Noise-reduction: There's audible hum and hiss throughout the entire podcast.

EQ: It sounds like Ben is always way too far away from his mic, because there's absolutely no bass in his voice at all. Same with this week's guest. An extra 10dB @ 100Hz would go a long way. Also, there's way too much sibilance (and Ben needs a pop filter).

Levels: Use some compression, please! Compared to many other podcasts, Engadget HD is very quiet. The overall level is far too low, and fairly inconsistent. Also, Ben is barely audible over the intro music.

I cleaned it up a bit. Here's a little sample of what it should sound like VS. what it does sound like: http://tinyurl.com/EngadgetHDFixSample
I isolated the 2nd minute from each. Hopefully that illustrates my point.

Shoot me an email if you need another producer. I'd love to help out.]]>Mar 10th 2009 11:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/Mar 11th 2009 7:19AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/ Onkyo 606 A/V receiver -> Monoprice 1x2 switch -> Samsung 1080 RP TV and Mits 1000u FP. Every time I cut everything off with my Harmony 890 remote and then switch things back on again I have to jumps through hoops for the PC to come back up. Can someone please offer some solutions?]]>Mar 17th 2009 2:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/10/engadget-hd-podcast-126-03-08-2009/Mar 18th 2009 12:58PM
