I was watching Glenn Beck’s episode 60 on YouTube and his guest Jeff Brown keeps tapping/swiping/slapping the table, and since the mics they’re using are large diaphragm condensers (??!!) ALL that noise is very prevalent and very distracting.
This seems to be a good example of using the wrong mics, but then again it’s video and video people mostly only care about the look. The mics do look kinda cool, each dangling from a wire!
FYI, they must have paused at some point and told the guest to stop doing that because after about 1/3 of the way through the episode he stopped making all that noise.
