"Keep talking..." Foodbridges 2 The technical side
I'll find out if there is a special place to put links, but here is where the Audacity recording of last night's Foodbridges 2 webcast is:

The recording is OK, but the voices have an echo quality as if we were all sitting in caves. What could that be? What settings should be checked?
Week 2 and frustration sets in...

The Newson Method (Jeff's joke)
It may not be immediately obvious that you have to click on Audacity setting and Volume setting to see the screenshots.
Audacity settings - stereo mix, note volume of micro
Volume settings - micro as high as possible (Too high?)

(Assignment 2, continued)
I'm not yet prepared to record
a two-way phone conversation,
but a call is in being set up for
this afternoon, so I've got
to review settings more
thoroughly this morning—and
get ready to participate in the "FoodBridges" show in less than 5.5 hours. This
show involves Carla Arena, Illya Arnet-Clark, Cristina Costa, Erika Cruvinel,
Dennis Newson, and me. In it, I talk, but I don't yet record or try to "kick the
stream"; I'll be doing that eventually, though.
This afternoon, I'm taking the easier (for me) option: using Nicecast on my Mac,
not Virtual Audio Cable (the mysteries for which are still a kind of Gordian Knot
from my point of view.
Once I make it through the "FoodBridges" show and the phone recording, I'll start trying to untangle VAC in earnest—and to remedy problems I'll likely encounter
using Nicecast.

The Newson method How to record both ends of a conversation without using the audio repeater
Jeff asked me to post screenshots of my basic Audacity settings. Apologies for the naff images. If I knew how to do them better - getting rid of background for example - I would.
Micro setting plus stereo
Other Audacity settings
Mmm. Looks like I've got to upload screenshots to my server before they can be downloaded and inserted here. Tell me if I am wrong about that....What else is possible....OK, I'll give a link....Something tells me it cannot be this complicated..... Next post will contain the images.
Passwords for streaming
I've been asking on class of 2.3 Skype chat for a couple of days for the new passwords for streaming, but all the guys and guyesses are too shy to 'phone me and let me know.
Anyone?
Skype knows me as:

The Newson method - Recording both sides of a conversation without bothering with the audio repeater
Well, I'll be...... I moved for a reference, and lost what I had written here. Again.....
Jeff the Boss has suggested I describe how I seem to have made a reasonable recording of a two-ended conversation without using the audio repeater.
My vital statistics are:
It's not working!
So, I've downloaded VAC and I've watched the screencast on how to set everything up AND IT'S NOT WORKING! There are too many places to set audio preferences (Skype, Audacity, Windows, Audio Repeater) and I think this is why I can't get both me and the Skype lady to record in Audacity.
I'm in the process of downloading Jing so I can demonstrate all of my settings but, unfortunately, I'm going to run out of time today to do this. Better luck Saturday.
I consider myself pretty tech savvy and I have to admit I'm really frustrated right now.
Need a candidate
I tried to talk my daughter into letting me call her on Skype for the Week #2 assignment but she was not excited about it.
Can I talk anyone else into being a volunteer? It would have to be on Sat as school is crazy the next 3 days-Conferences-12 hour days etc.
Thanks for your help.

The Ride Has Definitely Begun . . . .
2007-10-23: The puzzle has a lot more pieces now,
and I'm trying to figure them out. For the telephony
assignment, I'll probably go the Mac route first and
use Nicecast.

Today's Online Meeting
The meeting today was informative and fun.
A sense of camaraderie also developed,
particularly when we were discussing personal
interests and backgrounds:

Teacher Talk Video Studio
Here is the final version of the second broadcast of Teacher Talk, with Lisa Parisi, Susan van Gelder, and Cheryl Lykowski. Our guest was Colleen King, creator of Math Playground.
This was an historical show, due to the fact that, while we were streaming audio, we also streamed video through UStream. So our Teacher Talk Video Studio showed streams of Lisa Parisi, Susan van Gelder and Colleen King. It also had the chat running and a Skype call going with the three mentioned and Cheryl Lykowski.
While there was a lot to combining all the facets of this show, it was great fun and well worth the effort. Thanks to Jeff Lebow for all his encouragement and help getting up and running. And thanks also, Jeff, for recording the video stream.
