Not quite sure what I did here, but I ended up with a double post. Could someone delete this?

listen to any APs on the ftp and post here if they are okay. I'll handle moving the files to the community directory myself since that requires full admin access to everything on slangdesign.com.

I'll probably upload it to the server as soon as I can convert it into an MP3 from whatever format Audacity uses.

Looks like you'll need to download Lame MP3 Encoder to do it. Here's the link on the Audacity page that explains why Lame is needed.

Thanks for the help, man. I'm kinda new to this audio encoding and exporting stuff. I still have to get the actual file of the recording from my girlfriend's laptop, but I'll be ready with both Audacity and Lame on my Mac when I do.

It's all good. I used to use Krystal to record with, but after glancing at Audacity, I may download it.

I use audacity on linux.  All I have done so far is use the compressor on the default setting and compress the mp3 down to 64kbps.  It seems powerful and runs fast on my machine.  I removed a couple of minutes of a recording and it was effortless.  But I have done nothing complicated.  I will advise to work on a copy of the file so you always have the original available in case of an accident.
And best of all it is free!

Realized that comments need to be approved.  Authors can approve comments on their own posts.  There were two comments from beowuuf and one from Cialis saying that the "Hello World!" was an "excellent article" and they will "take note" as well as offering "many thanks for the story."

I get a lot of comments from that Cialis fellow on my site too.  He is posting all the time and I don't know how he can keep it up.

I love the subtlety of this statement...

I posted the 2nd session of Storm of War - Sellswords of Punjar.  Actually, it is not session 2, but just session 2.5.  I did not properly turn on the recorder for the first part of the session.  I tried to provide a written recap of the events that are missing, but some funny stuff is lost forever.  We actually stayed on track for the whole session this time and got through a lot of encounters.  Hope you enjoy.
I am probably going to be able to post the conclusion of this adventure next week and hopefully a Dread session that I am running also.

Put another file up(RPPR-CP-Savage-Worlds-Slayers-Game1.mp3), but I do want other people to listen to this one because I'm not sure what people think.  For some reason the recorder was very sensitive and did whatchamacallit, where it gets kinda nasty with too loud noises (for some reason I can't remember the term right now).  Anyway, I don't know if it's something that should go on the AP site or not...

After much gnashing of teeth and swearing at my G5's stinking silicon guts, I have (finally!) uploaded an AP to the server!

It's called RPPR-CP-CoC-Ars_Serpentis_PT1.mp3.

In the first third of the recording, the audio will sometimes fuzz out for half a second every now and again, but other than that, it's pretty clean as far as I can tell.

Anyway, lemme know if it's up to standards, and, if not, what I can do to fix it next time.

If your levels are going over like that, you may want to set your recorder to a lower gain. You can always raise the levels if they're a little low, but if they go over, there's really not much that can be done. On the little meter thingy, you wanna shoot for -12 dB to -6 dB.

Listening to it now (distracted at work from finishing) and while the levels are a little high at times, nothing that makes me want to stop listening to it. I've certainly heard worse, and the golem madness more than makes up for it :)
