My guest is Aaron Dowd – Podcaster Success Lead at SimpleCast and host of The Podcast Dude.
Great conversation covering lots!:
- Shure Beta 87a microphone
- Scarlett solo – audio interface
- Logic Pro DAW
- RX Dialogue De-noiser and De-clip
- Loudness meter plugin aiming for -16LUFS
- Bussing all voices to a single channel and adding effects to that channel, which effects all the voices simultaneously — dialogue de-noiser (light setting), some EQ, de-esser, an RMS Compressor, and adaptive limiter.
- Editing in Logic Pro
- HD 600 headphones
- Using the Forecast app to convert to MP3 and add chapters. During production he marks where chapters will be, usually when the host asks a question, etc.
- Link to a tutorial on using Forecast and podcast chapters: https://medium.com/simplecast/forecast-by-marco-arment-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-why-podcasters-should-take-a-look-ba446ffa8a35
