Biography

Been interested in computers since I can remember my dad getting a Commodore 64. I lack the formal training but I am always willing to learn all things geeky. I attend a small church (15 people or so) and started getting involved in trying to improve their website, BTE Ministries. The Lord has blessed me with an amazing wife and daughter who help keep me sane. I work as a government employee as a means to pay the bills but seeing how the Lord uses technology and the fruit that comes from that is what is truly rewarding to me. As ministries expand on the WWW, countless more lives are being changed and transformed by His spirit. What a blessing that is.

I am a Geek. I love God.

    The Conversations Network

    So what is The Levelator? It's software that runs on Windows, OS X (universal binary), or Linux (Ubuntu) that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better.
