Great that someone asked about this. This app is really useful and looks great by the way. 🙂
Hey Pat really enjoying the Tutorial series. Fairly new to podcasting. Do you have any links or videos on properly setting up a blog/web page. Don’t want to leave a crucial part out of the podcasting experience.
So what do you do podcast about?
Did you make the Garageband tutorial? I am having a hard time trying to get my voice sound pro. I got a good mic, but your voice sounds solid, radio style. When I use the Garageband effects (male radio, podcast, etc) it doesn’t sound close to yours. I have a “bassy” voice on its own, however, when I record, it sounds different.
In case you are not making the Garageband tutorial… any specific tutorial on youtube you would recommend? thanks
You are great instructor!
Thank you for simplicity

Thank you Pat for sharing those valuable tips!
Best tutorial on YouTube for Podcasting….nuff said
Great Tutorial, I love it, and I am so motivated now!!!
I have my own radio broadcast, and I am very interested in knowing as much as possible with podcasting. I find your videos to be very informative…thanks!
Really liked this video series. I’ve always wanted to do podcasts and this is really helping.
I really dig your style and feel less intimidated about setting up my own podcast now. Thanks so much for the tips man!
I have to disagree with the audio tips portion of this video. Recording as “hot” (not going into red) as possible is an old way if thinking. If you’re running a condenser or dynamic microphone you could record at just about any level and the quality won’t suffer. The reasoning behind recording hot is to keep the “noise” floor down (static white noise caused by circuitry issues). Today’s recording doesn’t suffer from high noise floors anymore (unless your recording from and through analog). You should instead talk about compression. That will insure that your voice remains consistent even when moving away from the microphone. Jus an additional tip from an audio engineer, cheers!
Interesting insight, thanks for this!
Agreed. It’s so easy to do a little bit of compression in many programs! While you don’t want to overdo it, people are so used to the sound of compression in professionally produced audio that if anything it tends to sounds more polished/professional.
This is correct.
Thanks heaps buddy. I have lots to share but am struggling with the whole presentation part. I’m in the middle of a new tutorial and I was going down the over editing path. It was becomeing such a boring process that I had lost interest. I think I’ll go for a warts and all presentation with as you say a few edits of large mistakes. You didnt mention notes. Another problem is that my notes have become word for word scripts. It makes me sound like a robot. I’m considering just using point notes, even though that scares me 🙂
Thanks for your input.
Wow! Very impressive! Have you done a video for what software you are using to teach your videos? I love your notebook templates. Is there a way I learn how to do this as well?
Thank you for these tips and the video series Pat! Very generous and helpful of you.
