1377. El Rode PodMic USB se ha convertido en mi nuevo objetivo de Ko-fi para seguir mejorando mi equipo de grabación y, sinceramente, creo que este episodio sirve también para reflexionar sobre algo que olvidamos dentro del podcasting: el desgaste real del material cuando lo utilizas prácticamente todos los días. En esta entrega os cuento cómo mi Shure MV7, un micrófono que me habéis ayudado a conseguir hace ya cuatro años, está empezando a dar señales bastante claras de cansancio, sobre todo por la conexión USB. Y claro, cuando grabas un podcast diario, trabajas con clientes y además dependes de ese equipo para tu día a día profesional, cualquier pequeño fallo acaba convirtiéndose en un auténtico dolor de cabeza. Lo curioso es que el micrófono sigue funcionando perfectamente por XLR, pero la parte USB comienza a hacer cosas raras. A veces el ordenador no lo detecta, otras sí, otras conecta y desconecta solo… y claro, llega un punto en el que tienes que empezar a plantearte si merece la pena seguir peleándote con ello o buscar una alternativa antes de que falle definitivamente en mitad de una grabación importante. Y ahí es donde entra el Rode PodMic USB, un micrófono que llevo tiempo mirando precisamente porque mantiene esa dualidad que tanto recomiendo siempre: conexión USB y conexión XLR en un mismo dispositivo. Para mi forma de trabajar eso es prácticamente perfecto porque me permite grabar directamente desde el ordenador cuando hago episodios diarios en solitario y al mismo tiempo integrarlo dentro de la Rodecaster Duo cuando trabajo con clientes o necesito hacer grabaciones más complejas. Además, reconozco que hay una parte casi absurda pero tremendamente satisfactoria en todo esto: abandonar por fin el micro USB y pasarme completamente al USB-C. Realmente es una tontería, pero después de años buscando cables micro USB largos, intentando enchufarlos del derecho o del revés y peleándome con conexiones obsoletas, sinceramente, creo que ya tocaba actualizar esa parte de mi equipo de grabación. También aprovecho el episodio para agradecer nuevamente todo el apoyo que habéis dado al proyecto durante estos años porque tanto este nuevo objetivo como otros anteriores, como las propias Rodecaster de EOVE Productora, han sido posibles gracias a las aportaciones de Ko-fi y a toda la gente que decide apoyar económicamente este metapodcast diario. Y es curioso porque muchas veces hablamos de grandes cifras, de grandes estudios o de setups espectaculares, pero la realidad es que muchas mejoras dentro del podcasting llegan simplemente solucionando pequeños problemas del día a día. En mi caso, tener un micrófono más cómodo, moderno y compatible con mi flujo de trabajo probablemente me ahorre muchísimos dolores de cabeza en los próximos años. Así que ahora comienza un nuevo pequeño reto: alcanzar esos 180 euros que cuesta el Rode PodMic USB y seguir mejorando poco a poco este estudio desde el que llevo ya tantos años hablando cada día de podcasting, herramientas, experiencias y todo lo que rodea este mundo que tanto me gusta.Podéis sumaros al KoFi y ayudarme a conseguir el Rode PodMic USB entrando en este enlace: http://alotroladodelmicrofono.com/cafeSi queréis conocer todos los detalles, o incluso comprar vuestro propio Rode PodMic USB, podéis usar mi enlace de afiliados de Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PzXaEF_____________El sábado 30 de mayo, la Sala Cooltural del Hotel DormirDCine Madrid acogerá la 3ª edición de Podnights Madrid 2026 en la que el podcast ‘¿Cómo ye la tu movida?' repetirá por cuarto año consecutivo.Tienes toda la info y entradas en este enlace https://www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-como-ye-la-tu-movida-en-podnights-madrid-1987453018479_____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Make a Logo on Fiverr Blackmagic Brings Fairlight Into the Live Audio World Blackmagic Design has been steadily building Fairlight into its larger production ecosystem, and at NAB 2026, the company showed off a major step forward: Blackmagic Fairlight Live, a standalone audio mixing system built for live production. Fairlight has long been known as the audio engine inside DaVinci Resolve, giving editors and post-production teams tools for mixing, EQ, compression, gating and audio cleanup. But this new version pulls Fairlight out of Resolve and gives it a dedicated live workflow, designed for people who need to mix audio during events, broadcasts, houses of worship, livestreams and video productions. It Looks Like a Console, But the Mac Does the Heavy Lifting The big thing to understand about Blackmagic Fairlight Live is that the hardware panel is a controller. The actual processing runs on a computer, with Blackmagic showing the system running through a Mac at NAB. That means the console itself is not a traditional all-in-one audio mixer with every input and output built directly into the back. Instead, your audio I/O connects through the computer using interfaces, virtual sound cards or networked audio workflows. The Fairlight Live panel then gives you hands-on control of the mix. That approach may feel different from a traditional soundboard, but it also makes the system more flexible. If your venue already has audio running over Ethernet, Dante Virtual Soundcard, AES, USB, Thunderbolt or another digital audio interface, Fairlight Live can fit into that existing setup without requiring a completely new wiring plan. Built for ATEM and Blackmagic Video Workflows While Fairlight Live can operate as a standalone audio mixer, Blackmagic is clearly positioning it as part of a larger live production chain. The system can pair with ATEM switchers, allowing a dedicated audio operator to control audio separately from the video switcher. That could be a big advantage for churches, live music venues, schools, conference rooms and production teams already using Blackmagic ATEM hardware. Instead of forcing one person to manage both video switching and audio control from the same panel, Fairlight Live gives the audio side its own dedicated surface. 10, 20 and 40 Channel Panels Blackmagic showed multiple Fairlight Live hardware options at NAB, including 10-channel, 20-channel and 40-channel panels. The larger models include multiple screens, giving operators direct access to processing tools and master controls. Those screens can show channel strips, EQ, compression, gates, expanders and other controls, making it feel closer to a traditional digital mixing console. Multiple banks also allow users to layer deeper channel counts beyond the physical faders in front of them. Plugins, Effects and Live Processing Because Fairlight Live runs its processing on the computer, the available CPU power matters. Blackmagic suggested that a newer Mac mini would be a professional baseline, while something like a Mac Studio would offer far more headroom. The system supports the same kind of audio processing users may already know from DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight page. That includes Blackmagic's built-in effects as well as AU and VST plugins from third-party manufacturers. For live production, that means common tools like reverb, delay, EQ and dynamics processing should be available inside the Fairlight workflow. More demanding plugins could introduce latency, so the computer and plugin choices will matter for larger productions. A Possible Replacement for Traditional Live Soundboards For venues already using compact digital mixers, Blackmagic audio workflows could become a serious option. Fairlight Live is designed to replace a traditional soundboard, but with one important caveat: you still need a computer and an audio interface or network audio system to bring signals in and out. The back of the panel includes features like XLR talkback inputs, XLR monitor outputs, Ethernet connections and USB for updates. But the main audio I/O is handled outside the console. That makes Fairlight Live less like a self-contained mixer and more like a control surface for a computer-based live audio system. Remote Control and Flexible Setups Blackmagic also noted that the system can be controlled remotely, including from an iPad. That opens the door for operators to adjust audio from different locations in a room, stage or production space. For live events, that could be especially useful. A venue could have the main Fairlight Live surface at front of house, while another operator or technician checks levels from another position. Release Timing and Platform Support At NAB 2026, Blackmagic said the Fairlight Live software beta was already available on its website, and the hardware panels were expected around the July to August timeframe. The system was shown running on Mac, and while Blackmagic's broader software ecosystem often supports Mac, Windows and Linux, the final platform support for Fairlight Live was still being worked on at the time of the NAB demo. Why Fairlight Live Matters The biggest takeaway is that Blackmagic Fairlight Live brings Blackmagic's audio tools into the same live production conversation as ATEM switchers, 2110 workflows and modern networked production systems. For creators, venues and live production teams already using Blackmagic gear, this could become a more integrated way to manage blackmagic audio without relying on a separate traditional console. It is not just an audio mixer in the old-school sense. It is a computer-powered, software-driven live mixing system with dedicated hardware control — and for Blackmagic users, that could make Fairlight Live one of the most interesting NAB 2026 announcements.

