Imagine before the 20th century there was rarely any heart attack and no diabetes…With the American invention of that vegetable oil with multiple polyunsaturated fatty acids, heart attack and diabetes increased so dramatically that heart attack and Cardioid arrest is the cause of death number One.Before the people ate the normal animal saturated oils or fat and had only a few problems with the heart or cancer and with diabetes no issue.The same was true for India when the normal food was without any oil or fat… When the Indians started to eat that industrially processed food with vegetable oil… heart attack, cancer, diabetes increased so dramatically.After World War II the Germans were starving and could cover their calories only with animal saturated fat and oil… Again, very few heart attacks, and even very few cancers…In a study over 8 years, a group of people over 60 years old ate only vegetable oil and the other group animal saturated fat… Guess, the group with consuming vegetable oil had far more deadly than the group that consumed only animal saturated fat…,The National Health Association which was founded 300 years ago, recommends only to eat raw food and never eat any oil or fat. Their members had rarely any heart attack, diabetes, Alzheimer or cancer. Today the average American eats 80g of fat or oil every day, and is getting fat and sick with heart diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer and cancer… If we boil/broil vegetable oil, then the polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acid oxidate become toxic and produce Aldehydes like acetaldehyde that let us feel terrible. That is true for every vegetable oil, regardless if whether it is cold-pressed oil or the normally processed oil with polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acid; heated it up it becomes poison.Every unsaturated fatty acid molecular likes to be saturated and so it is a must to produce Aldehydes to become saturated. Frying in vegetable oil with polyunsaturated fat generates 100 to 200 times more Aldehydes than the daily limit set by the WHO…The industrially processed oil is in any case heated up over 200 Celsius and so poison.The coconut and palm oil are mainly saturated fat and so produce less poison if we boil them...If you consume the cold-pressed Olive oil and don't cook it, the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the olive oil oxidate very fast when exposed to the air and the monounsaturated fatty acid oxidate also, but not so fast by expoed to the air. The animal fat/oil is 100% saturated oil/fat and so cannot produce that poison Aldehyde.But if you eat more than 21g saturated fat/oil you increase your chance of Alzheimer's 3 times. What happens if the vegetable oil is in our bodies?In our body, the vegetable oil oxidates to an Aldehyde called 4-HNE that is the most toxic Aldehyde. And that is associated with aging, heart diseases, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.Even worse, if we accumulate the Aldehyde 4-HNE in our body we dysfunctional the energy support of our body-cells! And so, our body can collapse and die rapidly even we are not aware of it. Our mitochondria in the cells use food calories to create energy in the cells. The accumulation of the Aldehyde 4-HNE in our body reduces the production of mitochondria up to 5 times! And that leads to fatigue and many diseases, like heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, and death. Still, you can eat Avocados, Nuts, and Seeds… and they are healthy if they are not boiled/fried/roasted and if you don't eat too much from them.
In this mini-podcast, I tested a low-cost ($40) SPKPAL USB-C cardioid mic to record audio outdoors in order to learn if it might be usable to record a group (more than two people) podcast in a environment with noticeable ambient sound (wind, traffic, other people). The first half (about 3 minutes) of the podcast is the raw audio recording. In truth, I amplified the volume. However, no other post-processing was performed. The second half of the podcast is the same audio post-processed by Adobe Podcast Enhance. Generally speaking, I'm pleased with the sound quality of both parts of the audio (unprocessed and processed) and plan to use this mic to record an in-person podcast soon.
This week, host Jorden Guth is joined by Martijn Mensink of Dutch & Dutch to discuss how an old clock radio incubated a love of music that developed into a passion for good sound that evolved into a career in speaker design. During the course of the conversation, they explore Martijn's history of speaker development, the business ventures that preceded Dutch & Dutch, how the company's cardioid speaker design is transformative, and where the company is headed in the future.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re going to answer the question “what are polar patterns?” These are also sometimes called “pickup patterns”, and they’re essentially the settings that determine the area a mic will focus on when recording sound. To think about this visually, imagine your mic as a torch or laser. The area it shines light on is the area it’s “hearing” your voice. Most microphones you’ll come across - including the Samson Q2U - have a ‘Cardioid’ polar pattern which means they’re designed to record one person at one time. Other polar patterns include: Omnidirectional - for recording multiple people. Bi-directional, or, Stereo - for recording 2 people. And Shotgun - for a laser-focused pickup of an audio source that blocks out everything else around it. Think of a news reporter, chatting away in a busy street, but you can still hear them clear as day. Polar patterns are represented by easy to understand diagrams. For example, Cardioid is heart-shaped, whilst Omnidirectional is a circle. These are like birds-eye views of where the pattern is picking up sound. To get a look at these diagrams, and to learn more about polar patterns in general, head on over to http://thepodcasthost.com/patterns
Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re going to answer the question “what is a Dynamic microphone?”. Dynamic mics tend to be tougher and more durable than their Condenser counterparts. A Dynamic mic can be looked at as something you’d typically use in “live” environments, and rougher “on-the-go” settings. If you record live, on-location, or just like having a mic on you at all times for ad-hoc recordings, then a Dynamic mic is a great option. Most Dynamic mics only have a Cardioid polar pattern, however. This means they’re generally designed for single person use. We’re going to talk more about polar patterns and why they matter on the next episode, so make sure you’re subscribed on your listening app of choice and that’ll be delivered to you, automatically. Bottom line, though, if you’re using Dynamics for in-person interviews then you’d either need to get two, or, hold one in your hand and constantly point it back and forward between you and your guest. Dynamic mics are powered by whatever they’re plugged into, meaning the recording signal isn’t quite as strong as it would be with a Condenser. This means you either need to turn the gain up more, or, bring the recording level up in the editing phase. Either way, that’s going to raise the level of hiss in your audio. But, this is far from a deal-breaker, and often, the pros outweigh the cons with Dynamic mics in podcasting. Our most recommended mic, the Samson Q2U, is a Dynamic model, which means it’s durable, flexible, and doesn’t require a perfect environment to sound good either. That’s what makes it such a good option for beginners on a limited budget! For a deeper dive on this subject, go to http://ThePodcastHost.com/dynamicvcondenser
Perhaps it's a quirk in your 416 that sits perfectly with your voice. Is it an anomaly in your room that adds that special something to your voice, or is it where you position the mic that just has you humming? A signature sound isn't essential, but most engineers have one (achieved through compression and eq admittedly). There's no reason your home studio can't have one too.

