As some of you know, I own and host a weekly/semi-monthly podcast discussing topics in systems engineering, networking, automation, and DevOps.
We’ve changed a lot this year, evolving our show with our careers. Toward the end of this year, we’ve managed to beg, plead, and con a few guest hosts to act as SMEs on the show
@SgtAwesomesauce was kind enough to be one of those guests! We were very excited and deeply appreciative to have him lend a great deal of his time to discuss things like Linux, working the start-up life, private versus public cloud, and projects.
@Eden@wendell@Dje4321, @BGL, @ anyone else that loves and works with Linux and Cloud, and @ everyone I’m forgetting Check it out and beam with pride.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely take a look. I’m not even remotely working in any of the mentioned fields (except maybe automation) but I always enjoy to learn something new.
Let me know if you have any feedback. You can leave a review or just message me directly
Coming up on a year. The early episodes had poor audio, and we’ve missed a few weeks due to life things. But, the team is reinvigorated and we’re starting to get more serious about content creation. Let me know what you think!
A really nicely done interview. As you asked for feedback, the main negative point that stands out are the variations in audio levels between the three of you. Otherwise a well done podcast.
Appreciate that, and you’re not the first to mention that. I’ve been working to improve the audio.
My audio is by far the worst, and I don’t know what to do to fix it I’m basically brushing my lips on the mic when I’m talking. The headphones are really good which make it hard to tell if I’m screaming or not.
It’s been knocked over a few times by me and the cats, and I’m pretty sure it was damaged in the move. Maybe Santa will bring me a new mic for Christmas
So, you probably can’t increase the gain right? Audio quality by itself is allright, maybe it would help to monitor audio levels on the screen when recording.
In classic Ozzy Osbourne voice: “AdminDev on Lead Guitar!”
I do that – Everyone is in yellow/red, I’m in green. If I scream I get into the yellow or red range, but I can’t keep that volume, my wife will start banging on the wall lol.
I do, the mic quality has steadily gone down hill. I guess it couldn’t take too many hits. It’s a decent mic, too. Blue YETI.
Hm… I’ll look into this. Surprisingly the ffmpeg didn’t have any difference in the max gain, which is unusual.
The only way I can capture system audio is with OBS. I think it’s because I’m either lacking a sound card or have no idea what I’m doing
I record the show at MP4 with OBS and convert it to MP3 using FFMPEG. After that I upload it to the RSS server.
Yeah, I do that, otherwise Phil’s booming Bostonian voice drowns us out.
I’ll do a audio check throughout the week and see if I can nail it. I just moved the “recording studio” from Windows 10 to Debian Stretch so I might have … more … control?
I think it might be a mic thing, I know someone who got that specific mic on sale while I was trying to get him not to buy it, and he always sounds quiet.
I was trying to get him to buy something cheaper since I know he doesn’t do podcasting at all.
Doesn’t the mic have multiple settings on the hardware? I would look at those first, figure out if that’s your problem. You should just be able to loop the sound back to your headphones for this test.
I think it is great for podcasting if everyone is in the same room, what you could probably do is adjust the recording software and individual people’s volume level in Discord.
