Join us for an exclusive interview with Sgt. Charles Dyer, aka July4patriot as he speaks out for the first time about the events leading up to his arrest, how he was treated while in custody, the violations of his constitutional rights and how the state is attempting to prosecute him for a crime which he was found “not-guilty” by a jury of his peers in federal court.

Sgt. Charles Dyer aka July4Patriot, former USMC, is a vocal and outspoken advocate of Oathkeepers, the US Constitution and the militia movement. In December of 2009, he was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen and illegal weapon when police raided his home on a CPS warrant. The events leading up to the warrant were shady at best and included his ex wife reporting the so-called “molestation” to several local authorities, including the internal affairs division of the USMC. After investigations concluded zero evidence, his former wife drove 90 miles to file the report with the Sheriff’s Department where what is assumed to be a “zero tolerance” policy prompted the arrest of Charles Dyer.

In April of 2010, Charles Dyer was found not guilty of the weapons charges in federal court. Because he refuses to admit guilt for the child molestation charges, the state is attempting to prosecute him under state law for the crime he was acquitted of in federal court.

For the first time since the incident, Charles Dyer is going to bring you his story first hand and expose the corruption of every law enforcement agency involved in this matter.

How  To Start Your Own Radio Show

by Chris Geo

www.truthfrequencyradio.com

NOTE: Please do not re-post this article. Instead, link to this article to help us generate new traffic to our website. A reasonable request in my humble opinion considering the time I spent on this and the hours and hours of painful trial and error I am about to save you!!

It seems as though we are asked daily for two things: a list of songs we play on our show and the question of “How does one start his/her own radio show?”. I will post another article about the first, but right now I’d like to talk about the second. I’m going to begin from the simplest and cheapest way to get online and broadcasting, to more elaborate set-ups.

BROADCAST RIGHT NOW

The quickest and simplest way to begin broadcasting is Blogtalk Radio or Talkshoe. These are both very good networks that allow you to play music, take callers, bring on guests, have a built in chat room and automatically record your shows.

Personal note: Big shout to Ghosts Of The Republic – the first show to ever interview me and show me how easy it is to begin broadcasting.

With Talkshoe and Blogtalk, you can use something as simple as a telephone and begin broadcasting TONIGHT! However you will be faced with the problem of the host sounding like he’s on a telephone, same as the guest. If your content is good enough, people will listen! But if you want a more professional sound, the host should always sound full.

USING SKYPE

To accomplish this, the cheapest option is to use Skype. Skype to Skype calls are free and you can get a national calling package that allows you to call within the US and Canada for $2.95 per month. The world calling plan is $14.95 per month which allows you to call internationally. So it is fairly affordable.

The cheapest way to use Skype is to use an analog or USB headset. You can find a good analog headset on Ebay for roughly $6-$10. We sent a $6 analog headset over to a guest and he sounded GREAT!! That is another key, if you can get the guest and host on Skype with good microphones or headsets, it will sound like they are live in the studio. For reference, see our David Icke interview at http://truthfrequencyradio.com. David was on Skype and sounded absolutely FANTASTIC!

Be careful with Skype headsets though, more expensive isn’t necessarily better. Some sound very thin, some sound very FULL. I don’t remember which headset I sent over to that particular guest but it was a $6.00 analog headset from Ebay (shipping included). Sheree bought a $40 headset from Best Buy for doing the show remotely and we wound up returning it.

It is important to tweak Skype for broadcasting, especially if you are using a router. A rule of thumb is to never use a wireless connection, not even in home wireless connections. A good video for tweaking Skype can be found here.

Analog Dynamic Microphones

The next level would be to go full analog with a mixer. The cheapest microphone I would recommend is the Shure SM58. It is important to learn the difference between a dynamic and condenser microphone. The SM58 is a dynamic mic. However, for $20 more, the Shure Beta SM58 sounds much better.

