My First Time Teaching In Over 4 Years Tom Buck 2025-07-02 | I was a teacher for 11 years, but haven't taught high school students in-person since before the pandemic, so it was great to remember how fun it can be! I was able to teach an audio workshop hosted by @rodemic at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival for students who were working to create their own films during the week. It was all the best parts of teaching without the staff meetings and paperwork and stuff 😁Thank you to my wonderful wife @HeatherJustPlay for filming the day and putting together this awesome highlight.

Webcams Are REALLY Good Now | OBSBOT Tiny 2 Review Tom Buck 2025-06-05 | Modern webcams like the OBSBOT Tiny 2 have gotten surprisingly capable! There’s still a big gap between a small webcam and something like a full frame mirrorless camera with a nice lens, but if you want something affordable with good image quality and some nifty features like tracking and voice control, the Tiny 2 could be a good choice 4 you. OBSBOT provided the Tiny 2 at no cost, but I’m not obligated to make a video or say anything specific about it (they just wanted some feedback on the user experience).

Blindfolded Guitar Test! Tom Buck 2025-05-27 | Can I guess which guitar this is while blindfolded? I’ve had 10 guitars hanging on the wall in my YouTube studio for years and they each have a cool personal history. This is my Surf Green 50’s Strat. I LOVE this color so much and originally put this guitar in my online shopping cart back in 2007, but didn’t actually order it until early 2019. My YouTube channel lost money for the first few years, but I actually made a little bit of money in 2018 and used that for the Strat!As much as I love the 50’s style, the sound wasn’t 100% my thing so I did end up putting a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail pickup in the bridge.

Best Budget Headset Mics: Rode NTH100m vs Fifine H9 Tom Buck 2025-05-22 | I’ve always thought that headset mics could only sound awful because that's just been my experience, but the Rode mic for the NTH-100 headphones changed my mind. I think it sounds awesome! But it also comes at a pretty high price. So I wanted to see if there was something more affordable out there that could still sound great, and I found the Fifine H9 headset, which I’ve been super impressed with. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a decent mic/headphone setup without spending a ton of money.Rode NTH100m Headset: geni.us/Y3DudtF (Amazon)Fifine H9 Headset: geni.us/y2TnWN9 (Amazon)🎬 This video (and all my videos) are edited with Final Cut Pro.
