Dan, I love your videos. However, the audio is always sketchy. One thing I'd recommend is after you finish each video, strip the audio & load it into adobe audition. Then Dynamics process it and Normalize the audio, and overlay it on-top of the video again. That way everything is the same level, and is nice and loud. That way there isn't a need to turn the speakers up to the max.
@Jrrath Many thanks, Josh ... great stuff! I'll order a copy of Audition and change the workflow to follow your suggestions. I've been exporting from Final Cut Express (in AppleTV format of late). Sounds and looks okay as a MOV on my iMac, but it gets stomped when its converted. The plan is to go HD at some point this year. If we land a TH-cam NextUp spot, that'll happen sooner, rather than later. Fingers crossed we make the grade ...
everyone is saying that the audio isnt quite right, but on my MacBook Air, it seems to sound just fine. Did you make it on a Mac? If so maby there is something wrong with converting it to a non-mac computer.
I have always liked this car but people always seem to knock on it saying "it's just a re-badged Edge". How do you feel the 2 compare Dan? Would you just save your money and get an Edge over this or is the extra cash worth it? Interior wise, option wise, and ride quality wise.
@Jld2588 True. I am well aware of the luxury car connection with their so-called lower brand counterparts. I was not trying to make a point about one vs another. Ultimately, my goal is get a vehicle with promise and stay within my budget.
@flatblackstrat I just saw a video from Motor Trend and they said the same thing about the MKX and the Edge. That's why the MKX was knocked out in round one of their Best SUV of 2011 review. It's a bit disconcerting to hear. I really like the MKX but if the components and features I like about it is also in the Edge it may be worth saving a few bucks. I'd have to test them both to make a final decision though.
@rollsroyce666 Yep, it was made on a Mac. I've since changed the production flow of our segments by running the audio track through Levelator before uploading to TH-cam. All is good. :)
A Lincoln with manual hood strut? Come on Ford you really are not competing with Cadillac let alone the BIg Boys in the luxury class. A small detail but people looking at luxury vehicles are all about the details.

Not trying to sound creepy here, but I love your voice. It's so soothing...

@Jolxu Or the LX being a rebadged Prado. Luckily the Yota version isn't sold stateside. Sadly the Hilux Surf isn't sold in Japan anymore.
The front end of this thing looks like an upside down mustache.
@Jrrath I agree, you can't hear the intro....
@flatblackstrat I haven't been in the most recent Edge, so I can't make the call. Best bet would be to drive the two back-to-back.
I hope am not the only one who perfered the previous generation full taillights
@XscXps3 why would it break down its built by ford they tend to last 15 years minimum so in 2026 you might need to look for a replacement

I'm thinking about replacing my 08 Navigator with one.
