Create Screencasts for Free
Let me just say right of the bat, this post is for the Windows users looking to create screencasts for free. I am not using a Mac right now in my daily workflow. The Mac in my house is in the entertainment center downloading video podcasts and playing music on through the [...]
Podcast of the Week: Quarter Share
I love a good audio book. I’m subscribed, thanks to Leo Laporte, to Audible.com and I’ve already “read” more books in the last 3 months than I did in all of the rest of 2007. While the plan I’m on at Audible allows me one book a month, there is a free alternative to [...]
Recording Screencasts with Camtasia Studio
I found this video via the New Media Expo Newsletter. They included some how-to links in the newsletter. One was how to record screencasts with Camtasia Studio. The video was created as part of the web site Demogirl.com. If you have something to share and don’t have the ability to do [...]
Podcast of the Week: Mahalo Daily
If you are fan of Buzz Out Loud, the CNET podcast, you’re probably familiar with the host of this week’s Podcast of the Week. It’s Veronica Belmont, and the podcast is Mahalo Daily.
I don’t subscribe to many video podcasts. It takes a lot more effort to create a good video podcast than an [...]
Podcast from Anywhere with Utterz
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m using Utterz to create posts at Fat Guy Radio to document my participating in the Couch to 5K program. Utterz is a new multimedia blogging service. Here is a description of Utterz from the FAQ over at the site:
Utterz is the first way you can [...]
Podcast of the Week: Podcasts for Running
Over at Fat Guy Radio I’ve pretty much stopped creating regular podcasts. I’ve teamed up with a co-host, Jeff Ainslie, and started a new podcast called Fat 2 Fit Radio. I was thinking about what to do with Fat Guy Radio. So far I was just posting links back to the new [...]
Getting the Best Audio out of Skype
In December, Doug Kaye and Paul Figgiani recorded the demonstration and how-to below. The demo is how to get the best call quality with Skype. Right around minute 13:00 I figured out why my Skype quality has been suffering, my PC is not fast enough. Plus the same computer records the conversation. [...]
Mystery of Mix Minus
Using Skype or a digital hybrid to make phone calls and record them with your podcast rig is at the same time easy, as far as equipment and cables needed, and difficult, setting up all the aux send and channels and panning and gain and trim and all the other things that come along with [...]
My Next Mixer: Alesis MultiMix 8 Firewire
I’ve been recording a lot of Skype conversations. Particularly I record each episode of Fat 2 Fit Radio by means of Skype every week. Jeff Ainslie, my co-host, calls in from Calgary, Alberta (that’s in Canada). I record both my voice and his on separate left and right channels of my current [...]
New Year, New Look
Not too many posts here on the blog here in 2007, definitely a lack of podcasts. This year, 2008, my goal is to get back to the business of blogging here on The Podcast Studio.
First order of business is to get rid of Google Adsense. (Check) The blog see’s some good traffic, but [...]
