The Talkin Blues podcast series sources its material from existing
footage and outakes from previous shoots, as well as newly acquired
podcast shoot material. Shoot locations vary widely, and have included
recording studios, clubs, open air festivals and ocean going cruises.
The raw footage is acquired and compiled on SD video, but the output
is strictly limited to an H.264 encoding in an MP4 container as per
the Apple iPod standard and is suitable for playback only on a small
portable screen.
Depending on the session audio quality, we also engage the audio in
a 4-8 track matrix mixdown, sound restoration and reinforcement,
ambience and streaming broadcast mastering through New Lost World.
