Great show. When I used to do private DJ Karaoke parties, I always cleaned the mics with alcohol and put new foam covers on. Yeah they would be dirty. (I bought them in bulk by the bags). Also I used a twin platter- twin cd deck, but I was the only one who touched that, the video monitors and speakers. I do think it's important to keep gear clean as you speak of.
I used to work on radio. I can imagine that the board would be extremely dirty, because DJs would have to rush to and from the restroom. Who knows how well, or if they washed their hands at all!?
Funny, I just spent an hour cleaning my keyboard. I mean popping off all the keys, vacuuming then Q-tipping out all the food particles, and hand clean the caps by dipping in soapy water. Yes, I snack at my keyboard, a bad habit for many reasons. Thanks.
I got an ultrasonic cleaner to clean off mic screens recently. Works fantastically. Does nothing for rust… at that point you gotta replace the ball end or whatever youre dealin with. Foam is just a replacement thing. Cost of doin business.
This used to gross me out but after years I realized its pretty normal. Practically everything we touch in day to day life will have similar results.. Still kind of gross but its not some deadly disease or anyhing its been there our whole lives and nothing we can do about it.
Speaking of radio, I wouldn't want to see the results from some of the 24/7 used RE-20s that had been in air studios for decades. I was way too close to those suckers for far too long.

It can be so hard when you are busy...but after seeing this...I just may be a bit cleaner with my gear...lol

Ewwww...yeah I try not to think of that...lol
One of my cohorts used to brag about making it back within one song.
Ugh
This actually something i think about often because Im a quiet person so I keep the mic closer to me in general
Anything surprise you?
@@DarkCornerStudios not really lol

Yeah...I spend so much time at my desk...its impossible to not eat
Im glad I stopped snacking while gaming as a teen when it screwed up my ps5
Fluro socks ftw - you quickly realise how dirty they get XD
lol...I have a short on this channel of me cleaning my sons SM7B filter...
They dont have to be fluro...lmao...
Interesting that the nexidyne was dirtier than the used microphone when it just came from a factory
Fresh use is probably the reason there
Ima just alcohol my studio - brb
Yeah...get some branded wipes...next new big thing!

I do like the approach of the BCM series from Neumann...the replaceable screens is a nice touch
The studio chairs would be one to check.
I considered it...but my mouth is rarely close to them...lmao

@@seanwebb605 I said what I said
Great video! Now I'm curious how a dirty/often used wind foam vs. wind foam washed with soap vs. wind foam exposed to sunlight (UV) compare.
Ohhh...that does sound fun.
Need to get me a couple really dirty windscreens

This was pretty interesting and I'm happy with the results!

I tried getting into a station to do some testing...but apparently the optics would look bad...lmao
Excellent video.
Clean - Always used to be a given. But then again, I thought it was only me?
There you go. Rode will have to make a copper nutton ans switch mixer version.
Lmao
Depending on the growth media and incubation conditions, your results could have been quite different!
Yeah...perhaps I should have prefaced the video with the lack of scientific foundation...bahahaha.
Figured that was a given
O.K. It Took Me 3 Days To Watch This Video. I Got It On The First Day.
Lol...why so rushed?
Just remember that if you speak moistly.......