Make a Logo on Fiverr Telycam's Mix One looks like the kind of production tool built for creators who need to move fast, pack light and still run a serious multi-camera show. Shown at NAB 2026, the Telycam Mix One combines a video switcher, touchscreen control surface and PTZ joystick into one portable unit aimed at live streamers, event producers, houses of worship, schools and mobile sports crews. The big headline: this is a six camera switcher that does not need a full rack of gear to get started. A Compact Switcher Built for Mobile Production The Telycam Mix One is designed as an all-in-one production console. Instead of carrying a separate switcher, PTZ controller and streaming encoder, this device puts those tools into a single portable box. That matters if you are producing basketball games, football games, presentations, interviews or live events where setup time is limited. The form factor is small enough to fit into a Pelican-style case, making it a practical option for creators who need to get in, connect cameras, produce the show and move on. Six Camera Inputs in One Box The Mix One supports up to six sources, giving producers a lot of flexibility for a portable system. The unit includes two HDMI inputs, two USB inputs and support for network-based video options including SRT, RTMP and NDI-HX3. That gives the Telycam Switcher room to handle traditional cameras, USB video sources and IP-based production workflows. For smaller productions, six cameras is more than enough to cover a wide shot, close-up, scoreboard, host camera, roaming angle and presentation feed. Touchscreen Control With Preview and Program The touchscreen is one of the Mix One's most useful features. You can control the switcher directly from the display using a finger or stylus, with preview and program areas visible on the screen. That makes it easier to see what is ready to go live before switching it to the main output. It also keeps the workflow familiar for anyone who has used a traditional video switcher, while still making the whole system feel more modern and compact. Built-In PTZ Joystick Control The integrated joystick is a major advantage for PTZ camera users. With the joystick, you can move a camera around, adjust framing and control shots from the same device used to switch the show. One smart detail is that PTZ control is tied to the preview side, not the live program feed. That means you can line up your next camera shot before sending it live, helping avoid awkward camera moves being seen by the audience. Streaming and Output Options The Mix One also includes streaming tools, with options for RTMP, SRT and NDI workflows. That gives users multiple ways to send a production out to streaming platforms, remote destinations or network-based video systems. On the back, the unit includes HDMI program outputs, USB connections, XLR microphone input, line in, line out and dual LAN ports. The dual network ports are useful for failover or production setups that need more reliable connectivity. The Mix One can also run on PoE, which reduces the amount of power gear needed on location. For mobile production, fewer cables and fewer power bricks can make a big difference. Computer Companion App Telycam also offers a companion app for computer control. That means the Mix One can be placed off to the side while an operator controls the production from a PC. That flexibility could be useful in venues where the switcher needs to stay near the cameras or network connections, but the producer wants to operate from a more comfortable position. Price and Availability The Telycam Mix One is expected to launch in June with a price of $1,999. For a portable production system that combines a six camera switcher, PTZ joystick, touchscreen interface, streaming tools and multiple input types, that price puts it in an interesting spot for creators and small production teams who want a compact live workflow without building out a larger control rig. First Impression The Telycam Mix One feels like a practical tool for real-world productions. It is not just a switcher. It is a portable control center for multi-camera live video, especially if your workflow already includes PTZ cameras and network-based video. For creators producing sports, events, presentations or on-location streams, this could be a strong all-in-one option. The portability, six-source support, built-in joystick and streaming features make the Telycam mix one worth watching as it gets closer to release.

