Episode One: Three is a Magic Number (Download this episode)

In this episode:

• our recording setup and just how much trouble it is to use three microphones in Garage Band
• That customizing your software may not be a good thing (we’re looking at you, FireFox)
• What browsing the web was like in 1995 and how awesome Microsoft Plus! was
• Jason Johnson’s search for the ideal ear buds to use with his iPhone
• Kids music and what else you can find on our iPhones
• and we lay out the vision for the podcast

Some links to a few of the items discussed during this episode:

• We used a Blue Snowball, an MXL 990 & PreSonus Inspire 1394, and an M-Audio Producer USB to record into Garage Band.
• Microsoft Plus! and the IBM PS/Note, which used Lynx or Telix (Not Planet Telex) or some other browser we couldn’t remember.
• Jason Johnson’s Klipsch in-ear headphones and Jason Coleman’s off brand headphones. Trey is happy with the Apple ear buds. Though we don’t bother cleaning them, Lifehacker encourages you to do so.
• You can learn more about Dan Benjamin (The Ruby Show) and Leo Laporte’s (TWiT) podcasts. They seem to know what they’re doing.
• “Three is a Magic Number” by Bob Dorough from Schoolhouse Rocks
• We spend a lot of time watching TED talks and Morning Becomes Eclectic
