Yo. Grasshopper. You seem to have overlooked the three most important PHYSICAL items...things you need for podcasting BEFORE you jump into technical stuff. Did you know that #1: You are not even using the right mic? You need a condenser mic. A live performance mic is not at ALL appropriate for podcasting. It is used for long distances. When you are in an enclosed space, this does not suffice. #2: No pop-screen filter in front of your mic? BIG mistake. And, #3: Get some headphones.

@flowerdove2168 you have to consider, not all radio stations use condenser mic's.

OVER COMPRESSED. NEVER try to teach ANYONE compression unless you get it right.

I refuse to watch the rest of this tutorial for fear you'll blow my head off. I normally don't dislike videos on youtube but you sir have earned it.

[McIntec]

@trancecrafter every sound person has their own likes and tastes. Thanks for your input. :)

[HakerzTM]

what are you using for the compression? If I don't have a mixing board can I still do it? maybe with a VST plugin?

[McIntec]

@HakerzTM I was using Sam Broadcaster for the compression.

Your audio sucks. Bad compression....

when will people learn when your shit stop trying to teach

[jamjam92189]

@McIntec no real sound person likes this sound and it sounds like shit not soo good

Arg...a video about compression...that is totally OVER compressed. Dude you are killing your audience, blowing ears out, and potentially inspiring hopeful audio engineers to do exactly the WRONG thing with compression. Compression compression compression...arg....without a pop filter and your compression settings...your "radio" voice is a blaring, harsh, transient mess. Turn down the fricken ratio and slow your attack!

@trancecrafter haha winning!

[whbjr0riginal]

Wow, that sounds like a bad example, right from the start - "Hi, here's how NOT to compress your voice, now I'll show you how to make it as crappy as this..."

[BLCancer]

haha this is such a fail, people like this give me hope that i can make money in this business.

LOL is he using iPod earbuds?

[flowerdove2168]

@McIntec Uhhh...actually, I don't have to consider something that is not true in the first place. I know what types of microphones are used in what settings, and why. I'm not as uneducated as you would wish for me to look, in light of your comment that makes absolutely no sense, and has nothing to back up such a claim. If you simply look up "microphones" on Wikipedia, the knowledge is there, not to mention all over the internet, and quite readily available for your learning experience. RESEARCH.
