Episode • Jul 23, 2020 • 1h 5m

My guest is Dave Hamilton, Co-host of Mac Geek Gab, Gig Gab, and The Small Business Show. He is also the Co-founder of The Mac Observer and BackBeat Media.

We discussed tons of valuable info, including:

Heil PR40 - since 2016
Presonus Quantum 2626 - the thunderbolt line
Audio Hijack - to record the fully mixed audio LIVE
Logic Pro
Sending everything to a buss sent to BlackHole (what Soundflower was, creates 2 audio devices)
Squadcast input set to BlackHole
ICON Platform M+ --- external control surface, 9 faders, ~$450, least expensive WITHOUT motorized faders,
He tested the Presonus Faderport 8 which is ~$1,200
Without motorized faders: Korg nanoKONTROL Studio Mobile MIDI Control Surface
Processing in Logic Pro: EQ, noise gate, compressor, de-esser
Mastering chain: Compression - quite heavy, de-esser, limiter
Adding a touch of reverb to “put everyone in the same room.” Used to use an ART outboard reverb unit. In Logic he uses Chromaverb.
Auphonic for leveling, processing, adding metadata, chapters (add manually or import a text file!), convert to MP3, send directly to FTP server.
CashFly for media hosting
