TPS093: Get a Mix-minus into a Smartphone and overview of the Mackie 402VLZ4 Jul 30, 2015

Show notes

How do you get audio from your phone (iPhone, Android, etc.) into your mixer? The simple answer is you plug it in. You can use a basic stereo cable (I prefer this "Y" cable*), plug one end into your phone's headphone output and place the other end into an available channel on your mixer and now you […]

TPS092: Social Sponsorships and the Behringer Q802USB Mixer Jun 12, 2015

Show notes

What's the value of a new podcast subscriber? Would you trade 20, 50, 100 dollars an episode for a new subscriber? Two new subscribers? A podcast sponsorship can be a hard deal to negotiate and for many smaller shows it's not likely worth the tradeoff; having to put ads in your content for a small […]

Show notes

Setting up a mixer can be a difficult task. Even on the smallest mixers there are numerous buttons and knobs that all affect the audio you put into it. Knowing exactly which knobs to turn and when can be confusing at best and can wreck your audio at worst. In this episode I talk about how […]

Show notes

Of the many benefits of having a great podcast media host, having the ability to seamlessly replace a file is a nice option.

TPS089: Preamp, Processor and Editing Software Jan 25, 2015

Show notes

This show's schedule is erratic at best but that doesn't mean I think any other podcast should do the same. Not if you want to grow your show to its maximum potential. I think a show should maintain whatever schedule it sets for itself. If you are once a week then try to be there […]

TPS086: Loudness Normalization with Georg from Auphonic (Part 2) Aug 22, 2014

Show notes

Loudness normalization of your audio is a "simple" process for measuring and processing for the perceived level of your audio. Perceived levels are how the human ear interprets levels. In recent years, new standards for measuring perceived level have arisen out of a lot of research and engineering. Georg Holzmann and I discuss the history of measuring loudness […]

TPS085: Auphonic and Loudness Standards with Georg Holzmann Jul 24, 2014

Show notes

Post processing your audio podcast can be a daunting task. Where do you start? What effects do you use? How to adjust the effects once you choose them? These questions and many more like them can easily scare a podcaster away from doing any polishing of their audio podcast file. But if you're interested in […]
