On Dave’s end, a Heil PR-40 microphone) is used, and the whole show is mixed “live” through a Mackie Onyx 1220 FireWire-enabled mixer) before being pumped back into the Mac (via FireWire, of course), and is monitored with Ultimate Ears UE-7 Ambient) earphones. Each microphone is run through a channel on a Behringer Autocom Pro-XL MDX1600 compressor), a touch of reverb is added with an ART FX-1 processor), and the whole thing is then compressed in software on the Mac. The show is recorded to AIFF, and then converted and uploaded with an Automator script. Michael, aka Computernap), then goes through and enhances the show to provide you with the AAC version.
