1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,120 Alright, this one's another one. 2 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,280 Thank you for coming back. 3 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,920 Thank you everyone for listening along for however long you have. 4 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,080 I don't know how well the audio is going to be on this one because I'm doing this one 5 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,839 as an example of how easy it is to just continue recording whenever you get the itch. 6 00:00:36,839 --> 00:00:49,680 So if you have an iPhone and you have a set of wired headphones, always, always, no matter 7 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,080 what anyone tells you, always get wired headphones or a wired mic. 8 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,720 No matter what, there is a bit of an argument to be made about getting a wireless microphone 9 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,880 without the headphone pairing and even that, I would stray away from it just because you're 10 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,720 getting a little bit more expensive when you don't need to get right off the bat. 11 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,880 If you have the money to shell out, go ahead and shell out for a microphone that's wireless. 12 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,400 Go for it because it's a little bit better than being tethered to the device that you're 13 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,960 recording to. 14 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:29,960 And I apologize for any plosives that you may hear, but when you have wired headphones, 15 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,960 one you have essentially zero latency. 16 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,759 That's for the recording and for the monitoring. 17 00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:43,100 That is the biggest deal that you can ever worry about and that is monitoring. 18 00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:47,320 You want to be able to hear what your voice sounds like, what kind of background noise 19 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,399 there is and right now, I got quite a bit of background noise. 20 00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:56,520 The reason being is I'm in my work van. 21 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:04,359 I'm in a RAM 1500, whatever, ProMaster you want to call it and I am driving on the most 22 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,799 rocky of back roads and hopefully you won't be able to tell. 23 00:02:08,799 --> 00:02:13,880 I say hopefully because all of these audio processing algorithms have their own strengths 24 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,160 and weaknesses, they can tune out certain things and tune up certain things. 25 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,040 They can make your voice sound studio quality with a couple of clicks and ticks and s's 26 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,920 and who knows what, maybe they'll take care of plosives better. 27 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:32,960 Maybe not, but that's where proper mic technique comes in and speaking of proper mic technique, 28 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,079 I'm not doing the best job at it, but I'm doing as much as I possibly can. 29 00:02:38,079 --> 00:02:42,519 Then coming into it, say, no, no, that's another topic. 30 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,880 I'm going on rabbit trails. 31 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:51,920 My point is this is an opener for episode two of the Cloudcasts, how to record a podcast 32 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,640 segment. 33 00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:00,560 This one is just showing you, I decided to record this episode while I'm in my vehicle 34 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,560 driving to a job that is pretty far away, so I have some drive time, but I'm in the 35 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,920 least audio treated area you could ever imagine. 36 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:18,160 As an example, as this is still on topic, on audio treatment, I spoke with a lady who's 37 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,959 trying to get the best possible sounding audio quality, essentially audio book recording 38 00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:30,480 audio quality, and she has a room setup that was built custom, just a few sound panels 39 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,040 on the wall, but the reverb is insane. 40 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,880 And I'm in an untreated van with nothing but hard surfaces, nonporous materials everywhere, 41 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,160 everywhere around me, everything's plastic, everything's glass, everything's just rickety 42 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:53,960 and shaky, and even then, the podcast will turn out better than, I want to say, 70% of 43 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,600 other podcasts out there, because there is a good amount of high quality audio out there, 44 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,519 but still, there is an even greater amount of garbage quality audio. 45 00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:10,560 And all you have to do is run a few effects through Audacity or Fertiloupe Studio or Premiere 46 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Pro, I think Premiere Pro is, no, Adobe Audition, you can run through any of these programs, 47 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:24,480 use any audio filtering you want, and you're still miles ahead by applying one filter. 48 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120 That's what I'm getting at here. 49 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,120 Get to recording and get to sending something out there. 50 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Don't take Claude's inconsistent upload schedule as an example. 51 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,160 There are plenty of people more dedicated than I am as far as consistency of recording 52 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,280 and uploading, but not as good in the audio quality department. 53 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,360 I'm not the best, not by a long shot, but I still only want to produce something that 54 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760 people could actually suffer through. 55 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:58,920 So, be that as it may, this episode is actually about art and about naming your show. 56 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,400 My question is, how will you name your show? 57 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520 What is your show about? 58 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,660 Is your show about quilting? 59 00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:14,080 Like I mentioned in the last episode, is your show about minor league baseball? 60 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,840 Is it about little league baseball? 