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,