If you will notice our first broadcasts, we were both using the Beta dynamic microphones. For my taste, female voices sound GREAT on these mics but male voices, myself to be exact, sounded TERRIBLE and nasally. I’ve been told I’m over critical of myself, but when I got the bright idea (thank you James Corbett) to pull my condenser mic out of my vocal booth and into the broadcasting studio, my voice sounded FULL again.

Another good dynamic microphone is the Shure SM7B. Michael Jackson used this mic to record his Thriller album (even though recording standards are to use a condenser microphone).

NOTE: One of the biggest differences between Dynamic and Condenser/Ribbon mics is “proximity effect”. This is how the microphone reacts to the distance away from your mouth. Dynamic mics are meant to be used an inch or two away from your mouth and exaggerate the bass, the closer you get to the mic. Condenser mics are meant to be used 6-12 inches away from your mouth (or more). That’s why you see Alex Jones, or Glen Beck, or David Letterman etc. with their mic right on the table instead of in front of their mouths. Google – “proximity effects in microphones” for more info.

Analog Condenser and Ribbon Microphones

I don’t have too much experience with ribbon mics, so I can’t speak too much about those. But I can tell you, what Condensers and Ribbon Mics both have in common is they require PHANTOM POWER. Phantom power is external power to boost the level of the microphone. Dynamic microphones do NOT use phantom power and can be plugged directly into any sound card. Condenser and ribbon mics will require either a preamp or a mixer with phantom power.

Alex Jones, Glenn Beck and James Corbett (and myself) use condenser microphones. Glenn Beck uses one by a company called BLUE. Alex Jones uses a Nueman which is also another high end brand of microphones in the same price range (approx $1000-$10,000, depending on the model). James Corbett uses an Audiotechnica AT2020 which is a condenser mic that sounds really good, especially for it’s $100 price tag.

PREAMP

A condenser mic is only as good as it’s preamp. Higher end pre-amps will have a compressor, which is a unit that will compress the signal, making the voice sound even in dynamic range. A noise gate is also VERY helpful as condenser and ribbon mics will pick up typing from keyboards and even keys jingling in your pocket.

The Aphex 230 Voice Master has it ALL and is the standard for voice-overs and broadcasting. It has a noise gate, a compressor, a de-esser and, my favorite, the big bottom and aural exciter.

Here is a breakdown of the elements in this particular preamp. These elements can be in “all in one units” or purchased as individual pieces, but they are all used to make the condenser mic sound as great as possible.

Tube preamp – if you are going to use a high end mic, you need a high end TUBE preamp. No digital preamps.

Compressor – Because of the sensitivity of the microphone, a compressor is needed to squash sounds that are too loud and raise sounds that are too low.

Noise Gate – Again, condenser microphones are VERY sensitive and can pick up keys jingling in your pockets, typing on keyboards, creaking in chairs and even the slightest noise. The noise gate acts like a “gate” and only allows sound to pass through at a certain level.

De-esser.- When you add a compressor to a condenser microphone, it will naturally compress the sssss and eeessss in your voice. This is called sibilance and is an annoyance in both recording and broadcasting. A De-esser will lower only the frequencies in the sibilance.

Big Bottom – Not a requirement, but a nice addition. This is how George Noory and other great radio hosts get that really full voice, especially in the lower range.

Parametric EQ- Equalizer, just like in your car with a slightly difference response. The EQ in your car is called a graphic EQ. But it takes out or adds certain frequencies to your voice to make it more pleasant.

Aural Exciter – Not a requirement, but it gives your voice a more crisp sound.

A low cost tube preamp would be the Presonus Tubepre for about $100. It does not come with a compressor or noise gate but it’s still a nice tube pre on a budget.

USING A MIXER

Using a mixer will allow you to do many things including controlling levels, connecting computers, mp3 players or any other sound source along with your microphones. Some mixers will have built in microphone preamps and some will even have phantom power. While these will never sound as good as separate unit preamps, some sound VERY good. There are two mixers I would recommend.

