How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as well-liked as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an problem which you know absolutely nothing about! I dont need to sound mean, here. But do you truly feel which you can get away with adding some fairly pictures and not actually say anything?

I’ve had an Alesis 3630 in my recording rig for years and it’s uses are many. It has a variable ratio from 1:1 to *:1 (limiting), making it useful in any situation.

It’d definately be worth seeking to understand the compressor’s role in shaping the sound, see if you can find an ex-audio school student to give you the lowdown.

The worst thing about the podosphere IMHO is the over/under-use of compression!!

You know I made the decision that if I win the lottery I’m totally going to start my own magazine and will hire every single one of you guys….completely serious. Now we just need to wait on that impossible thing, the lottery. Fingers crossed

I’m sure it’s already been mentioned or else you’re probably already on top of it, but how about some pop filters? That was the only real problem with the last show.

Good choice on the mics. I’m an audio engineer and MXR’s, for how cheap they are, produce an excellent sound. The compressor I’m not sure about, but anyone telling you it’s a crappy compressor might have been trying to “spit their mad rhymes” and really didn’t know what they were doing to begin with. You can make any compressor work. I have to say I’m excited. Cant’ wait for the next Rebel FM.

Take it easy with that compressor. In ep2, you guys were definitely leaning on it wayyyy too much. If your signal is peaking… turn down the preamps, and just set the compressor to only kick in if someone yells or something. That being said, glad you guys are making podcasts, and I can’t wait to hear more.

glad to see you picked up some new gear, i hope to see some reviews on it all after you’ve used it for a couple episodes so i can get a better idea of what i might want to migrate my setup to in the future.

rock on. \m/

Make sure you take pictures of the final setup! Can’t wait to see it all.

I’m still wondering if someone donated a large amount of money, because I only donated 20.

The equipment looks great guys, minus thhe mac(im a hater I know, but I hope the software is worth the tremendous bump in price). It great to see that you guys are doing right by our donations and doing every thing you can to keep the show going. Thanks alot for all of your work.

At first I was shocked at the price. Then I saw the Mac Book and was like, “well there goes like $1500 right there”

If you guys were looking for ultimate portability, I would have dropped the mixer and gone for a nice firewire audio interface. You could have gotten one with like 8 mix inputs and preamps for about the same price as the mixer + firebox. Plus you could record each input into a separate audio track. Some of them even have built in effects that you can put on the tracks like compressors and noise gates.

Outside of the mac (i’m a PC fan) Nice pickups!
