You want those bars to be hovering around the middle to 2 thirds of the way up. Make sure that the levels never hit the top or you will get distortion! That means speaking in a constant tone of voice. Record in a quiet area Finding a quiet place can be harder than it seems. Avoid things that might make ambient background noise such as refrigerators, heaters, air conditioners, certain florescent lighting, and of course other people. Also avoid large or empty rooms that might cause a small echo. This will give your recording unwanted reverb. Background noise can be good Background noises can create mood and help the audience paint a picture in there mind. But you have to be in control. Keep your voice recordings in a quiet place and then bring you microphone with you to places and record ambient noise you can add to your podcast. This will give you complete control over how loud and when the background noise is played. Scripts are good but don’t over script When some people read off a script it is obvious. Don’t be afraid of using an outline instead of a full script. Remember, this isn’t live so it’s okay to make mistakes, you can fix them later. If you do make a mistake then pause for a moment. Then repeat the entire sentence or statement again so that you can easily edit out the bad part. PRESENTED BY JONATHAN CAMPBELL PACER Center CHARTING THE C’S 2010 I have a nice microphone but it doesn’t work with my computer High quality stand alone microphones can offer you unparalleled audio quality, but there are two things you need to know to make sure they will work with your computer. First most high quality microphones use an XLR cable or have a 1/4” jack which doesn’t fit into your typical computer. You can buy an adapter from Computer places like radio shack but that brings us to the second thing you should microphone jack vs. 1/4” Jack know. Many high quality microphones use phantom power. What that means is the microphone needs some extra electricity to work properly. XLR Cable Adapter The little microphone jack on computers doesn’t supply that power so that means you will end up with poor or very faint recordings. To supply the power the microphone needs you will need a “audio interface.” These interfaces plug into the USB or Firewire port on your computer and supply the microphone with the extra juice it needs. You might also buy an audio interface if M-audio Fast Track USB Audio Interface you want to plug in multiple microphones to record at the same time.

  • Ibank Mobileme Sync
    iBank Mobile: Setting up Manual Sync via MobileMe Overview This manual will walk you through manually setting up iBank and iBank Mobile to talk to each other through your MobileMe account. The manual setup method must be used if your iPhone is not connected to the same local network as the Mac running iBank. If your iPhone IS on the same local network as your Mac, we recommend instead using the automatic setup covered in the iBank user manual. For these purposes, the local network means a wireless network such as the kind created by an Airport, Linksys, or similar kind of router. MobileMe Setup The syncing method detailed here requires that you are subscribed to Appleʼs MobileMe online service. This service is not provided or supported by IGG Software. IBank is simply one of the many great programs that can make use of the service to exchange data between your computer and your iPhone. If you are not set up with MobileMe, open your browser and visit http://me.com to sign up. A free trial is available, after which you pay Apple a yearly subscription fee. Terms and conditions are subject to change according to Appleʼs product policy. Going forward, we assume you have signed up for MobileMe, and you know your MobileMe username and password. In this document, I use my own username, jstaloff, as an example; you should use your own instead. 1 IGG SOFTWARE, LLC iBank Mobile: Setting up Manual Sync via MobileMe Configuring your Mac to connect to your MobileMe account Open your System Preferences (under the Apple Menu), and click the icon for MobileMe.

  • Podcasting As Public Media: the Future of U.S
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 1683–1704 1932–8036/20200005 Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs, and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the United States that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. The article concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the United States maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but there are also underappreciated threats to it, both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes a commercially viable part of the media landscape, are its public service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing not only a range of podcasting practices, but also an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, and one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on Patricia Aufderheide: [email protected] David Lieberman: [email protected] Atika Alkhallouf: [email protected] Jiji Majiri Ugboma: [email protected] Date submitted: 2019‒09‒27 Copyright © 2020 (Patricia Aufderheide, David Lieberman, Atika Alkhallouf, and Jiji Majiri Ugboma).

Some research has investigated motivations of podcasters and listeners using quantitive methods. However, little is known about perspectives of podcast users and producers with respect to technological and cultural changes in the medium. This dissertation outlines findings from interviews conducted with podcast users and a podcast producer that lays out thoughts about the medium on themes like technology, production, distribution etc. Page !3 of !79 Introduction Podcasting, an automated subscription-based system of recorded audio/video content powered by the internet, finds its origins in the early 2000s and witnessed wide adoption in 2005. This makes podcasting older than Facebook or Twitter, two very popular products of the internet age. Although, podcasting has not been able to replicate the same success as those social networking sites, it has had a few pivotal moments that left an indelible impact on the digital media industry.
