There is no time line. There are several of us that monitor this forum for new content, and if we have time, we will listen and review the audio merits of the content. :-)

As one new too the community, can someone give me an approximate review time line for admin response to a newly submitted podcast installment? Just uploaded my first effort/installment to the PB gurus and was curious what the turnaround time is on average. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello all. I'm a newly published author, jazz musician and IP attorney (one fully in support of The Commons). I joined Podiobooks as a way to both promote and share my writing. I hope to have the first installment of Virtual Vice posted on PB shortly. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in getting started. Evo, thank you for the helpful primer notes in your intro.

Thanks guys. That's a big help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes, what Grizzly wrote is the way you do it. Record in mono, and when you export your file as an .mp3 out of Adobe you'll be able to export as an .mp3, constant bitrate, Joint Stereo (the constant bitrate should be a radio button and the joint stereo should be checkboxes you can check (if the Export as .mp3 window is the same in Soundbooth as it is in Audition.

I use neither of the tools you're using, but here's a hint that might simplify your life: you are not obligated to RECORD in stereo. The file you export and upload has to be in 128 Joint Stereo.

If you record in Mono, and can figure out how to turn that mono track into a stereo track in Adobe Soundbooth -- even if both sides are identical -- you'd be perfectly fine in technical terms, as long as the final MP3 you export is Joint Stereo in format.

Hope that helps.

Here's a technical question that I hope is so common there is a standard response. I'm getting set up to record my first installment for my book and I know I need to record in stereo mode (yes, I read instructions) but I'm having a problem doing that.

I'm using Adobe Soundbooth (seems like a quality product) and a Blue Snowball UBS microphone (I'm very happy with it -- it even looks cool) but I can't seem to get it to record in stereo mode -- just mono. Has anyone had this problem? If so -- what do you do? (btw, I'm in Vista).

I want to do this right the first time. Thanks.

Writing to write is not enough - if no one else "hears" your product then you are hurting yourself - record post solicit advice strive to improve

That is my new year's resolution and it has been years since I have made one I thought here would be the right place to do it

Call out to Nathan /PG help. I am having a itunes id3tag thing happening. I can see them but they are not getting uploaded. Is there something else I can do besides slid the file to the desk top and back to itunes to be sure they are actually there?

Well, I am officially terrified. After reading all the rules and rereading the rules, I did a quick check and verified I am, in fact, human and am, therefore, apt to be flawed. It is with great trepidation I post my first episode as is suggested in step # 2 of 4 in 'Submitting your Podiobook'.

I do have a specific technical questions.
In tagging the file, I was not offered an option of 'genre' or 'part of compilation' - is this okay or is there something else I should do?
