Bryan Entzminger – PES 119

Great conversation with Bryan Entzminger, host of Engaging Missions and podcast engineer/editor.

We discuss his podcast production and quite a bit about his preferred DAW which he is quite skilled in using: Hindenburg Journalist Pro.

Here is Bryan’s Live Demonstration of Hindenburg Journalist Pro, and here’s a 90-day free trial of Hindenburg Journalist Pro.

Here are Bryan’s production details:

• Electro-Voice RE320
• Rolls cough switch
• Sound Devices MixPre-3
• For remote internet calls, I use a second computer (an old Dell) into the line in for the MixPre-3 using a hardware mix-minus in the MixPre
• I record 2 tracks right onto the SD card in the MixPre. I also run 2 tracks via USB into my MacBook Pro and record into Hindenburg Journalist Pro
• Voice profiler in Hindenburg can create custom profiles!
• For editing, I use Hindenburg Journalist Pro along with iZotope RX7 for audio restoration and Ozone 7 for mastering and a variety of Waves and other plugins depending on the need. I mix and edit in multitrack mode, export to WAV fully mastered but not normalized to -16/-19.
• I then bring that mastered file back into Hindenburg to level using the loudness matching and either convert to MP3 using Hindenburg or RX7. If I use Hindenburg, I’ll also apply the id3 tags and upload right to Libsyn from there.

Also, Bryan got back to me about the Hindenburg auto-leveling feature that we discussed in the episode: “I did several checks with the auto-level with effects and it appears my original assumption was correct. The auto-level is at the “region” (clip) level upon input – prior to ANY processing within Hindenburg.“

Thanks for sharing so much great info, Bryan!
