    Preamps, Noise, Preamp Noise!

    See http://thepodcastersstudio.com/102 for complete links and video! Do you have more noise in your podcast audio than you'd like? Do you know what is causing that noise? Is it your mic? How about your studio or maybe it's your preamp...if you use one. I'm talking with Julian Krause all about the latter but of course we dive into many related topics surrounding preamps and noise, including: How to test a preamp for noise or find out what its noise floor measurement is. How the noise you're hearing might be coming from your mic (if it's a condenser) before it comes from your preamp. Dynamic vs condensor microphones. Several audio recorders to include the Mixpre, Zoom H5, H4n and H4n Pro, Zoom f8 and more. Microphone impedance and some of the standard mics you may have used or are currently using. And how the device Julian made works for testing a preamp and how to make one of your own. Comparing preamps to other preamps in terms of noise floor specs. And how not to test a preamp. Measuring noise levels (of a preamp) in software. Using low cut filters during recording vs post production. Gain staging—how to get the most out the device you're using cause the noise floor exists regardless of your recording level. Can you simply lower your level to lower the noise? Not really. You'll end up needing to boost levels in post production and the noise will then be audible because it was always there; you just couldn't hear it in your headphones while recording at lower levels.

    100: All the Podcasting Tips

    The first Podcasters' Studio that doesn't start with a zero (ex: 001, 099)! Episode 100, we made it! Thank you to everyone who has ever listened and helped the show reach this milestone. This is a mighty episode filled with all the still relevant tips from the last 99 episodes of The Podcasters' Studio. I relistened to every episode (that was painful) and culled all the tips that I thought would still be useful in 2017. There is plenty of good content left in each of the episodes, I don't include them all here but the tips on this episode are ones that you can take back to your own show right now and grow the show you already have or start the podcast you've always wanted. Most of the lessons in this episode where culled while listening to most of my back catalog of content. I scrubbed through all my past podcast episodes picking out those things that made me think I could of done it differently or want to change moving forward past episode 100.

    099: Lessons Learned

    99 podcast episodes is a lot. Hopefully, when you reach that milestone, you've learned a thing or two about how to make your podcast better. This episode is a collection of lessons I've learned over those 99 episodes. First lesson, be your own best critic. But if you're a creative type, you probably already are;) In that case, give yourself a break, create, learn, repeat. Most of the lessons in this episode where culled while listening to most of my back catalog of content. I scrubbed through all my past podcast episodes picking out those things that made me think I could of done it differently or want to change moving forward past episode 100. Here are the highlights or perhaps in this case they are lowlights?;) Get reliable hosting from the start. I had to migrate from free hosting when it closed. Not a shock since it's hard to keep the lights on for free. The migration can be a headache, especially if you have lots of episodes and it may end up costing you all the money you "saved." A how-to show, like mine, would benefit by telling the audience to listen in reverse chronological order to get the most recent info. Consider whether or not you may need to teach your audience how to listen. ...see the complete list  The biggest thing I've learned on this 99 episode journey is to stick with it! Yes, producing a show once a week consistently, is ideal but if you fall off that mark, don't burn down the house you spent so much time building. Don't stop. Produce more episodes when you can. Your true audience will keep you in their feeds. It took way too long for me to get to this episode and many times I've thought it was time to stop TPS over guilt of not being here as often as I should be or that I might not have anymore to say but I know that I still love the show and still love being a voice in podcasting so I move forward and give special thanks to everyone that continues the ride along with me. I approach this show as a hobby, its goal is not to generate the income I live off of, I don't need it to make any money, its nice when it pays for itself but through 99 episodes that hasn't been why the show is here. The show is here so that I can share my experience as a podcast producer with those of you who are also producing podcasts or are interested in doing so. There's nothing you could hire me to learn that I don't teach on this show. So with an approach like that, just keep going. It's better to have produced some episodes every year than to produce nothing at all. I might give different advice to a show that was a marketing tool for a business but for most podcasters, keep going, do your best and make sure your podcast is something you enjoy doing not something you feel like you have to do. And be proud. Just starting a show and trying is a big accomplishment that most others will never achieve. Sign up to the TPS list and never lose contact with the show.

    The Last TPS? How Do You Stay Motivated? iTunes and Mixer Updates.

    Is this the last Podcasters' Studio? No. But staying motivated after years of talking about the same subject will be a challenge every podcaster faces if you do it long enough. How do you stay motivated? In most cases, listener feedback and a love for the topic will keep the show going for as long […]

    TPS097: Cheap Gear, Advertising and Being Niche

    On this fairly opinionated episode, I discuss my thoughts on "cheap" gear, advertising rates, audience numbers and who your podcast's intro should serve. "Cheap" Podcast Gear Cheap gear is not the same as affordable gear. One I have a problem with, the other I do not. Gear that is made poorly and creates issues like noise […]

    TPS096: Multichannel Output and Input

    Recording multichannel audio is the best way to take total control over your audio. However, it can be difficult and/or pricey to achieve. Technically you can do multichannel with any mixer, even the cheapest ones. How many separate channels you'll get is a different story. On this episode I talk about how to use an analog mixer to […]
