I am associated with another blog…it’s called wediabuzz.  It’s a group of people from GFOC (the Gazette Family of Companies) whom I used to work with and now work for.  (I am a consultant doing work for them now.)

We had a mission to help them out and build a framework for podcasting – it was fun.  It is not as easy as some people make it out to be – I really enjoyed it and had a good time.  It really reminded me of my “days back in radio” where we do all sorts of crazy things.  I remember using the studio equipment to make and record prank phone calls to our friends…what a great time.

Anyway – I volunteered to edit the podcast.  Man is digital so much easier than analog.  We recorded the podcast using a super basic Logitech microphone and my laptop running Audacity.   It worked OK – but the levels were all messed up and we need to look at abetter microphone for next week.  It would be idea to have a separate mic for each person – but then you would really need a mixer board and then a 4/8 track recording and pretty soon you’ve got a couple grand wrapped up.  I’m kind of more like the minimalist with this stuff…or maybe a better term would be cheapskate

It wasn;t my first time editting audio – but the last time I did; I was using a razor blade, a reel to reel and some skinny blue tape to put it all back together with.  Now that was some work – now it’s all about the drag and drop, and man do I like me some drag and drop. “I tell ya – these kids don’t know how easy they have it!” 

Stay tuned for more!
