In episode 110, Tim Cumings is happy with his USB mic pre-amp from Centrance,
Geoff Hankerson was concerned about the proximity of the drinks fridge to my studio, as well as being slightly miffed about the dynamic range in DVD audio when watching movies,
Justin wrote to ask about the different types of reverb and how to find the right one (something which I need to speak further on, perhaps next week),

   Some recent listener feedbackShutters Inc Firstly let me start with reference to something that Bruce had mentioned, I think in episode 137. You were quite concerned with the audio quality that you were able to present to listeners from the portable recorder used at Echuca, the audio on that episode was fine. I have recently dabbled with other podcasts, and have since canceled all of the downloads except Shutters Inc. Bruce the quality of the audio delivered by you leaves all others far behind, keep up the good work. Thanks for the great pod casts not only in the information passed on but also the technical quality. Mark Chapman Sine Language Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated. J. R. Building the pod I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence. So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition. Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range. But I chose Audition for two clear reasons. 1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly. 2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language. I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition. It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces. I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts. Bye for now. Ross Huntley |

Hi Bruce,
With all of the in-depth discussion on reverb, I’m surprised you did not mention convolution reverb – especially since the writer was asking about achieving natural and real-world sounding reverbs. As I’m sure you know, convolution reverb recreates the reverb of real environments based on impulse responses that are created in those environments. I use Sonar for my music production DAW software and it includes the Perfect Space Convolution Reverb plug-in which is quite impressive. Here’s more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_reverb

I’m getting to it, don’t worry!
Cheers,
Bruce.
