Back to the Drawing Board...Sort Of

I received initial feedback from Tom, the guy/owner/creator/? at The Crossroads Radio Network that I'm coordinating with for the launch of our show. He was very encouraging.

You guys sound like you're new at this. But that's ok, because you are new at this.

I think that's encouraging.

We have work to do - mostly in the realm of editing our existing stuff and tweaking our settings for future recordings so that the sound is a little better. Recording in a different room might help that somewhat, as might some logistics with distance between our mouths and the mics. But I suspect that a lot of it will revolve around learning how to adjust the settings on the mixer board. It's not anything Bob or I have experience with, but I'm sure we'll figure it out in time.

More pressing is the need to create both an 'intro' and an 'outro' - a snippet of music, generally with a voiceover including the title of the show. Again - never done this before. Once we get the intro and outro created, we have to patch it on to the beginning and end of the show, make sure we're under 29 minutes for the total length, and then re-upload the finished MP3 files to Tom's server.

Piece of cake, right? At least, that's what I hope! Any advice/suggestions/resource references - send 'em this way pronto!
