love your tips…brand new at podcasting and starting from the beginning right now…great tips
I really dig your style and feel less intimidated about setting up my own podcast now. Thanks so much for the tips man!
I have to disagree with the audio tips portion of this video. Recording as “hot” (not going into red) as possible is an old way if thinking. If you’re running a condenser or dynamic microphone you could record at just about any level and the quality won’t suffer. The reasoning behind recording hot is to keep the “noise” floor down (static white noise caused by circuitry issues). Today’s recording doesn’t suffer from high noise floors anymore (unless your recording from and through analog). You should instead talk about compression. That will insure that your voice remains consistent even when moving away from the microphone. Jus an additional tip from an audio engineer, cheers!
Wow! Very impressive! Have you done a video for what software you are using to teach your videos? I love your notebook templates. Is there a way I learn how to do this as well?
Interesting insight, thanks for this!
Pat, thank you SO much for this series, and for all of the wonderful content you provide. I am so grateful for your work.
I just started a podcast, and I’ve just been uploading it to youtube. Do you think this is a bad strategy for getting listeners?
I know this video is old but the tips ARE so good 🙌🙌🙌 thank U Pat for your hard work and sharing this tips that I need to have with Podcast journey😊✌🏽 Blessings!
Thank you for that last tip. I’m just getting started and I caught myself taking it to seriously. Fun is what it’s all about for me! 😁
Agreed. It’s so easy to do a little bit of compression in many programs! While you don’t want to overdo it, people are so used to the sound of compression in professionally produced audio that if anything it tends to sounds more polished/professional.
This is correct.
