Podcast Academy – The #1 Source for Podcast Education

I will be offering personal insight on gear – including mics, mixers, signal processors and accessories at The Podcast Academy on Thursday, Nov. 10th, 2005, in Ontario Ca. Also, I am doing a session on Saturday morning at the Portable Media Expo. I’ll explain how my involvement in this community has evolved, display gear routing configurations and demonstrate various aspects of software post production.

The Tascam HD-P2 Portable records up to 192kHz/24 bit files to compact flash media. Broadcast Wave audio files can be transfered to your workstation via firewire. Recordings are locked to the built-in SMPTE timecode input. The recorder offers XLR mic inputs with on-board phantom power and a really cool slanted LCD display. The word is it will be very affordable [less than $700].
