Anyone can do the beauty of podcasting. It is a rare medium that can be made as easy to consume. Therefore, the two do not do exactly in the same way. Potential podcasters have abundant hardware and software solutions, so the settings run the area from NPR Studios to USB Skype Rigs (the latter is the default in the infectious bottle).
This week, we talked with Jordy Avirgan, who co -hosted the “Summer Album / Winter Album” with the Frontman of the American Indie Rock Band the Hold Steady. Craigpin. Each episode discovers that Avirgan and FINN should discuss whether the classic records should be classified as “summer album” or “Winter album”.
Avirgan, who previously hosted the shows of Radiotopia, TED, FIVETHIRTYEEIGHT and ESPN, talked about his pot casting settings. Here he says in his own words:
“I always had a home recording setting even when I worked at ESPN/FIVETHIRTYEEIGHT. After leaving (after the beginning of the epidemic, I made the basement recording studio into my house. In fact, it’s actually a kitchen of the basement studio apartment, so there’s a refrigerator (not plug), sink and many cabinets.
“But I walked a lot of curtains, scattered soft stuff, and posted a panel to impress the sound. I think it is a cozy and pretty warm sound. My microphone is ELECTRO-VOICE RE27N/D, a studio microphone of $ 500.
“Obviously: I don’t make a re27 money. We bought this microphone when we hosted 30/30. I left ESPN three weeks before the infectious hits. I wrote an email that wants to return the microphone somewhere. I did not receive a response and did not write follow -up measures. So I kept it. This may be the reason why Disney stocks have decreased 20% over the last five years. It’s a very warm microphone, but it’s huge.
“When I am on the road, I can pack the at2020-USB+and insert it directly into the computer to knock on the tracking anywhere. Usually under the blanket of the hotel wardrobe, Ford Caster’s Natural Holdings
“I can run the microphone via Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to control a simple but powerful interface directly with a microphone level and computer. I always use Hindenburg to record a local backup file and store it in Dropbox. All roads eventually lead to Dropbox.
“One of the typical PODCASTER 101 kits is on the headphones. I have the Sony MDR-7506 for everyone, and I have a fair share of them, but I really like the NTH-100 headphones. They are a bit more comfortable, slightly thinner, and so far, Sony’s padding is inevitably inevitable, so the padding has not collapsed, and after taping, you will find a small black spot in your ears.
“Like many podcasters, I’ve been doing more and more videos recently. I have used explanations for several years, but I edit almost all at this point as the world of audio and video is merged. I create a social video of dialogue about “Then Day” and “Summer Album / Winter Album”.
“I am trying to guess the title of the New Yorker Cover every week, explaining the explanation and turning it in 20 minutes using my template. Description -I’m a big fan. It is a very versatile and recommended program that seems to provide trash for what PODCASTERS wants.
“I think I have to think about the amount of visual settings. I bought a webcam recommended by Wirecutter, but I honestly prefer the shape of the MacBook camera. In my background, I put a book to prove that I know how to read. The signed photo of George Mikan was a slight running on “Death on Wings,” and IKEA’s $ 28 fake plants.
“I don’t know that people have plants by blocking their vision. But I want to know that they are there, and I will always be there because of plastic forever. ”
