Hi all,

I'm in a newly planted church and I'm newly responsible for recording, editing, and posting the message podcast. I'm using Audacity and would appreciate feedback on the following examples:

1) http://www.austinjourney.com/sermon/the-church-as-...
The Intro is cobbled together as a proof-of-concept. It is my voice, from a laptop microphone, over a couple of loops from magnatune.com. We'll rework it with a better recording, probably different music, and possibly a different announcer -- but I'd love your feedback and suggestions before we do (as well as on the recording of the message as well!)

2) http://www.austinjourney.com/sermon/becoming-peopl...
This one is a disaster... the input was way too high at the time of recording and there is LOTS of clipping. I'll try to find a better mix with future recordings, but meanwhile is there anything to try in editing that could make this better?

Thanks for your help,

Scott
