<p>
Our recommended setting for recording is 44100 Hz, 24 bit depth, saved as Lossless FLAC Level 8 (best).
</p>
<p>
If your recording setup can't do that, then pick a lossless format, with the highest sample rate you can.
If you only have access to a lossfull format like mp3, then please send that in as is.

<p>
We all want to produce the best quality we can.
We encourage you to record using the best equipment you have.
However if the show is audible then that is sufficient.
The show <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'eps/hpr2627/index.html') %-->">hpr2627 :: Home Phone Setup!!</a> is a perfect example of this.

<p>
If it's taking too long to edit the episode then you are less likely to submit the show.
Send this show in, and employ your lessons learned in the next one.
</p>
<p>
A rule of thumb is to never spend more time editing than recording.

<p>
The mail is just a way for us to get back to you if there was an issue posting the show.
</p>
<p>
If you trust the janitors to know your real email we can just use an alias for you on the web site and have it
forward the email to you automatically. That runs the risk that were the redirect list compromised then your
real email would get exposed.
</p>
<p>
If you prefer, we can use the janitor email for your shows with your own host id. Then if any emails come in we can manually
forward them at some point. The risk is that you are trusting the janitors to protect your email but again it could be compromised.
</p>
<p>
In both cases we would do our best to protect your email but we can't guarantee anything.
</p>
<p>
The other option is to use an a throwaway email, like <a href="https://www.guerrillamail.com/">https://www.guerrillamail.com/</a>
for your show. This will be up for enough time to get the key necessary for to post the show.
However keep in mind that we will be very suspicious of any submission done this way and will be checking it in detail,
so expect delays in processing.
