I want to try something new this week with what I'm calling a "Community Podcast." This episode dives into some YouTube behind the scenes, creator-related updates, and even general personal updates about what I've been up to. It's almost like a vlog podcast...a vlogcast!

🎙This week's  mic:
•Shure SM7B
https://geni.us/tepsm7b(Amazon)

•The SM7B was running through the Rodecaster Pro II with the my custom SM7B preset.

🎙This week's gear:
I'm using a "Mystery Mic" that I can't reveal just yet, but it was running through the Mackie DLZ Creator. I've had some issues with the DLZ in the past, but recent updates have made things work a lot better and I'm liking it quite a bit.

🎙This week's microphone:
Audio Technica AT897: https://bhpho.to/3P7YwSL (B&H)
Here's my full review on it: https://youtu.be/5o8g5CqHCMg

The AT897 was running through the Rodecaster Pro II using the Rode Broadcaster preset. This is not normally how this shotgun mic is supposed to be used, but it's fun to see how it works as a podcast mic!

Between Rodecasters, Gigcasters, Mixcasters...all the 'Casters, it can be tough to decide which audio recorder/mixer/interface is best for you. This episode breaks down some of the most popular and capable podcast mixers along with some of my recommendations for which ones suit which needs best. 

🔉 Here are the mixers that I discuss:
•Rodecaster Pro II: https://bhpho.to/3wCwaqI (B&H)
•Rodecaster Duo: https://bhpho.to/3VmWyRl (B&H)
•Boss Gigcaster: https://geni.us/gigcaster (Amazon)
•Mackie DLZ Creator: https://geni.us/FR4q (Amazon)

🎙This week's microphone:
Shure SM7B: https://geni.us/tepsm7b (Amazon)

The SM7B was running through the Rodecaster Duo using a preset that I created after following the instructions in this video from Brodie Brazil and Home Studio Pro: https://youtu.be/U4hVGtdo5MYI

This one goes to 11! This first episode of Season 11 covers a bit of gear talk (including the new Shure Sm7dB) and then dives into the absolute nightmare that is YouTube's Invalid Traffic issue.

• Daniel Batal's awesome Twitter post:
https://x.com/Daniel_Batal/status/1706674029778674040?s=20

•This video does an incredible job of explaining the YouTube advertiser issue which I believe is connected to Invalid Traffic:
https://youtu.be/hWJrsz_cmas?si=CBl2HJ00QMsqsLTF

• This article explains the issue with YouTube advertisers claiming to be misled. Interestingly enough, it appeared about a month before the recent surge of channels being struck with "invalid traffic."

Shure SM7dB: https://geni.us/sm7db (Amazon)

Chris Raub joins the show for this final episode to share his experience as a ska fan and musician from the 90's through today. For me, hearing from truly talented musicians on what stands out the most about ska is fascinating.

We also discovered that we were both at the same Aquabats show I talked about in Episode 3!

Mike's back on the mic with me and this time he's been doing some research to take us on a journey through the different "waves" of ska, beginning with early roots in 1940's Jamaica all the way through the current scene and everything somewhere in the between.
