Podcasting process
1.
Prepare and conrm
connections
●
Preparations
Install an SD card in the
P8
, provide it power, and set the date and time.
●
Connecting and checking
Connect microphones and headphones.
• By using a single mic for each person, levels can be adjusted to suit each voice,
enabling clear recording of all voices.
• Adjust the distance between the participants and their mics so that they can
be recorded at stable levels. On the
P8
, the input gain can be set suitably for a
connected mic by setting its INPUT SELECT switch.
•
Using the
P8
, tones of voices can be adjusted and compressors and de-essers
can be applied.
• Mute input channels that are not being used to prevent noise from being picked
up.
• Headphones are necessary to not only conrm the inputs from the mics,
but also to hear SOUND PAD playback and the voices of guests participating
remotely.
If a guest in a distant location is participating remotely in recording, connect the
P8
to a computer, smartphone or tablet.
• The smartphone connector is designed to prevent echo when used. When using
the USB port, turn on USB Mix Minus to prevent echo.
Conrm the levels and other settings of the SOUND PAD buttons, which can
be used for one-touch playback of background music, jingles and other sounds
during recording.
●
Countermeasures for environmental noise in recording locations
• Attaching windscreens to mics can reduce noise caused by wind blowing.
Adjust the directions of mics so that they do not point toward other sources of
environmental noise.
• Touching mics and power cables during recording could result in handling noise
that sounds like crackling. Use mic stands and put cables in order beforehand.
Placing mic cables and power cables too close together can result in noise
being picked up.
•
Enabling the Low Cut function on the
P8
mic input settings screens can reduce
the amount of vibration, wind and other noise picked up by mics.
• When multiple mics are being used to record sound, turning on noise reduction
on the
P8
ON AIR settings screen can suppress background noise to a constant
level by automatically reducing the levels of the mic inputs not being used by
people.
2. Record
●
Recording theme
To enable recording conversations at a good pace, conrm the discussion topics
with the other participants and prepare reference materials and other resources
so that they are at hand.
●
Speaking tips
Try to speak clearly while avoiding making sibilant (hissing s) and plosive (p and d)
sounds too loud.
●
SOUND PAD buttons
Use these to add excitement to programs with jingles and effects.
