It wasn’t shown in the trailer but I’m assuming there’s a bookshelf full of books somewhere in that android’s dungeon!

The Audacity To Podcast: TAP065: Audacity Compressor Showdown
The Audacity To Podcast is a podcast about the freeware program Audacity. We use Audacity to edit The SFFaudio Podcast. It’s wonderful and it’s free. Back in January, in episode TAP065: Audacity Compressor Showdown the host, Daniel J. Lewis took several podcaster’s recordings and ran them through various compression software programs – it’s pretty technical – but the results seem to be pretty conclusive – if you’re not getting paid by the hour to edit audio and you want to make your podcast sound nice and loud Levelator is what you want to use. Here’s the conclusion Lewis makes:
Surprisingly, Levelator did a consistently fantastic job on the audio and handled background noise well. It gives no controls and may add an extra step if you don’t record into WAV or AIFF. But it’s easy (albeit slow) and very effective.
Here’s the |MP3|, and HERE‘s the informative post (with all the samples you can play with).

The effect of Levelator on a low volume podcast (SPOILER: it’s striking!)
Here’s a rather striking visualization of the difference the use of Levelator makes. The podcast name has been blurred so as to not prompt any more threats of physical violence (humorously intended or otherwise).
On the left we see an original podcast, with a volume so low that you can’t hear it wearing earbuds (in a noisy environment) on the right is the levelated file, showing the effect that Levelator has.
I’ve just made a donation to Levelator in the amount of $10.00.
Just think about that, if poor poverty stricken Jesse gave Levelator $10.00 from his coffee fund it must be absolutely wonderful!
It is. Get Levelator, it’s free and it makes quiet podcasts loud.
