Apple M1 - From Breakup to Makeup

Sat, 06 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Some years ago, I broke up with Apple. There was nothing that made me want to spend the Apple tax any longer. There was nothing in their lineup that made me want to buy a new Mac, and honestly there wasn’t for a while. Spending more time with Linux made me look at System76 for my next daily driver. The price versus performance made more sense going in the direction, and the “workarounds” to get certain things to work with Homebrew was an extra step I couldn’t commit to. Then some things changed.

How a Podcast Gets Made - Part 2: Post Production

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to our series: How a Podcast Gets Made. I realize now, a better title might have been, “How Our Podcast Gets Made” but it’s too late to turn back now! In Part 1, we talked about some of our equipment and working around some initial issues. In Part 2, we’re covering the post production process!

If you’re not sure what “Post Production” means, it’s the process by which sound engineers (and amateurs like me) do our best to fix any issues that were captured during recording and then try not to muck things up too much while trying to make everything sound great together.
