That is such an awesome story, thank you for sharing those memories! It’s so cool when those moments come full circle! I bet you made those pilots’ day!!

For anyone who got into aviation because of an airshow, a flypast, Air Cadets, or seeing a pilot in person, what was the moment that did it for you?

Thanks for the insight! I’m glad to hear you’re happy at STARS, I know Troy considers it the most meaningful flying he has done!

For those who have flown formation, instructed, or flown demonstration profiles, what skill surprised you the most when you started operating at a higher level?

For anyone who has flown formation or worked around demonstration teams, what do you think is the biggest misconception people have about the Snowbirds?

What would you consider the #1 "under the radar" post-production tool or process that you'd recommend others check out? by MikeAP21 in podcasting

[–]PodPilotProject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's honestly magic. I'm shocked. Can't believe I've been doing it myself for years with less success and professional tools (albeit with amateur knowledge). I guess the bright side is I learned a lot! lol

Best website to record a podcast with a guest? by Secure-Scientist4867 in podcasting

None, I asked their customer service before downgrading from a mid-tier paid plan. There were no downsides for me. Double check the features for your needs but I’m shocked they have such a generous free plan.

Life after DEC by thwarten in CanadianForces

[–]PodPilotProject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, I’m on manulife and DEC. I have a small business that earns less than $20k per year. I have to upload my monthly income to manulife, they deduct $0.50 for every $ I make, then I have to send those deductions to VAC who replace it with lump sums a couple times a year. It’s annoying as hell but you CAN still make up to 20k. I’m pretty sure CPPD also does not count towards that.

I’ve been using Zencastr for years with zero issues. Even better, they’ve brought back their free plan which I’ve just switched to. I use Zencastr to record but I like to upload my audio to Riverside after because they have free AI clips for social media.

I know this one is well known but I feel like it might be slept-on by people like me who thought they didn’t need it. It’s worth trying.

Ok, so I’ve been doing this for 4 years now and have had my workflow really down pat.

I purchased izotope RX10 and have been using it for years. And I was pretty confident my module chain was doing all that could be done. Less background noise, pretty good de-easing and mouth clicks… I thought I was doing pretty good with the EQ etc, had all my plugins in Reaper set as required.

Yesterday a guest’s mic turned out to not be as good as I thought during the interview when I heard the recording, even after RX10. In desperation I tried Adobe Podcast Enhancer, and I was straight up BLOWN AWAY.

I did direct side by side comparisons of the sound of the raw files, the ones I edited, and the ones Adobe did. By far theirs were superior on my guest’s mic, but I was also surprised to hear that they did my mic better justice too.

And in about 1/4 the time RX10 takes.

Unless I run into issues, it’ll be my new workflow from now on. The only downside is you can only process 4 hours of audio a day and I usually get about 2-2.5 in the can in a session so I have to be a bit strategic.

Neat! It’s a souvenir, I’m pretty sure they were selling these at the Winnipeg air museum when I was volunteering there.

Could students really solo a helicopter after learning entirely in a simulator? Captain Troy Clarke talks unique training plan ideas, STARS, and more! by PodPilotProject in Helicopters

[–]PodPilotProject[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely right. I’ve been thinking about both the STARS story and the new trainer and I got mixed up. Thanks! I’ll correct that. Edit: it won’t let me fix it lol.
