I Know It’s Been Quiet, But We’re Still Here
I know things have been quiet here at Radio DTB, but I wanted to let you know that I’m still here and working on a new podcast. I really was hoping to have it up by now — I’ve just been having a hard time getting it together this week. I’ll give you the excuses: 1) I was out of town at a family reunion this weekend, 2) work has been busier than normal, and 3) I got some new recording equipment this weekend and I’m still trying to make it sound good when I record.
I’ve picked out the songs for the next podcast and even have the script already written, but I’m really having a difficult time getting my new microphone and mixer to get a decent recording — the mic is so sensitive that it’s picking up too much background noise on just about every setting I’ve tried, and if I try to do a “noise removal” filter in audacity, it makes my voice sound like a robot. I’ve spent the past 2 hours trying to get a decent voice recording and have come up with about 5 seconds of usable material.
I’m going to try again tomorrow. If I still can’t get it to work, I’ll have to either resort to my cheap lapel mic or skip this week’s podcast while I work out the kinks.
I’ve also got a handful of DTB-related news items to post, but I just haven’t had the time to put them out yet.
Sorry for the delays!
