Podcast Recording

The main event for today was the first recording session for an upcoming podcast with Taylor Branding Co. David and I both loaded in around 11 am that morning with a good assortment of audio gear and backup equipment for the shoot. The podcast was done with both video and audio recording, so once ZF came in we started setting up the camera and the lighting along with the audio gear.

ZF had a great set of Lavalier microphones as well as a wireless system for us to directly hook up to our interface. David and I also decided to set up a backup mono mic in case there was any mic failure as well as a room tone mic to fill in any gaps. We used my Focusrite 18i20 interface, as it had enough inputs, sends, and headphone ports for the whole recording. We recorded straight into Logic, as it was the DAW most readably accessible for us.

David was also sure to take notes of what section was which, as there were distinct segments of the podcast. In all, we were there from around 11 am to 2 pm, so I would call that a successful day! The rest of my day included going over the audio we recorded and finding optimal ways to process and edit the audio if it was necessary.
