Music adds so much to your show. Actually, I forgot to mention in this episode that you can use music to cover up background noise. Listen to the show to explore the other benefits.
PRODUCTION NOTES
Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic
Recording device: Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder
Recording location: My car (I was picking up my kids from school, so you might hear some cars, doors slamming, and birds chirping in the background. Boy did I park in the worst place!)
Recording format: WAV (32-bit float mono)
Editing app (and EQ): Adobe Audition
Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com
Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
