Brad Hicks talked me through my first webcast today. I was able to record 20 minutes of audio using Skype and Nicecast archiving set-up. We used Sandbox A. I also experimented with hijacking iTunes. I was happy with the recording though I will need to be careful that my audio is not recording at a higher level than incoming audio in the Skype source.

I find that Audacity uses a lot of system resources so I was happy to be able to record/archive the audio within Nicecast. I used AIFF as a lossless recording but would like to test AAC and MP3 at another stage.

Thanks go out again for to Brad for giving up some of his Sunday afternoon to talk me through the use of Nicecast.

Hi all,

I don't have Xinha in my Camino browser. So here is an MP3 of my introduction (872kb, 1:51).

I'm very glad to be taking part in this webcast 1.2 internship and would like to thank Brad Hicks for recommending me the fantastic Webcast Academy.

I am the founder of Digital Chalkie and my goal is to help Brad with the production of webcasts for Digital Chalkie in the future. The purpose of Digital Chalkie is to provide a hub for Australian educators using ICT to engage and facilitate the best educational outcomes for their students. The domain name uses the word ‘chalkie’ as an affectionately defunct Australian term for teachers. The goal is to establish a hub/magazine/think-tank for teachers to support each other and to collaborate in the use of ICT.

I look forward to meeting up with you in the webcasts. Would it be possible for the webcasts to occur earlier for the weekend show? 12am GMT perhaps?

Paul Reid
