How I make this podcast
This podcast is an interview between me, Eric, 4Z1UG, and my guest. I record around an hour of audio to make each episode
Equipment: Dell I7 PC - to edit audio and show notes, email, etc. Zoom H5 audio recorder Audio-technica ATR2100 USB Microphone Software: Audacity - FREE - open source audio editing software Services: Skype - My interviews are conducted over Skype. If the guest does not have it, I use Skype Out service to call his cellphone or landline. Auphonic - I level the audio and convert it to a mono-track. It also removes clicks and pops. Libsyn - the podcast audio is hosted on Libsyn. My production process: Make conversation on Skype Record my voice into the Zoom recorder. My guests voice comes from my computer and is connected to the other channel on the Zoom recorder creating a stereo track. I listen with headphones out of the Zoom recorder. I recored the entire conversation I use Audacity to edit in post production to get rid of background noise, non-usable conversation, etc. I make a point to make sure that me and my guest are not speaking at the same time. I export to MP3 and upload a stereo file to Auphonic where the track is leveled and converted to a mono track. The completed audio track is transferred to Libsyn where it is hosted. |
