Background:-
Al Smart is both the webmaster and is responsible for the technical standards of the shows. Behringer seems to be the preferred choice when it comes to both mixers and microphones; the C1 phantom powered condenser giving a good sound quality. mAirlist is again the DJ player of choice, and with a reasonable sound card allows for 3 separate stereo outputs from a PC. For recording, one system uses Audacity and the other Cool Edit. The combination of the above products gives a good sound quality and a high signal to noise ratio. A number of the software packages are indeed free. There are links to the various manufacturers and software organizations (guess where?) on the links page. If you have any questions, please use the email link at the top of the page.
