Episode • Sep 13, 2018 • 1h 24m

My guest is Marc Bakos - audio engineer and partner at Cleanfeed.

We discussed his service as well as lots more:

  • Marc's setup: TLM 49, Yamaha MG-12 mixer, Dbx 286s on insert, Prism Sound Titan external 1U sound card ($3k)
  • PMC TB2+ speakers in his home studio
  • What is Cleanfeed?
  • The audio and technical backgrounds of Cleanfeed's creators
  • Chrome on Android works well!
  • Audio Quality: Pro version offers up to 320kbps quality. Standard voice 64kbps. And it can record in Stereo. Constant bitrate CODEC so there are no artifacts (OPUS)
  • No drops - how? Will try peer to peer initially. Fully encrypted. If firewalled, it goes through a relay server.
  • Ducking? No!, but can turn it on on a per participant basis.
  • Leveling/Processing? No.
  • No local recording for participants - all recording is done in the "studio's" Chrome browser.
  • Remote guests are combined onto one track
  • How does it avoid dropouts and glitching, etc.?
  • Downloading mid-show? Yes.
  • What can participants do to make sure their audio comes through clear and uninterrupted?
  • Good metering
  • Cart wall - cool, but no volume control at this time.
  • Multiple input devices - bring several devices into Cleanfeed.

Thank you for being a great guest, Marc!
