Always enjoy the podcasts. I wonder if the sound quality could be improved somewhat?

What sort of post-processing is done to reduce the background noise?

Edit. Had a play with Audacity (free audio editing program). Did three steps to get this result. 1. removed the background noise. 2. applied a -20dB dynamic range compressor effect to equalize the volume of the different voices (somewhat), and 3. normalized the podcast to -3dB. Really didn't take long, and that was including downloading and learning how to use Audacity. Could do it again in a couple of mins.

Edit. give me a second to find a host that works.

EDIT (Getofmeland) - Downloaded so we can compare, cheers for doing it

Does that sound a little better?

For future use, here's the guide I found to remove background noise using Audacity: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/remove-ambient-noise-audio-files-audacity/

Worth doing imo.

Edit. Not sure what the weird bleeping is in the background when SelimNiai speaks. I haven't got the skill/time to remove that.

Its my crappy, standard mic. I have ordered a gaming-style headset and mic so next one I'm on we shouldnt have this issue.

Big question though Dull, did the beeping make more sense than I did?
