My guest is Max Flight, host of Airplane Geeks Podcast, co-host and producer of The UAV Digest and the #PaxEx Podcast.
We talked about all phases of his podcast production. This is an overview of what Max's engineering in his own words from an email he sent me:
I'm involved with 3 podcasts, all
aviation-related:
- Airplane Geeks: Co-founder (2008), host, and producer (since 2009).
- The UAV Digest: A spinoff from Airplane Geeks. I co-host and produce.
- The PaxEx Podcast: Co-host and I produce it up to the MP3, after which I hand it off.
All shows are over Skype with co-host(s) and
guest. Mix-minus, 2 laptops, record into both hardware and
software, soundboard on iPad. I record in my home studio, in hotel
rooms, at conferences and public events (annually at the
Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum). So depending on the situation, I
use the Heil PR40, Sennheiser e835, AudioTechnica ATR2100, and a
Sennheiser MD 46 interview mic.
Other gear: TritonAudio FetHead, Marantz
PMD620 and Zoom H4n recorders, Focusrite Scarlett Solo, a
bunch of Behringer UCA-2xx audio interfaces, Sennheiser A380 and
Sony MDR V6 headphones, Monster Cable 3500, Yamaha HS5
monitor. I've used a Presonus Tube-pre in the past, but not
lately.
For software I use Audacity and Hindenburg
Journalist Pro. I love Hindy. It's really a different model for a
DAW. I like to record clean at proper levels with no effects (and
little to no noise floor). Each person on their own track, EQ by
track, global compression, loudness at -16
LUFS.
Thank you for being a wonderful guest, Max! FYI, follow Max on Twitter @MaxFlight
