simply by by expecting them to be great then you get the sample you get the unit and it sounds like crap so what should i do should I give you my honest opinion about it and then put off the the company they sent it to for free to me still I bash it I mean if the product is crap it's not my fault I'm sorry therefore I rather prefer not to accept free samples only if I simply cannot afford them if you speak across thousand two thousand dollars I cannot buy this I'm sorry you use oh my my income from YouTube which has raised a little bit during the last two weeks but on average in the last month it was around six hundred seven hundred dollars a month so I simply cannot invest this money into all the equipment all the time I need to buy new microphones I bought new microphones both new cameras I'm shooting with the DJ I was more PocketNow which I think gives a very nice image so all money most of the money that I got get from YouTube course of course into some equipment into into yeah audio stuff and so on and so on and of course I have to use some for a living - I mean I had a family and so on it's on so unfortunately I'm in quite a weird situation right now because I got I got some samples of the affront free that I tuned more or less which would be final yeah unfortunately they don't sound like I intended they're far off so not even close so I'm in quite a bit of a weird situation we are trying to figure out what went wrong if the EQ settings imported didn't translate well or whatever so it's not that easy I would sit down here so we can talk a bit better let me switch over to for my face maybe so that you know that it's really me oh this is ugly sorry so but I will I think I will let you enjoy the view here which is of course nicer so just let me try I will show you there the final version of the in years we are looking like this unfortunately yeah they start completely different and we are trying to figure out what's going on I will give Jimmy something to drink it's a bit rushed everything so it's not easy with one hand there for a head mounted camera is much easier to operate Jimmy Shaw does the supreme so wait let me try to open this with one hand also not that easy so batter this miss my hinge there they stop because Disney save a Hearton so Nick mother saw him so Marty batter batter darkened is Vasa so let lets let's let him drink a little bit so the infantry we are working on it to bring them to that level that I expected that I simply wanted and I feel really so bad now because the product that I got is not even close to what I intended and we are trying to figure out is it some kind of translation error of the settings are the units is there some simple variation so maybe that tuning I based my non was a bit flawed or whatever and the time try to close this the so the time is really we have to rush this a little bit as they should be released now in the end of June therefore I hope you will manage and I hope the final unit will be as like I simply intended I wanted to offer you a sound and this is what I always try I try to promote or not hide but I try to push products that I personally am satisfied with that I personally would like to use would love to listen to I cannot promote product that I'm personally not really satisfied so if I get a sample or if I buy speaker and it's not what I personally like I will of course say so but yeah talking of speakers here I have a new one here it is it's also from earphone the upcoming speaker called you boom which is quite interesting let's put this away it's let me see the camera is it's not that easy to shoot with the DJI Osmo pocket is there is always some delay because of the gimbal so this is the even you boom designed by the same engineers like the tribute ex bomb but yet better in all aspects its louder more controlled sounds better more natural with better base more base also rugged waterproof has an outer in the malls there the auto mode discuss it reduces base but I would simply turn it on and let you listen a little bit so they can get an idea so I'm connected and it sounds like this how come here is so this is with this normal indoor mode without this you lose space the difference becomes rather minimal at at high levels but at low levels it's really quite bass heavy it's only directional similar design to the credit ex boom but the drivers are here at the bottom with pricey freighters at both sides so I think it sounds quite nice I compared it back and forth to the Bose Soundlink revolve to the JBL speakers also to the trivet ex mom and I think this sounds definitely way nicer let's work something else I know many like rap and so on and that makes you I would even turn off this this or turn on auto mode because I mean bass does not compress as much you lose some lower base but it's it's not silver anymore but you can hear at low levels pretty bass heavy it definitely sounds nicer than oppose something revolve more natural somehow and maybe let's try this and let's step back a bit far away I will turn volume on maximum is it really not easy so this is mixing volume as you can hear pretty loud also controlled with nice sound this right is and it's an omnidirectional speaker we can listen from all angles she means dances to the music I will reduce volume again let's listen from the other side maybe now let's turn on this base so you can hear at low levels - it's