    Like we all said so many times at NAB "This is so overwhelming," and ever since NAB, I have still felt very overwhelmed... but this video helped me put my NAB experience into perspective. You're right-it was life-changing. The people, the companies, the experiences... it was all amazing. It gave me a new respect for so many companies and all the hard work and passion that goes into so many products.
    I had so much fun hanging out with you, Heather, Mark W, Mark B, and Aaron! So many fun moments that I will remember forever! It was so cool being able to hang out with you in person. I have a massive amount of respect for you as a creator and as a human. You are one of the best and most genuine people I know. This video was absolutely FANTASTIC! Made me a bit emotional... with allergies... TB for president!!!

    It’s crazy isn’t Tom? 20 years ago our job didn’t exist and we had no idea this would be a dream we wanted. I’ve often gotten teary eyed in front of my audience because you get emotional knowing you’re living your dream and it’s due to the people who watch you and get to know you. Who you grow to love and appreciate because without these awesome people in the comments we wouldn’t be able not only get to know such awesome from all around the world but we wouldn’t be able to live a dream like this.
    Being a UA-camr isn’t easy and it’s much harder than people realize and it’s a lot of long nights and living or dying by an algorithm. But the people we get know and who enjoy our content are worth it.
    As former cancer survivor years ago I had nothing and no direction in my life, but this platform and the amazing people make it worth and I can’t speak for Tom but it gives you a sense of purpose and meaning that make it worth getting up every day and chug along to make another video.
    Well said Tom and I’m a big fan. Keep up the great work.

Based on the practices of language documentation and recording speakers it has been proven to revitalize speaker populations (i.e. Hawaiian, Hebrew and possibly Klingon). I’m not a linguist nor educated in audio and whatnot, just a trained teacher. Thanks to you and your videos I am confident in my language endeavours and hopeful we can revitalize our language.

    Absolutely love this Tom. The best part is not only discovering your gifts, but finding other people, good people, fun people, joyful people who share those gifts and seek to lift each other up, and support each other rather than tear each other down. Family is found…transcending the limits of what you knew. We are all family in the same space. When you discover a group of people who just want to belong to something special… it’s awesome! You never really know how much the world’s negativity can affect you until find a group a people who only want your company, fellowship, and to find happiness as a group. It takes a village…and it’s life-changing - awesome when we find “our” village!!!

    I remember my first NAB. Three days of ecstasy. I was practically skipping around the floor - dragging a growing bag of heavy brochures . Later NABs I paced myself a bit more. But my partner was with me for #3 and she was in love with all the free swag. UA-cam was still in its infancy for my last one; so no familiar faces (except, strangely, meeting Sinbad). But I still always loved meeting the actual people from the companies whose products I use. I could talk with them in a common language and they lent me their ears to my issues. It felt cathartic.
    I can still remember Cathy talking to someone about going to Vegas with me. Another woman said, “Are you going because you’re worried about your husband in Vegas unsupervised? “
    “No”, she replied, “I’m worried about him going to NAB unsupervised with our corporate credit card.” 🤨

    The best part of NAB for 2024 for me this year was watching you experience it. You know exactly what you experienced and the euphoria of the living organism you were a part of and melted into. I have to tell you there will be more to the story you haven't experienced yet. How to they say it "and now here's the rest f the story". It's a ride, I know you will take that ride with both eyes wide open. It takes a special person, personality, intelligence level, and imagination to take in what you were able to absorb. Some simply take it for granted, you are definitely not one of those people. It's a Disney experience in a whole different way.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

And honestly, I am very thankful to you being present on the internet and uploading videos, teaching about audio, sharing information and honestly, just spending your time over here, virtually with us.

I look forward to when your next upload comes, so that I can and watch.

In fact, you have that "I can learn something new from everyone I talk to" attitude that comes across so well in your videos. Absolutely one of the best NAB recaps I've seen. Keep up the good work!

I've designed my whole YT & streaming studio following your reviews and advices (and ended up with Sennheiser MKH 50 as a mic of my choice after trying like a dozen) and I've recommended your channel to all Polish CCs seeking trustworthy sources covering these topics. My university job made it harder to learn everything from scratch in my spare time (cause there is little to no spare time 😅) so without your work what I managed to achieve would've been near impossible in such short period of time.

    Not just your “basic talking head UA-cam video” that everyone seems to usually “produce.”