We're your guests, Robo, Andrew and George. And I'm Robert. And you can get a good deal on a tribooth with PAP 200. And you should have Andrew and Robbo do your demo, by the way, and let's get on with it.,: Okay. It's actually trip 200, but yeah, nice work there, Robert. You missed your calling there.,Speaker B: I tell you what, jesus, you were.,: Looking so good there for a minute and you just fell at the bloody.,Speaker B: I think your job's safe, AP.,: Yeah, you call this a job? Really high binded. Now, George, you were telling us about an experience, once again at one voice with somebody who had a microphone that people were complaining about being broken, but it's kind of become his sound. What was the story?,Speaker A: Yeah, he told me that and again, I haven't heard this mic yet, so I would like to hear it at some point. I told him, hey, give me the audio and I should give him credit. I think maybe I shouldn't. Yeah, no, I should give him credit. It was Chad Fisher and he's worked with me in the past. I think he just finished building a studio, too, that looked pretty impressive. But he said that he's got a 416 or 41 six. That is sounding odd. According to folks that he has sent the audio to that know the mic. He has said that they were concerned that maybe something is up with that mic. And I said, did you buy it used? Was it damaged? Was it counterfeit? All those things could be true. He said, no, I bought it from one of the big companies. The big companies. And I said fascinating. Well, you could certainly reach out to them and ask them to give you another one and exchange it. Or you could look at this as a unique experience and realize that this is the mic that you're booking on and that people like the sound and you may not want to muck with it. So I said, literally, just engrave your initials in that thing. And this is your mic. It's your unique sound. And if you want to get another one because you want to have a proper one or whatever, a regular one, go for it. But this is a unique mic for you. Don't mess with it. Does anybody else have a mic with a quirk or character that they choose to keep using that you know?,: Yeah, well, I was going to say I won't mention the name because I don't want us to get sued or anything. But we've talked about this off air quite a lot. But a very famous American record producer has an AKG C Twelve an original C Twelve which was sent to AKG for testing when they were building the capsule which has now become the Austrian Audio Capsule, the CKR Twelve. Anyway, this famous record producer's C Twelve, which he absolutely loved, he loved used it on everything, was actually broken, but he had no idea that it was broken. He just loved the sound of this broken microphone.,Speaker B: That's the beauty of audio, though, isn't it, is that beauty is in the ear of the beholder. And if he loved the sound that that mic made, it doesn't make him any less or anything else. Just a sound he liked. And that was his sound. So good on him.,: I reckon if it sounds good, it is good, right?,: It is, exactly. Because nothing sounds the same and it's funny. People go, oh well, I've got a U 67 and blah, blah, blah. It's like does it sound like any other U 67? Probably not. I doubt it very much.,Speaker B: I don't know whether George has any experience with this, but I've had sessions with people who've said, pick your amazing multi thousand dollar mic, it could be any of them. They go, I've got a such and such, and you hear them in the room that they're in or where they've got it placed or whatever, and it sounds like shit. Well, I'd rather, to be quite honest have you got a four one six.,: That we can just thing is the room yeah, exactly. That's classic.,: Yeah, the room is key, but also it's like what complements your voice?,Speaker B: What defines your sound.,: And if you're.,: Working it's true, a mic is a very personal choice.,Speaker A: The room is key, but the mic placement is key. And it depends a lot on the kind of mic. I do find that the shotgun mic, 40 116 especially, is tricky to get the placement really awesome and the mic will change its sound quite a lot based on placement. Whereas a large diaphragm condenser cardioid mic will not change nearly as drastically based on the placement. It will certainly increase proximity effect if you get too close, but you can move quite a bit, side to side, up and down without a huge change.,: In the sound, without falling in different places of the pickup pattern. Absolutely. I mean, that's one of the things about a 41 six is you have to stay consistently in front of it because it drops I mean, that's the whole point is it drops off significantly as you get to the side. But the problem is that that's not linear, it's colored, it's different when you get it doesn't drop off evenly.,Speaker A: Yeah. And it has this weird pickup nodes on the sides of the mic. If you look at the pickup pattern.,: Or in the back, if you look.,Speaker A: At the pickup pattern, polar pattern, I should say diagram, you'll see it looks almost like a sword because it's long in the top, short has a tail on the bottom and these little things that stick out on the side. So it's definitely an OD pickup pattern.,: Out of interest. So if you're setting up a 41 six, if you imagine the talent standing in front of the microphone, where do you actually place the mic and what area of the person do you point the mic at?,: The nose, just above the plosive line.,Speaker A: I mean, the tip of the mic is right above the plosive line, but where is it aiming?,: Yeah, at the mouth, basically. But just keep the diaphragm away from the gush of air from the plosives.,: Because I've been to so many different studios where the 41 six is pretty well everywhere anyway in this business and there is no consistency with the way the engineers set up the mic.,Speaker B: Well, see, every engineer's got his own sound, too. Every engineer's