We didn't do that very successfully.... The mixer can have a graphical display, but as none of use would be watching it during recording, that would be of limited value anyway. The only other option would be to get a device that does multi-track recording so each person can be adjusted individually afterwards, but this really feels like overkill(!)<br><br>The mics aren't great, but getting them in stands would be a better way than buying new ones to maintain the distance 'mouth to mic' and to limit the handling noise we got a lot of this time. If you really wanted to spend money lapel mics would achieve a similar effect. Yes – normally you balance the inputs at the mixer. We didn't do that very successfully….

Just thought I'd let you know. Also, I found a free service that does just that, gives a unique US phone number to dial to listen to a podcast, it's <a href="http://podlinez.com">podlinez.com</a>. Cool thing is that apparently anyone can submit a podcast there. So, I submitted the SMS Text News Podcast and the number is: +1 (712) 318-9820. There's an ad at the beginning, not that intrusive in my opinion, plus one caveat: if nobody calls for two weeks, the number is lost. This service comes from Phonecasting, and they apparently also have UK numbers (although they seem to be in the 084 range), but for some reason the procedure for those seems more complicated. Details (well, not that many) here: <a href="http://phonecasting.co.uk/packages/packages/packages.html">http://phonecasting.co.uk/packages/packages/pac...</a>.
