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 96: Billy O Returns
My returning guest is Billy O - host of The Billy O Show, podcast producer and audio engineer.
We discuss post-production specifically, and of course meander in and out of other podcast production topics including:
- Mixing “in the box”
- Waves plugins: EQ, Vocal Rider, X-hum
- FabFilter Pro-Q2 and Pro-MB plugins
- Nomad Factory plugins - cheaper but pretty good
- General EQ advice: Cut wide and boost narrow
- How to apply EQ and compression directly on a channel vs. using sends for reverbs and delays
- Chris mentions his new way of subgrouping voices so he doesn't "re-master" the intro and outro music
- Playing tracks off Spotify via through his Pioneer DJM 400 mixer
- Editing
Also, if you're interested in recording music at home, check out Billy O's 5-part series covering DIY Home Recording, published as episodes 19-23 of his Billy O Show podcast.