En este podcast te cuento algo que pensaba que nunca me iba a pasar… se ha roto mi Sony A7 IV en pleno trabajo. Estábamos cubriendo un evento de Champions Burger en Barcelona cuando la cámara empezó a dar error, hizo un ruido rarísimo en el obturador y dejó de funcionar por completo. Y claro, tocó improvisar.Te explico qué pasó, qué error me apareció en pantalla, por qué creo que el problema puede estar en el obturador o en la cortinilla de protección del sensor, y cómo conseguí salvar el trabajo haciendo foto y vídeo híbrido con la Sony FX2.Además, aprovecho para enseñarte el equipo real que usé en el evento:Sony FX2, Sony A7C II, Sony A7 IV, Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8, Sony 24-70 GM II, interfaz de audio XLR, micrófono Rode NTG4, filtros Black Mist, luz portátil y hasta la solución que vamos a usar para hacer un plano tipo dron sin dron.También reflexiono sobre algo importante para cualquiera que trabaje en fotografía o vídeo profesional:¿Hay que llevar siempre una cámara de backup?Yo era de los que pensaban que nunca hacía falta… hasta que pasó.Si trabajas en eventos, fotografía lifestyle, vídeo híbrido, bodas, contenido para marcas o creación audiovisual, este episodio te va a interesar mucho porque aquí hablo desde la experiencia real, sin postureo y con lo que de verdad pasa cuando estás en faena.Déjame en comentarios:¿Te ha pasado alguna vez algo parecido con Sony?¿Llevas siempre cámara de respaldo?¿Tienes activada la opción de cerrar la cortinilla al apagar la cámara?#SonyA7IV #SonyFX2 #FotografiaEventos #VideoHibrido #SonyAlpha #ChampionsBurger #PodcastFotografia #ObturadorSony #EquipoAudiovisual #BlackMist**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotok.es/?aff=y206⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠___________________WEBS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rubengabelli.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotografodecomida.es⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli

What's better for a brisk, sunny 1st of April than taking a great big look back at music we featured in the respective “best-of-year-in-review” St. John's Picks episodes from 2019-2025?

Special thanks to St. Jodee, St. August, and St. Wyatt for joining me in the outro. Intro was recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp for superior sound quality. Outro was recorded on AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser microphone for better ability to pick up sounds further away from the mic (important when capturing four different people standing or sitting varying distances away from it). All were recorded using the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux Pt 2 releases simultaneously to Pt 1.

Part 2 of a 2 part series.   Okay, pt 1 turned out to be a backwards episode after all, didn't it (who could've predicted?!) But that doesn't mean that pt 2 has to be that too, right? Maybe pt 2 will be about VGM which uses the fibonacci sequence to reinforce fourier operations in Fortnite. Or maybe a sob story about how a chip shortage on the YM2612 is resulting in poachers hunting and killing Sega Genesis…es… to harvest their YM2612 chips for boutique jewelry. Or heck, maybe it's just the Excitebike soundtrack. I guess you'll just have to find out, won't you?

Special outro music is First time Setup from the Switch 2 - composed by Kazumi Totaka (and might I add, one of the biggest teases in the history of video games for Switch 2 adopters like myself who still missed the music-filled Wii and WiiU system suites and were given a little jolt of false hope by it for the new system).   Here is a link to a document which contains details (and links) on every previous NNR April Fools outing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2I0F04kBy4vEAKLAfY3QrIEHVvr9uOIuTJBepoI39c/edit?usp=sharing As well as this link to the spreadsheet I used to plan out these two episodes (apologies for the partially corrupted data. I'm not even sure how that happened). :-D https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVAx-IQdvs1gXuB0nA7bJX1yepXAx47fTb5Y5GsPNlQ/edit?usp=sharing NOTE: I had intended to pull from not just “St. John” episodes, but from every best-of episode 2019-2025, but ran into my 100 before even getting to the non-St. John episodes. I'll include reversed copies of each mixtape (both used and unused) on this spreadsheet as SUPER BONUSES over on Archive as well as “Backtracks UNBACKED” and “Backtracks - Back-to-Front”. So you can hear everything I heard in the process of putting this together.   Intro and outro recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp through the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux.    Pt 1 released simultaneously to Pt 2.

En este vídeo te cuento una verdad incómoda que muchos fotógrafos y videógrafos hemos vivido alguna vez: lo grande, lo aparatoso y lo “cinematográfico” vende, aunque no siempre signifique mejores resultados.Te hablo de mi experiencia real pasando de equipos enormes a cámaras más pequeñas como Fujifilm y Olympus, y de cómo cambió por completo la percepción de los clientes. Ahora, con mi Sony FX2 montada con jaula, monitor, batería V-Mount, matte box, asa XLR y varios accesorios de Smallrig, he vuelto a comprobar algo que sigue siendo una realidad: cuando un cliente ve un equipo enorme, automáticamente lo asocia con profesionalidad.**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotok.es/?aff=y206⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠___________________WEBS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rubengabelli.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotografodecomida.es⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli

Buckle up, Dadville, because Matt Maher is in the house, and he's bringing more than just hit worship songs. Ever wondered what happens when you walk into a college radio station, pretend to be Dave Barnes, and realize mid-song that your XLR cables aren't even plugged in?. Or how to survive "The Talk" with a 10-year-old using only tacos and a very necessary, panicked swig of Topo Chico?. We're diving into Matt's Newfoundland roots—where the ocean is actively trying to kill you—and why he spent seven years as a "professional college student". From "Star Wars cantina" radio vibes to the "golden carrot" of the music industry, Matt breaks down why restructuring life around family is the real win. Plus, we tackle the baffling physics of girls' volleyball uniforms and why his daughter is basically a "method actor" for softball. It's a masterclass in joy, resistance, and the visceral terror of letting go of your kid's bike for the first time.

