Q: Is there an alternative to the Electro-Voice 309A Shock Mount?

A: Yes. The Rycote InVision USM works well. Your host has tested the USM on both the RE320 and the RE20 and the mount can hold both, and performs at a high level on both.

See The Rycote in Action in Josh's Studio.

S3E40: The 'Open Letter' Template - #30DPETC Day #30

Topic = In Today's episode Josh shares an Open Letter to the Podcasting Space.

.....

Dear Podcasters, if you’re bulk recording interviews with guests prior to your show’s launch - please actually launch the show and put those episodes out. (And if you decide not to launch, or simply the launch is delayed, please let your guest know what is happening).

Guests across the spectrum are becoming more and more reluctant to give their time to New Podcasts (regardless of the creators history in the medium) due to having so much of their own time wasted in the past - guesting on shows that never came out.

I myself was part of a local government Arts project in mid-2021 that took around 3 months to complete and deliver. The project has only recently been made available on the local council website and still isn’t available as a traditional podcast (as at August 19th 2022). The same way that I may have played a part in discrediting Podcasting, locally (within the arts community), your show not releasing Podcast interviews (and keeping your guests in the dark as to why) may be discrediting Podcasting, globally.

So again, please launch your show with fewer interviews in the can, and focus on growing your skills, growing your audience, and delivering better and better interviews over time.

Your Guests, Your Audience and Your Fellow Podcasters will thank you.

All the Best.

STOP Imitating Big Podcasters and Improve Your Podcast Audio - (004)

Topic = Moving, touching and handling the microphone is common in Big Podcasts, in particular those with a heavy emphasis on video. But for the majority of us Indie/Solo Podcasters, that much handling noise is just adding more work to your Podcast post-Production.

Perfect Tool - Imperfect People. plus Tips for On-Location Podcast Recordings (part 1) (003)

The Future IS Audio

01/10/23 • 11 min

Find DSP: https://www.deadsetpodcasting.com

Having the knowledge to record your Podcast out-of-the-studio is still an essential skill for Podcasters to posses in 2023. In today's episode Josh shares some tips for getting the best audio on-location, and being professional when out and about.

Tips for On-Location Podcast Recording Sessions (part 1)

Check your gear. And check it far enough in advance of the recording session that you can rectify any issues you might have with your hardware or software or both.
If you create a hardware/software checklist, actually use it!!
Be early. And be early enough to get over any issues or reservations you might have about the recording location.
Keep any potentially negative thoughts you have about the recording environment to yourself. Your guest or guests don't need to know you're stressed about the acoustic environment.
Don't be afraid to adjust the space (with permission of course) to make for the absolute best acoustic environment you can achieve in the on-location space.

In part 2 we cover clothing, jewellery, remote guest options, and much more.

Episode Production Chain (Main Segment) = Sennheiser MD46 > RodeCaster Pro II > Auphonic for MAC > Adobe Audition.