got his own preference for where the MIC's aiming and all that sort of stuff.,: It kind of depends on where you are. If you're in a horrible sounding booth, then just get into it and try to nullify the booth compared to the ratio of your voice. And then you can just EQ out the proximity effect because the 40 116, being a shotgun, has quite a big proximity effect to it.,Speaker A: It's still a different it's still not quite the big proximity effect, though you're going to get from a large diaphragm cardioid because you can get so much closer to the capsule.,: Well, because the capsule is way up the microphone in the 416 yeah.,Speaker A: It's not near the tip. It's up halfway up the tube of the mic.,: Right. If you were able to virtually get your mouth there, then the proximity effect would probably be insane.,Speaker A: Oh, for sure. Well, if you use a Harvard cardioid or cardioid version of that mic, which would be the I guess they didn't make one, but the newer series, the MKH no, the is it called the MKH 80 series 80208 030-804-0805.,: It's probably like MKH 20. Maybe one of those might be similar to the yeah.,Speaker A: Or Neumann 184 or any one of those pencil mics. The proximity effect is massive, but you just have to be really careful not to pop the mic because the capsule is right there, really easy to pop.,: There is no filter. There's nothing there at all.,: Sounds a bit like you and I, Robert. No filter.,: Tourette's. Tourette's, Mike.,: Yeah, but it's funny, the 41 six, I've had them directly in front of me pointing, as you said, above the sort of forehead kind of thing, pointing to the mouth. I've had them pointing to the chest, I've had them coming in from the side, all sorts of different pointing to the chest.,: Chest, yeah.,Speaker B: Wow.,: I've seen people who do the side thing and the sort of nose thing. If you want to thin it out, you just kind of get it away from the mouth and a little bit more on the head and they'll get a little bit brighter for you. But I've not seen the chest.,: Yeah, that was years ago. I remember someone pointing and they had it set up in front of me and it was like basically probably about almost a foot away from my head and pointing down past my face.,: Excuse me, pointing at your chest?,: Yeah, my laundry is done. Yeah, pointing at my chest must have been so woofy. It was certainly bassy, that's for sure.,: I mean, that's the problem that you have when you have, like, a lavalier mic that's too far under the chin and you lose all the top, all the high end. You have to kind of clip a lavalier mic a little bit lower down, so you get some because if not, the chin creates an acoustic shadow of the s's. And the other detail.,Speaker A: I was in a booth today, one of my clients whose studio designed, and he has a 41 six and a U 87. And he says sometimes I'll go to the U 87 because I just kind of get mic fatigue working on a 41 six all the time because of its tiny sweet spot and all this stuff. And I said, hey, by the way, he's like, but sometimes I use that mic and I hear a little bit too much reflection off the console below and display next to the mic, et cetera, et cetera. And I said, well, do you know about the secret microphone that's inside of U 87? He's like and I said, Flick the little switch on the front to figure eight. And he tried it and he was.,: Like, Whoa, drop everything from the holy cow, that's crazy.,Speaker A: I said, now stand on the side and talk into it. And it was like he was blown away. I said, yeah, this is an entirely different mic and a different sound from the U 87 cardioid or the 41 six. Really, it's a third mic you already had, you just didn't know and try it out and experiment.,: It's a much softer sound with a bigger proximity.,Speaker A: It's more ribbon like, dare I say.,: I mean, the ribbon mics really cancel out the side because the problem with what do you call it, the figure eight on the U 87 is it's two capsules and they are a little bit apart, right? So they don't cancel out at all frequencies. But you get a ribbon mic, that thing is infinitely thin and it really does just vanish to the side.,Speaker A: But I'll tell you, you don't need it to fully vanish to be an advantage. If you have anything reflective below or to the side, it will pretty well kill that. It's great. It just focuses the sound. I was like, Check this out. And he was like, Whoa, that's really cool.,: You've seen those diagrams where they go through the polar patterns and you can see them continuous because people think of polar patterns as being discreet. But really polar patterns are a continuum from omni to cardioid. And then it goes to figure eight. And in there like your hypercardioid is kind of between a figure eight and a cardioid, for example, I think. And that's why the hypercardioid's got the node in the back. And so it's not like a good tube mic. If you've played with a good tube mic, the polar pattern is a continuous knob.,Speaker A: That's right, yeah.,: And some of the better pencil mics are offered in what they call the wide cardioid.,Speaker A: Oh, yeah.,: And those are very natural sounding. They kind of have the naturalness of more close to the naturalness of an omni with still some focus, some proximity effect. A little bit. Yeah. You can't avoid it, but yeah, it's like polar patterns are not one, two, three, there's an infinite number between the.,: Omni and but the thing I actually talk about polar patterns and stuff like that. If you have the OC eight, one eight and you get the dongle that patches into the back, even better. Yeah.,: You can play with the polar patterns on a frequency basis with that polar pattern.,: Well, you're talking about pretty cool. The other part when you've used the two XLRs but this is if you.,: Use the two capsules.,: Yeah, but if you use the dongle, the bluetooth dongle and use the app on your phone, it's not just like clicking from one pattern to