I know, I'm just using the built in mic and Audacity to record. I need a better solution....

I vote for more audio submissions by Bryan too! But fix that hum issue on your Mac! It's giving you some kind of feedback or something in your audio.

It's not the Mac. It's the mic. Bryan check out this mic... works very well with my Apple and the recording quality is awesome for the price. It's a great product if you just want to plug it in and go: Samson C01U. I bought a popfilter and a floor stand as well.

Well actually,.... isn't Bryan using the built in Mac mic? I thought that's what he had.

I am, the point is that the mic that's built in is crappy. :)

Yeah get a cool mic man. You rock. I think it would be cool for you to do some podcasting on the run. Maybe an iTalk for your ipod.

That's what I was referring to. It's not designed for the type of recording he's doing. He's getting an echo in the background too. I heard it to in his RPG recordings. :)

Great job everyone who provided content to this one. Great show!!

Every time a Star Wars segment came to an end I found myself saying "Noooo!!!!" Really enjoyed them. Didn't like Han Solo's voice. The quality of Darth Vader's voice was too different for my taste, but the actor did a great job nevertheless. All the others were right on.

Gonna hafta borrow these from the local library. ;)

Yeah Vader's voice is hard at first, but then I found myself being ok with it. I am almost done with the first one.

Once you listen to enough of the Radio Drama's you find the voices really work well.

Yeah, Perry King auditioned for the roll of Han Solo and came in for multiple reading of Han's lines with different actors and actresses. There is a copy of ANH out on the internet which has all the audition scenes and you would be amazed at who was up for some of the parts! Valerie Bertinelli as Leia?! :blink

I always liked Perry King. He seemed to have a similar look and personality as Harrison's. Those old auditions are cool to watch!
