I am really pleased with my mobile set up. It is a bit clunky with all the long wires and cables but it works. The last two podcasts were edited, formatted and published with the Tascam and the 400. All done within an hour of recording, from the canal to the hotel room. That was a good choice, feeling pleased with myself.
The Process:
Walk along the canal/ area/ etc and start the recording and talk. Check to see if I am reasonably happy with how it turned out. Then make my way back to the hotel and set up the raspberry pi 400. Plug the SD card into the pi and transfer the audio file from the card to the pi. Eject the card and plug in the Tascam DR-40 to use as the soundcard. Load Reaper as sweep cannot export at MP3 on the free version, edit in reaper using fade in and outs. Export to the desktop, give it a listen. Load wordpress and upload the file to the podcast folder. Create a new post linking the file and writing bumpf. Podcast published.
