Changing directions!

Equipment! Can putting a podcast together be any more complicated? I guess it doesn’t have to be but I’m pretty picky about quality! Since I’m going to have a co-host (or guest host … not sure how this is all going to work out), I decided my equipment set up needed to be a bit more portable. Tee Morris of “Podcasting for Dummies” podcast and author of that thrilling tale, “MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana” turned me on to the M-Audio MobilePre USB Portable Audio Interface, which can be found at www.musiciansfriend.com, that has a MXL990 condenser mic included for free! So, I returned the mixer and audio card and ordered the MobilePre, another mic cable, a couple of mic stands and some pop filters. I’ll be hooking the equipment up to my laptop and podcasting will travel! I’ve learned so much about equipment that I think I’ll put my list of equipment on our site so anyone who is interested can take a look.
I have also installed Adobe Audition 2.0 and have started working with it. It’s a blast! I’ve learned enough to navigate through the basic areas of the app and do a little editing. Just received Adobe’s Classroom in a Book from Amazon and combined with Bruce Williams’ Building the pod podcast, I’ll be an expert in no time! Even recorded a little feedback for The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack’s show that they played on their most recent podcast! Jay said I sounded pretty good - like someone on radio … nice!
Still working with Rem on our intro/extro and bumper music! I have got to record a test file and start putting something together! This podcast is never going to get off the ground without some content!!!
