There was a recent request to go over what equipment was used to produce the podcast. This is subject to change, and in fact, there are plans to rearrange it in the near future. Currently, the system includes the following components:
- Behringer Xenyx 1204USB mixer
- A MXL 990 Condenser Microphone
- A microphone scissor mount (Recently replaced a hacked Ikea lamp mount)
- A Pop Filter
- Behringer Shark FBQ100 Automatic Feedback Destroyer – Used as a Microphone PreAmp with a noise gate
- Behringer headphone amplifier
- Sennheiser headphones
- Droid 2 Global, which acts as a soundboard for voicemails, the opening music, etc, and could be patched in to add VoIP capabilities if needed.
- A UCA202, which provides the sound to/from the Skype hookup with Jere Jones
- An Asus TF101 Transformer on which the show rundown is read
- Tascam DR-40 Linear PCM recorder
A lot of this has changed over the last near 100 episodes, as more equipment has been added, and the process has been refined. Early on, there was a great deal of postprocessing on the show, now the show is released with a minimum of post-processing. The show can be edited and released in less than 30 minutes from the time it is completed.
Any questions?