Maono continues to expand its presence in the creator‑focused audio market with new microphones and audio interfaces designed to support flexible recording environments. The company's latest products emphasize hybrid connectivity, simplified monitoring, and durable construction suited for podcasting, streaming, and mobile production. At CES 2026, Maono showcased a lineup that reflects the evolving needs of creators who work across multiple devices and platforms.The company's approach centers on versatility. Many creators record on computers, capture content on mobile devices, and monitor audio through separate systems. Maono's new hardware is designed to bridge these workflows without requiring additional adapters or complex routing.PD200W Hybrid Microphone With Triple ConnectivityThe PD200W hybrid microphone is the centerpiece of Maono's new lineup. It supports simultaneous USB, wireless, and XLR output, allowing the microphone to feed multiple devices at once. This configuration enables creators to record through an audio interface while monitoring through a phone or capturing backup audio on a secondary device. The microphone includes a wireless USB‑C receiver that connects directly to phones or computers, supporting mobile recording without cables.The microphone is built as a dynamic model, eliminating the need for phantom power and supporting use in untreated environments. Its hybrid design allows it to function as a traditional XLR microphone for studio setups while also serving as a portable wireless microphone for on‑the‑go recording. The included table stand supports desktop use, and an optional boom arm provides additional mounting flexibility.P2 Dual‑Input Audio InterfaceMaono also introduced the P2, a dual‑input audio interface designed for creators who need multiple recording paths. The interface includes two XLR inputs with 48‑volt phantom power, supporting both dynamic and condenser microphones. Multiple output options are provided, including left and right monitor outputs, a camera output, a live output, and USB‑C connections for computers and mobile devices. A dedicated USB‑C power port allows the interface to operate without draining a connected phone.The front‑facing controls simplify operation by placing gain knobs, monitoring controls, and headphone volume adjustments within easy reach. This layout mirrors the ergonomics of larger studio mixers, reducing the need to reach around the back of the device during recording sessions.P1 Compact Audio InterfaceThe P1 serves as a smaller companion to the P2, offering a single XLR and quarter‑inch combo input in a compact metal chassis. It is designed for creators who need a portable interface without sacrificing durability. The P1 includes front‑mounted controls similar to the P2, supporting quick adjustments during mobile or desktop recording. Its construction and layout make it suitable for musicians, podcasters, and streamers who want a streamlined setup.Accessories and Build QualityMaono's microphone stands and boom arms complement the new hardware with improved stability and cable management. The boom arm conceals XLR cables within its structure, reducing clutter and preventing sagging during recording. The stands are engineered to maintain position under pressure, supporting consistent microphone placement during long sessions.The company's focus on build quality is reflected in the metal construction of the new interfaces and the reinforced joints of the boom arms. These improvements support long‑term use in both studio and mobile environments.ConclusionMaono's CES 2026 lineup demonstrates a commitment to flexible, creator‑friendly audio tools. The PD200W hybrid microphone enables simultaneous multi‑device recording, while the P2 and P1 interfaces offer expanded connectivity and simplified control. With durable accessories and thoughtful design, Maono continues to support creators who need adaptable equipment for diverse recording scenarios.Maono's product lineup is available on Amazon.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Our special year-in-review intro and outro music are, respectively, Results Theme from Metroid Prime on the GameCube, composed by Kenji Yamamoto, and Results Parade, from the Check Mii Out Channel on the Wii, composed by Kazumi Totaka.    Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) gaming laptop. Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!    LINK TO SPREADSHEETS:    1) List of every single track featured in calendar 2025 (which, despite the 2026 release date, includes this episode). 560 total tracks, 508 unique tracks. Also includes details on the offer to produce a "Best of 2025 – Listener Picks" F-isode given sufficient listener will and engagement:    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nXPBlCjKp2q0HKjmRG3JUPjLTfLpoRX24Wk2Os938hg/edit?usp=sharing    2) Spreadsheet showing St. John's journey trying to narrow said 508 tracks down to the just 50 track limit of this episode. Also contains info about a few Archive-exclusise SUPER BONUS episodes, which, combined, contain all 265 tracks in St. John's original "grab everything [from the 508] that sounds good" list. To see the details on the potential SUPER BONUSES, continue scrolling right beyond where it looks like the spreadsheet ends:    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12l6fdL71EV_ZdRmq-CK_JLvNPXM5b4J66kcvmlAQleA/edit?usp=sharing    You can also find all of our audio episodes on https://archive.org/details/@nerd_noise_radio as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.    We are now a member podcast as well.

