This is especially helpful as conference call podcasting seems only lightly covered and seemingly more challenging to technically get right. Does HSC offer an audio file for each caller? Seems like that would be sweet since conference calls often have volume levels that need adjusting. Thanks Trent!

We'll often ask the participants to go through an audio check before we start the interview, and ask them to adjust as appropriate. I do find that I'll tweak the audio envelope in the waveform during editing for volume levels that are particularly egregious. Mixcraft makes it easy to do, so it's not burdensome when necessary.
