The Podcast Engineering Show


Jul 23, 2020

My guest is Dave Hamilton, Co-host of Mac Geek Gab, Gig Gab, and The Small Business Show. He is also the Co-founder of The Mac Observer and BackBeat Media.

We discussed tons of valuable info, including:

  • Heil PR40 - since 2016
  • Presonus Quantum 2626 - the thunderbolt line
  • Audio Hijack - to record the fully mixed audio LIVE
  • Logic Pro
  • Sending everything to a buss sent to BlackHole (what Soundflower was, creates 2 audio devices)
  • Squadcast input set to BlackHole
  • ICON Platform M+ --- external control surface, 9 faders, ~$450, least expensive WITHOUT motorized faders,
  • He tested the Presonus Faderport 8 which is ~$1,200
  • Without motorized faders: Korg nanoKONTROL Studio Mobile MIDI Control Surface
  • Processing in Logic Pro: EQ, noise gate, compressor, de-esser
  • Mastering chain: Compression - quite heavy, de-esser, limiter
  • Adding a touch of reverb to “put everyone in the same room.” Used to use an ART outboard reverb unit. In Logic he uses Chromaverb.
  • Auphonic for leveling, processing, adding metadata, chapters (add manually or import a text file!), convert to MP3, send directly to FTP server.
  • CashFly for media hosting
  • Feed generated from PowerPress

Thanks for being a great guest, Dave!
