Scott Weingart – PES 031

My guest is Scott Weingart, producer and host of The EMCrit Podcast, as well as a physician (MD, FCCM) and Editor-in-Chief of EMCrit.

Scott is not your average podcast producer and we really learned a lot from him about his equipment, workflow and processing.

Also, I got to tell a cool story about a sweet monitoring trick I learned from the immortal audio engineer Andy Wallace from his sessions with (also immortal) singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley at Soundtrack in NYC in 1994.

Additionally, I spell out one elaborate method of taming nasty “P’s” popping after they’ve been recorded.

Here’s some of what Scott and I discussed:

• Shure 87A microphone
• Sound Devices USB interface
• The usefulness of a dog clicker!
• Noise reduction within Adobe Audition
• Hi-Pass filter
• Tube-model compressor
• Hard limiting
• Loudness Radar
• LKFS

Thanks a ton for hanging with us, Scott!
