Then perhaps you should read the second paragraph:

"It's not like we've never seen this before. A company starts an open source product, gets a bunch of people to contribute to it and then keeps a separate branch of development for themselves and their paying customers. Eventually enhancements and bug fixes make their way into the Open Source version of the product. In the case of Growl however OSX Lion happened, and what better way to profit than to create a private branch of Growl, put all the fixes needed to operate Growl under OSX Lion and throw it up on the AppStore for $1.99. Yeah, they never bothered to feed the fixes back into the OSS version of Growl. They took their proverbial ball and they're going straight to the bank with it."

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Back in the day when it wasn't me recording we used Audacity. But I always figured that was just because the guy recording it was on Linux. But if you recommend it over GB for recording on Mac, I'll give it a shot. Normally we are on Skype, so I just use Call Recorder for Skype (and I recommend that for anyone interested in doing a Skype Cast) [http://ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/]

It was an hour long interview recorded on a handheld device...

Actually it wasn't a hand held device at play, it was two condenser mics, two MBPs and Garage Band in a *very* noisy venue with a soft spoken guest :) Sorry we couldn't clean it up anymore. Near the end of the cast you can actually detect the drift (echo) between the two MBPs recordings... oops :) Can I just say one thing, and it might have just been my computer because Guillermo's was fine, but Garage Band cannot be trusted on its own for live recordings. You should always record in tandem with someone else. It crapped out on my computer twice. Once was at the end of this interview, luckily though the underlying recording was recoverable from the .band package (although the track wasn't showing up in GB, can you say... HEART ATTACK?) If anyone has any tricks to get rid of the background noise, please let us know over at The Basement Coders! I'll take this opportunity to ask if anyone has suggestions on other guests or topics please let us know on Twitter (@bcoders). Although we are primarily Java developers, we want the cast to take on a more heterogeneous vein (in fact the origins of the podcast [eps 1-5] was exactly that.