definitely some difference again mixing volume not the loud speaker definitely not enough and pretty controls pretty nice sounding I will of course do a more detailed video need some kind of Pisa maybe but so far I am quite impressed and maybe let's try some track from from Sol P what do we have here so with this you should hear you should hear the difference or the sound of course here gets slightly nicer Trevor it's similar as it was on the treated expo but this one's definitely more natural maybe even upside down the same effect we have from the post something evolved I think they the driver should have been at the top because at the bottom they reflect how much with the surface underneath therefore you get some some mixture some comp filtering and so on so it supports they are pairing with another one so Reed stereo no party mode I have two of them so we can try this out and price will be around $60 I think it will be released now at the end of June and I think it's really a bargain for what you get definitely blows away all the other similarly price because especially only rection ones it does a great job but stay tuned for my more detailed video kind of teaser maybe or review depends on when I manage so I will turn it off again and Jimmy is quite happy about the high grass yeah the Boston has the hing Gillick yeah so here I am blessed to live here in a forest this is my village below there but don't think that I'm somehow reach or whatever we had luck to find the house which was quite cheap and it was not cheap so I didn't buy it on eBay or something and it took us lots of energy to get the credit from the from the bank which would pay for the next 15 15 years but regarding what you know what we have here it was quite cheap and thanks to my father who had to in u.s. it was still on a very old level like 70s so not that modern and we managed to renew it slightly therefore it appears may be added as if I was rich which of course is not true so just because I'm living in a house with such a view I think this was pure coincidence that that we managed so again thanks a lot to all of you for any kind of support also thanks a lot for calling for managing for offering me this let me switch over here to offering me this this chance to support my channel too how do you say in English to sponsor my channel so this is the first kind of sponsoring that I have and I will of course shout out and shout out every time to his side headphone asti have a look if you are interested in two in-ear headphones and so on he does some great videos and yeah I will of course continue I already prepared a full review of the Marshall stock way to which I will publish during the next days I still have to finish editing it definitely one of my current favorite speakers this one of course this one of course also great for those who are on a budget probably one of the best omnidirectional speakers in this price range 50 60 dollars it's a no-brainer really I have no reservation only you have no battery indicator but it has a great battery charging is done by USB see which of course is nice so you have to scratch here something is biting me so coming up next some other speakers some other surprises so my channel will be kept alive thanks to my supporters of course any donation any kind of donation will help me to continue but as for now I am quite happy that Colin Douglas took this job and yeah nothing else to say I will pack everything again and maybe we will continue our work jean-yves is not as drinking so it's a kind of life video just didn't work sorry drinking hmm dunno him this him when I came I better make him up okay he doesn't want to drink anymore so let's let's close this I didn't want to take my head cam as I think the DJI Osmo pocket does a great job with with image quality and it captures this landscape quite realistic and so my next job will be to manage to analyze the tuning for the earphone way you found three so if the different wave is the full sized headphone you're also coming from your fans own Eastern Nevada so the Ephraim wave will be the next headphone that I already presented on my in my German boy for real blue video I made a shot a short introduction to the earphone with my tuning it's still not clear if it will have my tuning I personally think it sounds very nice now with this tuning definitely better than most other headphones wireless ones that I've heard it's not neutral but has an appealing sound with the also bass deeper bass I reduce the upper base because it's quite bass heavy also managed to smooth out treble in a bit so I compared it against the pure play h4 against the stoy fur against the iowa and so on and I think the earphone wave with my tuning in case they really decide to somehow take it sounds better than all these four also fifty dollars or something or even forty dollars doesn't have nice cancelling but it's very nicely tuned not because I did it and from what I know the first feedback was they didn't like the mids although I really I did everything to make it sound natural so I'm not quite sure if many people work on the product it's not easy so I personally I'm convinced that I did a great job that the tuning is all it close to perfect without without pretending a neutral sound but rather a fun tuned twist as we stop Kaka I see sweet so let's see maybe I can convince them to use my tuning but a little bit shocked now that the result for the infantry became so different to what I intended I'm expecting new samples from them also an tune so I can back check again if there is some sample variation and so on and so on but we have really little time as the that the production should start now at the end of June or so I think yeah this week so I hope we will manage everything perfectly so apart from that we don't want to talk about Amazon anymore I really think this must have been some kind of either error or some oversight but I don't think I did didn't do anything illegal I mean I put links in all my video yeah I don't mock them as affiliate maybe someone even complained at Amazon but then I would have understood if they told me that I violated terms and conditions like that I didn't that I didn't expose the links as affiliate but I remember one asshole one German asshole once commented on my video your links are not marked as affiliate I will sue you I mean come on of course I entered in a rude way but who which normal person would even care if someone has their affiliate link so this must have been some really asshole and maybe he did it all it was some company that that were simply unsatisfied because I bashed their products I mean I dressed so many there can be so many ways simply use one of my links put them somewhere on social media and so on yes some of you have also noticed that I have closed my Twitter account yeah I was I didn't use it I don't even know what what's the purpose of Twitter I mean if I have some news for you I will put this on YouTube i tawt get any money from Twitter I don't even know how people can can make money with this because yeah and and it would be just waste of time for me to to put up content therefore youtube is my main social media source and if I have something new I will of course post there and regarding this patreon thing I would think about it if I really have high plains or big plans to improve my channel even further I thought about a completely new database this that from scratch not based on YouTube because my intention back then was to offer everything everything everything for free and just by monetizing the videos also with affiliate links so all this income was lost and the videos were never monetized because then their starting procedure if you if you start the playback or jump to another track it started for a script otherwise you would not be able to synchronize to videos and the views are counted but somehow and what really so I never got an income from this accept your donations and I was never satisfied with the current state of the database because it's a bit unstable it does not work on mobile devices because it's based on YouTube and I get copyright claims because of Tchaikovsky come on so I want my plan would be to start a complete in your database including floor-standing speakers small speakers headphones in so it would be a really a kind of virtual listening room where you can listen to everything that I get my hands on and this will be quite unique I noticed that some other companies especially stores B and H or some other store or RadioShack I'm not sure they have some virtual listening mmm studio whatever but from what I know also some German site what's the name I don't I don't remember but they have some something like that some kind of database with binaural but these are not speaker recordings or not speaker they capture the speaker rather with some impulse response so they they measure the impulse response in an anechoic chamber and then apply this through some algorithm onto their listening room yeah but this doesn't represent the reality an impulse response doesn't capture all aspects of a novice speaker namely no intermodulation distortion or other stuff therefore I had a listen to this I don't remember if it was really being they chose another one but I had a listen and they all sounded the same to me so they didn't really manage to capture I mean I have to I have to Marshall Stockwell - at home now and it was sound different and I can show you show this through a video so how can - difference because from completely different companies sound same therefore something is flawed here so let me try some some way down here to finish our walk I hope you enjoyed this landscape a little bit especially for all those who don't live in the forest like me but it can also become boring after some time so let's go here so my idea would be to create a completely new database not based on YouTube not based on videos but on on audio files sound files that you can easily sync there are also three at the same time because I know there was some some proposal to always have a third video for comparison so I thought one will be always the original track and then the other tool will be either speaker a Speak Up D or headphone a head headphone B or you could even compare a headphone to to a speaker but then of course I will have to optimize my recording method this takes lots of time maybe invest into new equipment especially for in is I would like to get those more expensive couplers which would it would cost me maybe including the amp and so on maybe thousand five hundred dollars so I'm really dependent on on you on your kind of yes support so therefore if I decide to make this patreon thing I will start everything from scratch with a new database and then every mmm