Ep. 002 – 2 mics, one puter, editing and show notes

I’m getting better every time I touch the mic and the cutting board.  Really enjoying learning a lot of little tricks with editing.  In my post production listening of this show I think I need to work on voice consistency, but I’ll save that for another episode.

We were able to get Episode 0 of 2nds Count thanks to the help of .:Bro. Robert Johnson from the Whence Came You Podcast.  Many thanks Brother.  Would’ve hated to scrap the whole thing. We determined the issue was with us both using Trav’s CAD condenser mic.  It still doesn’t sound great, but it’s tolerable…and published in iTunes & Stitcher!  Wooohoo!  Now we’ve got both shows up.

We’re going to try using the new version of Hindenburg for next episodes recording so that we can hopefully use both microphones.  Time will tell and if not, I’ll beat Trav into getting a dynamic mic as we DO have a mixer available to try out.

Learned a bit about adding in intro music and whether to roll the dice and use music before you’ve received permission.  Editing this stuff is tricky to make it sound right with your episode.  I feel like I know double what I did before last time and yet still so ignorant as to best practices. And speaking of intro music, thanks to Audionautix for the great free production music.

Should we monetizepre-show-notes?  We only have 1 crappy episode out. I’d say heck no…until a tip from Daniel J Lewis (I REMEMBERED!) at the Audacity to Podcast made me think otherwise.

Finally some show notes and I’m convinced they’re important.  But are they the same thing as the blog post?  You can see I’ve gotten more wordy here than the last time(s).  Oooh and look at my pretty pre-show notes picture.

Give it a listen to Episode 2, subscribe and send me some feedback.

Ep. 001 – 2C episode 0 Recorded – but poorly!

Woo hoo!  While I haven’t heard back from iTunes or Stitcher yet – Episode 0 of I Want to Start a nmaD Podcast has officially been submitted.  Here’s hoping you can actually listen to it through the feed.  In this episode tcover0he recording of Episode 0 of 2nds Count Podcast…A true understanding of what Episode 0 means.  Condenser mics bad – Dynamic Good (though my guess is Trav will still argue that point).  Discovery – You can’t use 2 USB microphones on the computer…well, you can…you just need a mixer.  Always monitor your audio…trust the monitor and make sure you sound good when recording.

Holy moley we figured out how to host for free in Google drive, made a feed with Feedburner and even publish to iTunes and Stitcher! Back to Audacity….sorry Hindenburg – where’s the effects? What is episode 0? Yay – a Facebook page…..and a WordPress page (the free one!). This MP3 encoder is LAME! Cover photo MP3 embedding made easy with…WMP? Don’t forget to host your itunes cover photo in the right place. What is the difference from the itunes cover photo and the mp3 one?

Ep. 000 – I Want to Start a nmaD Podcast

OK – following that debacle during recording and editing…I have managed, with the help of Amit Agarwal‘s post online, been able to create an rss feed with the file floating somewhere around the WWW!  I even submitted it to itunes!  Hey – this might have actually worked!  You can check out the episode below but hopefully it actually DID get submitted to iTunes and IF so, check itcover0 out there and subscribe. Next episode I’ll talk about the nonsense involved in finishing this first one and then rest of the discovery process in creating the ACTUAL podcast this test one here is all about. ____________________________________________ Discussing the journey of starting a podcast.  Why do I want to start a podcast?  How do I start a podcast?  What is RSS?  I’m a Dave Jackson fanboy. I love my audiotechnica atr 2100.  I’m cheap and don’t want to pay for anything else.  Check out my cool reverse effect and intro outro music.