For about $125 you can get a Behringer 1204USB. Behringer is the lower end brand of studio equipment but they do a good job for the money. This mixer tries to emulate the Mackie ProFX 12. Mackie is the industry standard but I’ve seen Alex Jones using a Behringer in the background, if that tells you anything. I use the Mackie ProFX and plug Sheree’s Shure Beta directly into the preamp and it sounds WARM and FULL for females. While I would NEVER record vocals with this microphone/preamp combination, for broadcasting it sounds GREAT (for her). Much fuller than the Behringer mixer, which is at the moment, collecting dust.

The Mackie ProFX is a bit more expensive but for an audiophile like myself, it sounds FANTASTIC! Either way, it plugs directly into the computer through USB ; So, you can set your computer sound to your on-board sound card, run that into one of your mixer channels, and use the USB to broadcast out with. Boom, you now have control over any sound coming out of your computer, going into your mixer and being broadcasted out of the USB.

CABLES

The saying, “you are only as strong as your weakest link” is so true in any type of audio or video application. The most overlooked part of any studio is the cables. Make sure you buy new cables for your mixer and microphones. Don’t try to splice cables and try to stay away from adapters if possible. A bad cable can cause hums, static and other noise and you’ll go crazy trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

There are two types of cables I would recommend. The most affordable cables are made by a company called Hosa and range about $5-$10 per cable. But if you really want to go professional, then go with cables by a company called Mogami which are gold tipped and MUCH higher quality. The noise floor is not detectable to the human ear with these cables. But they come at a huge cost – about $50 per cable, even for a 3 ft. quarter inch to quarter inch. Oddly enough, a 50ft. xlr microphone cable by the same company costs about the same too. Hmmm…..

Note: Another thing to mention is a phenomenon called a “ground loop”. This is where the ground of one device creates noise in your system due to your mixer/computer/etc. being plugged into the same circuit. A quick fix for this is to either use adapters that remove the ground pin on the ac plug (but you’ll raise your chance of getting electric shocks) or use something like the GemSound Sp-8500 for about $20. There are more expensive power conditioners but luckily, I don’t have any problems with ground loops.

HEADPHONES

It is important to note you NEVER want to use speakers when broadcasting (or recording). Your mics will pick up whatever you are playing and cause either phasing or feedback. A good pair of headphones for a moderate price would be the Sony MDR-7506′s. They run about $100 and they are the industry standard. Alex Jones uses them, mobile camera crews use them and you can see them in any shot in a documentary or film where the microphone guy is visible. They are crisp, clear and most importantly RUGGED!!!

If you want to use multiple headphones for several different people then I would recommend the Presonus HP4. It’s about $100 and will turn the headphone jack on your mixer into 4 different jacks with individual volume controls. I like mine LOUD! Sheree likes hers soft. So it works out great.

COUGH SWITCH

A cough switch is a button that you can press to temporarily mute the microphone in case you have to cough or make a noise. It’s not really needed if you are running the board yourself. A noise gate really isn’t needed either because you can just mute and unmute yourself on the mixer channel. It does the same thing really. Sheree does not run the board so she uses a Cough Drop. But because Sheree doesn’t have a noise gate, I modified the cough drop to work the opposite of what it is supposed to. Instead of temporarily muting the mic, I replaced the switch with an ON/OFF switch so she can mute and unmute herself when she wants to talk. This does two things. #1, keeps her mic muted when I’m talking so both mics are not picking up my voice. And #2, lets her type and do other things without the mic picking it up on air. Like I said before, my microphone has a noise gate, so things that are not intended to come through the mic (usually) don’t.

BROADCASTING OUT

We use WINAMP and the shoutcast DSP to broadcast out to our shoutcast server. In theory, we could run the show 100% from our end into our shoutcast server and have our own stream. Technically we do have our own stream but p American Freedom Radio and Polygraph radio are the only listeners. They distribute the stream through their shoutcast servers out to the listeners. The point is no matter how you stream out, you want your USB Mixer (which is a soundcard in itself) to broadcast everything coming out of the USB main out.

Connecting to a Network

Most networks today will allow you to connect either via Skype or via ISDN and they will have a board operator who will do all of the work for you, have all of the equipment, get your guests on the phone and even have a caller room. So in theory, if you have a good blogtalk or talkshoe show, you know the right people to get on a network, you sound GOOD with a good skype headset or analog mic/mixer set up, you can get on a network!!! !

