abRANDOM

I've decided to just leave abRANDOM where it is, and use Justin Allard dot com for all of my future posts. I will continue to upload the podcast to Gcast, and I will upload an enhanced AAC version at Justin Allard dot com slash blog for download that will feature pictures of whatever Bryan and I are talking about at the given time. So, for now on, I will be making all future posts Justin Allard dot com slash blog, but I will maintain the old podcast feed.

EDIT 11.27.08: Scratch the podcast. I haven't made an episode in over two years. Scratch the whole slash blog. It's just my blog now. Speaking of my blog go check it out over at Justin Allard dot com!

I was trying to upload a new template and basically blogger is giving me an error. So you may notices that my sidebar is messed up. I'll try to get it fixed as soon as I can.

Also, there will be no podcast this week. Hopefully I'll get one together next week!

Just put up our latest podcast episode that I recorded with Bryan earlier today. We talked about some tech stuff, but mostly just fun chatting. I also got a small 4 channel sound board to do the mic mixing with. It worked quite well, it was able to boost the mic enough to where we could comfortably sit back and use the same mic.

Well, I have a decision to make. Either I buy the Girffin iMic to make my .Audio 350 Plantronics headset work properly with my MacBook, or a buy the Blue Snowball. If I bought both the iMic and the .Audio 350 headset that would total of about $73. The Blue Snowball would be about a total of $107. So that would be a difference of about $34.

Also, I really want to record multiple people for a podcast, I may be able to use two mics with the Griffin iMic (one through the iMic, and another through the line in on my MacBook) but that is not guaranteed to work. With the Snowball recording multiple people would definitely work and it is supposed to have studio quality recording. So, what you you guys think?

As the title of this post states, there will be no podcast episode this week. Hopefully Bryan and I will be able to get together next weekend for another episode, but we may not be able to due to the fact that finals are in two weeks. So, sorry for not having an episode of abRANDOM for you guys this week, but hopefully we can get one up for next week. Take care everyone!
