Some recent listener feedback
Shutters Inc
Firstly let me start with reference to something that Bruce had mentioned, I think in episode 137.
You were quite concerned with the audio quality that you were able to present to listeners from the portable recorder used at Echuca, the audio on that episode was fine.
I have recently dabbled with other podcasts, and have since canceled all of the downloads except Shutters Inc.
Bruce the quality of the audio delivered by you leaves all others far behind, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great pod casts not only in the information passed on but also the technical quality.

Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated.

Building the pod
I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence.
So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition.
Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range.
But I chose Audition for two clear reasons.
1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly.
2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language.
I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition.
It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces.
I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts.
Bye for now.

This week, an e-mail from Paul Fischer regarding recording audio to a laptop.
This time, regarding the amount of noise generated by the fans (the oscillating variety, not the ‘adoring’ type!).
But, there are a couple of ways to tackle that problem.
There was also an e-mail from Steve Mayfield who is eagerly awaiting the shoot out between whatever field recorders I manage to get my hands on.
There was also a couple of e-mails relating to various forum discussions on tracking levels in the digital domain, and how -18dBFS is not too low a target to shoot for.
Plus, after receiving an e-mail from a Shutters Inc listener, a quick discussion (or refresher, if you like) on how to access all the old episodes of Sine Language.

This week, Viva la revolution!
The listeners stick it to the man (that would be me!). 
Mer from BrainDouche and Phil Massyn both took me to task about recording audio to laptops.
Also, I’ve just bought a Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod speaker dock… very nice trade off between price, audio quality and size/portability.

This week, some e-mail to answer regarding what sampling frequency should we use as a default and why,
utilities to use for ripping and encoding your mp3′s,
how to mix podcasts that prevent your listeners from falling asleep (an area in which I apparently succeed!),
and recording audio on a laptop.
Also, Bruce’s recent home theatre trials and tribulations.