another, you're just sliding from one pattern to another.,: Right.,: So you can do a mix of so I'm talking about yeah, which is.,: What I'm talking about. But even better, you can record both of them and then in your daw after the fact, you can play with the polar pattern after you record yeah.,: But that's if you're using the two USBs not USBs, yes, the two XLRs.,: And then you have to use the plugin afterwards.,: But the plugin different plugin. If you get the bluetooth dongle that goes in the back of the mic, then you get a plugin that goes on your phone and it just gives you the polar pattern.,: That's what it is.,: The idea is that if the MIC's up on a boom pole, instead of bringing the thing backwards and forwards, you can do it from your phone.,: So the advantage of that multi frequency polar pattern designer is you could have a booth with a problematic low end, and especially in a corner. Maybe it's the only corner that you can put the mic where you have enough space, but you can treat the low frequency with, say, a figure eight. Get the mic so it rejects the weird bounce back to the side. And then in the upper frequencies, you can open them up to a cardioid or a wide cardioid where it sounds more natural, gives you a little bit more space to move about without having such a critical sweet spot on the microphone. And you can kind of have the benefits of a figure eight where you need it, have the benefits of a cardioid and a wide cardioid where you need them, and really play around with the polar pattern to fit your exact need, instead of just having one polar pattern across the whole spectrum. And then you have to deal with the nonlinearities where you don't want them to be.,: It'd be good if you could actually use that thing post or pre print, so you could actually set and forget if you got a trouble. Oh, you can do it. I've never tried it.,: Well, you can just record both capsules and then you can put the plugin on there and design it away. So if you're always recording both, in fact, you could even do it where you could automate the plugin. So on certain words, if you go really low, you could even change the where were we parameters if you were really going crazy. But yeah, you can definitely put that plugin on a post process. But to do that and make use of it, you have to record both capsules separately.,: Correct.,: You have to use the two XLRs. But that's the whole point of that Mike, is that it is literally that flexible.,: Yeah. I still like the app, though, that I find really handy. Instead of clicking from one pattern to another, you can actually just slide across an infinite amount of mixtures of everything.,: Like the old classic tube mics.,: Exactly. Yeah, exactly.,: You say it's a great mic when you look at the price point.,Speaker B: Well, absolutely. And also we're talking about your distinctive sound. That polar pattern thing sort of gives you the chance to make as well, doesn't it?,Speaker A: Really?,: That's right, indeed.,Speaker A: If you use the Polar designer Bluetooth tool, then it's locked into that fifth setting. It has a magic fifth setting that becomes your pattern.,: You can set it yeah, it's in.,Speaker A: The firmware, which is great.,: Does it do it by the frequencies, too, or is it just by the so you have to use the plugin to get the frequency per frequency. That'd be amazing if you could bake it in there. And then you just have your own microphone, your sound, but still like what I was going to say, the price point of the eight one eight. And you look at it compared to like a U 87.,Speaker A: Actually, a better mic to compare it to is actually the Neumann TLM 170 R. And I mentioned that one because that one's come up a little bit more often. One of my clients bought one a while ago and she hasn't used it yet. And she said, I bought it because Disney uses it and she does a lot of Disney. So I said I was wondering why. So I looked at the frequency response of the 170 R and I saw it was definitely a lot more of a flat response. It's much flatter. And so they want that really just uncolored sound. But that's a multi pattern with more choices. The U 87 just has the classic figure eight omni and card. This one's got more inter, it's got hyper cardioid and a few other things. And it's not a bargain mic.,: 123456 no use. That thing is $2,000. It's more money used than the eight one eight.,Speaker A: It's still quite spendy on the Neumann in the Neumann lineup. And the only thing that competes from Neumann on price would be the 107, I think is what it's called TLM 107.,: But that's a single pattern.,Speaker A: I think that's the multi pattern one. They have a TLM series or is it a 104?,: The 107 is around at least used. It's around 1300 or $1,200.,Speaker A: That's a multi pattern, though, right? I don't see yeah, that's the multi pattern. It's got a funky little digital control joystick on it. It's really OD on the back of the mic.,: Is that how it does its it's.,Speaker A: Actually a multifunction joystick and that controls the pad high pass and polar pattern by flicking the stick around. And I'd say in terms of quality, it's somewhere in the 103 to 100 and it actually might be more like the 102 in terms of what capsule it uses and stuff. So, yeah, that's the only thing that's in any way similar to the 12345 pattern.,: It's about the same price point as an eight one eight, but a little more.,Speaker A: It's a bit more.,: Yeah, it's $200 more or so.,: Yeah.,Speaker A: So bang for the buck. That eight one eight is still it's outstanding. Outstanding.,: Yeah. It really is a killer mic.,Speaker B: I'm just looking at the Ma one. I don't know if you guys have ever seen that. It looks like a butt plug.,: Have you been using those again?,: Yeah, sorry. We can stop him talking out of his eyes.,: Sorry.,Speaker B: It was the first thing that came into my mind.,: There's the out.,: Yeah.,Speaker C: Well, that was fun.

Ever wondered what the weird symbol means on your microphone? It actually plays a very important role in how you use your microphone, and some microphones, like the Blue Yeti, have multiple options. So, which do you pick?In this episode, Eric covers this and uses the Blue Yeti as reference, since this is a very common microphone with multiples of these symbols. The meaning and context should be the same for any microphone though. Listen in to learn what they mean!Did you find this episode helpful? Leave us a review at www.practicalpodcasttips.com.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we're going to answer the question “what are polar patterns?” These are also sometimes called “pickup patterns”, and they're essentially the settings that determine the area a mic will focus on when recording sound. To think about this visually, imagine your mic as a torch or laser. The area it shines light on is the area it's “hearing” your voice. Most microphones you'll come across - including the Samson Q2U - have a ‘Cardioid' polar pattern which means they're designed to record one person at one time. Other polar patterns include: Omnidirectional - for recording multiple people. Bi-directional, or, Stereo - for recording 2 people. And Shotgun - for a laser-focused pickup of an audio source that blocks out everything else around it. Think of a news reporter, chatting away in a busy street, but you can still hear them clear as day. Polar patterns are represented by easy to understand diagrams. For example, Cardioid is heart-shaped, whilst Omnidirectional is a circle. These are like birds-eye views of where the pattern is picking up sound. To get a look at these diagrams, and to learn more about polar patterns in general, head on over to http://thepodcasthost.com/patterns
Over the course of this season, we've told stories of iconic plastic objects like Tupperware and Bakelite and looked at how this material has woven itself into our culture and our bodies. We've traced how we found ourselves in the plastics age, but what comes next?To help us envision the future plastics, we invited Pete Myers to speak with us in our first ever live taping of Trace Material. Pete is the founder and chief scientist at Environmental Health Sciences (which publishes the famous Environmental Health News) and Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. Pete has decades of experience in the chemistry of plastics, particularly with a class of chemicals called endocrine disruptors––a term he coined in the early 90s and explored in the best selling book he co-authored called “Our Stolen Future."We know the 3 R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) and explored the myth of plastics recycling in this season of the podcast. In this episode Pete makes his argument for a new set of R's: rethink, redesign, reform. Subscribe and listen to the episode on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, or anywhere you listen to podcasts.Have you enjoyed this season? Let us know on Apple Podcasts Trace Material is a project of Parsons Healthy Materials Lab at The New School. It is hosted and produced by Ava Robinson and Burgess Brown. Our project director is Alison Mears, and our research assistant is Olivia Hamilton. Trace Material was made possible by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Our theme music is Rainbow Road by Cardioid. Additional music from Blue Dot Sessions.

According to Mainstream Media, Chicago. One of the most often-overlooked details on a live stream is the most important: audio. An audience will stay with you through buffering, frame drops, and low-resolution video feeds, but if your audio drops out, then your audience leaves along with it. So how do you pick the right microphone for live streaming? There are several mic options to choose from depending on your streaming environment. On this week's episode, we sit down with Marc Muhlberger to discuss picking the right microphone when you are live streaming. Summary: Learn what got Marc started with live streaming Why is audio important for live video? Shouldn't the video be the #1 Types of microphones (condsener, omni-directional, etc) Condenser Keep outside of the screen Cardioid - great for courses, videos Dynamic Keep it near May need: Cloudlifter or Triton Fethead USB Beginner Marantz MPM1000-U - needs a stand Rode Podmic Rode Wireless Go - if moving around a lot Audio interface - Beringer or Scarlett Intermediate Shure SM7B Rode Procaster Rode NTG-3 Audio interface - Rodecaster Pro or Zoom H6 or Zoom H8 Can you share 3 situations and the type of microphone someone would want to use? Interview Microphone Rode Podmic (use a pair) - aim at person talking Rode NTG-3 Rode Wireless Go Headset: bio-dynamic DT77 Pro Audio interface: Rodecaster Pro Playing musical instruments / singing Microphone: AKG 414 Pick the right microphone for the instrument Headset: Audio interface: Online courses Microphone If you like the way you sound or look, you will go live more often Rode NTG-3 ($700 - 750 USD) Use a Cardioid pattern - picks up your voice and reduces background noise. Point the side that doesn't pick up sound towards the noise. Outside of a studio What are some tips that you would give regarding setting up your live stream studio? Find a room that is quiet Take a look at the angles. Avoid talking into a corner. Put up sound dampening material (a blanket even works). Put the microphone as close to your mouth. Get a good audio interface if you want separate. For video - Canon SL/1 ($150) or Canon SL/3 or Canon m series.

What we’re going to talk about in this episode is somewhat controversial because we are a marketing agency ourselves and we also write a lot of content for our clients. However, we believe that you probably shouldn’t use someone else’s help to do it. There’s a lot of things about your marketing campaign and marketing strategy that you can outsource, but creating great content requires the expertise and product knowledge only you have. Besides, average content brings average results, and average is what you are most likely to get with content outsourcing. In this podcast, we dive into why you shouldn’t outsource your content and how to manage content creation internally. Enjoy! Thanks for listening Thank you for listening! DID YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE?

In today’s episode, we dive into the idea that’s called “the 3% rule.” As business owners and salespeople, we all know how to answer someone’s questions and how to facilitate the sales process if someone is in the market and asking you about your product or service. These are typically 3% of people that are actively pursuing the solution. But what about the other 97%? Should we market to them? How do we get in front of them? And can we address all of them, or maybe some people aren’t a good fit for your solution? Enjoy the podcast! Thank you for listening! DID YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE?

We all use microphones all the time, but how much do we know about how they work? Is that knowledge useful?In this episode, I discuss the three main types of studio microphones, dynamic, ribbon, and condenser, and the three main pickup patterns, omni-, bi-, and uni-directional, and why understanding some of the basic principles can help you get the most from your microphones.
Mike Senior's Expert Tracking & Mixing Tips. Cardioid mics are tremendously popular amongst recording musicians, but can also work against you. In this episode, Mike Senior explains some of the reasons why, and illustrates how omni and figure-eight patterns can often give more useful results. See the Show Notes for further details.
Complete Show Notes: https://www.sounddesignlive.com/dave-gunness-passive-cardioid-subwoofers-fulcrum-acoustic/ In this episode of Sound Design Live I talk with the vice president of engineering at Fulcrum Acoustics, David Gunness. We discuss the improved gain-before-feedback with coaxial speakers, the cell phone material that helped crack the code on passive cardioid subs, and ground-stacked vs flown subwoofers.

