I ran into this article by Paul Strikwerda. As we head into 2012, I think he hits on a lot of great key points.

Happy New Year!

Well, ya know it goes both ways too....I'm not really enamored with the smug 20something agency types sipping their lattes, ad barking orders on the other end of the isdn..I certainly give them what they want, but I'm glad they have no idea how often I'm rolling my eyes

I just wish I could find a foot operated mute switch for those days when a bit of direction really makes you want to laugh out loud.

Loving "If you're in need of praise, visit an Evangelical church" !! Hallelujah to that, brothers and sisters.

Chuck - Bill's right, the Short Stop is a great mute switch...I've got one in my booth. But don't be mislead by the line that says "Noiseless Momentary Microphone Muting Switch." It's only "noiseless" in the sense that it doesn't add any noise to the signal itself. However, the 'click' that the switch makes in the booth when you activate (and release) it, is EASILY loud enough to be picked up by your mic, and people on the other end of an ISDN line will hear it.

I've learned to 'mentally' laugh out loud. Saves a lot of money and extra cables.
