    Ralph M. Rivera

    Mr. Ralph M. Rivera joins me once again and we cover a lot in this session! He's the man behind Podcaster's Toolbox (btw there's a woman behind there with him). They both host the Carbon Based Business Units podcast, too.

    We discussed:

    The Microphone Test Drive Booth at the upcoming Podcast Movement conference (which I will be running).

    The launch of Podcaster's Toolbox! It's a suite of tools that removes podcasters' headaches associated with coordinating guest bookings, organizing images and show notes, regularly sharing previous episodes, and much more. You'll need an invitation to start using it for free, so stop by their booth at Podcast Movement or ask me for an invite ;)

    Recap of Podcast Engineering School class of 17A, and a preview of the next PES course which starts Sep. 26th.

    Ralph's new headset setup using the Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset with Dynamic Boom Mic.

    My new Sonarworks headphone and speaker calibration software.

    Ralph and Carol Lynn's groovy podcast: Carbon Based Business Units

    My new plugins:

    • Manny Marroquin Triple D (De-boxy, De-harsher, De-esser)
    • Parallel Particles (Air, Sub, Bite, Thick)
    • Fabfilter Pro-Q 2 (awesome!)
    • CLA-76 (Blue stripe and Black face)
    • CLA-2A
    • SSL E-Channel strip
    • PuigTec EQP1A and MEQ5
    • PuigChild 660 and 670

    Mixer

    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.

    First, I reflect on this show - A Walk Down Memory Lane!

    • Session 1 - March 10, 2016
    • 2016 break from Thanksgiving to the New Year
    • 2017 start - Session 38 with Garth Humphreys - January 5, 2017

    TOPICS this session:

    1. 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).
    2. 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…"
    3. 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
    4. 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.

    My guest is Stephen, a mix engineer working on mostly hip hop, rock, and alternative music.

    We talked about many aspects of audio engineering that will definitely help podcast engineers/producers, including:

    • Processing the human voice
    • Rode NT-1
    • Neumann TLM-103
    • ProTools 12.5
    • EQ'ing first
    • Pultec EQ
    • De-esser before and/or after EQ
    • Multiple compressors in series:
      • The first one having slow attack and fast release
      • The second one having fast attack and slow release (around 3 full seconds!)
    • Listening on different speakers in different environments
    • FGX mastering software by Slate (he used to use Ozone 7)
    • Constant Gain Monitoring

    Thanks for having fun with us on the show, Stephen!

    RE20's, RE320, PR40, SM7B

    Today I'm using my new microphone for the first time! Actually it's over 30 years old - a vintage RE20 from the 80's I believe, and courtesy of Marc Johanssen. (join his Facebook group here). Yesterday I recorded session #50 with Roy Stegman using it, too, but that was before I spent time dialing in the settings on my channel strip to make the mic sound tip-top.

    NEWS: I'm proud to announce that I am now a resident expert (of audio engineering) in the Podcasters' Society! It's a wonderful community founded and facilitated by Daniel J. Lewis, a former guest on this podcast ;)

    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.

    *As I mentioned in the audio, here's my discount/affiliate link for Podcasters' Society: https://podcasterssociety.com/pes/

    NEW GEAR: I purchased a Zoom H6 for on-site recording among other things. I especially like the solid build, the different microphone attachments, and most of all the backup recordings on the L and R which record at 12 db lower than the main recordings to provide a safety net in case there is some distortion on the main L and R channels.

    I also reflected briefly on Podfest again. Love that conference...

    It's getting close to Podcast Engineering School which starts online on April 4th. I commented on all the training modules and topics that will be covered. Even if you don't attend the course, these are some areas where you can improve your production value a lot.

    Thanks for listening!

    Kirk Bowman, Host and Producer of The Art of Value Podcast

    My guest is Kirk Bowman, host and producer of The Art of Value Podcast. Kirk is seriously on top of his game in the area of podcast production. We had fun discussing his equipment, workflow and processing, etc. (list of topics is below)

    I asked Kirk to send me the stock settings for the Broadcast preset in the multiband compressor which comes with Adobe Audition (because tons folks use this preset). See the show notes for a screenshot.

    Kirk also told me about a channel strip which has a phase 'rotation' function (which is different than the much more popular phase 'inversion'). See the show notes for a screenshot.

    Here are some other things we discussed:

    1. MOTU 1248 interface
      • 4 XLR inputs
      • Routing matrix
      • AVB (audio over ethernet used to connect multiple interfaces together)
      • Thunderbolt to Mac
      • Built-in effects
    2. Match Loudness in Adobe Audition
    3. Multitrack recording
    4. Processing each track to -18 LUFS using Auphonic
    5. Multiband compression during mixdown
    6. Editing
    7. Upgrading equipment as he grew

    Thanks for being a great guest, Kirk!
