Equipment on its way and other thoughts …
April 18, 2006 @ Controlling Chaos from feedback@controllingchaos.com (Dina Henry Scott, PMP)
Adobe Audition 2.0 came in yesterday and I am just itching to install it! I’ve downloaded all of Bruce Williams’ “Building the pod” podcasts and plan on going through them one by one as I learn how to use Audition. I also purchased a MXL990 condenser microphone with shockmount, M-Audio 2496 audio card, and a Behringer Eurorack UB1002FX 4-Channel mixer. So far, I’ve made a sizeable investment; however, I am pretty committed to putting out the best podcast I can out of the shoot so it’s worth it.
I’ve been working on recording my voice to get used to the process. I had no idea this would be so difficult! I don’t think anyone really knows how they sound until they’ve been recorded - I sounded a lot different in my head! Rem tells me the equipment will make a big difference so I am looking forward to recording for the first time on my new mic! Will I sound like Kathleen Turner (not now … back in the 80’s) or just like Minnie Mouse? Hmmm.
Meeting with Lee today to talk details about the podcast. His schedule is pretty hectic so I am not sure at this point if he’ll be able to fully participate but maybe a guest host on a regular basis instead of every week? I do like the idea of not being a talking head by myself so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we’ll be able to work out our schedues.
Starting to jot down ideas for our first couple of podcasts - need to work on the format of the show as well as content. There are a lot of great podcasts out there! Listening to as many as I can to get a feel for what I think works and doesn’t work. I plan on being original but don’t want to make mistakes that could be avoided by doing a little research!
