[icon-discuss] Re: LevelStar announces the Icon Qwerty Docking Station

Jenny. Are you going to let us know which tutorials have changed and give us
links to only download the ones that have changed?
Thanks.
Boy! What a pain to have to re-do those.

Jenny,
Does this mean that you will repost your entertainment series, and your work
and school series, or would you just repost them on the tutorials?
Also, I was curious how you are making your Icon heard so well while
recording on your PC.  Is there a special utility on the Icon that isn't in
the menu, and is accessed some other way?

Yes, there will be a podcast, just let us get through getting this release
out the door, have to update all the tutorials already created and things,
then I will move on to the new stuff.  There will definitely be an audio
overview before they start shipping on May 15.  I will record it with mics
meant for live recording rather than mixing it through the computer as
usual, so that the keyboard can be heard in use, the speakers, etc.
