Live sound guy here. The problem is that your particular mic capsule is designed to be worn much further away from your mouth. Youre not just overdriving it with plosives, you are constantly taking it to a clipping situation, so no amount of foam will help. I would simply clip it to the very front of your hat bill and run the cable over your ear, or on your shirt as it's designed, and then properly gain stage it. Also, both of those broken cables are wear items. The one to the phone is simple usb-c, and the one to the capsule is probably available from a retailer like Sweetwater. If you want a head worn mic that isn't janky AF, look at the Countryman E line. It will even plug into your current transmitter!
@@anthonyrstrawbridge possibly. Most I have seen have had pretty bad noise floors though. If you wanted to go wireless, the rode go mic is tried and true, but again a lav, so you would run into the same issues
@sreetips you may appreciate it. It is Canadian comedy. It's about a hunting lodge. They build and fix things with duct tape and all sorts of shenanigans. Definitely give it a watch.
I love how considerate you are of all of us. The popping sounds suck, but I feel a lot better about it knowing that you're putting in a lot of effort to fix it and keep us in the loop about it. This is also the first time I've seen you make electrolyte I believe. Awesome vid!
Haha...I'd hate to see the machine he does the rendering on, AGP cards sellotaped to ISA buses, upside down 386's wired with old headphone cables and insulated with wax dripping. All outputting to E.T.'s Speak and Spell...
Everyone I have seen on utube uses "Rode Wireless Go Microphones", they are much smaller and you can just clip on your shirt or on your glasses... check them out! They come with noise cancellation too... so the noise of your fume-hood can be removed automatically...

Not only is Sir Sreetips a expert gold and silver refiner. He is a sound equipment technician. 🤣This is a awesome reminder video as I'm in the process of cementing silver! So I can melt it into shot for electrolyte! Thank you as always!
Your vids are a week ending ritual for me. When Friday night comes and my week is over, there's nothing like kicking back with some hummus and pita and watching a refining video.
Thanks for answering all my questions sorry too have bothered you love the videos my silver cell seems too be running good power supply is running at 3.5 too 3.6 and 1.8 amp
As a truck driver I use bluetooth phone headsets every single day. Im not sure what recording app you are using on your phone, but wireless headsets are available at any truckstop, and transmit directly to my samsung phone. Thanks for all you teach, and I hope this helps.
With cementing out silver it's always fascinating how almost instantaneous it starts to react, you just put the copper in and it instantly frosts over with silver and starts flaking off clumps in seconds.
Your the only person I've ever seen other than my uncle, who was a chemist. that has the chemist classynes touch.. your awsome my good man... seriously... I don't give comments 2 just anyone....anymore.... it's a waste of typing...... you good Sir I look up 2....I love when you drop the sodium metabisolfate.... that's how I spell it..
Only 3 and a half minutes in, and my first thought is, airplane pilot headsets. They're deliberately designed for high fidelity in high noise environments. And I believe I've even seen a few wireless models advertised in the likes of Flying magazine and Sport Pilot NZ magazine. They're also commonly designed very lightweight as well since you're wearing them for the whole flight. Could be worth a look, also motorcyclist intercom units for bike to bike or rider to pillion wireless units.
I know I'm the one that pointed this out. I'm thinking of a better mic sock. I was in a bad mood and my ADHD go me going to point out the sound. Sounds at times can get to me. I have been watching you for year's. Sound on this video is awesome.
Samson makes that exact system. It's called their airline system. It's a wireless headset with the transmitter on the head strap and utilizes the proper mic to be worn like that without the pops.. get a thicker windscreen!
Take a piece of foam out of an old pillow and slip it over the existing foam you already have. You could also use a thing called a dead cat. It’s a fuzzy mic cover usually used outdoors but you can trim one down and it will work on your popping
Good evening @Sreetips, do you have any .999 silver bars for sell at the moment? Also, I really like the sign at your jewelers desk and think it would be crazy neat if you could get some customized stamps like that sign. Definitely would include your est. 2010 as well. I say all this b/c I think you refine metal like an artist paints a canvas, , beautiful products of work at the end. Please let us know when products are up. Just fyi... I'd even buy a Cu bar with your stamp. It would be a cool little collector item for those of us on a budget. :) Also, you could always video record, then watch your playback while recording audio from another mic device. Then, overlay the audio. You narrate very well while working, so I could imagine you could narrate your own work well too. It's probably more work and time, as I could imagine it's faster editing content with open mic recordings.
you know... these things kinda exist already.... bluetooth headsets, I use them all the time, to listen, though I imagine that there are some high end models with good battery life and top grade mics. great Improvise BTW, ingenious!

