We have just finished outfitting our podcasting studio with all new equipment we’re connecting it to work existing broadcast studio. This is a great opportunity for organizations who already have broadcasting it live streaming studios add a podcasting system into the mix. For us it allows us to host a regular live streaming show about Facebook and YouTube and seamlessly transition into a live podcast which is recorded and uploaded to podcasting sites such as iTunes and stitcher radio.

10. The Mix Minus Setup
A mix-minus is
essential to
podcasting. This
system brings mixes
the audio for each
set of microphones.
We do not want the
podcaster to hear
themselves coming
back through their
headphones.

11. Label Everything!
We have all of our microphones,
headphones and cables all labeled.
This make creating the mix-minus
much easier.

12. XKeys
This is our custom podcast sound
effects controller.
We simply downloaded the audio
files we wanted to use and
configured them to these keys.
This way we can quickly select
which audio file we want to recall
during our podcasts.

Windows if they are not setup to be the
default recording device. Once it’s setup
properly you can bring in each source in
the mixer as an individual stereo or
mono audio input.
