Tech Specs
Podible Paradise is digitally recorded on an Apple iMac (20″ 2.1 GHz PowerPC G5) using Audio Hijack Pro 2.8.d1 to record both locally and phone interviews using Skype (Skype to Skype calls and Skype to Phone calls.) Editing is done in Audacity 1.2.6 and Garage Band 3.0.4 with additional tag editing being done in iTunes. At the computer I use a Sennheiser PC 155 USB stereo headset for monitoring and recording. Some remote recording is done with an iRiver iFP-890 MP3 recorder with the Sennheiser Headset or a Sony ECMMS907 stereo microphone.
