It’s the difference between hearing some speaking, and they’re getting louder and quieter as they move to and from the microphone. So you squash down the loud bits, turn it all up, and then you get a consistent waveform. Since it’s squashed down, you need to turn it up a bit. If you’ve never heard audio technical terms before, I can make them simple and do my best to cut them down to just the audio tips you need to know.Īudio compression takes your voice, if you’re a podcaster, and it takes all those loud bits and squashes them down a bit, so they are the same level as the quiet bits. Mike: I’ll do my best to simplify things. If we had bought the kind of stuff we have today, it would have cost… not millions, but we can get gear today so much cheaper than back then.īefore we get started, I do want to address a question right off the bat. I’m such a geek, but it was just great fun to do.Īnd now, it’s amazing the kind of gear that we’ve got today. Sometimes I’d have a microphone and plug it in the left and the right and go, hello, hello. I would kind of record little bits and snippets. I remember back in the day, in the ’80s and ’90s, and I had these tape decks. Then I started a podcast, started traveling and going to conferences, meeting lots of other podcasters. I kind of went into radio and worked in radio for two decades. Eventually, I discovered, Oh my goodness, I could actually turn this into a career. I was just like a kid who just wanted to play with and change the sound of voices a bit like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone where he’s using the Talkboy, slowing and speeding up voices and stuff like that. And it was then that I thought, “I really want to be able to do that.” And they played beautiful jingles with pitch shifting and all these strange things that were happening to the voice. Now you say to kids, “radio,” and they’re like, “what’s that?”īut I used to listen to a station in London called Capitol. And I think it was actually listening to the radio stations back in the day, of course, when radio was a big thing. I’ve always been fascinated by audio since I was single digits in age.
