I just wanted to say that I love BlogTalkRadio. Last weekend's show was really fun, and if it wasn't for some technical issues, the show probably would have been even better. When I say technical, I mean CRAZY shizz, flying around from everywhere.

Here's what happened:

We planned on setting up my studio to facilitate the podcast. I used to record music from home, so I have a pretty decent setup for something like this. I have a studio condensor mic that is phantom powered, a 2-channel compressor/limiter, and a nice little 8-channel mixer that powers the mic and has effects busses for the compressor. It's very basic, but very critical for a professional sounding podcast. 

Anyhoo, I lent the setup to one of my friends for their band to record their demo, and when I got it back, I was missing a bunch of stuff (this doesn't matter, the person I lent it to is very responsible, it was just at his house for about 8 months). I thought that the power adapter was with the board, but it wasn't, it was in my garage.

I wasn't able to use anything, so we decided to do the podcast from our cell phones, which was really fun, however, some of us sounded very quiet, and the rest of us sounded very loud. All-in-all, it was a great time.

I cannot wait for next weekend's show. Tune in!