These are the same headsets our and most militaries use in their SF units as well as many in the shooting sports and construction industry at times. They are rugged and durable. Check them out if you are looking for something that will stay where you want it and do a good job as well as protect your hearing from any sharp sudden noises that might happen.
Streetips you should try getting a blue tiger headset. It's blue tooth and has noise cancelling features. As a OTR trucker I can testify that it works.
@@sreetips Maybe set up a still frame shot on a tripod and take a photo every half hour or so for the grow process then compile them into a moving picture show of sorts XD. I'm not sure if its even an option on modern cameras yet to set up timers to make that happen. That's the only way I could think atm to not worry about storage issues that would come from trying to videotape 7-10 days continuously.
I’m curious if you have done a cost analysis on refining. It would be interesting to see how much it cost to refine a troy ounce of silver or gold and what is one’s profit margins.
If you get bulk gold plated, gold filled, carat gold, and silver jewelry, you can pay far less than the value of the actual gold and silver. Hit up garage and estate sales and you'll often find sterling silver silverware and serving pieces that nobody is likely to use even if the sets are complete for far less than the metal value. For the silver, you don't just process an ounce at a time. You heard him say he gets 1.5 kilos (around 3lbs) of .999 fine (minimum) silver out of that silver cell every 10 days. As for gold, you probably wouldn't buy the glassware and supplies to just do a single ounce. The glassware is reusable of course. The most expensive chemical by far is the concentrated nitric acid. Runs around $70/2.5 liters (gallon) plus shipping if you don't have a local source. Realistically, you might pay 50% of the actual metal value so figure a profit of around $900/ounce for gold before expenses. The more you process at once, the lower those expenses will be compared to the yield.
I love your metal refining videos. The silver refining is of particular interest. Never gets old watching you cement the silver out on copper, then make shot and run it through the cell. I notice that when you make the shot, it appears that the impurities (mostly copper) almost plate the outside of the shot. Am I correct, or does the shot look like that all the way through? If you cut one of those shot pieces in half, would it be more pure in the middle? If it is only on the outside, does the rapid cooling of the alloy in cold water cause that? You might have covered this in a different video, but I don't remember that being the case. Sorry if you have and I missed it.
You can get a wind/breath cover for that microphone or since you enjoy making things yourself just cut a piece of a teddy bear or some other stuffed animal with fluffy fur and sew it yourself to fit. That will stop the breath pop you are creating when using letters like "P,B,T and D".
Rode Wireless Go II works very well for the machinists I watch. They have a very noisy background and voice comes in very clear with the mic clipped onto a ball cap. The microphone is in the transmitter, so there’s no cables to snag. Which is why it’s so popular in machine shop RUclips.
Instead of putting the mic directly in front of your mouth, put it to the side of you mouth (where the original mic on that headset is). That way you aren't popping directly into it. Not only does the popping sound bad, but it damages your mic capsule. When you had it high or low, that was actually a good thing even though it was a lot quieter. You just need to increase the volume/gain. To do that, just open the battery cover of your mic pack and use a small screwdriver to turn the 'Gain' adjustment clockwise.
I wonder if putting the Mike closer to the corner of your mouth where it's pointed at you, but not in the path of your breath would reduce the popping P's
maybe you can do a small popfilter ? maybe the filter filter from the kitchen fan or it might be to big holes in them but its a thought still love diy solutions :)
I'm wondering could you make a clip on refining crushed gold ore 'sulphides'... That very interesting to the like of myself and other amateur hard rock gold miners. To see how much could you get, as even in panning gold some area's has high sulphide deposits along with black sands, which everyone keeps just in case there's gold left.
Pure silver dissolved in nitric acid is silver nitrate. But, one could use silver nitrate crystals dissolved in distilled water. No difference. About 150g of silver nitrate crystals equals about 100g of pure silver metal.
Would a decent Bluetooth noise-cancelling mic not work well here? I realize the cost might be somewhat prohibative, but there's gotta be used Jabra headsets available on ebay.
Can you explain how to make the copper attachment to the stainless steel bowl? And are you using a copper nut and bolt? Thanks for the feedback. Awesome videos my friend👍👍
Hi Sreetips. Would the copper work better if it were cleaned with wire wool, or doesn't it make a difference please? I get a feeling that bright copper would conduct better to cement out the silver. It's just a guess. Great video. Glad you managed to fix your mike.
The old jawbone wireless mic would be good for you it was meant for motorcycle riders it blocks out ambient noise and only picks up when your jaw moves I'm not sure if they still make them but they were great for riding motorcycles and not hearing the wind or anything else except for The Voice
Just curious what type of a place a person would go to in order to get a pre-made stamp like the one you use to stamp your gold bars.......thanks in advance......
At other times on other tasks, he does. Just not necessary for here I would guess. The bubbling boil would stir things up enough without needing exterior application of stirrity.
I have a question: I'm planning to start my own silver cell base don your suggestions but I have to start small. Wouldn't it be just as efficient to have a solution of potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate as the electrolyte, without having to bind a ton of silver into the electrolyte first up? I also have the issue that nitric acid is pretty much impossible to find but I can easily buy the salts.
The carpet series is complete as-is. I’ll do a separate video and combine all the PGMs that I recover so it will be a greater amount than just 2 grams.
Could you use copper nitrate or sulfate as your electrolyte? As it seems you are double handling the silver crystal conversion at least for the AgNO3 electrolyte. ie. dissolving pure Ag crystal to make electrolyte as whech then get turned back into Ag crystal. At the end of the AG cell run (using AgNO3 electrolyte) you would have a bunch of Cu(NO3)2 electrolyte (blue liquid) after cementing out the dissolved Ag with the Copper pipes. Not sure if it would work as well but should still be a medium for current flow.
Adjusting it out a bit does sound better. If I wasn't so tired, I could probably come up with a few ideas to help you out. But 12 hr shifts are brutal.
I used to do 6x6 in the navy. Only two watch standers. Six on and six off. If you had the mid to 6am, you still had to work the morning then back on watch at noon. The only sleep we got was from 6pm until midnight, when the berthing compartment was full of noisy snipes watching CC TV. Then you get up at 23:30 (11:30 pm) and did it all over again. I did that for nearly thirty days straight. It was brutal - but I’m glad that I got to do it! They “dogged the watch” every week so we didn’t have to stand the same watch continuously.