61 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,560 You want to talk about being a coach of a little league team because there are no shows 62 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,080 that, well, I mean, I haven't looked into it, but let's just say you've looked into 63 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,360 it and you haven't found any show that tells you how to be a coach in little league baseball, 64 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,000 and you decide to do the entire world a favor by putting a show out there that talks about 65 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,080 dealing with all of the other parents that don't agree with the rulings to deal with 66 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,840 other parents who are a little more competitive than even their children are. 67 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,160 Whatever the case may be. 68 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,000 You want to coach little league and you want to help people understand what it means to 69 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,160 be on a little league team, everything in that nature. 70 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,040 I don't know a single thing about little league baseball. 71 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,720 I don't know a single thing about mighty, mighty tykes or little tykes or mighty mikes 72 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,440 or whatever you call that minor league football team. 73 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,080 Nothing. 74 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,080 But you do. 75 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,720 So when it comes to naming your show, you want something that is in the lingo of that 76 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,320 field. 77 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:26,640 So if I was doing something for, I don't know, let's say restoration because I have experience 78 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,200 in restoration or finished carpentry or framing will come up with a few names for podcasts 79 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,640 about all the topics. 80 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,479 Now it's hard for me to imagine someone doing a podcast about framing. 81 00:06:37,479 --> 00:06:42,320 It's hard for me to see someone doing a podcast about finished carpentry podcast. 82 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,039 And I'm saying that specifically because I think a podcast is audio only video only 83 00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:50,560 or sorry, video podcasts are just videos. 84 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,360 So you can call it a masterclass. 85 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,919 You can call it a YouTube channel. 86 00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:55,919 You can call it a video docu series. 87 00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:57,080 Call it whatever you want. 88 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,840 But I wouldn't necessarily call it a podcast. 89 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:09,760 Either way, if I was purely thinking of the naming for that subject matter, that being, 90 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,440 let's say, restoration, I want to talk about everything that the restoration world is about. 91 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:24,000 Let's just say I would come up with a name that sounds something similar to read in on 92 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000 restoration or water logs, something like this. 93 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,200 Waterlogged, something like that. 94 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Something where it's little punchy, little catchy, little tongue-in-cheek or something 95 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,840 that has the subject matter of the podcast. 96 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,600 Also the content of the podcast kind of in the name. 97 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,760 I would suggest that people get a little bit creative with their naming structure because 98 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,360 this is your show. 99 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,360 This is your baby. 100 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,360 This is your art project. 101 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,120 This shows how creative you are. 102 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,640 This also shows creativity aside, not everyone's creative. 103 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,560 You could just be as upfront as you want. 104 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,560 Restoration podcast. 105 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640 I mean, that's better for SEO, I would say. 106 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,160 Much better for SEO. 107 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:18,600 But how do you want to represent your podcast is up to you and your personality. 108 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,200 That's also a big thing. 109 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,120 If I'm a person who likes to be a little bit fun, I'll say fun. 110 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Fun is a word, whatever. 111 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,080 If you want to be fun with it, then do what I did. 112 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,919 But if you want to be just clear, just set in your ways, like as an example, you have 113 00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:42,480 the Huberman Labs podcast. 114 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,480 Andrew Huberman. 115 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:50,680 He's a neuropsychologist, neuroscientist at Stanford. 116 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:55,400 He's got one of the best podcasts when it comes to health, wellness, anything that you 117 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,599 want to know about health, anything you want to know about science and medicine. 118 00:09:00,599 --> 00:09:01,599 And it's wonderful. 119 00:09:01,599 --> 00:09:03,479 It's well produced. 120 00:09:03,479 --> 00:09:05,599 He's a great host. 121 00:09:05,599 --> 00:09:07,079 He's good at what he does. 122 00:09:07,079 --> 00:09:10,359 But there's not much creativity involved. 123 00:09:10,359 --> 00:09:11,359 There is a little bit. 124 00:09:11,359 --> 00:09:13,280 It's got his last name and it's got the word labs. 125 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160 I mean, that's kind of cool. 126 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,680 Oh, he's got his own lab, but it's a podcast. 127 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:18,920 That's kind of cool. 128 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,760 But you know that it's got something to do with laboratory things. 129 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,079 A laboratory, a laboratory, however you want to pronounce it, wherever you're from. 130 00:09:30,079 --> 00:09:33,120 But that's the idea. 131 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160 That's the idea of his show. 132 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:42,199 So speaking of the idea of your show, what exactly do you have in mind for your own show? 133 00:09:42,199 --> 00:09:47,480 If you're on a podcasting 2.0 enabled application, go ahead and set in a boost. 134 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,080 Any amount doesn't matter. 