In the last couple of days, I’ve been doing a lot of research on the hardware and software needed to produce a professional-sounding podcast.  Knowing myself the way I do, we can’t go out of the gate sounding like I’m talking into my microphone on my laptop.  So, ponying up some dough will be required.  I’ve been looking at microphones, audio cards for my Dell XPS400, mixing boards, recording & editing software … basically, enough stuff to scare me off from this endeavor.  I do not have any, and I mean ANY, experience with recording anything other than my voice mail box message at work.  Needless to say, I have a hard learning curve ahead.

I’m still reviewing my Podcasting for Dummies book and listening to Tee Morris’ companion podcast for the book.  And have found several other podcasts that are dumping oodles of info into my head at an alarming rate!  One especially helpful podcast is “Building the Pod” available on audio2u.com. I’ve decided to purchase Adobe Audition 2.0 as for my recording and editing software and his podcast is all about using Audition 2.0 for producing podcasts!  How is that for the perfect podcast for my needs???  I am going to look for another book that will help me understand all the ins and outs of recording sound. 

I’ve also purchased an iRiver to do my “reporter on the go” recordings … when (if?) I do some interviews.  It’s a good thing I love gadgets!  I would have used my well-loved video iPod but no one has released a microphone attachment yet for it! -( I understand Griffin Technology is releasing the iTalkPro but there is not release date in sight yet.  Can’t wait that long.

I’m also speaking with someone I met through Cliff Ravenscraft’s podcast to produce my  my intro and outro!  That is going to be really exciting!  I’ll have a professional-sounding introduction to a podcast that I don’t even know how to produce yet!  How is that for working backwards???