Connecting to your guests and taking calls

This one troubled me for MONTHS! I bought a telephone hybrid for $500 that connects your telephone to the mixer but I wound up taking it back. It’s really old school technology. I find it MUCH easier to use Skype! I like to have control of everything so I use separate computers for the caller line and for the guest line. The Skype guest line is set to the USB MIXER sound card and has a separate volume control on the mixer (USB IN SWITCH).

The caller line also runs on Skype, connecting to a call room that gives us on screen caller info and a mute/unmute button, similar to blogtalk or talkshoes phone system. This is ran on a separate computer also HARD INTERNET WIRED (no wireless, remember!).

Computer limitations

Because you are pushing your CPU resources to the max, it’s VERY important to have a GOOD QUAD CORE CPU with at least 4 GIGS of RAM. Infact, Skype suggests you run nothing but skype, and if you can have your guest on a separate computer, your stream on a separate computer and your caller lines on a separate computer, that would be IDEAL. But I am able to do everything, monitor the chatroom, surf the internet, run youtube clips, run mp3′s use skype for the guests, run Winamp AND run Cubase on one computer. And the other computer is for the caller line.

Recording your shows

There are a few different ways to record your shows. I use Cubase and record before everything is sent out. You can use Audacity (free program) or similar but I find Audacity quite buggy. You can use an external MP3 recorder (preferred) like the 9900-52278-00 M-Audio MicroTrack II connected to your mixer. There is a separate place to hook this up on your mixer so you don’t have to use your outputs. The simplest way is to have a friend (or two or three) record your show using a Winamp or Windows Media stream recorder (FREE). They would basically act like a listener on Winamp or Windows Media Player and just record whatever is broadcasting out to the world on their end. The reason I say two or three friends is because you always want to have a backup.

For recording Skype calls for podcasts that don’t air live, FREE MP3 RECORDER is a GREAT software that will record your voice on one speaker, the other end on the other speaker then you can break it down in something like Cubase (or a free sequencer) and have volume control over the both ends of the conversation. Don’t forget to bounce the tracks to mono so you don’t have one end coming out of the left speaker and right speaker.

WATCH YOUR LEVELS!!!

A lot of audio novices don’t understand the term “headroom”. Imagine a cup of water, headroom is the cup, the water is the audio. If you over flow the cup, you’re going to get a terrible distortion. If you underfill the cup, you are going to be thirsty!! So make sure you watch your levels on your mixing applications.

Sometimes you might hear our broadcasts coming out a little softer than normal and you might have to turn up your headphones or speakers. This is because we are recording at a lower level so get a nice clean recording. After the recoding, you can use software compressors and limiters to raise the volume of the final archive. You can always fix levels that are too low. You CANNOT fix levels that are “clipped” or “overflowing”. Before every broadcast I set my mic level on top of the music level and make sure it’s still well within the headroom. When I subtract the music, the mic doesn’t sound as high. I’m constantly adjusting levels during the broadcasts, especially when the guest has bad mic technique or keeps moving the phone around.

MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR RADIO SHOW/ PODCAST!!

If anyone has figured this one out, please let us know!!! We don’t get paid a dime. In fact, we pay for everything ourselves!! In the meantime, you should not do this to make money. You should do it for FUN, for INFORMATION and for SPRITIUAL GROWTH and ENLIGHTENMENT. It’s a long and hard road, but all of our great listeners make it worth it!!

I hope we’ve been able to enlighten and empower anyone interested in starting a radio show to go out and do it!! Remember, you have to just DO IT! You’re not going to “hit it big” on your first broadcast and your first broadcast is probably going to sound TERRIBLE. So just DO IT and get it over with. Your format will begin to take form after the first few shows and new ideas will come to mind. We started on Blogtalk, on a telephone, moved to Polygraph Radio then moved to American Freedom Radio. So JUST DO IT!!!
