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

Anyone have an issue with this podcast? My podcast goes quiet around 30 minutes and then my iPhone stops playing the podcast. Also if I pass the 30 minute mark, parts of the podcast replay itself. I'll re-download in iTunes to see if it fixes it.

Okay so after deleting the podcast and going into the Music Store and re-downloading it, it works now.

Subject: John - I had same Leopard "Setup Registration Bug"

John,

I spent two hrs with Apple on tech support on Saturday (Case # 8922-1418) as I also after UPDATING had a "SETUP REGISTRATION BUG":

1. Screen freezes on the background image
2. Waited for a number of minutes and held start button to force a restart
3. When the computer restarted I ended up with a endless loop of "SETUP REGISTRATION" being required.
4. Even if I entered all the 'REGISTRATION" user info, the setup registration just looped back to the main account user log in page with the Leopard Space screen in background.

I had to do a complete ARCHIVE AND INSTALL and save my preferences and was back to gold.

I also should note that I was just RESTARTING after doing the QUICK 7.3.1 update when this happened...so this is a serious BUG.

Regards

I had the same thing happen after the keyboard update for MBP. Went to the setup assistant. A second restart got everything working just fine without having to do any reinstall.

I think some people jump to the worst case scenario (reinstalling) before trying something like a reboot.
