Notes on my production for this episode: Recording: I used a Heil PR30 microphone and my mouth was about 1-2" from the foam windscreen. The mic was plugged directly into a Sound Devices MixPre-6 and recorded using Audio Hijack. Post-Production: First I had to de-plosive the raw recording because it had huge plosives on it due to my close proximity, even though I had a windscreen on the mic. Then for mixing I mostly used the Celestial plugin from Acustica (which is Free until February 14, 2020) as well as a bit of Fabfilter Pro-G gate and Vocal Rider from Waves. My thoughts on the final sound of my voice: Please note I limited myself to the Celestial plugin in this episode (except for the couple others listed above) so I could try it out in full. I like the Celestial plugin a lot but I would have liked to do more precise EQ'ing on my voice, and I would have liked to use its compressor a bit more gently and in conjunction with an additional compressor plugin. Also, the tone of my voice through the PR30 is not the best I've ever heard. Announcement: The start date for the next PES will be January 14, 2020 Did you learn anything from this episode?

Chris chats with podcasters and audio experts about their equipment, software and workflow. You will learn step-by-step how they are producing podcasts, solutions to common audio issues, and plenty of tips and tricks. By listening every week you will glean A TON of audio engineering knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your sound, not to mention save you a lot of time. Your host Chris Curran has a background in podcast production (Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, J&J, etc) as well as music production (Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Foreigner, etc). When he entered podcasting about 7 years ago, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a solid understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as the Podcast Engineering School, helps producers and podcasters reach professional levels of podcast production.
