My guest is Jason Sheesley - owner of Abridged Audio providing audio production for podcasts and audiobooks, etc. Check out his site for some cool resources. He also runs Alphatone Audio offering custom audio cables for musicians and lots of other stuff. We discussed a ton, including: Shure SM58 microphone RME Babyface Pro audio interface Macbook Pro computer Thunderbolt 3 hub Wavelab Elements from Steinberg - 2 track editor Pro Tools Monitors - Mackie 626 MkII, powered Sennheiser HD600 headphones FabFilter Pro-Q3 for EQ , sometimes as a "de-esser," and sometimes using a dynamic band around 100-300 Hz to bring that area down if and when someone gets close to the mic. Also Tlit mode and Match EQ to match guest with host. FabFilter Pro-DS de-esser FabFilter Pro-C2 in clean mode, uses it lightly w/ 4:1 ratio, fastest attack time possible, knee halfway, FabFilter Pro-L2 with slower attack in Transparent mode Vocal Rider - only to turn down the signal The close relationship between compressor and limiter Slate Digital plugins - some color the sound quite a bit! Revival - a sonic enhancer from Slate Digital Using a Tape Emulator to kinda de-harsh things Master buss:Waves WLM Thanks for being a great guest, Jason!
