PodCasting
A few of us on the ListServ at Sweet Maria’s have discussed the possiblity of creating a coffee podcast. I’m very excited about the whole PodCast format, and have been using PlayPod for some time (on the Mac) to listen to a wide variety of podcasts. I’m very interested in doing a semi-regular podcast, be it coffee, art, or whatever. I know content is what’s needed first, but I’m also working to develop the technical expertise and equipment cache that I’ll need.
I’ll probably do the actual recording and mixing on my hombuilt computer (Athlon 3500+, ASUS A8V Mobo, 2gb RAM, ATI 9600XT, dual Plextor 716A DVD-RW/CD-RW drives, Seagate 300GB HD, Water cooled processor, on-board 8.1 sound)
Anyway, I’m thinking about a Mic and Mixer to start, and to begin with, using Audacity
The mixer I’m looking at is the Behringer Eurorack UB802…seems to be very well reviewed. Still looking for a reasonably priced mic that is also reasonably good.
Anyway, it’s going to snow again here tonite, and it’s getting depressing. However, I think I’ve found a great reference picture for the next portrait I’m going to do, and I’ll post that pic up as soon as I am able.