From now on, when sharing episodes of Nerd Noise Radio, I will most likely use the Terra Player link rather than the Podbean link like I have been using.    Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:     https://www.youtube.com/user/NerdNoiseRadio    Occasional blogs and sometimes expanded show notes can be found here:    nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com.    Nerd Noise Radio is also a member of the VGM Podcast Fans community at     https://www.facebook.com/groups/VGMPodcastFans/    We are also a member of Podcasters of Des Moines at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1782895868426870/    Or, if you wish to connect with us directly, we have two groups of our own:     Nerd Noise Radio - Easy Mode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/276843385859797/ for sharing tracks, video game news, or just general videogame fandom.    Nerd Noise Radio - Expert Mode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/381475162016534/ for going deep into video game sound hardware, composer info, and/or music theory.    Or you can reach us by e-mail at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com    You can also follow us on Threads at https://www.threads.net/@nerdnoiseradio , Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/nerdnoiseradio?igsh=MWF4NjBpdGVxazUxYw== , Mastodon at https://universeodon.com/@NerdNoiseRadio , and BlueSky at  And we are also now on TuneIn, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Vurbl, Amazon Music and Audible!     But frankly, probably the absolute best way you can connect with us is on our new Discord Channel: "Nerd Noise Radio – Channel D", which includes various sub-channels for all sorts of different types of connection and conversation:     https://discord.gg/GUWdaXUw    Thanks for listening! Join us again sometime in the next few months for C1F1 (Channel 1, Finale 1): "The Diamond Episode - pt 1: "popular picks" (my best attempt at emulating a "Listener Picks" episode) focusing on Episodes 51-100, its sister episode, C1F2: "The Diamond Episode – pt 2: Personal Picks" (an unabashedly "St. John's picks" outing on the same subject), and a pair of relevant reruns from 2019 on the history of episodes 1-50 in a nearly identical format, where, between the four episodes, the entire history of Nerd Noise Radio – Channel 1 will be covered!

Avec des alternatives pour tous les budgets.CAMÉRA J'utilise : Sony A7C avec objectif Sigma 28-70 (~3000€ le setup complet). Pourquoi ? Retour caméra intégré, 4K, polyvalent pour YouTube et formations.Alternative budget : Votre iPhone. Sérieusement. Avec un bon éclairage, vous aurez un rendu largement suffisant.Mon outil préféré : DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (600-700€) Pour moi c'est LE matériel le plus résilient. Filme en 4K, vertical et horizontal, suit votre tête automatiquement, tient dans une poche. Si je devais repartir de zéro, je prendrais peut-être juste ça.LUMIÈRE J'utilise : Elgato Keylight Air. Révolutionnaire. Avant j'avais des parapluies à 700€ qui prenaient une place énorme. Maintenant, cette lumière se pose sur mon bureau, se contrôle depuis mon téléphone (intensité, température de couleur), et offre une qualité excellente. Rapport qualité/prix/ergonomie imbattable.La lumière est plus importante que la caméra. Un iPhone bien éclairé bat une caméra à 3000€ mal éclairée.MICRO J'utilise : Shure SM7B (300€) + Rodecaster Duo (500€) = 800€ le setup audio. C'est le meilleur micro podcast du marché selon moi. Se branche en XLR, qualité sonore exceptionnelle, étouffe les bruits ambiants.Alternative budget : Bird UM1 (60€). Micro podcast USB qui se branche directement sur votre ordinateur. C'est ce que j'utilisais avant. Tient dans un sac à dos, livré avec une trousse de transport. Pour du podcast, c'est le minimum recommandé.Pour la vidéo : DJI Mic (inclus avec le pack Osmo Pocket). Qualité sonore géniale, connecté directement à la caméra, son déjà synchronisé. Révolutionnaire en termes de polyvalence.ACCESSOIRE GAME-CHANGER Elgato Cam Link : petit boîtier USB qui transforme votre caméra en webcam. Vous branchez votre caméra en HDMI, et hop, qualité 4K pour vos formations, zooms, lives. Plus besoin de synchroniser audio/vidéo après coup.LOGICIELSGarageBand : enregistrement audio (gratuit sur Mac)Final Cut Pro : montage vidéo (300€ one-time payment)TELLA : l'outil que je recommande le plusTELLA permet d'enregistrer votre écran + votre tête simultanément (via Cam Link). Avant, je devais enregistrer ma caméra d'un côté, mon écran de l'autre, puis synchroniser au montage. Maintenant : un clic, tout est enregistré ensemble, je peux éditer directement sur TELA. Game-changer pour les formations en ligne.LE PRINCIPE CLÉ Plus vous diminuez la friction, plus vous créez. Si votre matériel complet tient dans une poche (DJI Osmo + micro), vous n'avez plus d'excuses pour ne pas créer. C'est pour ça que la DJI Osmo est mon outil préféré : polyvalence maximale, friction minimale.RÉCAP PAR BUDGETBudget serré : iPhone + Bird UM1 (60€) + Lumière basiqueBudget intermédiaire : DJI Osmo Pocket 3 pack complet (600-700€)Setup pro : Sony A7C + Shure SM7B + Elgato Keylight Air (~4000€)Tous les liens en description (certains sont des liens affiliés).

Send us a textWelcome back to Spectator Mode Podcast! In episode 209 we dig into big shifts across the gaming industry, including reports that the Game Developers Conference may be seeing a drop in international attendance and what that means for developers worldwide. We also break down the latest Xbox Developer Direct, react to the Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary announcements, and revisit Highguard and what its struggles say about live service games. To wrap things up, we tackle a big question: can publishers succeed without major media outlets as more companies go straight to influencers and their own platforms?**Keith apologizes for this crappy voice quality. Apparently, his XLR cable decided to give up the ghost and didn't tell him**Timestamps00:00 – intro01:15 – Games we've played recently11:08 – GDC losing its foreign audience23:48 – Xbox Developer Direct31:00 – Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary announcements35:07 – What's going on with Highguard40:45 – Can publishers succeed without major outletsCheck out our website for more great content - https://www.theouterhaven.netStop by our Discord channel and say hello - https://discord.gg/c7FPrj3MGjFollow us on Social MediaBlueSky-  https://bsky.app/profile/theouterhaven.netFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/theouterhavenInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/theouterhavenproductions/Support the showYou can find the Spectator Mode podcast on the following podcast platforms.

