It is true, I got a shout out in Visual Lounge’s blog post yesterday (by Betsy Weber).
Very cool. Betsy shared one of the tips I mentioned when I spoke about podcasting at DemoCamp Lansing. In this case, it was the using dog training clicker to mark mistakes in your audio track.
I use this when recording episodes for the Magic of Eyri Podcast and it is super helpful. The click creates a pair of spikes in the audio’s track, making the mistakes easy to spot.
I can’t take credit for coming up with this idea however, it was shared with me by the fellows at EscapePod while talking shop at last year’s Penguicon. I’m happy to of had the chance to pass this tip on to others though.
If you are a podcaster (or do anything with sound recording), I can’t recommend this tip enough: it’ll be the best $3 you’ll ever spend (you can also tap the microphone or snap your fingers, but the advantage of the clicker is that the spike will always look the same).
