    It’s a mobile phone, too close to the mic.

    Fun yes.

    Is it possible to lift the volume of the voices? It’s rather quiet and to hear I have to turn up the volume so high that the ping of an incoming email caused me a mild concussion.

    Good stuff guys. Good stuff. Gotta work on the sound though. :)

    I would like to second the comment about the sound level. I literally have to have the volume on my notebook to the max, just so that I can barely hear you guys talk.

    Another great episode!

    Thanks for leveling out the sound, now the music is in relatively the same volume as the voices. Now just work on the overall level and it should be much easier to listen to at work. Thanks

    OK, on an iPod mini, in a driving car, the sound was so low I could not hear a thing. With headphones, in a quiet cube, I had to have the volume at full. Raise the voice volume, please! Oh, and whoever has that push-to-talk phone, turn it off during recording :-)

    Hmm. That sounded harsh! What I should have said first was: “Hey, thanks for putting up a great podcast!” We are critical because we love…

    @Kevan: we do listen to the sound levels before sending them out. The phone culprit was my Blackberry. We’ll keeping trying to get the sound quality better. And thanks for the love.

    You prob want to bring up the levels and take the gain down slightly. Try and avoid using “phantom power” and also to not to use too much “gain”. Using gain allows you to pick up more “noise” with the sound.

    I downloaded the MP3 and noticed it was quiet. So I opened it up in Fission and hit “normalize”, and all was well. I think Audacity has a normalizing function, too.

    So yeah, great stuff, guys. Just look into normalizing the track next time. :)

    I downloaded Audacity and it worked GREAT for fixing it, thanks other Tim.

    If someone has someplace to host it (Bingo?), I can upload the fixed version. David, would you like me to email you a copy of the file in a version people will actually be able to hear? :)

    Great episode! I’m loving learning about the inner workings of hosting companies. This is a great thing, keep it up!
