Why? The secret is one word: friction

Post by Mitu100@ »

Every time I had to get out the microphone, set up the tripod, connect the cables, connect the audio interface and then find a place where I would record this podcast. The result. I very rarely recorded podcasts because I ignored the number one rule of successful podcasts. I learned this rule from the best-selling author, James Clear. James Clear writes: If you want to learn to play the guitar, then move your Playstation out of the living room and put your guitar in the place where the Playstation was.

Remove the friction, and that is also the most important rule for your podcast setup. It has to be smooth. Remove all friction, because the more friction your podcast setup has, the fewer episodes you will record because you don't feel like setting up the complicated setup every time. Therefore, no matter what setup you choose, make sure it is smooth. In other words: one click and go,

So what does my new smooth podcast azerbaijan telegram screening setup look like? I'll show you now.

First I got a microphone arm and mounted it permanently to my desk so that I don't have to get a tripod out and set it up every time. Then I got a microphone that has USB-C, which I can connect straight away to my docking station, so that I don't need an audio interface, don't have to connect thick and complicated cables, but can connect directly to the Mac. That's the Hypemic, by the way.

I also connected the Elgato Keylight to my table for the video podcast and YouTube episodes. I no longer have to set up lights or lug light stands around. My Canon camera is also connected directly to the table, also via a tripod. All cables are now plugged into my docking station. Of course, everything from Razer is linked in the description, as I said, so I only have to plug a single cable into my Macbook and I am immediately connected to all the tools: camera, light, microphone.