There are some people who are part of the fabric of the NosillaCast, piping up from time to time over many years to provide valuable insight to the show when a topic tickles them. One of these people is Andy Dolph, who's been sending in content and chatting with me in the background since 2012. You may remember a few years back when Bart had a curious failure with his microphone, and Andy gave us a tutorial on how XLR cables are constructed that explained the failure. After all these years, we finally decided to sit down and have a chit chat about his work as Special Events Coordinator for Learning Space Technologies at the University of New Hampshire.

Today is C1E100 for Theme Thursday, Dec 11th, 2025. Today is our final non-retrospective episode of Channel 1. We made it to 100! Today's episode is split into two halves: a) a massive pre-show that is actually about 18 minutes LONGER than the “episode proper”, and b) the “episode proper”.

She was a lovely person, and through these accounts, it's not entirely too late to [at least sorta kinda] get to know her! She was my mom's sister's daughter - and if I'm being completely honest, she reminded me more of mom than of aunt Karen. I suppose, in a way, she was the closest thing my brother and I had to a sister.   2) Links to C1E1 and C2E20!   I'll upload each this month as reruns. But meanwhile, here is the easiest way to hear them!         a) Link to C1E1:             https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/c1e1-press-start        b) Link to C2E20:               https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-2-nerd-noise-game-club-c2e20-all-good-things   Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface! The "Episode Proper" portion was recorded using Audacity in Fedora Workstation like the others, but was recorded using an M-Audio MobilePre XLR-to-USB audio interface and an AudioTechnica AT2020 microphone deliberately used improperly in order to emulate my much much poorer production techniques as of 2016. An AT2020 actually failed during this recording. Fortunately, I had a second AT2020, so I was able to finish the recording without substantial variation. The first line recorded with the second AT2020 was "I'm John Wedgeworth – thanks for listening."    You can also find all of our audio episodes on https://archive.org/details/@nerd_noise_radio as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.    We are now a member podcast as well.

In this episode I return to my Podcast Answer Man roots and share an in-depth review of my newest and most unexpected favorite piece of podcast gear. The Zoom PodTrak P4next! This tiny device delivers almost everything I rely on from the Rodecaster Pro 2 at a fraction of the size and a fraction of the cost, coming in at only $179. I'll walk you through how I discovered it, my initial skepticism, and why seeing the Zoom name made me give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. I'll share what the Zoom PodTrak P4next does, how I'm using it, why it has already earned a permanent place in my travel setup, and why I might even replace my Rodecaster Pro 2 in the studio. I recorded this episode from the front seat of my car to demonstrate how powerful this device is for portable recording. You'll hear the quality of the preamps and the impressive noise reduction capabilities in action. I talk about the power options, multitrack capability, four XLR inputs, mix-minus support, sound pads, four independently controlled headphone outputs, built in audio recorder and more. I also share the story of why this little recorder solves technical problems I have carried for years. If you have been looking for a reliable way to record multiple microphones on the road, or if you want to build a complete podcast studio that fits in a backpack, this episode will show you how simple, and inexpensive, it can be. Portable Gear Recommendations Many listeners and viewers ask for my current recommendations for a complete portable recording setup. Here's the list with affiliate links. Primary Device Zoom PodTrak P4next - https://amzn.to/4rA85fY Microphone Options Heil PR-40 - https://amzn.to/4iofavZ If you want something more portable, my long-time favorite was the Audio Technica ATR-2100. It is no longer manufactured, so my best current guess for a quality budget dynamic mic is the Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone found at https://amzn.to/4rgUIBf Cables Three foot XLR mic cables - https://amzn.to/43UbqMC Stands Portable mic stand options - https://amzn.to/3MmDMJf Headphones Sony MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0apwo Replacement ear pads for the MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0gj0z Closing Thought If this episode inspires you to pick up the Zoom PodTrak P4next, I would love to hear about it. Send me an email and let me know how this episode inspired you. My email is Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com.

