Soundplant soundboard feeds to the same Loopback virtual device and thus inputs to Wire as well, so the guests and I can hear it.my microphone, with various noise gates and EQ this is then into Wire using a Loopback virtual device.If you decide to get more serious you can always upgrade to a more “serious” microphone later. As a starter I think something as basic as this or this would be a good choice. At a push your iPhone EarPods with microphone will do the job, but if you want to make the biggest improvement for the smallest outlay a really basic microphone is your first port of call. I know that I probably should move up to a better one, but as a beginner I don’t think you need to get too wrapped up in what microphone you use. I use a very basic USB Logitech microphone. If you don’t require a soundboard it’s way simpler still. This configuration is not actually necessary, and my set up is more complex than is strictly required, as I’ll explain later. I have 3 “lines” in AH, and I record externally using both Sound Studio and Piezo. Wire is an open source, end to end encrypted VoIP that we use in preference to Skype because it is more stable, less resource intensive and has a better sound quality in our experience. Then I use Audio Hijack (AH) to control my microphone, soundboard and Wire output. My setup starts with Loopback, which almost everyone needs on the Mac if you want multiple input and output routing, and which I use to create some “virtual” devices. However I am sure a similar quantity of applications is available for both Windows, Linux or Android users. Some of the programs are cross platform, others are not. I use a Macintosh and all of my links are for the Mac or iOS platform. As is so often the case, you can choose from many paths and all of them have their own challenges – but in the the end they all take you to the same destination. There are dozens of different recording and editing applications available from the very basic to the extremely complex, (like Adobe Audition or AVID Pro Tools, for example) and there is no “right way” to do any of this. Part of this article is based on a piece I posted on Medium in reply to another article on how to record a podcast. I decided to give a bit of an overview of how I go about the process. Several listeners have asked me about how we record and edit The Essential Apple Podcast.
