The Set Up:
It all starts with the Mic! You’ve gotta have a good mic to feel like you really are producing something of quality. Besides, you want the quality. I use the Samson CO3U USB Mic. I love this thing. Mounted on a shockmount, the sound quality is fantastic and you get little to know vibration noise.
Next you need a piece of software to record your podcast into. I’m digging GarageBand on the Mac, but love Audacity (Mac and PC) as well. Both programs are simple enough for you to get started, and both can expand and give you the control you want over your audio.
Most of our interviews are done virtually. The easiest thing I have found is to record the conversation using YouTube Live by starting an event and making the recording unlisted.
On my MacĀ I use a program called YouTube to Mp3 Converter (free) to download just the audio from the youtube video. One I have that I bring all the mp3 files into GarageBand or Audacity and mix it together.
OK, so now we’ve got the mic, the software to record and the system in place to push all the audio you want through your sound card we’re on to the fun stuff.
You’re gonna want some intro and exit music. You can spend a lot of time on the web searching for that perfect sound, that prefect entrance to your recording. I find Free Play Music to be a great site with loads of free to use sounds and short loops.
Or if you really want something original you can use a paid service like Fiverr. A great site that has a lot of professionals that you can pay to create your sound bits for you (that’s what I did).
If you want to stream live just make you YouTube Live event “public” and you’re live on YouTube!
So here’s how I edit my podcasts:
