The 125 pound Record Weight

A video review (of sorts) of the HumminGuru Lumi.

Oh I just want to mention something about the start of the video. The other week I noticed the stats on the previous video showed that about 50% of viewers had stopped watching in the first 30 seconds. This intrigued me. The idea of spending all that time effort and money making a video only for someone to give it the most cursory of glances and click away before it had really got going, amused me to no end. So I thought - right let’s see how many viewers I can get to bail when nothing is said for the first minute.

It turned out though that those YT stats were messed up and the actual percentage still watching after 30 seconds was around 75% which is pretty good really - but still it was the erroneous stat which prompted the intro. That and I thought it would be a bit ludicrous to go to all this trouble to play a record containing this audio. It’s a lighthearted ‘bit’, poking light fun at the whole overblown vinyl enthusiast thing…but I doubt many will get the joke.

Now last week I naively wrote the following.

I’ll attempt to catch up a little mid next week with a short video about a nonsense item that cost too much and does very little. I feel that it shouldn’t take very long to demonstrate.

Well this is that video and it turns out that I’m incapable of assembling a video in a hurry. I’m learning to live with this. I mentioned last month how despite my best efforts my pace has noticeably slowed down in recent times. But yes it’s not so great for producing lots of ‘content’ efficiently.

Anyway, since I haven’t managed to get ahead or even to catch up I’m going to leave it a week before this one goes out on youtube. It’ll be a Patreon exclusive until then,

I anticipate there will be a bit of a delay now before I have anything else new ready to show you as there are loads of annoying chores getting in the way over the next couple of weeks. I’ll try my best to get something done in-between them, but I’m not going to make any promises this time.

All the best, take care.

UPDATE: As requested I’ve added in a wow & flutter test and therefore swapped out the video. I think we all know the outcome- so no need for a rewatch but for the curious it starts at around 12:50.
