Then there's no risk of over-taxing that computer's CPU He loves his Marantz 660 digital recorder - rock solid Sound Soap (plugin to clean up audio) - $150, works in GarageBand When making Skype calls, the call will be smoother if the call is initiated from the person with the fastest internet connection When linking to your show's iTunes presence, there is a way to have your show open directly in the place where your listener can click 'Subscribe.' *Here are the steps: 1.

Session #3 with Kate Astrakhan, Owner of Audio Adrenaline! Kate also hosts the Make Your Bed podcast. She has a ton of experience in radio and voiceovers - including that famous Greyhound commercial on which she sang, "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us." We discussed many audio topics including: Kate not using plugins Her Misophonia (see below, it's related to sound) Her opinion on USB microphones Her love of Behringer equipment Super-detail editing Adobe Audition She also brought up an amazing use of a de-esser, and hopefully she will share that secret with us in the comments, etc. *Here's a bit about Misophonia: also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome, starts with a trigger. It’s often an oral sound -- the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, chew, yawn, or whistle. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause -- someone fidgets, jostles you, or wiggles their foot.

Luis Congdon admits that he's not the most technical guy on the planet, but he's been through several audio setups so we learned from his production evolution. He hosts the Lasting Love Connection podcast, and the Thriving Launch podcast. His audio setup includes a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and MXL microphones. He and his co-host record in the same room, so we talked about how he optimizes that sound. These days he records into Logic Pro. Previously he tried recording with Ecamm recorder, Garage Band, and Adobe Audition, but he wasn't satisfied with any of them. He uses a Blue Yeti when he travels and he started the Podcasters Exchange Facebook group! Thanks Luis!

And we're off! In this first session I chat with Mary and Blake Larsen - Hosts of ParentCast, The Living Reminders, and OutlanderCast. Mary is also a musician and Blake also makes donuts. They are delightful people; maybe you want to reach out to them and say hello. Mary has an ear for details. Her previous experience as a TV show host gave her a deep insight into presentation, sound and listener experience. Now she uses those skills to craft great podcasts. Blake is the audio engineer in the relationship. He built a custom studio in their basement. Over time they have have upgraded their equipment little by little. They didn't start with great gear. These days they use Heil microphones and an 8-channel Alesis mixer. They record in Garage Band and edit using Adobe Audition. Blake uses an iPad for playing sound clips while recording episodes. They mainly use Skype for connecting with guests, and sometimes they use Skype to call their guests on the phone when they are only able to connect by phone. For mixing

I'm Chris Curran, and I'm on crusade against horrible sounding podcast audio! In general, podcasters and producers tend to have weak (or non-existent) audio engineering skills. That's where this show can help. By listening to this show every week you will gain an unfair advantage in the world of podcast production. Each week we will talk to a podcast engineer/producer and learn how they're producing podcasts - their equipment, their workflow, and advanced tips. Plus, we have fun ;) Me: Chris Curran, founder of Podcast Engineering School and Fractal Recording. http://podcastengineeringschool.com/ DID YOU KNOW........We exist for the purpose of helping you, so please comment below with any questions or remarks.
