Four 2TB drives going into the new Drobo Pro for storage of our audio and video.
We save everything we record, and we often create several gigabytes of data every day.
The Mixdown

Hello 5by5 community,
I’m Anthony Stauffer, the co-host of a new 5by5 show that’s launching today. At 2:00pm EST, Dan Benjamin and I will broadcast live the first episode of “The Mixdown.” It’s a talk show about audio/video recording and broadcasting.
It’s not a show for professionals. We’re not recording albums, or shooting films. So we won’t be discussing $4k mic preamps, or 4k camera systems.
Our studios are home studios, our destination is the web. I plan, record, and edit blues guitar lessons at StevieSnacks.com. Dan plans, records, and edits the 5by5 podcasts. Both of us have to navigate a confusing array of online services to distribute our content.
So we’ll talk about our respective setups, discuss and explain the gear we choose. We hope you’ll ask lots of questions too. Because in the end, this show is about what you want to do, and the things you want to learn.
Tune in today (Friday, July 16th) at 2:00pm. We’ll be pulling back the curtain on Dan’s deceivingly simple studio setup that allows him to make these awesome podcasts.
We hope to see you then :-)

We’re really excited to announce that the 5by5 Membership Site has launched. If you enjoy the podcasts we produce, now there’s a way for you to say thanks, get a cool T-shirt, and help us pay bills at the same time.
Your membership will make it possible for us to hire some part-time help, upgrade our equipment, and put more great shows on the air, while preserving our high production value, personal feel, and non-intrusive advertising.
All of the broadcasts we make at 5by5 will remain completely free, and that’s why memberships really make a difference.
Thanks for listening.
