AwareTek Mash-Up

New Directions

I have upgraded my audio equipment. A few people have commented on the inconsistent and sometimes poor sound quality on the Python411 podcast series, that I have been producing the least expensive microphone available and no mixer or pre-amp and the Apple software that came with my Mac.

So, I have finally bought a decent condenser microphone and a simple pre-amp and mixer allowing two different inputs. My fist rreaction is I like it because I don't need to crank every single setting in my software to max volume in order to get enough sound level to produce a podcast. I am also learning a couple of additional software tools to do post production editing on my podcasts.

Meanwhile, I am experimenting with producing some videocasts. I expect to produce short, 3 minute long type video and audio essays. I have already made 4 experimental ones but am not yet ready for prime time.
