Simple Recording Setup

August 5th, 2008 Posted in Podcast

This is the first of 3 presentations I did at the Geeks & God Web 2.0 Conference last month. I hope you enjoy it.

The funny comment is from Scott Roche, author of Archangel: Valley of the Shadow. The promo at the end is for Stan Prolongo, short stories about a private detective from the white sands of the Goshen Ocean.

Audio from the conference was recorded by Micah Webner.

Video by ConnectedGeek is available at: http://connectedgeek.net/content/node/2. I think I’m in just about all of them but this presentation is probably in #4 or #5 for July 24th.

My notes from the presentation: Simple Recording Setup

    You’re quite welcome sir. Glad you like it!

    You have 7 kids! Wow. God bless your wife. ;-)

    My rig cost about $75. $50 mixer (second hand), $15 mic (I do need a better one, but it’s a step up), $10 stand/gooseneck. I use Audacity. Based on that how would you say I am doing?

    Would that this had video. Next year someone needs a good video camera.

    I’m really interested in recording interviews on one machine.

    1:20 answer your phone. Tee Hee! Thanks for the love!

    Scott,

    Your rig is a good basic setup. The only advice I have for you right now is to 1.) get a pop filter and 2.) run your final mix-down through Levelator before exporting it to an mp3.

    I’ll do a podcast on how to record interviews with 1 machine in an upcoming episode. That’s a great idea.

    Dave,

    Yeah. The phone was too close to the laptop when I recorded. Not cool.

    A pop filter is next on my list to buy.

    I’ll check out Levelator, thanks!
