This podcast is recorded on an iMac (Core 2 Duo Mid 2007) using Audio Hijack Pro and routing courtesy of WireTap Anywhere.  As for equipment, John is using a Heil PR-40 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 also 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 Westone ES2 custom-fit earphones.  When PilotPete is in the house, he’s usually talking through a Heil PR-30.  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 Johnston from iPhone Alley 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
