Episode description

After listening to yesterday's audio recording, I realized the sound quality of my AirPods was not great. So, I wanted to fix that going forward. 


I'm on the road right now helping my dad recover from hip surgery, so I don't have my usual sound setup.


But I do have a Samson Go Mic with me, which I bought for under $100 on Amazon. I keep it in my small tech bag which houses my backup wires, batteries etc. for just such occasions.


I also used Garage Band, which comes installed on most Macs. I used the Vocals > Narration preset to help make the audio that much more crisp.

I'll probably play with this setup a but more, but I think it sounds a lot better than before so I wanted to share with you. 

Bottom line: invest in good audio. If you're a professional, it's the least you can do for your clients. 

Yours,
