Listen "015 - Anchor.fm : My Thoughts to Date"
Episode Synopsis
I'm jotting down my thoughts on Anchor.fm . This is just an interim review after two weeks of their service.
Overall it's good. I especially like the way I can upload my episode in audio segments and not one long audio file. This means it's super easy to update and episode if you plan well.
Let's say you are reviewing 4 microphones. You could upload the review for each one as it's own segment. If something changed later about the mic you could pull down and replace just that segment. And if you have recorded your episode as one long file then it's pretty easy to slice it up online on Anchor.fm without downloading it first. Although editing with the built in Anchor.fm app is a horrible experience.
I'm back to recording with my Auphonic Edit app. Can you tell?
PRODUCTION NOTES
I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone to record, edit and publish this episode.
Recording location: driver's seat of my car.
Microphone: phone mic with a foam wind cover over the mic
Headphones: None
Recording app: Auphonic Edit for Android.
Recording format: WAV
Sample rate: 44100Hz
Editing app: Auphonic Edit for Android.
Sound Treatment: 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)
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
Anchor automatically converts the WAV file into a 128kbps .m4a file
