Nothing. Just showing another type of audio recording setup. I probably posted this in the wrong section.

That's not a big deal. If you will post a sentence or two about what you find interesting or helpful about the videos, it will help us to determine whether to spend the time watching them. We appreciate your research, but we also appreciate your insight.
