You should have heard the preshow and post show talk! ;)

I like how we got our iPad talk out of the way in the preshow. I think we've learned that you can't get us on Skype without inevitably talking about iPads. :)

Yeah, especially since most of us on the call actually own one now.

Feathers/Mike - just another note on the audio. It kind of is what it is. A Skype group audio call is a complicated thing (especially with seven of us). Add to that the episode audio and there will be places of overlap. The alternative is no episode audio and possibly fewer people in the call. But I was going for a more "party" atmosphere this time.

Perhaps compressing the final result to bring the volume levels closer together.

I think we need to do an all Ipad show on our Ipads.

Nope. That won't work for two reasons. Mainly all the audio is on the same feed/channel. The other reason is you really don't want the episode audio to match the Skype call audio. Again, as others who do things like Skype calls and podcasts can tell you, it's a tricky endeavor.

Well I totally enjoyed the show, I thought it was great and I'm amazed Skype held up.
Hopefully I can make the next one like Dan hopes too. But I'll have to pass on the iPad discussion as I don't have one.

I found it hard to tell the comments from the episode at times. But it was probably worsened by the road noise. ;)

What about not getting the episode audio at all and just leveling the skype call? And if you really want to add the episode audio, you can do that on a separate track at a lower volume.

billybob476 · August 30, 2011, 07:06:20 AM

That seems like a good idea too, I guess the point is for the audio to be loud enough so you can sync while you're watching, but not loud enough to overtake our wonderful voices.
