Enhanced Version of the show has finished unless I get loads of requests
for it’s return - sorry folks but it helps speed up the process for me.

Hi All,

Hope to have a new podcast out soon. My laptop went away for repair but it’s back now so am all set to record number 24.

Check back soon - also please e-mail me if you use the enhanced version of the show and find it useful as I am thinking of dropping it to speed up production and just produce the .mp3 version. Email onairpodcast@gmail.com

Well Folks. It has been a while since I have done a podcast. There are a couple of reasons for this firstly I don’t have a mic processor at the moment after I gave back a spare one we had at HR Chelmsford so have to purchase one myself - any recommendations? I am currently looking at a DBX 286a.

Secondly… the company I use for Audio Hosting only gives me a 100mb limit a month and I used it up for the awards audio which has been downloaded 188 times as of today! I shall be releasing a podcast soon which will contain audio from the HBA Conference in Northampton. It will most probably be the recording of the OFCOM session.

anyway … in the meantime an application I have used has been made available for Windows as well as Mac which can be used for commercial and non commercial purposes. It is called The Levelator and it simply levels out any .wav or .aiff file. If you have perhaps recorded an interview with someone and the levels are a little poor. You simply open the application and drag the uncompressed file onto it and it will level it for you and stick it in the same directory the original file was in. It will not do anything to the original so if you don’t like it you still have your original file. Give it a go …. it’s free! You can find it at http://www.gigavox.com/levelator.
Let me know how you get on. Drop me an e-mail to onairpodcast@gmail.com

Call it a present to you whilst you wait for another podcast - Matt

Here is the .mp3 recording of the 2007 National Hospital Radio Awards from Northampton. It is nearly a 100mb file as it is encoded at 128kbps in case you wish to play it on your station.

I hope you enjoy it

Hi All,

Just saying sorry there hasn’t been a show for a while. I am extremely busy with both work and Hospital Radio Chelmsford move stuff.

We move hospitals and studios on the 29th March and most of my time outside of work has been taken up project managing this move in an attempt to mean the service will continue during the transition.

You can see some pictures of the area we are transforming in the OAP flickr feed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/23352803@N00/sets/72157594319733170/show/ they are after the couple of pictures of ‘wade’s wardrobe’ where I record the podcast when I have time.

There will be some recordings of the seminars done at the Conference plus hoping to record the awards ceremony again and put it out on the podcast.

take care - Matt - see you in Northampton once we have moved!!