135 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,880 I don't think there's a minimum. 136 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,600 I think you can do one Satoshi. 137 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Just send in whatever you want and let me know what your name, the name of your show 138 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,000 is or what you want it to be. 139 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,240 And we'll talk about it. 140 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,240 I mean, we can if you want. 141 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,240 We can if you want. 142 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,560 If you just want to use this as a springboard and you don't want to really have interaction, 143 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:10,560 that's fine. 144 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:16,720 Just think about that specifically when it comes to the beginnings of your show. 145 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,040 What your name, what the name of your show is basically sets the tone for the rest of 146 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,040 the podcast. 147 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,520 The rest of your production is basically based on that. 148 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,480 Moving on to choosing art. 149 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:37,520 Because artwork is, it's either overlooked or, what is it? 150 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,040 It's either overlooked or the main focus. 151 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,520 And that's, well not always, but it's post off in that. 152 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,560 It's either overlooked where it's just some random piece of nonsense that you can find 153 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,199 on Unsplash or it's something that's so highly produced that the rest of the show is kind 154 00:10:54,199 --> 00:10:59,040 of like, like you'd think, hey, where did the content go? 155 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,439 Is it just the really cool album art? 156 00:11:01,439 --> 00:11:02,439 Like I get it. 157 00:11:02,439 --> 00:11:07,360 You got some gems in here, but it seems like your personality is lacking a bit. 158 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,160 That's just my own, my own critique of most people's artwork. 159 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,280 Your artwork doesn't have to be done by your own hand. 160 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,240 It doesn't have to be done professionally. 161 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,719 Just produce it well. 162 00:11:19,719 --> 00:11:20,880 Make sure that it shows up. 163 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:27,319 When you're looking at artwork on your smartphone, you see a pretty large image whenever it comes 164 00:11:27,319 --> 00:11:31,280 to the, what you call it, the app that you choose to use. 165 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,880 Most apps don't actually produce a large enough image file for the searching of the 166 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,079 applications, or excuse me, searching of the podcasts. 167 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,920 Reason being is, my goodness, that's a little bit of up talk there. 168 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:54,280 The reason being for the small size of the thumbnail of your artwork is that we're trying 169 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,640 to fit as many podcasts in this search feed as possible. 170 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,320 So we're going to shrink down the size of the image to something that's recognizable. 171 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,680 Sure, if you have a consistent album art cover. 172 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:13,760 That's at the expense of not showing everything you may have in your image. 173 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,160 So if you have small text, as far as let's say you have a portrait shot of yourself. 174 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,560 And let's say you have a pretty big, a pretty big portrait shot of yourself. 175 00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:27,680 So you know who you are, and you got some decent lighting on your photos. 176 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,680 It's good. 177 00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,560 You want your photo, you're a good looking person. 178 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,000 You want people to know that this is the host. 179 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,199 Okay. 180 00:12:34,199 --> 00:12:35,699 What about your name of your show? 181 00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:36,700 How big is the font? 182 00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:38,160 Is it behind your head? 183 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,000 That's taking away from the name of the show. 184 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,760 That's fine because it's already in the title. 185 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,080 Is it very small and in the bottom corner? 186 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,440 What if I have to squint to look at it? 187 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,560 Not everyone has as good eyesight as you do if you have good eyesight. 188 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,560 And if you have poor eyesight, not everyone has as poor eyesight as you do. 189 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:53,480 You want something that's kind of in the middle. 190 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,000 You can use only text and even that's alright. 191 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Why not? 192 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000 Go for it. 193 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,280 That's kind of cool sometimes where you have just simply text on the screen saying, 194 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,960 I mean, for example, Restoration Podcast. 195 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,960 I bet. 196 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,960 Now I know. 197 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,160 It's like, that's pretty intense. 198 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,280 You have it on the title and on the image. 199 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Now I know what I'm looking for and I know you got what I'm looking for. 200 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,320 Cool. 201 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:23,360 When it comes to commissioning someone to do the artwork for you, do you know any artists 202 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,360 personally? 203 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,760 Do you know anyone that is in your family line, your close circle of friends? 204 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,520 If you're trying to do a podcast, you are either, well, not either. 205 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,640 There's not only two options, but there's a possibility that you are an outgoing person. 