Intro Today's episode applies mainly to Podcasters, but can be useful to anyone recording audio on their computer. I'm going to share with you my 5 Podcast Audio Tips that apply to you. We have a big giveaway that podcasters, or any type of musician will want to jump on right away. We're doing a Giveaway of Studio One Professional that sells for $399. 5 Podcast Tech Tips That Apply to You: No Wireless Don't worry about aesthetics over quality and reliability. Wired is better than wireless in almost every case. If you are doing any sort of live stream, it shouldn't even be a thought whether or not you're going to be on WIFI, or hard-wired in via Ethernet. The year is 2019 and a wired connection is still far more reliable than a Wireless one. Start with the signal Look up “signal-to-noise ratio“. In short, it's a measure of the level of the desired signal to the level of background noise. In recording, that is the instrument (your voice/or the instrument you're picking up), measured against the level of background noise. I see lots of videos where the speaker is pretty far from the microphone, similar to talk show hosts you see on television, such as David Letterman. Keep in mind that those professional studios have capability beyond using one microphone. There may be shotgun microphones, lavalier mics, and more! Make certain you're using a Cardioid microphone, especially if you're the main person doing your podcast. For basic, just-starting-out podcasters, you'll commonly see them using the Blue Yeti microphone. I did an episode called Audio Check, where I talk about how USB Microphones, such as this Blue Yeti are good for starters, but I still recommend XLR and a real mixer for seriously future-proofing your podcast. If your only option is currently the Yeti, this YouTuber, Hazel, has a great video that show some things you can do to get a decent sound out of this microphone. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIBTbRWuNG4 Stay out of the Red! When you hit 0db, you will experience digital distortion. Unlike analog distortion, digital is not as forgiving. Pop filter – however you want to do this, it's an easy way to avoid explosive p's. Some microphones, such as the Shure SM7B I'm I'm using already have a Pop filter built in. But if you have a condenser microphone, you'll typically want to use a pop filter. I've even seen some homemade ones, using nylons stretched over a coat hanger! You can avoid this manual labor, and buy one that looks professional for under $20, like this one on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Auphonix-Microphone-Filter-MPF-1-Diameter/dp/B00CFXH4S6/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=popper+stopper&qid=1558885707&s=gateway&sr=8-2 It's acceptable to use Effects! Compression with a 3:1 ratio, slow attack, and medium release. I could do an entire episode on compression, but I've included a link in the description/show notes for a nice explanation. Basically my goal is to make my voice sound more present and clearer for the main mix, without it sounding completely over-the-top. – https://www.uaudio.com/blog/audio-compression-basics/ Use EQ if needed. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio) The last effect I'm using is a limiter – http://blog.armadamusic.com/music-industry/how-to-use-limiters-limiting-explained/ Dive in and just buy a recording interface Don't over-edit It doesn't sound as natural or honest, in my opinion. If your Podcast sounds like a natural conversation, it can feel more relatable to the listener.

Matt is going to share with us his strategy on How To Build A Mic Locker which will work for the pro or home studio through a system of categorizing condenser mics that should help you intelligently build diversity into your collection, and avoid buying a bunch of microphones that sound more or less the same.

Dopo l'open call della puntata 42, questa nuova puntata si apre da subito ai contenuti liberi e aperti della Rete. Protagonista della puntata è Matteo Riso, in copertina, avvocato del Foro di Reggio Calabria, titolare del blog matteoriso.it dedicato al diritto dell’informatica e delle nuove tecnologie. Un vero avvocato tecnologico. La puntata prende spunto dalla mia domanda: «Esistono le password sicure oggi?». La sicurezza informatica assoluta non esiste più e forse non è mai esistita. Il 2016 e l'inizio del 2017 si confermano come anni neri per la sicurezza dei nostri dati. Sono stati registrati numerosi casi di violazione dati, furto di identità digitali, cyber attacchi. Nel suo intervento Matteo c’invita a un "cambio culturale” per la tutela dei nostri dati digitali. Sono lontani i tempi in cui il PC era un’isola felice scollegata con il Mondo: i dati viaggiavano solo tramite un floppy-disk, il cui unico rischio era lo smarrimento del supporto o che il contenuto si smagnetizzasse vicino a fonti di calore o si danneggiasse nel trasporto. Oggi la grande diffusione della tecnologia alla portata di tutti, ha aumentato anche i rischio della nostra sicurezza. E i primi responsabili della nostra sicurezza siamo proprio noi, quali utenti, che non poniamo la giusta attenzione alle criticità di sistema. Matteo mette in evidenza tutte le criticità di sistema verso dispotici mobili o servizi cloud. Parlerà anche di crittografia, social engineering, e delle brutte abitudini che hanno proprio gli utenti a registrare le password su post-it, attaccati al monito del PC o salvati come “falsi contatti” nella rubrica del nostro telefono. Nella seconda parte del podcast Matteo ci prospetta le soluzioni e fissare nuove concetti per la nostra tutela. Dobbiamo adottare tecniche di protezioni a strati: la crittografia dei file, le “passphrase”, pianificazioni pro-attive dei documenti digitali. Marco Pennacchini nella sua rubrica Mondo Digitale ci parlerà di "CardioId", il dispositivo che trasforma il battito del cuore in una chiave d'accesso ai dati sensibili online, è stato sviluppato da Mattia Borgna, Andrea Domenico Mourglia e Filippo Pairotti, tre compagni di scuola uniti dalla passione per la bioingegneria. --- Segui #PCTfacile su • WEBSITE: http://avvocatotecnologico.it • LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francescoposati • TWITTER: https://twitter.com/fposati • FB: https://www.facebook.com/pctfacile - - - Ascolta #PCTfacile su • Soundcloud http://goo.gl/OXBwGR • Spreaker http://goo.gl/zpWhkw • iTunes: http://goo.gl/4GGK0D • Stitcher: http://goo.gl/Eunj6v - - - Contribuisci alle pubblicazione delle puntate • Paypal: https://paypal.me/fposati/5 • Patreon: https://patreon.com/fposati E ricorda, viviamo il #futurodigitale

This week on Filmmaking Sucks, Manny, Mario and Lindsay discuss the variety of microphones, the different types there are, and which one you will need for your shoot. Mics can get extremely expensive, but you don't always have $500 to drop on one. My new podcast, Filmmaking Sucks, is aimed at all of the budding filmmakers out there, and the newest episode discusses the basics you should know when choosing the right microphone for your indie film, especially on a budget. Should you get a Dynamic Mic or Condenser Mic? Omnidirectional, Bi-Directional or Unidirectional? Whats the difference between Cardioid, SuperCardioid and HyperCardioid? We run down the different sound profiles each one has, and how to use them, so when it is time for you to build your sound kit, you will know what to look for. Your beginners tutorial to buying the right on-set microphone is here, so check it out below. This is the first half of our discussion on sound, with part 2 coming up in the next episode, and we will cover Production and Post-Production. You can subscribe to the Filmmaking Sucks Podcast on iTunes and Google Play, and please rate and review us! You can also email us at filmmakingsucks@gmail.com with your feedback, suggestions and questions.
