    Your importance is growing, more important though is how people are learning what it is like to be a busker. That knowledge is so much more helpful than other busker videos which are titled "the best busker ever". Time to organise a little ARP flash mob kinda thing. I'll bring me fiddlw and mandolin Cheers buddy.

    Nice set up! Congrats on the new equipment. Great review, very informative and well done. The guitar looks and sounds awesome. At first it looked to me like a carbon fiber build. I have seen a couple of players using them around the Houston area. My set up is a fender Jr go, sure beta 58 and Taylor. The Samsung looks like it is a bit more rugged than the fender. Plus the 12 hour battery life is insane. I will be looking into getting one. Thanks again. Really enjoying the videos and insight into the daily life.

    Congratulations for such a well-deserved acknowledgement ❤ I don’t know the guitar, but I used a Samson radio mic system for years, which I enjoyed very much. It’s good to hear the battery-powered amp meets expectations and fitness for purpose. Maybe subjectively, but I’m pretty certain this video has captured your performing sound more brightly and clearly than usual which must be down to the gear upgrade … and I haven’t even put my hearing aids in yet this morning 😉. I got back from the Wokingham Festival last night (I went down on Saturday specifically to see my grandson’s band play and stayed) and was introduced to some excellent music from that part of the world. While I was there I took a couple of hours out to go into town to play a busking set yesterday. Not much footfall, but lovely interactions and that exchange of energy we’ve discussed!

    • @AugustRadioProject
      @AugustRadioProject  Год назад +1

      Thank you Marshlander! They seem to be a reputable brand and I'm honestly stoked they've gotten on board for the ARP journey! 😃 the amp is incredible, a real game changer and certainly a big upgrade - I don't see myself needing another one any time soon, this thing should be able to handle a crowd! 🙌
      That's awesome about the festival and good to know about Wokingham, I'll have to take note for if I find myself passing through there! Thank you as always dude!

      Hi friend, firstly congratulations on your videos. I would like to know if for a busking that only plays and doesn't sing, if it has the same visibility as someone who sings. and I would also like to know about the licenses.

    • @AugustRadioProject
      @AugustRadioProject  Год назад

      @@eluan40 Thank you! 😃There's plenty of buskers out there that are singers (without playing an instrument) and they seem to do just fine! Vocals is an instrument too! As for licenses... each local council has a different take but for the most part you don't need a license for many places throughout the UK - best thing to do is look at the council's website for the Busking guidelines 🙌

    Really enjoying your videos and i can see how you have improved over time. One thing you may think about is attach a telescopic pole to your hand truck so the speaker is at head height which would help project the sound it also means the controls are close to you at head height saves you bending down you may have to have a foldable leg stabalizer to make the truck more stable when the speaker is up.. 🎶🎸

    • @AugustRadioProject
      @AugustRadioProject  Год назад

    Shopkeeper: "Not that you're *particularly* bad or anything" 😄😄😄
    That guitar sounds great through the amp. I've found a lot of the Fishman undersaddle pickups can be very quacky. I wonder if some of the natural sound of your guitar is being captured through the mic from the position of those sound ports, because it's not quacky at all. I'm looking for a new busking amp and will definitely consider this one.

    • @AugustRadioProject
      @AugustRadioProject  Год назад +1

      🤣🤣 it’s like the ultimate compliment from a shopkeeper that wants you to move 🙈
      That’s interesting - honestly the guitar has a beautiful sound, my other guitar has a fishman too and the biggest difference is the depth that this guitar has - way more low end! 🙌🏻 highly recommend the amp too!

    Many people just Walk/Pass by and dont listen. Few people listen sometimes, many people give me great compliments, smile and Donations but then walk their way again.
    Because im still new to busking, sometimes its still irritating/bit hurtful when people just walk by😅what would be your advice with this Situations?♥️

      It is 100% normal... it can seem SO weird at first, especially if you're used to a show where people watch and listen to everything! 🙌 the thing to remember is that even though some people don't acknowledge you, it doesn't mean you haven't had an effect on them - you'll be unknowingly making their day!

    Всем привет ! Недавно снял новое видео на любителя такой тематики - Street performance with Everse 8 (vocals) звук портативной аккумуляторной колонки с разных расстояний и демонстрация мобильной зарядной станции AllPowers S200. Съёмка проводилась в центре города Казань на уличном концерте, вокал под минусовки для вокалистов в жанре золотые ретро хиты. Сокращённая версия на 17 минут с подробным описанием к видео и тайм кодами эпизодов в закреплённом комментарии ruclips.net/video/yoybdtGrRm4/видео.htmlsi=GqU12pnxDgDYgooN Всё таки высокий SPL 121 дБ и широкий угол покрытия 100 × 100° рупорной системы динамиков хорошо делают своё дело. Относительно не большую 40 см в высоту и не очень тяжёлую колонку в 7.6 кг хорошо слышно издалека и со всех сторон без сколь нибудь существенного ущерба для звука. Конечно для совсем уж шика и блеска не помешала бы поддержка саба на низах, но это уже как говорится другая история
