I figured there would always be listeners that were interested in the equipment we used, so I’ve listed them all out for you.
We record using Heil PR-40 microphones. These microphones are extremely well built and are pretty much the standard for Podcasting.
We need to hear what’s being said as we’re recording to avoid problems popping up after the episode. This allows us to hear any inconsistency when speaking. We use the closed-back Sony MDR-7506’s.
At the moment we are using the 12-channel Mackie 1202 VLZ4. We currently have no use for a more sophisticated mixer so this mixer works great.
We record directly to the computer using software, but also send our audio outputs directly to the Roland R-05 portable audio recorder in .WAV format as a backup. We don’t record directly to .MP3 because it can drastically reduce the quality of the recording. Inside our Roland R-05 we have a 32GB micro SD card inside of an SD card adapter.
This is the Behringer MDX4600 4-Channel Expander/Gate/Compressor/Peak Limiter. And it does all of those things. I’ll spare you the tech-talk.
Adobe Audition. I did my research between Audition and Audacity, and it looked like Audition was better suited for my needs.
