Mary Mazurek – PES 021

My guest is Mary Mazurek – audio engineer with 25 years experience, radio producer at WFMT Chicago including the “Live from WFMT” show, and instructor in the Department of Audio Arts and Acoustics at Columbia College in Chicago. 

Because she’s doesn’t host her own podcast show yet (coming soon!), she joined the show from her makeshift studio in her closet including a homemade pop filter using a knitting hoop and panty hose! 

We had an awesome conversation about many vital topics: 

• Trying out her new microphone – Shure MV-51 USB
• EQ frequency bands and how they affect the sound
• Fletcher–Munson curves
• Compression philosophy and tips
• Microphone choice
• Microphone placement
• Proximity effect

Thank you for being a wonderful guest, Mary!
