Here’s a good list of links for people coming to grips with computer recording. It’s geared towards the musician more than the podcaster, but the information still holds up.

What areas of computer recording or audio are kicking your butt lately?
It is really noisy here in Anchorage, AK. I feel lucky that I am only here for another week, since the apartment I am staying in (as well as most of downtown Anchorage) is directly in the flight path of the nearby regional airport.
In fact, my podcast partner Tom took a brief moment to reflect on what he was saying just as a prop plane flew overhead. It was a cringe worthy moment at the time, but when I came to it during the post-chat edit, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was just one of those uncontrollable things, and while it may add a little character to my podcast, it also makes it painfully obvious that I am not recording in a studio.
But hey, it’s a podcast, it doesn’t have to be recorded in a studio.
My question is this: When you listen to a podcast, do background noises bug you? I assume that like me, location recordings get a pass for most of their background, but if something is recorded in a “studio,” does it bother you?
