    Hi guys.... so I do enjoy your channel a lot. It’s full of very useful information ...but here’s some things I personally, would change. Can you get rid of the obnoxious electronic sample music?? How about you find a musician to make you your own theme music? I mean, you do live in the live music capital of the world! At least turn it down during the non dialogue scenes.... I have to constantly adjust my volume between talking and the “music”.
    Otherwise, y’all are doing a great job!

    • @VWLifeVW
      @VWLifeVW  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well we are glad to have you subscribed!. No these don't really work in the beetle. And I don't know if they make one for the beetle it's not as much as of an issue. With the reduction boxes on the split bus there's a lot of stuff going on that causes these front mounts to go bad

    • @tommiesmith3369
      @tommiesmith3369 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes they’re made for a beetle and help just as much as in a bus .. possibly more in a bus because of the torque of pushing more weight putting more demand on the nose cone in a bus .
      But in a beetle they do just as good keeping the nose cone from being over worked .
      They’re are built differently for a bug but the end result is the same

    • @VWLifeVW
      @VWLifeVW  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ah see that's why we have tommiebsmith on board! a quick search does indicate they are available for beetles as well. In this case though Wolfgang does not make them you would have to source them elsewhere.

      @@VWLifeVW it's more of a matter of being able to concentrate on the subject you're trying to talk about. I can see that you're trying to make the clips feel more like a TV show etc. but with constant underscore ( the term used for "background" music) the view can't fully engage. The use of underscore in film/tv is often used to DISTRACT the viewers attention as well as to DIVERT their attention. I doubt that is/was you're intention when editing this segment. You do a great job of explaining but I would say 25 to 40% of the intellectual information that the viewer is watching become clouded and not retained. Can you imagine talking a class in school with background music playing while the instructor is teaching? Didn't think so...
