Welcome to "Getting Into Podcasting", my Podcasting page.

On these pages I have tried to list some of the things I have learned about Podcasting and all of the best links I could find for the beginning podcaster.

Along with links on podcasting equipment and information podcasts, there are links on Web design for your podcasting Web site.

TECH TIP

You can reduce popping and hissing sounds in recorded speech by using a Pop Filter. It catches the bursts of air that hit the unprotected microphone and can cause overload and distortion. A pop filter can be purchased for between $15 and $20 or you can make one. Below are links to instructions on making a filter.

PODCASTING TIPS AND TRICKS
There are plenty of tricks to reduce costs and give you a better recording. Here are a few of my favorite. Got a good tip? Send it to me so everyone can share.
Acoustic Mic Box

Mic Box with mic
A quiet room is hard to find in the average home. There are air conditioners, computer fans, and all sorts of background sound contamination. any sound dampening material will help. It cost me around $35.

Porta BoothHere is another cool and very portable sound idea. The Voice Over “Porta-Booth”

 


egg crate foamIt's not as good as the pro stuff but mattress pad foam will help deaden sound in your studio, and it's cheep.

You can get all types. In my experience, the type sold in medical stores for long term care patients is best.


Want a pro model you can buy? Try the Mic Isolator at zZounds

Mic Isolator

Or this one from Real Traps

sound booth

They both cost around $500 to $600


Lip MicColes 4104 Commentator's Ribbon Microphone is an expensive way to get good audio in a noisy environment. At almost $1000, if you can find one they are called the best kept secret in broadcasting. Find out More

Getting Into Podcasting standard buttonNo album art. This really only applies when submitting your podcasts to the various podcast directories and podcatchers. iTunes, for example, allows album art and more often than not people don't even take a second look at the podcasts without it. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, and you can even use your logo as the album art so long as it communicates something about the podcast.
