Setting up a Podcast Studio, any advice welcomed!
My workflow for editing podcasts in Logic (work in progress, any suggestions?)
Ahaha I was about to say this all looks great and I have some videos but you got it. 👍
Edit: Oh! I thought of something. You can drop markers to add chapters to your MP3 files. I've been seeing more people using simple timestamps in episode notes along with simple titles for their chapters, and I love it. I feel it gives the listener a sense of what they're getting into, and if you do it right, can also make people more interested in checking out the episode.
Anyways, you'll want to hit G to see the markers full size in your main window in Logic, then you'll then need to hide Arrangement and a few other things up there. The keyboard shortcuts to memorize are:
-
Option + ' to drop a marker / timestamp
-
Shift + ' to rename the marker

I drop markers and quickly name them whenever I feel like I come across a good entry point or question or idea or any other thing of interest. You can check out the screenshot below to see examples of a show I work on.
When I'm done editing, I export a .wav file and then drop it into Marco Arment's Forecast app to edit the chapter titles and add links and other info and export an MP3 file for uploading to Simplecast for distribution. I made a tutorial for Forecast here: https://medium.com/simplecast/forecast-by-marco-arment-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-why-podcasters-should-take-a-look-ba446ffa8a35

Build own podcast studio?
Hello!
My name is César and I've been working in the film industry as an audio technician for 6+ years, mostly out in Los Angeles. Due to the recent struggles the industry, and California, have had recently I've decided to branch out and set up my own podcast studio back in my home country.
I'm familiar with multi track audio recordings, as that is my job, but I'm a little green with multi feed video recording in this kind of set up. At the same time I'm not sure what kind of gear is best for something like this. My budget for setting this up is around $5,000.00 (hopefully not that high) and I've been looking at Lumix cameras and Rode XLR mics to start off. I already have the audio interface and software all sorted, as well as what lights would be ideal for this set up.
Any advice on gear is more than welcomed, as well as how it is best to record multi person podcasts. To my understanding some people press record on all cameras and let it run, but others do live switching which I'm familiar with but I'd have to learn more of before even attempting it.
Thank you so much for your time!
