“How do I start a podcast?”

These videos are meant to give you some basics for podcasting. You do not have to watch the videos all the way through because there is some rambling and you may already know some of the things provided in these videos (use the skip button as you please).

These videos are simply a starting point for podcasting at the UVU review. Feel free to find other resources on podcasting and recording so that you can learn as much as you can and be able to do what you want/need to do. Audio students and YouTube are other great resources where you can learn the podcasting basics.

Content todos

Question to frame your episode:
Why is it important for someone to listen to your podcast?
What is the premise of your podcast?
How are you going to share your information?

Recording todos

Make sure everyone has access to a microphone
Plugin extra microphones if necessary
Open up your recording software and prep it for recording
Check levels
Turn the knobs on the interphase up
Try to keep it from getting into the red
Record enable tracks
Record when ready
Stop recording when finished
Upload to box for the editor

Editing Todos

Add intro, outros and music
Export and send to Mixer

Rules Regarding Recording Equipment

Do not turn on Phantom Power, ever. None of our current microphones need it.
Do not try to force the mic stands (or anything). The boom/scissors stands are already flexible. If you want to change the angle of the microphone, make sure you loosen the knobs before you change the angle.
If you are plugging in or unplugging a microphone, make sure that all levels (aka the volume/gain knobs) on the interphase are all the way down.
If you are turning off or unplugging the interphase, make sure that all levels (aka the volume/gain knobs) on the interphase are all the way down.

Editing Todos

What is the format of this podcast?

Move things around according
Is it uncut? One take listen? (interviews)
Do I want to insert or reorder things? (Narrative)

Cut out these swear words

Dick
Shit
Fuck
Bitch
Ass
Cunt
Bastard
and other variations (Check with Editor in Chief, Faculty Advisor, or Executive Podcast Producer)

Words that are okay

Hell
God
Damn

Mixing todos

Does the audio sound good?
Do some basic automation where needed (theme and music)
Use a noise gate to get rid of noise bleed and unwanted sounds.
Cut out stuff that the noise gate missed.
Use EQ to make room for the voices and to get rid of low frequency noises on the microphones (handling noises, “p”s and “b”s, etc).
Use compression on the microphones to keep audio levels more consistent and from getting too loud.
Use a limiter on the master track, to keep the audio from getting too loud.
Upload and send to Poster

“Why use GarageBand?”

A few corrections on this video: You can turn up the gain/volume knobs on the interface until it turns red. We want it in the green/yellow zone (it’s okay if the signal goes past the button) Direct Monitoring will also allow you to hear the input through your headphones. Direct Monitoring is the yellow button next to the record enable button. Sorry about the errors

“How do I record on my computer?”

Before you are able to record on any device with the review’s equipment, you will need to download a driver.

Click on the link to download driver (If you have a PC): https://www.musictribe.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Audio-Interfaces/UMC404HD/p/P0BK1/downloads
Extract the downloaded folder
Run the setup program from the extracted folder
Open up device manager from the control panel
Find the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC404HD device (either under sound or USB. It will have a yellow triangle next to it if the device is plugged in) and right click on it.
Choose Update Driver Software > Browse
Select the driver that you just downloaded by picking the location of where you downloaded the driver.

You should now be able to use your computer as well as the program of your choice. You do not need to update/download the driver repeatedly once you have everything set up.
