While appreciative of your effort to record sessionsat Podcamp, I was disappointed with the quality of the podcasts. Penny’s on ’search’ was quite well done…but the rest sounded like they were recorded at a very low bit rate. You are wanting to promote the genre of podcasting…so, it would make sense to have better quality. It was awful.
Respectfully…
Well, sorry Bill, but again, it’s everyone’s responsibility to get what they want from PodCamp. You should’ve recorded it yourself if you had any doubts. Anyway, you’re the first person to complain about the sound, so I don’t know what to tell you. The recordings from the other PodCamps sound about the same or even lower quality, so there’s that, too.
Also as I said on the google group, these files haven’t been edited. I did that on purpose so people could have files to practice what they learned regarding editing.
Well, Bill … I can only speak to the quality of our NFDC podcast on Sunday morning. We’ve a limited budget, as we’re a non-profit theatre company. If we have extra cash, it’s going into the production of our next show, not the latest in field recording equipment. As such, we captured the session using my old 3G iPod and a Griffin iTalk. To be honest, the reception was far better than I expected. I like to think that I’ve a decent ear, and I was pleased with the lack of too much ambient fuzz coupled with the relative clarity of the voices. After putting the raw file through Adobe Audition, then the Levelator, what we’ve posted is a reasonable facsimile of the conversation we all shared on Sunday morning. That was our goal, after all.
Well, I have to say Bill has a point. I wasn’t conducting rigorous inspections of people’s recording equipment at each session, so if someone had already signed up as “Pocasting this session” on the wiki or if I saw something shiny already set up on the table with a mic sticking out of it, I wouldn’t have busted out too much redundant equipment. Thomas, your NFDC show sounds fine, in fact I’m impressed you got that much out of an iTalk and a 3G! Your filtering kung fu is strong. But a few of the sessions are almost unintelligible in many places, a few of them ironically so given the topic. Ah well, I really don’t want to sound like Mr. Mean Crankypants, it’s just another good lesson learned for next year. If the first device offered up in a room is a pen-like “memo recorder” from Office Depot, it should probably come with the caveat of “Does anyone here have anything beefier in the bitrate department, before we begin?” Again, not trying to be a jerk, just a lesson from the first ever but nonetheless most excellent PodCamp Atlanta.
I will reiterate: some of the posted recordings are unedited. They haven’t been through the Levelator or anything else. Also, I’d like to reiterate what Thomas said… people are doing this for love, not to try to get studio-quality sound (which would be stupid to attempt anyway). We had a place on the wiki for people to sign up to do recordings if they wanted to do something more elaborate than a hand-held recorder, and hardly any people did. Which is fine.
To expect all the recordings to be top-notch is missing the point of PodCamp. We didn’t even have to do recordings in the first place. And the idea behind an unconference is basically, no whining. It’s everyone’s responsibility to make it what they want it to be.
