I'd need a Dumb and Dumber level pedicure to pull off crocs

Yeah, but that's not what you usually get from a laptop's USB outlet. Which IMO is the important thing here.

True!

My point was that the there isn't one answer to this because "it depends"; sometimes the dynamic range is there... sometimes it isn't.

Sure.
And most often it's got nothing to do with buspower yes/no. Otherwise nobody would regularly use, say, their RME Babyfaces on buspower.
That's why I asked for examples. And I'm actually not wondering Focusrite was mentioned because their cheaper interfaces are, well, cheap. That's why I wanted to know whether it'd be the very same interfaces (as you certainly know, some offer both power modes).

Not what I was asking about. Does the very same unit deliver different dynamics depending on whether it's bus- or 9V-powered?

I don't get it. On the same unit you don't have both options. If it's bus powered, you don't have the 9V socket. If you have the 9V socket, it doesn't works as a bus powered unit in terms of Focusrite interfaces.

There's units that have both.

I know it's not like that with FR units, but for the same reason, any comparison is meaningless.

And fwiw, my Zoom G3 supports both options, too. No difference in dynamics.

Hrrhrr - but in fact, I'm quite serious. For me, cons are even more important than pros.



Ok, look at it that way: You spend one working day with the unit (absolutely sufficient for all the videos I've seen so far) and then sell it for 400-450. That's a pretty decent salary, don't you think?

Play with it long enough to do the video. Film the video. Edit the video. Deal with selling the unit. You are well under $50/hour, probably closer to $25 and you get that work once, twice a month? Not bad for sure, but not something to get up in arms about either.

I'm not getting up in arms, I'm just trying to sort of show how these things may work (and they actually do work that way).
Also, I think once things are set up (such as your environment and the cameras) and once you're familiar with video editing, things go quite a bit faster, especially in case you don't include somewhat more time consuming things such as measuring things and comparing captures (see Leo Gibson), recording dedicated songs (see Pete Thorn but also Guitarjon) and what not.
Anyhow, I was not saying that anyone would get rich by doing such videos, but it's certainly not a typical "user" review by any means.

I saw 2 feet pics already on TGF today and that’s 2 too many

Meh, video editing is time consuming. Period. Regardless of how generic the riffs, drums, bass are that takes time. And keep in mind to even be in the running to get the gear “for free” you need to be making a whole bunch of content, little of which generates income. I can’t imagine who in this day and age doesn’t understand that a YouTube video is no different than many/most magazine reviews from years gone by.

Might be similar efforts but the main difference would be that you're paid by the advertiser. Which isn't enhancing a "neutral" POV.

Magazines weren’t paid by the advertisers and given free product to review?

Just partially (been doing one or the other review myself years back).

In my case, even let's say I'm a pretty experienced music producer and mixing engineer, I put around 8-12 hour works for a video demo. I always write a dedicated short "song" for each demo in full production, than record it several times, pick the best takes than put FXs on it after the edit. I don't want to earn any money with this process, because I do it by passion. I kept all the gear I received from several manufacturers, because I love gear. This is a pretty enjoyable hobbie to me, next to my civil job, my touring band and my wife. That's all from my side.
