In this episode, I share some thoughts on the use of Feedburner even if you are using a hosting service that provides iTunes optimized rss feeds.

Chris Oatley called to say thanks for Episode 80 which was a screen cast on Google Analytics.

I share some thoughts I’ve been having on how to best handle the old archives of Podcast Answer Man.

Finally, I close the show out with a call from Daniel Johnson Jr. regarding limited speaking times at Podcamps and my thoughts on his comments.

Discuss podcasting with other listeners in the Podcast Answer Man section of the gspn.tv Community Forum.

Equipment Diagrams

by Cliff Ravenscraft on July 25, 2009

Hey folks,

I’m just posting this here to let you know that one of the many services that I provide is personalized equipment setup consults, even if you have purchased your equipment elsewhere.

This morning, I had an hour long consulting client who had purchased the following equipment elsewhere. (He said in the future, he’ll buy from me)

Shure SM7B Mic
Behringer 1204 Mixer
Edirol R-09HR Recorder
DBX 266XL Dual Compressor/Limiter/Gate

He was looking for a podcast consultant because he had no idea how to hook all the equipment up and what cables to use.

Within one hour with me on the phone (AND SHARING MY SCREEN WITH HIM using GoToMeeting) we did the following.

I pulled up images of all his equipment and created a setup diagram with him, while we were on the phone, explaining every step in the process.

I was able to walk him through what each of the buttons and knobs are used for on his mixer, I was able to give him advice on how to get the PERFECT audio levels every single time he records, and soooo much more.

In the end, he felt as confident that he knew exactly what to do and was on his way to a local store to pick up a few cables to build his studio setup.

I might mention that folks who have hired me to help them do this usually spend MANY HOURS researching this stuff online before they actually come to me for help. In one hour with me, they know what they need to know to get up and running so that they can do more important things LIKE RECORDING THEIR CONTENT. ;)

After each of these calls, I save the equipment diagram and email it to them.

Here’s an example….

Individuals Have The Power In New Media!

July 9, 2009

New media has radically changed our world! In the past, if you wanted to literally broadcast a message to the world, the only way to really reach a mass audience was through traditional media outlets such as television networks, news papers, etc. Even then, your message may have been limited to the geographical [...]