206 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,079 There's a possibility that you have a little bit of extraversion in you. 207 00:13:41,079 --> 00:13:46,120 So you should have a decent number of people that you are around that you've made friends 208 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,800 with in the past that should have some sort of creativity in their background as well. 209 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,880 But in a different sense, like artistry, why don't you ask them if they want to do a commission 210 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,880 for you? 211 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,800 A value for value proposition. 212 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,079 I'm going to produce a really valuable podcast, I believe. 213 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,440 Would you mind putting out some artwork for me? 214 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,160 Maybe they're not seeing the value exchange as being comparable. 215 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,480 So at that point, just offer something in return that you may have if you live the value 216 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240 for value lifestyle. 217 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,040 The way I see it is kind of the iron ran version of things from Atlas Shrugged. 218 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,840 So if I'm going to, I don't receive things for free. 219 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,760 That's not like someone had to work for it. 220 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,319 So if I value what you gave, what you provided for me, I will return that value back in some 221 00:14:33,319 --> 00:14:34,319 way, shape or form. 222 00:14:34,319 --> 00:14:38,600 If you tell me you're not going to take money, all right, I still owe you something. 223 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,160 It doesn't have to be money, but I still owe you something and I will provide that value 224 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,360 back. 225 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,460 So that's kind of where I'm at on commissioning people to do things for you. 226 00:14:49,460 --> 00:14:55,240 Do your very best to provide value back if someone provided value to you. 227 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Something of which this episode is actually going to be a little bit shorter and I'm going 228 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,120 to round it out with the value for value segment and that will be with recognizing a certain 229 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:11,920 someone who came back after a year of me being on hiatus, but I'll get back to that. 230 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240 Finding your artwork. 231 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:20,840 I just learned about a thing about artificial intelligence that and every time I say the 232 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,960 word artificial intelligence, I intend to preface that with the idea that there's nothing 233 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,920 intelligent about it. 234 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,280 There's nothing special about it. 235 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,800 It's simply an algorithm, a good one at that for what it does and what it claims to do. 236 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,720 Sure, I can agree with that, but there's nothing inherently special or intelligent about the 237 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:50,520 algorithm and there's actually a growing amount of evidence that it will implode or just destroy 238 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:57,680 itself because if it is a self-learning algorithm, the 0.1% of error margin that it has will compound 239 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,880 in a snowball effect that it learns on that isn't corrected because that small margin 240 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,560 of error is acceptable to humans so we allow it to pass through until the next training 241 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,040 protocol where it's still somewhat acceptable, but now the entire data set has trained on 242 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:18,240 it and it just continues to fail and get worse. 243 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480 Either way. 244 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,920 There are some decent and mid-journey. 245 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,960 Mid-journey is a decent AI art generator. 246 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,120 It tends to make things look a little bit more like they came from DeviantArt, the website 247 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,960 if you wanted to look into that, but if you wanted to, you can put in the right prompts 248 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,800 for any of these AI image generators. 249 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,680 If you know how to write the prompt properly, then you should be able to get any style of 250 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,800 artwork that you desire. 251 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:56,520 If you wanted to use a completely free, without any restrictions, I would say. 252 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,920 Except for, I mean, no NSFW stuff or anything like that. 253 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:06,280 You could use dolly2 and I will have that linked in the chapter art of this episode. 254 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,000 There's going to be a minimal amount of chapters in this episode and this is going to be a 255 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,520 shorter one because this topic does not need to be explained too much. 256 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,680 Most people get the idea of how to name their own show. 257 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,280 They already have a name in mind. 258 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,119 Most people have the idea of what kind of artwork they have in mind, but this is not 259 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,240 everyone is the same. 260 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,440 This is for the people that don't have that in their mindset. 261 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,600 And I'm even thinking about adding a part two to the part one on how to record, how 262 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:40,440 to start recording because not everyone gets the idea of how audacity works innately to 263 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,879 understand even which button is the record button. 264 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,880 Excuse me, button. 265 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,120 Still, this is for those people. 266 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:55,520 Use a website that can build your artwork for you. 267 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:02,040 If you want something more simple, just like in the sense of a logo almost, you can go 268 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:11,040 to Canva, canva.com and they produce decent looking logos for cheap if you don't want 269 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,040 to do anything extremely special, but it is acceptable. 