Loud



I didn't realise just how LOUD I speak until I listened back to Saturday's show. I only wish I'd recorded one sooner. I did attempt to actually, the week before, but as I tried to listen to it the computer crashed and the recording was lost. So this time around I recorded the show the old fashioned way on to compact cassette and transferred that to the computer.

It was during the transfer that I heard just how loud my voice is compared to the music I'm playing. I only hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the music too much. At least I know now and have already turned down the gain on the mic pre, so hopefully next week's show will sound a bit better.

Anyway, the reason that I recorded the show in the first place was so that I could upload it here as a podcast for those of you who might have missed it or want to listen to it again. Unfortunately, because of the old school recording method, there are a few gaps here and there; i.e. when the tape flipped to the other side and when I forgot to take it off pause after the ad break, but I'm sure you'll get the gist of it.

Next week I'll try recording the show direct to the computer again but this time I'll record to tape too as a back up. Hopefully, the computer won't crash this time and I can present the pod casts without the flaky edits to cover (erase) the gaps caused by the tape leader, we shall see.
For convenience sake, I've split the file into three; 1st hour - Soul, 2nd hour - Reggae and 3rd hour - Hip Hop. So please have a listen and, if you enjoy them, feel free to spread the word.
