We skipped a show because of Derek's cancer treatment, but now we're back with an extra-long episode to make up for it. We have tons of news, plus our new "Show Us and Tell" contest, letters in the mailbag, an audio comment, MIDI 101, Audioengine 5 speakers, and feedback on our video podcast in IHR #40. If you can play Enhanced podcasts (AAC enhanced) on your iPod or PlayStation Portable, or in iTunes or QuickTime, you'll find lots of photos and links accompanying this episode. 00:00 Intros, Derek's side effects (including cool gadgets such as his radiation machine and the huge door for that room), new shows on the Home Recording Network, Paul's appearance on The Lab With Leo, coming to TV in May. 05:38 NEWS: Apple SoundTrack Pro, Adobe Soundbooth, and Sony Sound Forge; Rogue Amoeba's Fission 1.5 and Audio Hijack Pro; Musikmesse announcements including Roland's new HD-1 V-Drums kit and Digidesign speakers and Venue live console; funny Nickelback story. 18:00 NEW CONTEST: "Show Us and Tell" - Send your favourite original recording as an MP3 attachment, with "Contest" somewhere in the subject line, to contests {at} insidehomerecording {dot} com (or post a note and a link to an MP3 on a server somewhere in the IHR forums), with an audio or written explanation of how you put it together. (Note that cover tunes of non-public-domain music won't work, because we can't play them on the show.) We'll randomly draw from all submissions (one per person) for some great prizes in July. The deadline is July 1, 2007.