every backer every patreon supporter will get in excess to the database the old one will be will die out so I won't put put in any news because anymore and for the new database I will probably have to start a completely new completely new recordings and not quite so maybe there will be because I have all speakers already recorded in my old living room but the plan is in future to record everything in a new room in acoustically treated this will also take lots of money lots of time to build up the cellar to optimize it to treat it acoustically and then record everything down there which shouldn't be as River B as like my like my living room yeah I also want to go away from the living room because I I'm dependent on my family that I can make videos so I have to yeah I have to to send them out for half an hour then I'm stressed to finish I need several takes in order to get it right and I'm becoming nervous therefore now you know why why I'm talking so fast simply because I have lots of stress lots of and very nervous to finish everything in time before my family comes back or whatever but if I had some kind of recording studio in my cellar I could maybe concentrate better prepare more for the videos or so make them more interesting maybe without any life life camera whatever so I have some plans but of course I can only realize them if I yeah if I get some some some some money some some funding because otherwise I cannot afford all this it's already told you I'm not rich just because I live in a house at the pool you could see it's very old it's older than me maybe or nearly as old as me starting to fall apart so I'm not rich and the income I get from YouTube is also ridiculous compared to what many other youtubers gamers are getting had gamer channels this German what's-his-name no very popular German Mo was also in the headlines because of some criminal activity let me see what was his name Monta Montana something so I mean he one month he managed so much income like me doing this this whole or eight years which is of course incredible I mean if I could make at least $5,000 a month I could follow this but not with six seven hundred this is impossible I mean this is it it appears maybe much for for someone who is living there that that development or how do you say development Papa hope yet need to me so now that one time was to hopping so come here and hit beholder so $700 may appear match for someone who is living in a developed country but it's not much if if you live in Europe was 700 this is below the the existence the minimum I would need at least if I pay if I pay taxes for everything I would need three four thousand dollars a month to really be able to live from this and it would it still won't be a life yeah of a millionaire so I could just pay all my bills and so on and so on as to actually a better break a hip laugh so yeah also very nice here nice place let me see if Constanta notice I can up and a half a half pistol let's get down to the to the water here so I hope you enjoyed at least if not my talking then all this nice landscape here and I wanted to thank again Colin and everyone who somehow believes in me I wanted to thank Amazon for their s holism Henry not sure you have you cannot do anything you are so helpless but even within the terms and conditions it's written that there that they are allowed or the take hand stop cancel your account anytime without providing even reasons so if someone complained about my affiliate link in they could yeah they could stop it and not even provide me any reasons simply because one Payton maybe thousand dollars or two thousand whatever I mean and just suspecting but this guy who wanted to sue me because my affiliate links are not marked as such is this also ridiculous who would really care a normal person so this must be some kind of asshole yeah I will finish now we will start getting back home again last time now thanks to all of you and I will continue with the channel soon yeah this is quite typical for here if the weather is nice we get lots of like us driving on the next one coming here I never understood what their purposes of driving around I mean they are not driving to work now they are simply driving around and making noise so yeah stay tuned for my upcoming videos I have some nice surprise at 12:00 back in time also some speakers the bear that I would have never expected to get are coming I will tell you more later on but remember that clarinet junkie is dead there is no claim in a junkie anymore also because many many called me Calvin or whatever I mean claiming a junkie has nothing to do with Calvin it was really the instrument the Hohner clavinet which is every musician should know what the clarinet is at least those who are a little bit affiliated to Jess and front so last you hear I hope you like this and let me switch over I can tell my ugly face and see you in the next video I will try to to prepare my full review of the Marshall stock wave tool as soon as possible I saw James review I'm already prepared his review yeah his channel but she stained the clean Eurasian data his channel is his way more rich he has way more views so he makes a better business than me a better job but sister knows mr. Hollis okay mister Hindi common our purpose are so we will say bye have a nice time and see you in the next year compose a cat is possibility' electric you
