We need to talk…

  • …about time. The time that goes into making a Darko.Audio video. I’ve been trying to make this BTS explainer for at least two years but review videos have always come first. Well, until this week.

    In this video, I detail the time and effort that goes into each of our review videos. No, I don’t count the hours poured into listening, only video production. No, I am not complaining about my workload. And no, I am not looking to change the way I work. I simply want to take you behind the scenes.

    I realise this topic has more limited appeal than a product review – and some viewers will see it as a little self-indulgent – but I’ve been doing YouTube for six years now and (I believe) to a high standard so I think I’ve earned the right to go off-piste.
