Robert,

Please have your mgmt purchase a quality shotgun mic and attach it to your camera for sessions when you have large groups sitting across the room. I stopped watching this video because of the poor audio quality.

Thanks,

Great stuff, all the new writing training is ace. And the fact I should be able to upgrade my M200 to Windows Vista thanks to Tablet being included in Windows Vista itself.

Of course it probably won't stop me from buying a Vista-generation Tablet as things are looking really good.

Little concerened about how the Tablets with touch and digitisers will work, will you turn off the touch screen? The coolest thing people mention when they see mine is you can actually write on the Tablet and rest your hand on the screen to do it so it's very natural.

Keep up the great work guys!

Tablet PC guy at the PDC said the M200 will probably not be able to run Vista, but the M400 will. It should be out by November or later I think.

e: sorry about that. I didn't realize it was going to be a meeting like this before I got there. Certainly sub optimal. But on my speakers I just stayed close to the volume knob and it all worked out. Maybe you can help there too?

Curiously, when the audio level is high - particularly at the beginning of the video - the sound is pretty distorted. Not sure if it's just the accoustics of the room or an encoding issue. When the level is quiet it sounds good, but quiet. The audio levels on all the channel9 videos are pretty low (try playing Spider Sol while you play the video to see what I mean).

I don't know what software you use to produce the videos but if it supports DX audio plugins you can get a compressor/limiter plugin that would equalise the levels a bit. A dynamic range compression of 5:1 ought to do it.

I just use Windows MovieMaker. No special audio tricks used at all. I should start using a real encoding tool.
