Hi Amri,
My wife is due to give birth to our baby girl next month. I really like the name, Amri, so does my wife. It’s my mother-in-law’s name but spelled backwards (Irma). I’ve been searching this name, its meaning, etc., but I’m finding out that Amri is a boy’s name. Now I’m having second thoughts about it. We want a name that’s uniquely simple and girl sounding. What do you think?
Respectfully,
Victor

ah. Let’s see, where could I buy one of those in Iquitos?

Oh, wait, I can’t.

Sorry folks.

I’ll be in the States for a visit in June. I’ll buy a better one then. Til then, y’all will have to suffer.

Amri, the key is a better microphone, something that’s just your headset. Maybe something noise-reducing?

y’all are lucky I don’t post photos. The photo of the skinned monkey (with the sad eyes) is priceless.

So my delay (being in Iquitos) is a big problem I don’t know how to fix. Also, there is no quiet place in Iquitos so my voice is usually quieter because if I turn it up too much you’ll think you’re being run over by a moto-taxi or pecked to death by a rooster, neither being very appealing. I record my section on GarageBand. I know how to edit out the sound between me talking but anyone know how to quiet background noise but keep my voice loud? I can’t figure it out.

Oh, I second the vote for MikeInWeHo. And the firing line is a fun idea, too- says the girl with no microphone.

Here’s my two bits: run the podcast through a compressor to level out the signal a bit. I’m constantly adjusting the volume to compensate for quiet mumbling interspersed with excited shrieks as someone really lays into the mic.
