Choose the Right Microphone for Great Audio

January 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Have you ever listened to an audio recording or screen capture audio that was crystal clear and had a booming voice? Did you wonder how you to chose the right microphone to create that kind of audio?

Well….Mark Monciardini produced an awesome video along with a blog post filled with resources that will help anyone get better quality audio for their podcasts and screencasts.

First I really hate to listen to myself, but after I get by that, I’m always depressed by the quality of audio that I produce in either podcasts or screencasts. I always knew that I really needed to know how to chose the right microphone.

girl_video_camera_535px.jpgI know the quality of audio can be much better that what I now produce, but I really didn’t know how to go about finding it. Afterall I bought the most expensive headphone and microphone combination I could find. Also, I messed with every audio recording setting I could discover…..kind of like a 5th graded pushing all the buttons on your stero amplifier.

I’ve listened to Mike Stewart the internet audio guy and got some great tips from him, I know he also sells top end equipment needed to get the great professional sounding audio.

Here’s the issue…..I know that if even I, have great equipment my voice will sound 100% better.

Well, I got an email from Mark Monciardini telling me he did a video and blog post on how to get the greatest audio possible along with where to find and how to get all the needed audio equipment.

If you do screencasts, podcasts or other audio recordings…..do yourself a favor and check out Marks blog posts on choosing the right microphone. I know you’ll pick up a few pointers….and maybe even get yourself set up on a budget so you can get the components you need to create some awesome audio in your screencasts and podcasts.

Podcasting Tools

May 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Podcasting…..you need to do it! Podcasting adds stickiness to your site. Podcasting creates a following. Podcasting quality content will create a pied piper effect. Your visitors/followers will be anxious to see what you have to say or recommend next.

I need to podcast. For someone who might say, “What the heck is podcasting?”….Simply put, it involves placing an audio file on your website or blog. Some people like to read…some like to listen…and some like to watch.

A podcast doesn’t have to be a dissertation, in other words, you can take a 5 or 10 minute tip and turn it into a podcast.

There’s really no limit to how you can use this medium. Although video has become very popular, think of all the situations you can load an mp3 player with teaching audio that will feed you brain while driving, gardening, doing your taxes :(, ….name it. Audio in the form of mp3 files and/or podcasting is here to stay. I you question that statement, consider the radio.

I’ve heard stories from my mother and father….they grouped around pop machine sized radios waiting for their favorite shows to come on….listening with anticipation thru the static. Of course TV came along and has become a means to disseminate leftist propaganda in the United States….ya, ya, I know, leave the politics out.

People can’t buy large enough screens…so the popularity of television is unquestionable. Did you even really consider the programming that is avaialble? I won’t dwell on that thought….all I can think of are commercials for “Girls Gone Wild”

In my humble opinion, television has done nothing to stimulate your thinking. It does more to propagandize, lead and direct. Most movies and shows are produced for the shock value. In other words, they are completely useless for garnering facts that you can use to form an inteligent opinion. Someone, (talking head) does that for you.

Sorry for that little rant, but I wanted to prove a point. Despite the enormous growth of TV, I don’t know how many 1000’s of stations are avaiable……Radio still is alive and well, in fact…for thinking people, radio is flourishing.

Do you see the connection between radio and podcasting or mp3’s. All….simply audio. Words designed to teach, inform, direct and help you form opinions so you may determine your own direction……..That’s the power of Podcasting!

When I think of internet audio I think of Mike Stewart. The Internet Audio Guy as he likes to be called. Mike is one of the pioneers and he has the answers.

Another guy, Paul Colligan, has specialized in podcasting. He covers podcasting from head to toe. You can grab a ton of free information at his blog http://www.podcasttools.com in fact I ran across a post with a small podcast discussing podcasting plugins for your blog and socialbookmarketing sites. Here’s the link…. http://www.podcasttools.com/2007/04/24/podcast-tools-57-my-two-favorite-wordpress-plugins/

Pauls been around for awhile…..knows his stuff and I feel confident recommending him to you. I would find his newsletter link and join, you’ll get some valuable information.