3 Tips To Improve Your Voice Behind The MicrophoneBy Bill Griggs and Kingsley GrantPodcast by Friday is a show that helps people create their Minimal Viable Podcast (TM) by taking bold action to defeat procrastination and get their voices heard.Podcast By Friday Episode 163 Tips To Improve Your Voice Behind The Microphone Tip #1: Record yourself speaking and take time to listen to it. - you’ll be surprised to see how many crutch words you use, which if removed, could be an immediate improvement to your voice behind the microphone - crutch words are fillers such as Ahms, Uhms, it’s like, etc. These are used to avoid silence or a pause. - it’s a reflection of nervousness, which can be controlled. - with practice and heightened awareness, this could be drastically reduced.Tip #2: Sitting versus standingSitting leads to less projection of your voice. Being so comfortable in your chair, causes you to project less than if you were standing. - your body posture such as a slouch affects your ability to sound out words. Your diaphragm is compressed while sitting - standing on the other hand gives access to the air flow, which is how you sound out words. It aids your exhalation process. Speaking requires great use and management of your breathing. - standing allows you to project your voice a whole lot more.- some podcasters and other radio personalities have moved away from sitting behind a desk to a standing position while recording.Tip #3: Join a Toastmasters or similar group or get a speaking coach - one of the most long running groups that helps people on how to speak better, is Toastmasters International. - there are other groups that may offer similar opportunities.- outside of having a group, you could hire a coach or a mentor to help develop your speaking skills.Bonus Tip: Use proper breathing techniques: - learn taking breaths if you start playing before you take a breath you are going to run out of breath before you’re done playing. - use proper techniques in your breathing pattern. Example taking a deep breath and then expelling the air through your mouth pushing from the diaphragm. Remember, keep breathing, you’ll be fine and practice become permanent.We would love to hear from you, which one you found most helpful or already have in place.

I heard your Microphone episode today and would like to add some comments and additional relevant data to the valuable information you already presented.Everything you said about dynamic versus condenser microphones is absolutely true. However, each time you apparently were trying to say the word “cardioid”, it sounded to me as if you were saying the word “cardio”. They are similar words and both are connected with the English word “heart”. With physical exercise, we talk about cardio (as in cardiovascular) and with microphones, we talk about cardioid. I must further clarify that cardioid (with microphones) is a type of a heart-shaped pickup pattern which is somewhat directional. Cardioid patterns exist with both condenser and dynamic microphones. In fact, each dynamic microphone you mentioned on the show today has a cardioid pattern, including the ATR2100 and the SM7B. The AT2005USB (which is the black version of the ATR2100, and I currently own a couple of AT2005USB) also has a cardioid pattern. The main microphone I currently use in my studio is a BP40 (also dynamic and from Audio-Technica, which I reviewed here) has a supercardioid pattern, which means that it rejects sounds from the sides even more than a typical cardioid pattern, but also means that the person speaking into it must be that more careful to be on-mic as opposed to off-mic. I like the sound of both the BP40 and the SM7B. Both the BP40 that I use and the SM7B that you use are black in color, which I happen to like.

Computer modeling is a powerful tool for scientific inquiry when experiments are too costly, too dangerous, or simply impossible. Computational physicist David Richard describes how to build a computer model of a human heart, starting from an individual cell and then using data from an actual person to create a realistic representation of a beating heart. Learn some of the tricks and techniques used to combine the power of Sequoia's 1.6 million CPUs providing examples of how doctors and researchers may soon be able to use such simulations to investigate the effects of new drugs on cardiac rhythms or improve the success rate of complex surgical procedures.

