Description

Announcement: We will be taking a break for the holidays, so after this episode we will be back on Jan. 5th. Links mentioned in this episode: Podfest Multimedia Expo in Orlando, Florida from Feb. 23-25, 2017 The Podcasting Course in Lexington, Kentucky from April 21-22, 2017 Podcast Gear Group (Facebook group led by the incomparable Marc Johanssen) First I mention and explain what I’m using to record this episode - a Shure SM7B right into my Mackie mixer - no processing before recording, which is different than my normal setup at home. With regards to peaking/distorting, setting my recording level when the mic is "raw to tape" is much more difficult than when I'm using a compressor before recording. Then I discuss these 4 topics: 1. The Wisdom of Audio Processing Silk mode on my Neve Portico II - RED/BLUE - Tweaking my EQ & Compression on my new RE20 Dbx 286s “Enhancer” section - LF Detail, HF Detail Using a multiband compressor on a voice - compressing the low end as well as boosting the level of that low end 2. Debrief Last Week’s Episode Production Too much compression, especially with a reverby room Ralph & Carol Lynn were very close to their mic’s Using gates to tape Auphonic Multitrack crossgate function 3. Matching/Balancing the Sound of Voices Within Episodes The Real Brian - had to remove lots of low end to match Skype and phone calls 4. Upgrading Your Equipment Over the Holidays Not in terms of good deals, but strategy For deals and info visit Podcast Gear Group on Facebook Mike Michalowicz upgrading to 4 mic inputs - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to 18i8. (He's the host of the Profit First Podcast) Enjoy a wonderful Holiday season! Be with you again on Jan. 5th ;) And be sure to send me pics of your new gear!!!

Chris chats with podcasters and audio experts about their equipment, software and workflow. You will learn step-by-step how they are producing podcasts, solutions to common audio issues, and plenty of tips and tricks. By listening every week you will glean A TON of audio engineering knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your sound, not to mention save you a lot of time. Your host Chris Curran has a background in podcast production (Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, J&J, etc) as well as music production (Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Foreigner, etc). When he entered podcasting about 7 years ago, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a solid understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as the Podcast Engineering School, helps producers and podcasters reach professional levels of podcast production.