Bad audio is one of the fastest ways to lose an audience, no matter how great your content is. But sounding better doesn't have to mean buying piles of gear or learning how to mix audio like a pro. This week, I'm joined by Laura Clapp Davidson, musician, content creator, and market development manager at Shure, who knows exactly how to make creators sound their best.Laura explains how to simplify your setup, fix common mistakes, and pick the right mic for your space and budget. We talk about everything from the basics of guest audio prep to the myths around shotgun mics, boom arms, and USB vs. XLR setups. Laura also shares her approach to starting a podcast, managing sound on the go, and what she's most excited about in the future of creator audio. If you've been putting off upgrading your setup, this episode might just convince you it's time.Key TakeawaysYour mic doesn't need to break the bank: Great sound is about positioning and setup, not price tags.Headphones matter: Always use wired headphones to avoid echo and delay (sorry, AirPods fans).Mic placement beats editing: Get close to the mic; fixing bad audio later only goes so far.Prep your guests: A quick checklist for mics, headphones, and background noise saves hours of editing later.Invest in you: Good audio is a long-term asset. Buy gear that will last, not one you'll replace next year.ResourcesLaura Clapp Davidson: lauraclapp.comPodcast: Song 43 and TMI (The Music Industry) — tmiwithlaura.comShure Microphones: shure.com----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This casual, banter-heavy episode kicks off with the hosts (Tim and Nate) fumbling through a sound check amid slurping coffee, barking dogs, and tech glitches—classic podcaster chaos. They joke about cluttered lives, puppy invasions, and Nate's XLR setup before rolling into the main show with self-deprecating humor about aging, coffee mishaps, and existential dread ("Why are we alive?"). Life Updates Tim's Whirlwind: Tim's dealing with home repairs (new dishwasher installed by a former Michelin-star chef from NYC who's now a handyman post-COVID; garage door fixed with smart integrations but noisy app beeps; doorknob drama leading to wild life stories). His leg's seizing from scar tissue (PT starts soon), mom's estate sale cleared out the house but didn't cover septic costs—still a win for decluttering. Financially, things improved: instant check processing, Apple Card approval (finally, after years of denials), and a surprise Xbox delivery after billing nightmares. He rants about Microsoft's chatbot hell for support. Nate's Rollercoaster: Work's feast-or-famine; a past-due job means Sunday overtime (paid double for minimal hours—great for him, bad for the business). Employee health crises abound: a coworker out post-heart attack/stroke, another starting chemo for throat cancer, and a recent funeral. Family hits hard too—stepmom's husband passed, niece prepping for birth amid her first wave of funerals ("Buckle up, buttercup"). Positives: Inheritance windfall pays off a car (no more payments, despite tire-popping wife jokes), and splurging on a kid-proof PC setup (i5, RTX 3050, durable mechanical keyboard/mouse) to spare their main rigs. Shared Vibes: Aging woes (Nate's "pentagenarian" shoulder pain; Tim's body betrayals), random revelations (Tim's massage therapist's quick divorce), and bio breaks mid-episode. Video Games Tim's Light Play: Minimal gaming due to life chaos—snippets of Helltank 2 on new Xbox Series X Galaxy Edition (smoother than Series S; no cross-play griefing despite PS fears; chat lags initially). Excited for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Dec. 4 release; open-world vibes with space motorbike teased in janky trailer—fans divided). Rants: Nintendo's absurd NPC-summoning patent (pre-dates Pokémon); Acclaim's surprise revival with indies like Dead Space Cells knockoff; UE5 scalability for Switch 2 (Star Wars Outlaws shines despite hardware hate); Xbox price hikes ($799 for Galaxy—Tim snagged pre-raise); No Man's Sky Switch 2 Corvette update (multiplayer still OG Switch-less); all RE games native on Switch 2; Perfect Dark cancellation drama (near Take-Two publishing deal fell through). Nate's Dives: Hollow Knight: Silksong (beautiful Metroidvania, but zero onboarding—jumped in blind); Sword of the Sea (watery sandy area progression); Destiny 2 (season-behind fixes make it smooth; hyped for Renegades). Correction: His GameSir controller model's a lighter version (no hall-effect triggers/rumble). Nintendo Direct Highlights: Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 combo (up-res'd for Switch 2; $45 Amiibos rage); Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel subtitled Galaxy (Rosalina focus? Scarlett Johansson headcanon); FF7 Remake & Sonic Trilogy ports; Fire Emblem tease. Sony drama: Ghost of Yōtei designer fired over Charlie Kirk comments (lame PR response). Tech Headsets & Peripherals: Tim's new HyperX Cloud Alpha (fixed PS echo issues; spatial audio blew friend's mind—stereo 101 roast). Nate's Arctis Nova (won in raffle; mix amp for chat/game). Apple Event Rundown: iPhone lineup confirmed (Air: ultra-thin titanium, single cam, cut-down Pro chip; 17 Pros: aluminum return, "Plateau" camera bar for antennas, vapor chamber cooling, 30% sustained perf boost). Modems: C1/C1X in-house (Air/SE); Wi-Fi/Bluetooth N1 chip (efficiency gains). Watches: Hypertension detection, sat-phone Ultra, better battery. OS unifications: Watch/iPad meh (laggy fonts); Apple TV smooth but tiny text; iOS front cam upgrade (square sensor for tracking/selfies). Meta Fail: Ray-Ban Meta AI demo glitches mid-cooking demo ("Meta, what do I do?" meme gold). PC Woes: Tim's shipped rig (Descent setup) dead on arrival—video ports fried; Nate suspects reseat. Entertainment RIP Robert Redford (87; natural causes at home—bummer for Endgame fans). Books/Media: Tim binged Red Rising trilogy (piercing sci-fi; full-cast audiobook for book 4); fan-made Tron: Ares supercut trailer slaps. NIN's Tron: Ares score: Atmospheric/Fragile-era vibes (repetitive riffs, subdued electronics; Infiltrator as core theme; Building Better Worlds evokes Wendy Carlos). Harry Potter full-cast audiobooks incoming (star-studded: McAvoy, Pegg, etc.—overdue money grab?). TV Gripes: Mr. & Mrs. Smith S2 delayed indefinitely (cliffhanger rage); Nate finished Strange New Worlds (Tim slacking on Trek). Episode wraps on unifications' mixed bag, with laughs over beeps, updates, and "pentagenarian" jabs. Runtime ~2.5 hours of raw, unfiltered bro-chat—perfect for fans of tech rants and life entropy.

No alcohol was involved in this recording - however, I do think sleep deprivation may have been a factor! ;-) :-D Enjoy!!