270 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,200 It's somewhat corporate. 271 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,600 There's almost not any distinguishability of your artwork if someone else uses the same 272 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:31,240 service, but you can get kind of crazy with the color scheme. 273 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,620 You can get kind of crazy with some of the glyphs that you can add. 274 00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:38,200 It gets pretty crazy if you know what you're doing, if you don't and you want something 275 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:44,040 standard and you think your content's quality is better than your artwork or power to you. 276 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,440 At that point, keep it up. 277 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,320 Keep going with the way you already have your mindset going. 278 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,400 Don't let Claude change your mind. 279 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,280 This is for the people who don't know. 280 00:18:54,280 --> 00:19:00,360 If you do know, you may as well have skipped this episode completely, but this is for everyone 281 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:01,760 who doesn't know. 282 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,720 And that's what I'm trying to cater this towards, the people who are just starting 283 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,800 and the people who want just a little bit more information, a few resources that maybe 284 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,680 they haven't heard of or maybe they haven't thought of using in this way. 285 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,600 Last but not least, before I get to the value for value, which will round this segment out, 286 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,400 as always, I have to shout out this product because it is phenomenal in how well it can 287 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,720 do to clean up the audio and hopefully by the end of this episode, or excuse me, by 288 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,840 the time I upload it and when I go through it, I will notice the difference and you will 289 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,280 have not. 290 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:45,840 But right about now, I'll go ahead and just let some of the background noise that you 291 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,840 didn't hear much of throughout the episode, just bleed through the recording so you can 292 00:19:51,840 --> 00:20:01,159 hear what I'm talking about as far as background noise that this tool cleaned up and just, 293 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:07,760 it's just unbelievable as far as untreated rooms, you'll hear what I'm talking about. 294 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,640 But I'm also using a secret weapon that has a noise gate that already cuts out most of 295 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,200 the noise. 296 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,840 So that's going to be episode three, I think I already mentioned that on how to record 297 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,440 a little bit better and cleaner, I think I mentioned that before, either episode three 298 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,140 or four will be the best way to get the best initial audio versus doing way too much editing 299 00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:31,440 in the back end. 300 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,400 So for now, that's it, the last tool that I wanted to mention that I've been dancing 301 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,640 around for a second, Adobe Speech Enhance. 302 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,920 I think everyone who's mentioned this tool on YouTube has been paid to do it. 303 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,480 I haven't, I'm a podcaster, I have not enough listenership to even get on anyone's radar, 304 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,820 but this is something that you should get on if you don't have the best recording environment 305 00:20:55,820 --> 00:20:59,120 but you really want to record a show. 306 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:04,280 Start using the tools that you have at your disposal to get better sounding audio quality 307 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,080 even though you can't afford the massive studio. 308 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280 There you go, that's my endorsement. 309 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,800 It is paid now for less, it is paid for the full suite that was there in beta, but you 310 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,439 have it. 311 00:21:19,439 --> 00:21:25,320 So as a last point of note, I'm going to go ahead and get into the value for value segment 312 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:39,480 right about now. 313 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,360 And this one is not going to be the longest one, this is going to be a little bit of a 314 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:48,000 short one because this came from, this boost came from Ptar. 315 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,720 Ptar, glad to see you too buddy, glad to see you too. 316 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,560 He says glad to see you back bud with a melting face emoji. 317 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,720 I'm glad Fountain supports emojis now, but yes, yes it has been quite a long time, there's 318 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:09,440 been a few job shifts, there's been a few changes in Claude's life, there's been quite 319 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:16,840 a bit that's gone on since the last episode and yikes, yikes. 320 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,540 I'll save this for another episode, there's been a major development that a lot of people 321 00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:26,879 disagree with, but then again, it's just something, I'll save that for the next episode, or another 322 00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:31,200 one in the future if I get poked and prodded enough by enough people. 323 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:37,360 But for now, yeah, thank you, thank you, it's always great to talk to you, it's always great 324 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:43,159 to get support from you, to get everything that I can from you, so thank you very much 325 00:22:43,159 --> 00:22:47,879 Ptar for the boost, thank you for being around for so long, thanks for supporting the podcasting 326 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,840 2.0 community, community, thanks for everything you do for everyone, not just for me, it's 327 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,400 just encouraging to have someone that's been in your corner since the very beginning. 328 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Anyway, that one's gonna round this one out guys, very short, very sweet, very simple, 329 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,680 just a quick one, why not? 330 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:29,640 And I'll catch you guys in the next one where we talk about more on how to podcast.
