The Mastering Show #89 - Fundamentals for Podcasters with Matt Boudreau

August 5th, 2023 BY Jon Tidey - No Comments

If you’re not already listening to Matt Boudreau’s fantastic podcast Working Class Audio, you need to start now !

Matt is a highly respected mixing and mastering engineer who has recently moved into working in Dolby Atmos, where he’s already picked up some seriously impressive credits - oh, and also produces one of the top Audio podcasts around.

Which is why if I try to think of anyone better to learn the fundamentals of good audio for podcasting and journalism from… well, I can’t. And the great news is that Matt has put together a new “PodClass” course to help people with just that.

In this episode we talk about the course and what inspired it, but also plenty of other great stuff, including

  • Making the move from pro musician to audio engineer
  • Getting started in Atmos - workflow, dynamics and more
  • Work-Life balance - is it better to be a lark, or a night-owl ?
  • The secret advantages of running your own podcast...
  • …and the crucial importance of great audio (And what it has to do with COVID lockdowns !)

Enjoy - and if you want to try Matt’s course, make sure to use the discount code TMS to get a 30% discount and help support The Mastering Show at the same time !