Episode 148, June 30, 2014 John Melley on Marketing VO George on noise reduction on the mic side Dan will talk about normalization 0:00:44 Show opens 0:02:26 What is wrong with this picture? You CAN snowmobile the beaches of Puerto Rico. 0:04:13 Microphone choice affects exterior noise. George discusses. Band-aids are common, but if you can eliminate the noise from the source. Use a mic that rejects noise. Mics not good at this: omni-directional mics. 0:05:32 Cardioid mics are the most common VO mic tend to pick more of what's in front. Supercardioids and hypercardioids tend to have a more limited pickup pattern and will pick up less noise. 0:06:37 Shotgun mics are the first that come to mind that do reject background noise, but they're not miracle solutions. They pick up a “node” of what's behind the mic. 0:07:26 These mics are more sensitive, that means more sensitive to noise in their pickup patterns. So, positioning these mics is key. 0:07:56 George shows dead zone for his AT-875R shotgun mic. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT875R-Short-Shotgun-Microphone/dp/B000BQ79W0 He goes on to say it's one of the most affordable shotgun mics around $150. 0:08:39 Dan's mic is the CAD-E100S. It looks like a typical cardioid. It's a super-cardioid that reflects the style of a shotgun mic. See sample at http://alturl.com/6xq26 0:09:36 If you have severe noise issues, then you can lean toward a dyanmic mic, Shure SM7B for example. See sample at http://www.fullcompass.com/product/270444.html?gclid=COihtKqnpL8CFQGmaQodWU4A_g 0:10:12 This mic is designed to be used very close. 0:10:35 Another way to solve the issue is to use a ribbon mic and using it sideways and speaking over the top of it. This is just a way to “think outside the box.” 0:12:46 Dan joins the conversation. 0:14:16 Break 0:15:46 Question from Shelley Avellino: what mic would you get, George? He has never gravitated to the most expensive mics. He loves his AT-875R. 0:17:06 George asks Dan what his “if money was no object” mic would be. Dan has them all already! 0:18:42 Happy Canada Day! 0:18:56 Tip of the Week on Normalization (video). Dan's tip is to normalize after processing and to record as loud as you can without overmodulating. 0:24:26 George's approach is to normalize first, doing the processing, and then normalize again. 0:24:56 George says it's really a volume control. It's good for minor adjustments. HJe also asks about the role RMS normalization is playings See his Whittam's World (episode 34) about LUFs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tYNR1hjCio We could see an average RMS normalizing instead of peak normalizing. Be careful with RMS, stick with peak normalizing. 0:27:46 Break 0:29:10 They're back with John Melley from Boston. 0:29:55 John tells the story how he got into voice-over. He quoted Woody Allen: 80 percent of success is showing up. 0:32:33 John's tack on VO marketing. 0:33:27 Are you a commodity? What do you offer? 0:34:26 How can I get clients come to me? How to be the only guy in the room? 0:35:20 Dan asks how John does this. John talks about using your own story. 0:36:16 Part of cutting through the clutter is standing out with your product. Right Angle Marketing. Create a product that interests people at various conferences. For example, he was noticing a lot of work from dentists. How can he work with dentists? He went to a dental conference, set up a booth, and he was the only VO actor in the room. 0:39:26 Dan asks what kind of product was it. It's an infomercial. John explains. 0:41:16 How do you find these niches? Use your own personal story as a marketing tool. He'll send his story to prospective clients. It also triggers memories of things you've done that you have expertise in. 0:42:14 How can I make money now and raise my rates later? Create a product in an area you already have expertise in. Later you can refer to your body of work and charge a higher price. 0:43:46 Dan points out this creates products you can get paid for over and over. 0:44:16 There's nobody in this business who didn't do something else. 0:45:16 Dan asked John about sending out cards, referring to the EWABS marketing roundtable a few weeks ago. John said Thanksgiving is a good time since no one is doing it then. 0:46:31 Dan asks John about his webinar at VoiceOverXtra. It's on July 9. http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs110/1102478472127/archive/1117689104469.html John will go through the math of the business so you can really make money. 0:49:05 Harlan Hogan promotional message. Dan shows the HH headphones. You'll hear yourself as you exist. They're built to last. http://voiceoveressentials.com/content/vo-headphone.htm When you buy there, tell them EWABS sent you! 0:51:35 Questions from the chat room: Q: where did you go to college; A: UM Amherst. He enjoyed it, but found no closure in political science. 0:53:16 Dan asks about John's podcast. It's at voiceovermarketingpodcast.com 0:54:20 Q: Yes, where there's no competition in VO? A: the key thing is finding an audience you know about. John talks about finding your own niche. Once you have a product it should continue to work for you. 0:55:31 George talks about his wife's experience in photography and finding a niche in that, which turned out to be men in yoga. 0:56:29 John says “Riches in niches.” 0:56:56 Q: do you see a move to USB flash drives? A: John sees mp3 but if you can package things in an interesting way, they'll open it. 0:58:12 John knows a guy who was mailing his promotional material in a bank bag. 0:58:46 Marketing can be fun, tapping into your creativity. 0:59:28 Q: Does John sell his product online as well as at conventions? A: Yes, and he also uses endorsed mailings. He explains. It's all about the audience. 1:01:11 George asks about bobblehead dolls. Laughs followed by a discussion. He talked about Dan Kennedy who has a series of books called “No BS Marketing.” One sample: http://alturl.com/8x7m8 1:03:46 If you do have a list, do mail all at once. You should test the list and see if it's working. Crickets? You miss and then try again. 1:04:26 Q: Your blog interviews are too short? A: He's respectful of his guests' time. 1:06:04 Q: Do you market just marketing services or VO coaching? A: He does some with usually local talent in person. 1:06:59 Q: How do you find the right person to contact? A: John tries to network authentically. Connect with folks naturally. 1:08:42 Q: Besides your thank-you cards what else do you use? A: Printed, hardcopy newsletter. He gets comments and work from doing that. He had Jim Palmer, a newsletter guru on his podcast. Palmer gave data comparing newsletters and email reading rates. Write about yourself, what's going on in your world. People get caught up in characters and stories. Newsletters keeps you in front of people. 1:11:36 John loves podcasts. He uses his commute to listen. There's a podcast by Mark Melkoff called the Carson Podcast. http://carsonpodcast.com/ On this one you hear about how standup comics prepared to get on The Tonight Show. It's great marketing training. 1:15:09 Break. Voice 2014 featured. 1:18:17 They're back. 1:19:09 Announcements Thanks to the donors.
