Podcasting

Every time I do a Podcast it's like a new test of my brain and patience.

The 500th Blog Post Celebration was my first attempt ever at editing audio really. I used to do simple things like making Tapes from CD's and mixing those together. As primitive as it might have been it was a lot of fun.

My 2nd show was the Carcast, which was seeing how it a recording would turn out doing it quickly with no equipment in my car. I was under high stress trying to get this done. Though it was a great attempt at mobile recording.

My 3rd Podcast was the Christmas Test I don't really count that. But the real Christmas show was another attempt at trying to improve on what I created with the 500th post. Though not as many call ins as I had hoped for so I had to get a couple people in twice and go steal some promo's from the promo Podcast over at podshow it worked on a different level and improved upon some things like having a constant volume for the music behind the phone calls and getting all the phone calls at the proper volume.

My 4th show where KGB Mafia Man and me sat down and had a discussion about Women was a big step forward in trying to record from two sources at the same time. Though I should have gone about it in a different way. I used my Mic and my other USB mic and plugged them into my laptop and fed both of the audio feeds into Soundflower (2ch) using to running applications of LineIN and fed the Soundflower 2ch Mix into Garageband and recorded that and added on top of it. Had I been thinking about it for better control over both feeds I would have gone with Recording each as a separate feed using Audio Hijack Pro and then mixing them together later in Garageband.

My 5th Podcast was Episode 1.75 where I took what I had done in Show #4 and added in the extra element of recording someone over the internet but we had some problems locally and with Skype and ran into some volume issues with Skype and Jason was stupid and kept moving the mic around so we get all this "wind noise". The show could have been really great and I keep thinking about releasing a exclusive CD and have that on there as a bonus.

My 6th Podcast will be building on what we learned before and we are going to be trying a 3 person show again but the other 2 people will be remote out there on the internet and they will be recording their own feed and sending it to me as a file later and I will mix them all together. Hopefully that will work in the ways when me and Mike tested this theory before I started doing this.

Every Podcast I try to attempt something new with the technology that has been presented in front of me. I will get this all worked out soon enough. This is all an experiment. This whole idea of podcasting is just so freaking cool. I really enjoy doing it. Being able to create content that people want to hear and get feedback and try to just get better and better. I thank everyone for the feedback and sticking with me through all these tests and ideas and love hearing from everyone!

Podcasting recording will be going down over the next few days with the Real Episode II, Elite Stranger Interview (Talk about my editing nightmare ;-)), It's just all so damn cool.

Have a good Weekend.
