![]() My internet radio station is in the final stages before I do a soft launch (should be later this week that it goes ‘on air’ subject to the licenses going through). The dbx 286s has one dedicated channel and the enhancer dials are well worth using to improve the crispness and clarity of your voice. ![]() The 286s is a popular mic preamp/processor amongst voice over artists and I recommend it even if you’re hosting your own radio show or podcast as it can add extra power to your voice. The 266XS has two channels (good for voice over and an instrument like a guitar) and no enhancer which allows you to tweak the voice to sound great, as I explain in episode 3 of the Music Radio Creative podcast, it’s got some great compression and gating features on it if you’re looking to reduce noise on different sources. He uses the dbx 266XS and wanted to know if there are any reasons why he should use the 286s instead. Amnon asks about the differences between the dbx 266XL and the dbx 286s ( which I recommend on my resources page). My second email in this episode is from Amnon Nissan who hosts his own radio show at Nissan Communications. Tom does go on to day that, “today’s listeners would not want to listen to music in AM quality”. He says, “yes, I’d have loved to have listened to these stations in the quality of today but it wasn’t possible”. Tom rightly points out that it’s not the quality of the audio but the content and referred to the British pirate radio stations like Radio London and Radio Luxembourg. The first was from Tom Wilson who was in touch about my comments in episode 3 about podcast audio quality being essential and ensuring you don’t sound like you’re on AM radio. I mentioned a couple of emails I received via the contact form on this podcast. It’s not a feature in Stitcher that I’ve seen widely used but you can also follow friends on Stitcher and discover more great podcasts. All my listening habits sync easily to ‘the cloud’.It works well with Facebook and Twitter making my podcast listening experience social (I can share podcasts I like with friends seemlessly).There’s a ‘smart station’ that constantly introduces me to interesting new podcasts that I like.I can create continuous ‘radio stations’ based on my interests (podcasting, business, internet marketing etc.).Why I Love the Stitcher App for Listening to Podcasts I click play on a podcast and they occasionally don’t play and for no apparent reason.It’s slow to load on my iPhone 4 and occasionally force quits.The app doesn’t sync properly with iTunes.It was marking hundreds of podcasts (that I’d listened to) as unplayed.I love Apple products (only this week I ordered my iPad Mini) but I’m finding the podcasts app more and more difficult to use. Downcast and Instacast are some popular alternatives to Apple’s native podcast app but I finally decided to make the switch away from Apple’s native podcasts app to the Stitcher Smart Radio app for all my podcast listening.
