So apart from the above notice. I am recording this episode on Auxbus again. But this time, I did it on my Android phone using the Chrome Brower. Not a bad way to record a solo show, as long as you don't mind recording in one take! <h2>PRODUCTION NOTES</h2> Recording mic: Sennheiser PC8 Headset Recording location: Bedroom Recording app: <a href="http://Auxbus.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Auxbus.com</a> Recording format: I don't know!

I recorded today's episode on the Auxbus.com podcast creation and publishing platform. Auxbus simplifies the process of creating a podcast by guiding you through their structured approach to building your show and your episodes. It sounds a bit like Anchor, right? It is, except Auxbus doesn't host podcasts. But they have just been bought by Libsyn. Listen as I create the main part of this show using Auxbus' tools. The sound quality is better than Anchor's native recording tools. But I think Anchor has the edge overall because Auxbus' tools are designed for solo host on mic shows and there's no way to edit the waveform.  PRODUCTION NOTES Recording mic: Samson Q2U connect to a laptop via USB Recording location: Dining table with no pillow-fort, no pop-filter. Recording app: Auxbus.com Recording format: I don't know! However, the final file was 64kbps mono mp3 Music: Auxbux royalty-free stock music. Sound Treatment Mixing and EQ: Auxbus (not sure what EQ, if any, was applied. Auto-levelling was applied) Editorial Edit: None (No editing tools within Auxbus but I did drop it into Audition to remove the first inserted advert, I left the second one at the end) Mastering Sound Treatment: Auxbus.com (Loudness Normalization to -19 LUFS) I uploaded the resulting 64kbps mp3 file to Anchor.fm
