- Reliable internet connection. We prefer wired, but if you know for sure that your wireless connection is solid we'll trust you.
- Skype account and you'll also need to add Adam. Just search for 'adamstac'.
- USB headset, or a decent microphone AND headphones. Headphones are required. They CAN NOT be iPhone headphones, they cause audio bleed
- A quiet place to record
- No mobile phones (they interfere with the audio)
- Audacity (see below) or something you are comfortable recording .aiff audio files in mono
- Do a 2 minute test recording and share it with Adam
- Add Adam as a contact on Skype. Search for 'adamstac'.
- Plan to show up ~5-10 minutes before to showtime at 3pm PT - 6pm ET and plan for 1 hour and 30 mins of show time.
- Adam will contact you on Skype before the show starts. Please do not call him, he'll be preping to start the show.
- Relax. Have fun. Bring your opinions.
Download and install Audacity.
Once you've installed Audacity, you'll need to open it and set it up to record your microphone.
Once the show is over and the recording is complete, save your Audacity project and export an .aiff to share with Adam.
After you've exported the file, share the file with Adam via Dropbox or any other private URL. Email the link to adam -at- theindustry.cc.