Hi doctor best all time and each time more details 👏👌🏻
Why did you put pure silver for electrolyte?
We Can you put any silver nitrate for electrolyte?
Pure silver dissolved in nitric acid is silver nitrate. But, one could use silver nitrate crystals dissolved in distilled water. No difference. About 150g of silver nitrate crystals equals about 100g of pure silver metal.
Would a decent Bluetooth noise-cancelling mic not work well here? I realize the cost might be somewhat prohibative, but there's gotta be used Jabra headsets available on ebay.

Hi Sreetips. Would the copper work better if it were cleaned with wire wool, or doesn't it make a difference please?

Wouldn't it be just as efficient to have a solution of potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate as the electrolyte, without having to bind a ton of silver into the electrolyte first up? I also have the issue that nitric acid is pretty much impossible to find but I can easily buy the salts.
Silver nitrate crystal can be dissolved in distilled water and used as electrolyte. Takes about 150g of silver nitrate to equal 100g of pure silver.
Very cool how you used silver to make more silver 🤯 . I have a Q? Have you post the end of the carpet chapter. 😆😆😁😁 . Don't tell me I miss it.
The carpet series is complete as-is. I’ll do a separate video and combine all the PGMs that I recover so it will be a greater amount than just 2 grams.
Could you use copper nitrate or sulfate as your electrolyte? As it seems you are double handling the silver crystal conversion at least for the AgNO3 electrolyte. ie. dissolving pure Ag crystal to make electrolyte as whech then get turned back into Ag crystal. At the end of the AG cell run (using AgNO3 electrolyte) you would have a bunch of Cu(NO3)2 electrolyte (blue liquid) after cementing out the dissolved Ag with the Copper pipes. Not sure if it would work as well but should still be a medium for current flow.
The cell will begin plating out copper if the silver concentration gets too low, or the copper concentration gets too high.
Adjusting it out a bit does sound better. If I wasn't so tired, I could probably come up with a few ideas to help you out. But 12 hr shifts are brutal.
I used to do 6x6 in the navy. Only two watch standers. Six on and six off. If you had the mid to 6am, you still had to work the morning then back on watch at noon. The only sleep we got was from 6pm until midnight, when the berthing compartment was full of noisy snipes watching CC TV. Then you get up at 23:30 (11:30 pm) and did it all over again. I did that for nearly thirty days straight. It was brutal - but I’m glad that I got to do it! They “dogged the watch” every week so we didn’t have to stand the same watch continuously.
