PES 225: Goody Bag with New Mic and Interface

The Podcast Engineering Show

I overview 9 recent Daily Goody‘s from March 19 through April 7 (see list below). You can sign up to receive Daily Goody’s in your email every day or a weekly roundup. Sign up here.

Here are the equipment and plugins I used to produce this episode:

• Sphere L22™ microphone system from Townsend Labs
• Apollo x4 audio interface from Universal Audio
• For the U47 emulation I mentioned in the episode, I ended up using the Ocean Way Mic collection's emulation profile. I chose that particular U47 sound for my voice over the U47 sounds in the Townsend Labs Sphere collection and the Putnam Mic collection, but of course this choice was solely dependent on the quality of my particular voice. For other people's voices the best sounding choice would probably be different.
• Studer A800 tape emulation plugin (Universal Audio)
• Focusrite SC channel strip plugin (Plugin Alliance)
• Pro-L 2 limiter plugin (Fabfilter)
