Other podcasts:
- Check out TheAmpHour.com sidebar to see other podcasts we like.
Hardware I use:
- The Audio Technica AT2020USB microphone.
- Dave uses the Samson C01U.
- I use a the Nady MPF-6 pop filter to block air getting to the microphone.
- I use the Samson SP01 shock mount to reduce vibration in the microphone.
- And I have the On Stage DS720 mic stand to hold the shock mount on my desk.
- When I’m out and about or need to record multiple people at once, I use the Zoom H1 handheld.
- While recording this video, I had my Olympus ME-15 lapel mic plugged into the H1, which was acting as a USB mic.
- If I’m in a pinch, I use the microphone on my Logitech 9000 USB WebCam
Software I use:
- The key piece of software for recording multiple people on a podcast is Mumble, an open source communication program on Sourceforge.
- We rent server space on a service called MumbleBoxes to host our server. The software running on the server is called Murmur, also open source.
- For editing, we use Audacity to mix all of the audio.
- Before mixing, we use a program called the Levelator in order to compress and clean up the audio.
- Online, we use LibSyn to host our files and act as a content delivery network.
- We also use WordPress as a blogging platform.

Chris, I had no idea so much effort went into podcasting. Thanks for sharing !
Awesome! I was looking to revamp my podcasting setup for a new podcast I’m looking at starting. Mumble/Murmur looks awesome.
Have you looked at looking your own Murmur server instead of using MumbleBox?
I tried that for a little while at my house. It wasn’t hard, but the connection fell apart. If I had the time to set it up elsewhere, it would work fine (I chose somewhere in Cali because that seemed like the closest place in between me and Dave), but really it’s best to just go with the pros. Well worth the $2/month.
U just use teh podbean for it almost same price 3 dollar a month, more than good enough for me. I also have the same mics, zoom h1 and at2020. sometimes i just set the h1 on the desk on the little tripod and use that for podcast. I like the at2020 best though for in teh studio podcast
Chris, loved the show, I have watched 30+ videos on podcast in and is insight regarding mumble is amazing. The issue I am having is figuring out where my calls are being stored. I figure they are being recorded someone on my Mac but I have no idea how to retrieve them. I am hoping you have some insight about this because I am pulling my hair out, I don’t like doing this since I am becoming less and less attractive to my wife. Anyway, any help would be immensely appreciated.
Interesting info. Best wishes. Charlie
That was interesting. Thanks.
