    Chris Curran

    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!!!

    We recorded this episode using their brand new custom mobile podcasting rig! They are going to be travelling a lot over the next year so they put together a top quality mobile rig which they can take anywhere to record.

    20161108_172726_-_1200-h

    It houses many pieces of equipment, as well as all the cables and power cords already connected and ready to record. Just pop off the covers of the road case, plug in one power cord, plug in the mic's, and start recording!

    Equipment inside:

    • Four dbx 286s
    • Zoom F8 multitrack recorder
    • Eight channel headphone amp
    • Two big drawers to hold the mic's
    • Four Heil PR-40's
    • And just in case, a Behringer Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600

    Thanks for inviting me over and showing me your awesome mobile rig, Ralph and Carol Lynn!

    My guest is Scott Weingart, producer and host of The EMCrit Podcast, as well as a physician (MD, FCCM) and Editor-in-Chief of EMCrit.

    Scott is not your average podcast producer and we really learned a lot from him about his equipment, workflow and processing.

    I also got to tell a cool story about a sweet monitoring trick I learned from the immortal audio engineer Andy Wallace from his sessions with (also immortal) singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley at Soundtrack in NYC in 1994.

    Additionally, I spell out one elaborate method of taming nasty "P's" popping after they've been recorded.

    Here's some of what Scott and I discussed:

    • Shure 87A microphone
    • Sound Devices USB interface
    • The usefulness of a dog clicker!
    • Noise reduction within Adobe Audition
    • Hi-Pass filter
    • Tube-model compressor
    • Hard limiting
