TPS Ep. 058 – Audio Post Production with Joe Gilder (part 1)

Thu, 24 May 2012 18:04:30 EST

Thereâ��s lots of training online for audio post production. However, most of the information is focused on mastering audio for music. As podcasterâ��s our main post production concerns involve techniques related to mastering for voice only. Joe Gilder is an audio engineer who masters music for a living however heâ��s also a podcaster. So I brought Joe inside The Podcastersâ�� Studio to talk about post processing as it applies to podcasting. Joe runs a great site over at Home Studio Corner where he posts video tutorials and articles demonstrating many of the same effects that we use in podcast post produciton such as compression and EQ. On this episode (part 1 of 2) Joe and I focus mostly on the things you need to do before you even open your audio editor of choice. Some of things we talk about are: The subjective versus objective techniques for working with audio Getting it right at the source â�� start with the best audio possible How a cheap mixer might affect your sound Obtaining a baseline sound youâ��d like to achieve by listening to your peers Software (audio editors) and their importance In part 2, Joe and I will dive deeper into the audio editor and talk a lot more about the actual effects that youâ��ll want to consider when post producing your audio.

A New Way For Podcasters to Get Paid – How to Get Kicked Out of iTunes

Mon, 21 May 2012 21:57:32 EST

Today we focus on a new website that enables people to pay podcasters, and we also look into mp3 tags and show notes, and we also look into the iTunes guidelines that will have you getting kicked out of the iTunes podcast directory. Flattr Wants to Help Podcasters Get Paid This is a new service (started in 2010) that makes it easy for people to "flatter". Letâ��s sayÂ I put aside $10 a month to â��Flatterâ�� people with, and I click 10 different flattr (http://davidjackson.org/flattr) buttons on websites.Each person gets $1. The more people I click, the smaller amount given to each. To â��flatterâ�� someone, when I visitÂ their website I will have to login to my Flattr (http://davidjackson.org/flattr) account, and from there itâ��s one click. In reading the idea behind flattr, the developers felt paypal (http://davidjackson.org/paypal) donations required too much work. Iâ��m not sure I agree with that. Flattr is integrated with dailymotion.com website, and also with the Instacast Podcatcing software (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=Ee5nlwqyAws&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Finstacast%252Fid420368235%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)for the iphone. Now users of instacast will be able to flatter the podcaster with one click in the app. There is also a setting in Instacast (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=Ee5nlwqyAws&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Finstacast%252Fid420368235%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)to allow it to flatter every podcast that the listener consumes in the app.Â I was informed by some folks at flattr that " podcasting is our most successful category, thereâ��s a well-known German podcaster Tim Pritlove (he has at least one show in English too) who has publicly revealed that he makes â�¬2500 (that should be over $3000) per month after tax. Oh, and for the Android users Podkicker Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.podkicker&hl=en) just integrated Flattr in a similar way." For podcasters using WordPress there is a plugin that will add a flattr button at the bottom of every post (or you can customize it). This was super easy to install and setup. (you can see this at the bottom of this post). The plugin also puts the flattr button in your feed (if you want). Their catalog is not very cast at this point, and as people sign up they are going to want to flattr people so you might want to sign up while this is still growing. MP3 Tags and Show Notes ID3 tags are entered into the media (audio and video) before you upload it to the Internet. I typically put a summary of the show (entered into the comments section). Also be sure to enter an image. Two software titles I recommend is MP3 (http://www.mp3tag.de/en)tag, and ID3 Editor (http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/) ($15 Mac). Show notes are typically a blog post where you should write about your episode (I try to do 300 words). Getting Kicked Out Of iTunes Her are the iTunes Submission Rules * Technical problems, usually the lack of episodes or the inability to download or play episodes. These problems can almost always be avoided by testing your feed using Subscribe to Podcast in the Advanced menu prior to submission. * Requirement of a login or password to access the feed or any of the episodes. * Strong prevalence of sexual content. * Use of explicit language in the title, description or cover art of the podcast. * Use of explicit language in the podcast when the tag is not set to â��yesâ��. * Apparent misuse of copyrighted material or other violation of third party rights. * Inclusion of offensive material, such as racist content or child pornography. * Misrepresentational use of Apple copyright, including â��iPod (http://davidjackson.org/ipod),â�� â��iPhone,â�� â��iPad (http://davidjackson.org/ipad),â�� â��Apple TVâ�� and â��iTunes.â��
