Hey friends I have posted a bunch of new sermons on the First A/G site. Check it out. The first three of the Back to School series have just been posted.
If you know anything about audio files and editing them let me know. We want to improve this part of our web site. It needs some very special attention.

Let me know what you need in terms of editing audio files. I have access to someone who can coach/help.

Leo,
We are using Audacity to record the sermons. (I do have the capability to edit them with Audacity, but seldom have the time.) Then we export them into Windows Media Player or Music Match. Then I can upload the file to our web site that provides a audio player.
The problem is that we can not seem to record the audio at a the proper settings that will allow the audio player to play the file properly. When the audio player plays the file properly, then it can not be downloaded. It is more important to me to have downlodable sermons for MP3 players. If you download the file from the player it sounds fine. Check out our website and you'll see what I mean.
K - answers & suggestions:
Two issues at hand:
Issue one - audio is initially recorded at a fairly low level input, w/ noise and feedback in the signal. The subtleties are lost as the fuzz drowns out the quiet details. Turn it up, the buzzing gets worse.
Suggestion: run a clean, high-quality level 1/4-1/8" input output to a good quality, stereo digital recorder. You need to get it directly from the sound board.
My suggestion - what I'm doing for my church right now - run a digital signal directly into an iPod Nano (clearance price $99) via cord and Griffin's iTalk Pro recorder (allows for direct, push button recording in stereo.)

Doing so will automatically create iPod-quality audio files that you can download into iTunes onto your computer or onto your server.
Issue two - Online player doesn't readily accept the files you are trying to use.
Suggestion: change your strategy. Load up your rss/podcast feed into iTunes and get your message out to the world.
These things can all be done on both the Mac & PC side of things. But remember: Jesus loved Macs most.
Oh, and Leo says, "Hello."
