My returning guest is Garth Humphreys, host and producer of Audio Pizza, Aussie Mac Zone and iBlindTech. Garth and I go deep and get technical - and of course we make it practical and relevant to your podcast production, too ;) Before Garth and I got rolling, I first explained how I recently rescued some bad sounding audio using various steps: Putting it through Auphonic first (noise reduction, low end filter, leveler), then processing the resulting Flac file in iZotope RX 6 (phase, de-reverb, and de-click), then more processing in Reaper including EQ'ing and de-essing. Then we discussed:  Garth's new Yamaha HS7 6.5" Powered Studio Monitors Compression: Going through all the parameters, what they mean and how they work. LUFS: Understanding how it's calculated and what it’s measuring. FLAC file format: Benefits of using it for recording and archiving. Phase trick: A cool way to hear what a plugin is actually doing to your audio. It also works for checking impact of MP3 encoding.  Then I told the entire story of my recent purchase of the Rode Broadcaster microphone, and why I returned it quickly. (Note: It's NOT because it's a bad mic) I also talked about the two Fabfilter plugins I bought recently: The Pro-DS (de-esser) and the Pro-MB (multiband compressor). Thanks for hanging out with me again Garth and sharing so many tasty slices of audio pizza! DID YOU KNOW........We exist for the purpose of helping you, so please comment below with any questions or remarks. Thanks for listening!

PES 075: Have Another Slice of Audio.Pizza Baked by Garth Humphreys

My guest is Garth Humphreys, host and producer of Audio Pizza, iBlindTech and Aussie Mac Zone. Garth lives in Australia and we had a fun session. We discussed his equipment and workflow, including:  Rode NT-1 Amadeus Pro Audio Hijack Pro FX Chains on individual tracks as well as the main mix bus Auphonic to append and prepend music, intro, etc. Editing tips   We also covered 3 handy functions in Reaper (they are also possible in most other DAW's):  Allows for 3 states of ripple editing (we cover all 3) SWS/BR: Normalize loudness of selected tracks to -23 LUFS Item: Auto trim/split items (remove silence)  One more interesting tidbit - when Garth sent me his local recording he sent it in FLAC format (Free Lossless Audio Codec). Digital audio compressed by FLAC's algorithm can typically be reduced to 50–60% of its original size and decompress to an identical copy of the original audio data. It's handy for sharing large audio files as long as the receiving person has the ability to decompress the file back into a WAV file, for instance. (many software programs can do this) Thanks for all the great info you shared, Garth! And for having a fun time with me on the show ;) DID YOU KNOW........We exist for the purpose of helping you, so please comment below with any questions or remarks. Thanks for listening!
