Chilled Podcast

The Making Of Chilled

Ted — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:05:58 +0000

Here’s a brief rundown of how I make an episode of Chilled:

First, I search for podsafe music and sort the tracks into playlists from iTunes. Finding the music is very time consuming. I usually use Promonet for legal music.

An episode’s playlist is taken into Ableton Live for mixing. Lots of time is spent getting nice transitions, either through mixing the tracks beat-wise, or blending from one to the next (I have my tricks). Remixes for special episodes are also done in Live.

The mix is exported and brought into Audacity for mastering (track volume and timing are cleaned up). I also use Audacity to record each episode’s intro voiceover. I make a new voiceover every time.

The final mix and voiceover are combined and enhanced in Garageband. It’s a surprisingly good program for enhancing podcasts. I add chapters, album artwork, even more audio leveling, and links for downloading or buying the songs. The mix and enhancements are exported into a m4a file.

I use Podcast Maker to keep track of my podcast’s feed. It can also upload the episode to the podcast’s server, but I like Fetch for FTP uploading. I use Dreamhost for my server, by the way.

Chilled Dance Mix 6: Dubby

After working on this mix for five weeks, this mix isn’t just slick, it glides. Ha ha. Man, I had fun making this.
Put on some headphones, get on your treadmill and jam out to this mix’s dubby funkiness.
