Thanks for the detailed explanation Andy, I know it probably means zilch to most listeners but I love this stuff. I often forget about platforms like Zencastr and how convenient they are for this kind of thing, I’m pretty old school and set in my ways when it comes to recording/mixing/mastering doing it all in a DAW. My informed/hack comments below: One thing you could do as a fail safe option for the phone to mixer interview is get a 3.5mm jack to XLR cable and plug into the mixer. You’d need to have a free XLR input on the mixer but it’s worked pretty well for me in interviews, if you have a phone with USB-C or thunderbolt you can get adapters pretty cheap. Impressed that the Rodecaster has Bluetooth capabilities though! Ah yes, Audacity and normalisation. I know that Spotify’s podcasting platform automatically normalises uploads to -16 LUFS so I’m guessing Zencastr must do something similar? I love Audacity as a free program but you literally have to do everything yourself and the Equaliser is so limited in that you can only make 1 change and hear the results of it at a time, forever going back and forth. I love to use ‘EQ sweeping’ techniques while hearing the audio so that’s always a pain when using Audacity for me. I hear you though, at 1:30am you do everything you can to get the ep out and be done with it! The car stereo test is usually the best measuring stick, sometimes you need a good test in an everyday environment. Recording over Skype or Zoom sounds garbage, would honestly rather record a phone call. When I did more interview recording I was so paranoid the computer would crash I would have a phone voice recording running as well. Never needed it but peace of mind is worth it sometimes. All in all it sounds like Zencastr has been an excellent investment and sounds like a very impressive platform for what it can do.

All just politics at the end of the day. Wording was probably carefully selected, that's the way of life. Still live in faint, stupid hope.

Agree, I can see it being a score from stoppage game and it should be an enjoyable midfield duel from a neutral standpoint Would dearly love to have had Clarry in this one but confident Jordon can do the biz. This is the game where I'd love to see Kozzie rotate through there, not an overly quick midfield and if gets a few breakaway possessions it could make a difference.

Yeah but we'll happily take both stories!

Yep, some with pleasure as well.

He's been the 'play starter' in their midfield this season. Reckon they get smoked even more without him.

An at least 90% fit Hibbo is a much needed asset going into finals.

They need a very good coach. This is last chance saloon.

It's something at least!

Not sure what DAW you're using but do you ever use a loudness meter on your tracks?

Giving platelets tonight so I'm hooked up to this machine with a needle for 90 mins. Give us something decent to read

Had a tough trot losing players over the journey but into year 6 and likely finals again is the bottom line. They've got a plan in place, no doubt.

It's a fair point, that ground shouldn't hold any fears for us. We got close and we can play a lot better than we did that night. Port won the battle that night but I can see us winning the war if healthy.

We need him.

Wheels in motion.

I think I heard that only the VFLW were using it last year for some games but that was just hearsay.

He might be hoping we finish 3rd BB.

His hairstyle and facial hair wouldn't be out of place on Brunswick St today.

Well said, he could simply be lacking confidence or going through a tough time mentally. Everyone gets it from time to time, personally I think I'm going through it right now. The mind is a strange thing sometimes, can be a situation where the harder you work or try the worse things get or the cruddier you feel. I have no idea what his state of mind is right now but it is possible. The only real thing you can do is work your way through it, might seem hopeless at times but moments like this can pass. I'm confident we'll see a big game from him shortly and he does usually perform against the Lions.

Very heartening, so glad the Dockers decided to drop anchor on their season.

I know it's not really a thing for footy clubs these days to use previous years for motivation but a quick play of this before to the boys couldn't hurt.

Serong but so wrong.

Big game this week. Win and we're in, lose and we're out. Basically another different way of saying what's been said here 100 times.

But they beat us in the greatest finals win of all time!

Linton St sucks.
