I admit it I love Zombie stuff. From video games to movies to books/audio books. Right now I am enjoying a couple of Zombie related podcast novels. And of course we can't forget the awesome Zombie song by Jonathan Coulton: "re: Your Brains" http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Re%20Your%20Brains

I demonstrate one way I have used to reduce my work load. I use an Automator to set all the show tags, convert to MP3 then I just have to manually add the album art in iTunes. From there you can copy the file and upload it for your podcast distribution using your normal process.

I demonstrate one way I can emulate a mix minus setup when recording a podcast double ender. This lets the cohost on the other end of skype hear the host and sound fx he plays.

I have an issue with iChat on the Mac. When I select my audio interface where my mic plugs in I get all audio going through that interface in both directions. Meaning if I play any sounds iChat hears them all. This is partly a side effect of my having a mix minus setup going to an external mixing board. What I need is an interface that ONLY lets iChat hear my microphone and any other applications I specifically select.
I found that if I use my Wiretap Anywhere (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wta/) and setup an input with the interface my mic goes into plus say my Soundboard (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/soundboard/) program and select that as the input in iChat then it works perfectly. Now only my mic and selected audio is heard by iChat. I suspect that using WTA ensures that only the input side of my Griffin iMic (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic) is being sent through the virtual audio interface to iChat. I use the outbound side to send system audio out to my mixing board. That is likely why iChat hears everything. It's grabbing both in and out of the selected interface. Using WTA seems to clip that. Regardless if I am right it sure solves my problem.Comments [0]
I did a quick comparison shot between what is supposed to be a 5MP still shot ability of the Kodak Zi8 HD video camera and my old Canon S2 IS. The Canon is a 3MP camera. But it shows you how soft the Kodak makes still shots. It makes great HD footage when well lit. But there is no substitute for the right tool for the job. My old still camera with optical zoom is still a way better still shot camera.
