This podcast is recorded on a Mac using Audio Hijack Pro. As for equipment, John is using a Behringer C-1 microphone going through a Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO mixer, monitored with Etymotic ER-6i Isolator earphones, then straight in to his Mac. On Dave's end, a Heil PR-40 microphone is used, and the whole show is mixed "live" through a Mackie Onyx 1220 FireWire-enabled mixer before being pumped back into the Mac (via FireWire, of course), and is monitored with Ultimate Ears UE-7 Ambient earphones. Each microphone is run through a channel on a Behringer Autocom Pro-XL MDX1600 compressor, a touch of reverb is added with an ART FX-1 processor, and the whole thing is then compressed in software on the Mac. The show is recorded to AIFF, and then converted and uploaded with an Automator script. Michael, aka Computernap, then goes through and enhances the show to provide you with the AAC version. You can hear more details of the setup and how it's mixed on Episode #32.
Theme Music: "The Answer", written by Jeff Steblea and Brian Ayles, as performed by Go Figure. "Made On A Mac" bumper by Mark Fleser

Observer Comments
I also bought a new 160 gb iPod. The 160 gb hard drive seems to slam on and off. It might be spinning at a higher rate which causes the owner to notice the higher torque. I don't know, but your not crazy.
I think the new eye-candy is ok at best. I use my iPod in my car. I want it to go on and off. When I park and place the iPod on paused, the new iPod goes out of play-song and returns to the front menu. I also suspect the new eye-candy slows the iPod down. The 6th gen is downright sluggish.
Have you noticed that the 6th gen takes forever to dismount and full disconnect from iTunes. After ejection, the iPod still tells you not to disconnect for a few minutes. What up?
