    It really needs to improve audio quality recording. It’s terrible when listening on headphones

  • An Aussie take on audio.

    Informative, interesting and surprisingly witty, especially considering some of the intellectual horsepower that the designers and manufacturers interviewed bring to the fore, not withstanding Andrew and Brad’s own respective brands and efforts.

    I look forward to each episode.

  • Ever heard of a compressor plugin?

    Dynamic range is very important in music but in talk radio it is not good! I went from barely being able to hear you to my speakers rattling a whole bunch many many times. Just a heads up. I do like the content though hence the 4 stars :)
