Here’s the BBC interview: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8037979.stm

*sob* Why no support for 4.5?

We don’t have *any* 4.6+ devices deployed at our office. In fact, our 8830s are considered the “new” Blackberrys.

your podcast feed in iTunes seems to have a problem as of 5/21 @ 11:36 EST. “There was a problem downloading “Evernote Blogcast”. An unknown error occurred (8004).

Guys. One word, VOLUME! Please turn it up. If you can’t then use Levelator to increase the loudness. http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/levelator. Its free.

I’m not an expert but I do have 50+ podcasts under my belt, so if you need a little tech advice, email me. Here is the reason for my request. Sure a lot of people use headphones to listen, or even listen at their PC (statistically 50% according to libsyn) and the volume is probably loud enough for such quiet environments, but if you listen while in the car, with road noise, with an FM modulator or plug in jack to your radio, then (for me) your volume is way too low.

Eat the mic, turn up the mixer gain until the little green lights blink, and adjust the main mix out so it doesn’t overdrive your recorder. Headsets are great. I use Sennheiser broadcast headsets. http://www.bswusa.com/proditem.asp?item=HMD280. Dont use the Beyer

I have some screenshots of some audio tests I ran on your show before and after Levelator, and compared to another show. Email me if you want them.

Best of luck & I hope you continue. I enjoy the show.

Same problem as Judy and Jon. Happened for #3 too.

Question: Still waiting for a native app for Ubuntu. I’m using it with WINE now, but the display isn’t as clear – text formatting is off, and several of the buttons are blurry black blobs. I use the web-based version from time to time, but a Ubuntu-friendly version would be nice. Any chance that this is on the horizon?

It is EXTREMELY difficult to listen to these podcasts do to volume issues. In the car or with earbuds on, we listeners are dealing with ambient noise. Because some of the dialogue on the podcasts drops to whisper-like levels, it is impossible to hear some of the most important points made.

Volume-leveling software might help, however the real problem comes from the guys themselves. Too many times you all are speaking in the bottom half of a breath. This may work for people sitting 3 feet apart in a quiet room, but the lack of projection makes these words impossible to hear from farther away.

To correct this, place a spare, dead mike (or even a cup) in the center of the room, and imagine that IT is your speaking target. Phil, especially, needs to imagine this (his youtube video is almost impossible, and very nerve wracking, to try to listen to).

Best of luck and thanks for all of your hard work!

You have just GOT to work on balancing your sound levels. Phil is still impossible to hear half the time. The podcast itself is fun and informative, but finding where to set my volume control is a constant battle.
