This show focuses on the technical production of audio podcasts. Chris Curran chats with podcasters about their audio equipment, software and workflow to help you learn how to produce better sounding podcasts. You’ll also learn solutions to common audio issues as well as plenty of tips and tricks. By listening to this show you will gain a TON of knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in your sound quality _and_ save you time! Subscribe/Follow today and start listening! 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 in 2012, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a good understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as Podcast Engineering School, helps podcasters and producers reach professional levels of podcast audio production.

episode 55: Various Production Scenarios and Finer Points
Note* I now use and recommend Zencastr instead of CAST. As you listen to previous sessions you'll hear me mention CAST from time to time but their service has gone downhill badly and Zencastr is now the best in that space, in my opinion.

TOPICS this session:
- Recording with my Zoom H6 at the Pause Your Life retreat. AT 8035 shotgun mic. Also resumed my gawking at the Sennheiser MKH 416 - and sad that I didn’t buy it when it was on sale for $600 (normally $1,000).
- Arik Levy (last session, #54) “The Rode Broadcaster is the best mic ever! Out of the box amazing. With no EQ I sound rich and smooth. NT1 going back…”
- Describe my PES class recording and production process
- Zoom - record with this but don’t use it unless Camtasia fails
- Camtasia - the system audio is recorded very low
- PPT, Reaper, Soundforge, Ozone, RX 6
- RX 6 Advanced (I upgraded from 5) --- 50% discount for PES Students
- Voice De-noise
- Phase
- Loudness
- EQ
- De-click
- De-hum
As I mentioned in the audio, here's my affiliate discount link for Podcasters' Society: https://podcasterssociety.com/pes/ . It's a wonderful community for podcasters and producers who have already launched their show(s) and are ready to improve their show(s) big time. It's WAY more helpful than your average Facebook group, and I'm not knocking any podcasting Facebook groups because they are awesome, it's just that Podcasters' Society goes way deeper and wider in so many ways.
Thanks for listening!
