In a previous post I talked about podcasting on a budget. There are a lot of good cheap stuff out there, but for those of you swimming in dough, here’s a post on some more high-end podcast gear when money isn’t an object.

Time for another ‘gear roundup post’. Or perhaps I should categorize this as a ‘getting started post’? Whatever you call it I thought it was time for another one of those. I’ve decided to split it up into two posts. This first one will as the name suggests deal with what you need to start out podcasting if you’re not looking to spend any larger amounts of money. The second part in this serious will deal with more ‘high-end podcasting’ if such a term exists.

Anyone doing video podcasts here? Or thinking about it? In that case you should check out iMovie. It’s an incredibly easy way to give your video recordings a few basic effects. I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago, editing my video diary from Musikmesse.

Shure’s latest podcast (shurecast) deals with directionality. Perhaps it’s worth a listen. Here’s the direct link: Microphone basics: directionality
ASK Videos has announced the release of a new GarageBand tutorial DVD. It caught my eye since it seems to deal a little with podcasting and voice overs. The downside is that tutorial DVDs are rather expensive, and if you don’t care about the music side of this DVD (which is definitely the majority of it) it will probably seem a little expensive to shell out 50 bucks for it.
Perhaps there’s someone here who want to learn about podcats and is an aspiring mixer, producer or musician?
Check out the details at ASK Videos website.
I found an article on podcasting with Linux this morning, and thought I’d share it with you. It’s old, but still worth a read. The core of the article deals with Audacity and recording interviews with Skype, which of course can be of interest to non-Linux users as well!
The article claims that you will need a second computer for recording both the voices from Skype. I definitely don’t see the need for this. I don’t know if Skype has the proper recording features now (as I said, the article is old), or if something like Audio Hijack isn’t available on Linux, in either way it could be solved with some creative routing with a proper audio interface.
