I started a new side-project, the Anarchy Gumbo Podcast. Middle-of-the-night chat and chatter with a rotating cast of cool folks.

New Live call-in show, starting this Sunday, March 18

In addition to the usual weekly podcast, which comes out sometime between Tuesday and Thursday, the Feens are now doing a second weekly show on the Liberty Radio Network, and it’s LIVE! You can call in with your questions or comments.

Freedom Feens LIVE! expands on the Feens’ weekly Wednesday podcasts, but now they’re kicking the hornets’ nest live. Talk back to the back talkers every Sunday from 5-7 PM Eastern. Call in soon, before they get droned!

Live studio number: 765-27-FEENS.
(765-273-3367)

Calling is free from most phones, as most plans now include free long distance in the US. We’ll eventually be adding a Skype line for non-US listeners. Though if you have a paid Skype account, you can call our phone number on that in the meantime.

Live listen link is HERE.

Other internet and phone listening options are here.

Show Times in different US time zones:

5-7 PM Sunday Eastern time
4-6 PM Sunday Central time
3-5 PM Sunday Mountain time
2-5 PM Sunday West Coast time

Satellite (Free-to-Air)

You can also listen anywhere in North America via KU Satellite Radio. Galaxy 19, Transponder 11, 11929 MHz, Vertical Polarization, Symbol Rate: 22000 , SID: 16, ONID-TID: 3016.

Here’s our current coverage map.

Why pay monthly for satellite radio, when you can get Freedom Feens LIVE! and the rest of LRN.FM (and many other great and interesting shows and stations) on satellite for free? Audio quality is better than with Internet streaming. LRN.fm has launched 24-7 broadcast on Free-to-Air Ku-Band Satellite.

If you have a view of 97 degrees West in the southern sky in North America, you only need to get a Ku-band dish and Free-to-Air receiver, hook it up, and you’ve got LRN.FM (and a bunch of other channels) 24/7 with no subscription fees! (It also makes for a good audio source with which you can rebroadcast LRN on FM or AM!)

You can buy inexpensive KU Sattelite recievers and dishes HERE. Go here for a detailed signal map with minimum dish width for your location.

The Freedom Feens love commerce, and our shows are a good place to reach a lot of liberty-loving people at a low cost. More info is HERE.

Tell two friends!:

(Watch full screen at 720 P for best audio for the before and after tests.) Changing the Tube on the inexpensive ART MP USB Tube Preamp gives a MUCH better sound. But it’s hard to figure out how to open the case, and it’s easy to damage things while doing so. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it, easily and without breaking anything. Also included here are audio comparisons of before and after replacing the tube.

Get the ART MP USB Tube pre-amp

Get the Tung-sol replacement tube

Microphone: The Nady RSM-4 is apparently discontinued, but the Nady RSM-5 is very similar sonically and not much more expensive

SETTINGS

Here are the settings I use on the Pre-Amp, left to right on the front panel. These are a good place to start, but different mics will require different settings:

GAIN knob: 36 db
Buttons:
Gain: in
Impedance: out
Filter: in
Phantom: out (for ribbon mics and dynamic mics. Should be In for Condenser mics. Condenser mics will also require much lower gain settings)
Limit: in
Phase: out
OUTPUT knob: 1 db

In addition, I did a little bit of sound fluffing on both the before and after samples, same on both of them. It looks like a lot, but it’s subtle. The sound before doing this sounds largely the same, but I can tell the difference, and this is what I do always on my podcasting audio anyway. I take the sound recorded out of the pre-amp (recorded via USB into my computer on SoundForge), and bring it into Sony Vegas. I add a little bit of EQ:

And a tiny bit of Track Noise Gate:

and a tiny bit of Track Compression:

Then I render it out, bring it back into SoundForge, and normalize:

Before normalizing in SoundForge

Normalizing in SoundForge

After normalizing in SoundForge

That’s how I’m getting amazing podcast audio these days. Enjoy!

If you’re recording singing instead of talking, use the “music” setting for normalizing in SoundForge instead of the “Speech” setting.
