Hungarian producer Kovary joins us on the Producer Podcast this week! Tell us a little about yourself and the type of music you produce. I’m a musician for more than 20 years. I was born in a small town in Hungary. When I was a kid I formed a rock band with my brother, we played blues rooted retro rock in the late 90’s. Originally I’m a guitar player. In 2003. I joined NEO, a successful Hungarian electro pop band. We made an original soundtrack for a famous Hungarian movie called ‘Kontrol’, directed by Hollywood based director Nimrod Antal. It was his first movie, and it was a huge success in Europe. The ost. won tons of awards, we toured all over Europe in the mid 2000’s. We supported bands like Duran Duran, Kasabian, Massive Attack etc.. Besides I started my own dj career around 2006. I was always into funk and disco. I play the mixture of house, funk, disco and electro, with a little French touch and techno. As a producer I produce nu disco/indie dance and house. How did you get started in electronic music production? In the 90’s I played live rock music. When electronic acts like The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers were topping the charts in the mid 90’s I was amazed by them, and started build my own home studio. I started to produce music on the computer around 2000. What is your DAW of choice? Cubase. I started on Cubase and Nuendo. Now I use Cubase 7 with Propellerhead Reason Rewire. Tell us about your workflow? How do you write a song? It’s very different in every occasion. In the past I always write songs on the guitar, now on keyboards. Sometimes I have a good melody in my mind, and I build the song around it. Sometimes I make a groovy bass line first. It depends on my mood. Can you tell us your favorite production tips? I don’t have. I love to try new things over and over again. I don’t like routines. Favorite softsynth? I’m an analogue hardware synth fan. I have 9 synths at my home studio (Moog Little Phatty, Sequential Circuits Prophet 600, Roland Juno 106, Korg Polysix etc) Besides I love Arturia softsynths, I have their analogue factory stuff. Favorite effect plug-in? I use UAD plugins. The best on the market. I love them. Favorite piece of hardware? Roland Juno 106. Roland SRE-555 Chorus Echo. SC Prophet 600. Anything else in your studio that you love? My Mackie 1402-VLZ3 mixer. Where do you go to personally learn and improve your production skills? I listen to a lot of music. Mostly funk and disco from the 70’s. All my favourite producers are from that era. I always try to figure out how did they do their job. Sometimes I read magazines like Sound On Sound and Future Music. What is the highlight of your music career thus far? I shared the decks with almost all of my favourite producers. Lot of them supports my music. I had a dozen Beatport Top 100 tracks. I played in front of thousands of people. What really helped your career along? Faith in music. What is the most effective way you have found to market your music? Soundcloud/Facebook/Beatport What is the best gig you ever played? This year in Budapest Akvarium Club, with 2many Djs (Soulwax), in front of 2000 people. What’s the best piece of advice you could give to an aspiring producer right now? Follow your intuitions. I always did that. Where can people find you and your music? https://soundcloud.com/kovary https://www.facebook.com/Kovarymusic https://www.youtube.com/user/kovaryvideos

Today we have Kenn Blanchard sitting in the co-host chair. Kenn is the man behind the Black Man With a Gun podcast, and is the author of Black Man with a Gun Reloaded. Dave has fun figuring out that spreaker.com is listening to the microphone, and not Dave's USB interface. That caused Kenn to be MIA on spreaker for a while.  Optimizing for iTunes [5:31] Keep in mind that nobody really knows what works in iTunes. I know that I can type in Podcasting and my show(s) don't always show up. People will use pipes like this  Podcasting name | key word | key word You can try this, but there is no real stats to show this works.  It would be better to make easy to remember links using the Pretty Link Plugin.  New Mixer [10:23] I purchased a Mackie 1202 VLZ3 off of ebay for $130. I could've got it new from Same Day Music for 2 payments of $135, but went for the used version (not sure I'm happy with that, there seems to be a slight buzz). The new version is the 1202 VLZ4 In researching this, the noise is from the iPad and it seems louder when the iPad is plugged into the computer.  Using Libsyn.com as Your Website [15:44] Bill from the ywampodcast.com (Youth with a Mission) wants to know what I think about using Libsyn as not only a media host but also a web site (for those who are on a budget). The Libsyn website portion has very little options for those who don't know code. You need to know HTML to to any editing. For me I'd rather avoid the headache and either get a Wordpress (self hosted) blog with a company like Hostgator (use the coupon code podcastcoach to save 25%) . Another (free) option is to use Tumblr.com which now can be published to directly from Libsyn.com   You can get a free month at Libsyn.com using the coupon code sopfree Mike Phillips on Microphones For People in the UK [17:30] You can find Mike at www.computer2know.com  Mike explains that there seems to be no service for phones that is 100% reliable. He mentions that Blog Talk Radio has horrible audio, but their phone interface easy to use.  Getting an ATR2100 in the UK. Mike recommend that's the Samson Q2U is fairly  The Heil PR40 is a nice microphone, but its fairly expensive by the time you get the stand and all. A better microphone in that price range is the RE320 from Electro Voice. It has a more accurate representation of your voice, and you don't have to be up on top of it (and if you are the tones don't change). Using Same Day Music you can make two payments of $150 to get this microphone. BSW has a package right now for the RE320 with a shock mount and pop filter for $399 (the pop filter alone is about $70 with shipping) Shout Engine Media Hosting - No Thank You [25:30] Shoutengine.com is a new media hosting that: Renames your files Changes the sample rate Provides an RSS feed that is invalid Messes with your ID3 tas. Mike is testing cloudpale.com  Too Much Focus on Making Money? [37:30] Mike mentions that there have been "Snake Oil" salesmen in every form of media over the years, and now its coming to podcasting.  Patreon Insights [41:53] Nick from spnt.tv has launched a patreon campaign and has 10 patrons already. This has inspired Dave to test the waters which you can see at www.patreon.com/podcastcoach Mentioned on The Show Start Talking and Recording Now
