Studio

I'm converting Studio to a "video podcast" to better demonstrate some of the tips and techniques I have to share. This decision came after feedback from listeners, close friends and even family weighed in. So, editing month will continue but instead of being an audio only presentation I'll be able to visually show you some tips and tricks for editing your podcast. Expect more news in this feed on how you can access the videos sometime in the next 2 weeks! And if video isn't your thing, that's okay too! As I continue to refine my content and its delivery, I just feel like this move is the best way to accomplish my goals with Studio. If you have feedback, comments or ideas about the new video format, please feel free to share them with me!

It's editing month on Studio, which means we're going to be talking about anything and everything involved with editing your podcast - including the benefits of editing, what counts as editing, and some of the tools you might use to edit. We’ll then continue the series on editing in subsequent shows by pointing out great examples of editing and I hope to have a couple of interviews for you with professional podcast editors to learn a little more about how and why they do what they do!

After a 2 week hiatus due to a studio renovation I'm back with another episode of Studio! Today I talk to Geoff Manchester, an award-winning composer, mixing and mastering engineer, as well as product specialist at iZotope. Geoff shares with us some tips and tricks for getting a great recorded vocal for your podcast, as well as introduces us to some plugins available from iZotope to clean up your recordings, mix them and add that finishing polish that makes them really stand out. Note: This is not a sponsored podcast for iZotope, I just really love and believe in their audio plugins!
