Hey there, hero!

First, if you use Windows, you can safely ignore this podcast and continue to use The Levelator on your computer. This is super awesome for Mac users only. But...

If you're an audiobook narrator, or a podcaster, or anyone who needs compressed, limited processing of your sound, here's some great news:

The Levelator, previously only available as a 32-bit (read: old) application for Mac, is now available in the Mac App Store, updated to work with Catalina, the latest MacOS (and older MacOSes as well.), and I demonstrate installing it and using it in this episode.

Huzzah!! With Audacity and The Levelator both working on Catalina, I can officially say that our production stack is now usable on the latest Mac models!

I'd give it a few weeks to see if there are any last minute issues, but we're over the proverbial hump.

But...what of AudioCupcake? Is it still worth it for us to continue to develop it? Is it worth $20 for you to have a one-step drag and drop solution that outputs a file ready to upload to ACX or your podcast host without having to manually bring it back into Audacity, peak normalize it and export to MP3?

Let me know in the comments below, and do be honest - if it's not, tell me. If it is, I'd love to know your thoughts.