Louie shares how to set up your first recording for your podcast. He gives a step by step guide on what you need to do and how to get a great podcast recording, whether that's a solo episode or you are interviewing. Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways • Suggested Equipment You Will Need: Samsung Q2U microphone, a recorder like the Zoom PodTrak P4, Batteries, SD Card, 4GB SanDisk, XLR cable if using multiple microphones, Microphone stand and Headphones. For more detail on equipment head to episode ‘PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY' • Think about the positioning of your microphone as this is key to the quality of your sound. • Always wear your headphones at all times, unless you have someone listening to the recording for you. • The ‘gain' of the microphone is essentially its sensitivity; the higher the dial, the more sensitive it is. Check that it is at a comfortable level by listening through your headphones. • It is better to be too quiet than too loud, as if you are too loud, you will distort your recording and it cannot be saved in post-production. BEST MOMENTS “You're going to listen to it, so make sure it sounds good to you” “Listen to the recording and change dials appropriately to make sure we are coming through clearly” “We're trying to avoid peaking or being too loud in the microphone” “If this is your first time plugging everything in, do expect some changes and tech faults” VALUABLE RESOURCES PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/USVL7437414704.mp3?updated=1753924125 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?

In this episode, Louie tells you everything you need to know about equipment when recording your podcast. He shares what he would personally recommend to just get started, what provides value for money and what things you absolutely do not need for a beginner to intermediate set up. There are no affiliations here; this is just what we would recommend after working with hundreds of clients across many different types and styles of podcasts! Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways • Samsung Q2U microphone. This sometimes will come in a kit. This microphone is very good value for money and can be used in any podcasting set up. • Zoom H4n and the Zoom PodTrak P4 are both good options for a recorder, but consider what input you need before deciding. • There are a lot of other things to consider with a recorder. Keep a close eye on the podcast for an episode Louie is recording on exactly this! • Batteries are important for recording; you will need more than you expect. • SD card options are almost endless, but Louie recommends a relatively high speed and large option, such as the 4GB SanDisk. • If you have multiple people speaking then you need multiple microphones. You will need an XLR cable to be able to plug them all in, you need one XLR cable per microphone. Consider the length of cable you might need. • Microphone stands will vary depending on your type of set up. Its main purpose is to get the microphone away from any surfaces that might vibrate or create unwanted feedback and noise. • Headphones are forward, you can use almost anything you have already, it's about monitoring the recording, so anyone who is being recorded needs to be wearing headphones. BEST MOMENTS “Think about what kind of podcast you are making.” “The worst thing that could happen is you guys run out of battery mid interview and don't realise it and don't have back up” “If you've got something that works, get it out, plug it in, see if it sounds ok. You don't have to go away and spend loads of money if you don't need to, use something if you've got it” VALUABLE RESOURCES Microphone: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-SAQ2U-Microphone-Recording-Pack/dp/B001R747SG?th=1 Recorder: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/200806360890025--zoom-podtrak-p4?gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=17601953470&gbraid=0AAAAAD76p-1ub2Ja6py32W1LsdqRLx5bn&gclid=CjwKCAjwv5zEBhBwEiwAOg2YKNRDfzEkrcAWQ7Sw8ARzMOFBF1rtT_FSr9j77LnVeYfe1iUNC1KlKBoCnFIQAvD_BwE SD Card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Card-Label-Change/dp/B001C0DJL4 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?

[2025 Addendum] Our third and final rerun which we're releasing for July, and third and final rerun celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and our third and final of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”)  series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd), we look, at last, to MoVGM's final year: 2024. The Theme of 2024's MoVGM was a focus on female and LGBTQIA+ (particularly trans) composers. And Nerd Noise Radio's contribution for this year was a Channel 1 featuring the soundtrack to the game Celeste, composed by the fabulous trans composer Lena Raine. The pride connection goes even deeper, though, as the game was written and designed by Maddie Thorson, who is also trans, and upon whom the [also also trans] protagonist, Madelaine is also based. From a production standpoint, this is going to be pretty close to on par with a 2025 production as it is using all the same recording hardware, and most of the same production techniques, but may not quite match the current crop due to my using less sophisticated monitoring headphones resulting in a final mix which might be a tad on the “hot” side. Either way, it's a showcase of great people making great music to a great game with a great message. So, we are quite pleased to present C1E86: “The Celeste Soundtrack” (originally released 06/15/2024).

In Podcast Playbook (Part 2), Kelly Kennedy rips the fluff off podcast tech and gives you the real, unfiltered truth about the gear that actually matters. If you're serious about launching a podcast that sounds world-class, this episode is your blueprint. From computers and microphones to audio interfaces and headphones, Kelly breaks down what to buy, why it matters, and how to build a pro-level setup without wasting a dollar. No gimmicks. No jargon. Just clarity and confidence to build your studio the right way—whether you're in a spare bedroom or a full production space.But this isn't just about gear—it's about showing up like a pro from day one. Kelly explains why audio quality is make-or-break, why your computer is the real unsung hero, and how the right setup positions you for long-term podcast success. This episode will cut months off your learning curve and set you up to hit record with power and purpose. If you want to build a podcast that's built to last, Episode 251 is non-negotiable.Key Takeaways: 1. Your computer is the most critical piece of podcasting equipment—editing and production demand serious processing power.2. A gaming laptop or desktop is often the best choice due to its high-end GPU, CPU, RAM, and SSD performance.3. Sound quality can make or break your show; even great content won't save you if the audio hurts people's ears.4. USB microphones are great for beginners, but XLR microphones paired with an interface deliver far superior sound and control.5. A quality audio interface like the Rodecaster Pro 2 allows for zero-latency monitoring, clean gain control, and pro-level audio routing.6. Headphones are non-negotiable—they prevent feedback, help monitor sound live, and allow you to edit with precision.7. Bluetooth headphones introduce latency—always go wired when producing or editing your show.8. You don't need a full studio to sound professional—a home setup with the right gear can match broadcast quality.9. Start with a setup you can grow into—XLR systems are scalable and used by nearly all professional podcasters.10. Equipment helps—but consistency, connection, and your message are what truly build a great podcast.Ready to build something that lasts?The Catalyst Club isn't just another business community—it's your backstage pass to real growth.
