OMG! Thanks for the pick-up.

Lesson for the day - always check your hyperlinks after posting!! I've corrected the original link.

Russell I enjoy it very much.
I even have it playing in the background while I surf IIS.
The sound quality is much better in this episode (#1 episode) than from the original pre-view episode.

Well done.

Thanks for the feedback Rocket Boy. What exactly did you notice about the sound? I'm still not that happy with it, and while I did a few more tweaks than the first, I didn't think it'd be noticably different. Alice also said she thought there was a tinny sound, that wasn't in the preview.

So if you can help me identify specifics about what needs tweaking, that'd be a great help.

Russell, it sounds fine on my Sony desktops. Not too tinny at all...
Great idea.... interesting subjects....

In the pilot episode the sound would clip alot on my computer and it showed on the level meter in the red section.
This Episode (#1) the sound was- well perfect.

Once again I really enjoy listening, keep up the great work Russell.

Thanks - keep up the good work! Will be listening out.

Ahh right, yeah I did more work on the levels this time, and trying to equalise the sounds better. Still lots to learn though.

Time is getting away from me this weekend, so episode 2 will probably be a short one. I'm aiming for weekly, but RL commitments mean I'm still experimenting with trying to do regular quality shows, rather than throwing out junk just to fit a schedule.

I'm hoping to start some collaborative stuff soon with AstronomyAGoGo, to add variety as well.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
