A great podcast about audio recording, and site about mics

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

Following up on my earlier post about microphones, connectors, and sound recording, I just stumbled across and listened (in one day) to all five episodes of a great Vancouver-based podcast called Inside Home Recording. The website is spartan, so if you want to subscribe, here are:

• the iTunes link
• the RSS subscription feed (if you use another podcatching program or want to subscribe manually)

Anyway, hosts James Devon and Paul Garay do a great job of providing both basic and relatively advanced tips, tricks, techniques, lessons, interviews, and gear reviews in half-hour blocks. I just wish they had more than five episodes already.

The December 2 episode has a good overview of microphone technologies, and also recommends an online guide from Audio-Technica that talks about microphones, starting from the basics, in great detail.

The website for Inside Home Recording needs some serious work (show notes and some links to the podcast would be a great start!), but the show itself is fabulous, and you should subscribe if you can.
