    I had a very nice convo with Mike Phillips a while ago and he said something that has stuck with me. It takes months to tweak your audio. you can improve it but not perfect it in one day.

    Wow, that's creepy seeing things I've said being repeated, considering some of the crap that comes out of my mouth. Seriously, the discussion is a long and involved one, but the fact of the matter is that human hearing takes a while to adjust to sounds. Look up ear fatigue. It's a tricky proposition.

    One of the biggest challenges I see with Internet audio is levels. The tools for monitoring levels (mixer, Wirecast, Vidblaster, and Mixlr level indicators, for example) are just not accurate. Some manufacturers don't understand audio, or they have strong opinions on how their users should use their equipment.

    Over time I hope to have somewhat of a calibrated receiver for determining appropriate levels on Internet broadcasts. It's not as easy as it looks. Standards are not uniform. It could take a while.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.
