The setup he's suggesting is cool, but it costs a lot of money is isn't easy to set up.
If you want a less expensive & simple alternative, try this:
MAC
- Connect: Skype
- Record: Ecamm Call Recorder
- Mic: rode Podcaster or Blue Yeti
- Edit: ScreenFlow (or iMovie)
- MP3: use the converter that comes with Ecamm Call Recorder
PC
Use the same thing, but try VodBurner for recording and editing.
What I love about Dan's programs is that he can get the people he has on to care about their sound because he has them on consistently. At Mixergy, the entrepreneurs I interview don't seem to have the same appreciation.
My expectation when I was doing some of this stuff was to expect to have flight kits for folks with a usb soundcard + mic + IFB with in-plastic tips. Theoretically it'd be "plug in the USB soundcard" and go.
Points of failure and all of that... but it was a fun thought.
Why not buy a few high quality microphones and have kits and instructions that you send out to interviewees with return shipping (or direct shipping to the next interviewee)?
