This time, we bumble through an episode featuring the amazing Mike Conte and we talk about what’s wrong with this Podcast technically (see below), about ChatGPT, and about how you don’t want to show others the Money. Mike is as always hilarious! Ok, our exploration of Podcasting continues with tech glitches galore. First of all apologies to our 15 viewers. But we are going to fix:
- The segment producer problem and move to a news section and then a special topic, the news will be on cool things in Tech from AI to Gadgets to Smart Home, things opinionated Verge)
- Audio, yes there are lots of glitches here, I had not realized that OBS really requires all manual controls. I just want Automatic Gain Control and Radio voice, but I’m learning. The audio in this one is very quiet because I had the Gain stage turned up, but didn’t realize the compressor also had gained. And the Final Cut Pro gain is only 12dB. Also, I didn’t realize how the Noise suppressor and gain work on low signals (like it cuts them out) and Zoom is very low.
- Video, I’ve been mastering in HDR and the default in OBS is for 400 nits peak brightness, but while this looks awesome on iPhone, Mac, and iPad (let’s call them “real” HDR devices with 1000 peak nits), it looks dreadful on lesser HDR devices like my LG B9 which is only at most 400 nits. So I’ll probably settle at say 300 nits for this next time, but most people I think are just getting the transcoded SDR Rec.709 output).
And here is the podcast:
