I wasn't 100% happy with episode 8 of TGP. This was down to technical issues, firstly my Tascam DR-07 decided not to give me any track information for the mp3s that I was trying to play into the show.
This meant I had to blindly skip tracks & hope the next track was the right one. To resolve this issue I had to remove the SD card from the Tascam & insert directly into the laptop. However this led to another issue.
I was using the laptop to talk with Adri during the Show on Skype, so this meant the mp3s on the SD card & Skype, were using the same channel on the mixer. Towards the end of the show, strange noises were coming through Skype (kind of like a tropical rain storm), which interfered with any items that I wanted to play into the show. I had to abandon a couple of items, as I thought the noise would have been too loud to understand what was being said.
However I have received some positive feedback about the episode, from Benjamin & Cariann Higginbotham of Spacevidcast, who said that for my first attempt at recording a Solely Space related episode, it was really good (actually Cariann also added that she liked our accents too).
These kind words made me feel whole lot better about the episode, but as I have said before, it's a big learning curve for us.
