The First Podcast
We finally got The Bob Narley Show Podcast finished and online, and the response has been fantastic!Already we have received several emails from all over the world complementing us on our first Podcast. It really felt great to hear that the material worked on a global scale. It's not hard to understand the real potential behind Podcasting.
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would have been, however we did hit some serious snags in the process. Good ol' webmaster Steve made the first minor error when he misspelled the location of our RSS feed on two web pages. That was nice. Luckily only about 40 people copied the wrong location to their IPODDER software.
FYI, The correct location to The Bob Narley Show Podcast is:

I must thank Bruce from Podcastbunker.com for pointing out the spelling error. Thanks Bruce.

The second snag was here in the studio.
We have been using a new soundcard, the Tascam FW1884 with Nuendo 2. The Tascam FW1884 is an awesome soundcard/mixer/midi interface that does everything I need in my digital production studio. The glitch was with my old PC, it seems the old PC just doesn't have enough power to run the rig. The result is that I'm getting drop outs and freezes when I try and record long audio, like 30 minutes or more of 5 tracks. I guess it's time to buy a new PC for the studio. Ca Ching!
The solution was simple. We just recorded a very short 11 minute show for our first Podcast. It didn't have near as many elements as I originally had put into the show, but it did allow for a polished showcase of the material for our new listeners.
Next time, a longer show.
