VGDJ: The Official OCR Podcast

[Ranael]

Your welcome. I'm a huge fan because you have one of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard. Quick question, when are you posting new music? I already downloaded everything from OCremix, Animeremix and your site and I'm just curious when I can get new amazing music. Anyway, I'm your number one fan and I am willing to fight to keep that title. (self appointed of course) So Goodnight. I'm just posting at this g-d forsaken hour because I have become an insomniac ever since I got new computer and high speed internet. Anyway, I'm done rambling now. Hope to hear back real soon!

Ok Pixie,

WTF.
ROFL. That's nothing. Brendan, afterwards, decided to walk around in his underwear.

Lol, he's not the one I'm worried about.

And what were YOU wearing? :P
My pajamas, of course. Only guys are silly enough to sleep in clothes. :P

Awwww, thanks, Ranael!

SPECIAL FEATURES = AWESOME :D

The last few shows have been amongst the very best. I don't think VGDJ's ever sounded more professional. Well done pixie and zircon.

Yea every show's gotta a new awesome feature. Keep it up (although special features won't be in every show)!

Awesome job, though. I roffled.

[WesPip]

I was gonna call into the line and say this, but I figure it doesn't warrant 30 seconds of air time, so..yeah.
Anyways, I agree with whoever. That little squeal of delight when pixie actually WON a die-roll. Adorable.
BUT anyways...I plan on winning m'self an SGX album, even though I ordered them earlier this week.
IT MAKES SENSE.

[Jillian Aversa]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

zircietricks / pixiecon here, and you know what time it is...

VGDJ Episode 046: The Liontamer Roars has been released, and is now available at www.vgdj.net! (http://www.vgdj.net)

We had an unexpected meetup @ pixie's place for my birthday, which made it on to this show, officially turning it into a Special Episode (tm)! Guests included djpretzel, Liontamer, D-Lux, Benzo, Ninja-san, GeoffreyTaucer (who is still here as I type this), Moguta, TristorTrucido and MythrilNazgul. We hope you guys enjoy this one, as we sure had some fun making it :)

[Liontamer]

Wait, what did I do?

[Jillian Aversa]

Wait, what did I do?
Why, you sang Lover Reef, of course. ^_~

[watkinzez]

Lyrics plz
I wish to pin them on my wall and read them before I go to bed each night.

[DrumUltimA]

Mr. Oji, you are absolutely hilareous. My word, I had no idea. :D

[Navi]

One would never know by listening to his radio show that Oji had an ounce of personality in him.

The revelation was quite shocking.

[DrumUltimA]

I never actually did listen to his show :oops:

If I ever visit, beer is a REQUIREMENT. None of this 'sparks' or 'smirnoff ice' either. Lame.

Nah, in all honesty, it's probably a good thing you were all sober... we wouldn't want Larry making an ass out of himself... especially not if someone was recording it permanently.

[Dhsu]

You know, I'm fine with VGF being over and all but BRING BACK THE WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT YOU BIKE-STEALING RUSSKIE.

[Jillian Aversa]

That's a berry good idea. Also, Larry, can we submit your rendition of Lover Reef to OLR? :mrgreen:

So... pixie, zirc... when will you guys be coming to Portland, Oregon?

[Splunkle]

Voted. Currently you guys are sitting in at number 10. Good job.

[andyjayne]

Voted. VGDJ is at 18 now.

[Jillian Aversa]

For the last couple months we have usually been in the top 10 for a day or two at the start, so we're actually a little behind right now. We wound up still being at #17 overall last month (and #1 in the music/radio category)!

[Black Mage]

Y'got three votes from me, Pixie! Though I could have sworn that I had one or two more email accounts somewhere.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Y'got three votes from me, Pixie! Though I could have sworn that I had one or two more email accounts somewhere.

Ooh, are we cheating? Cause then I could probably vote like 6 times.

The only problem is that when you vote, I guess they record your IP or something, because you can't vote from the same computer more than once per month. So I had to use a number of computers on campus, just went down the row.

But hey, VGDJ is worth it.

[The Unsung Plumber]

Voted :)!! . As long as Pixie or someone can tell me(Or PM me) how to say "Stupid Emo Kids" in japanese :puppyeyes: ?

2 points about the last episode:
*Pixie: RealPlayer is made for the Mac (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8428), so no excuses!
*Also, it occured to me that since you have the dirt on all of us who submitted answers to the trivia question, it would be a waste to not use them, right? I propose reading all of them off on the air, just not attaching them to any names. :twisted:
Maybe I'm bitter having sent in a response; I dunno...

Too late for that, since we've already recorded and edited for the week. Also, a lot of the anecdotes were long, and it would take too long to read on air. ^_~

I knew it was too late for this week; I was referring to in the future. Ah well.

And... barring any last-minute intrusions, I'll be the last person to post in this thread before the new episode 3 weeks in a row! :P

Sup guys;

Episode 047 of VGDJ is OUT. Pick it up at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

And as pixietricks said, it IS a new month, and we're a little behind, so please keep voting for us at podcastalley:

Edit: Oh, and correction: the whole reason I joined was to learn to play drums (look at the picts, duh). I had wanted to learn for years and I thought, this is something I won't be able to do again, what the heck...

Got to march in the BrisBUN ANZAC day parade (Aussies, you know what that is) and a rugby game, where the last pic was taken.

zomg!

[BlueMage]

Yep, we sounded as shitty as I expected we would. Also, don't blame you for editing out the JP-rapping.

Also, just so you can match voices to faces: Snoop was responsible for "WTF!" and "YOUR MUM!" during the singing, as well as that bit about pixie's hooters; Dr Wily was responsible for "Well EXCuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!"; Spaceman said very little; JamPaladin and I carried the melodic part of the tune for the most part; and finally, I was responsible for muttering "kill it" at the end, along with "MOBGOBLINS" as inspired by the master himself, Shael Riley.

[Jillian Aversa]

Yep, we sounded as shitty as I expected we would. Also, don't blame you for editing out the JP-rapping.
I didn't edit anything out; that's all that was sent to me.

[Dr. Wily]

Yep, we sounded as shitty as I expected we would. Also, don't blame you for editing out the JP-rapping.

But probably better than we sounded singing it on the bus!

EDIT: Yeah, I sent that recording, I didn't have the rap recorded but it will probably turn up on olremix.

[DrumUltimA]

lol @ me :D

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I made you a sig button zircon.

http://lukewilliams.org/x/zirconlol.gif

[dish]

Just want to say that (zircon's) idea about tutorial episodes on remixing basics sounds interesting :) I'd like to try re-arranging VG music myself.

Other than that, your episodes just get better as time elapses. And I think some smell of geekiness is also highly correlated to the better-ness :D

[Jillian Aversa]

I made you a sig button zircon.

http://lukewilliams.org/x/zirconlol.gif
Hahaha... I dunno, I'm gonna have to say Wingless' is more attractive:

Besides, it looks bettarrr with the VGDJ banner. But hey, up to zircon.

[zircon]

Indeed.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Indeed.

Bahaha, don't worry... I'm fully aware it's atrocious.

[DrumUltimA]

oh yeah, laos- ROFL.

[Jillian Aversa]

Awwww, now zircon and I are matching! :puppyeyes:

[zircon]

Hey, just to clarify exactly what we're asking here for the trivia contest - we want BOTH of our pronunciations for the listed ReMixers. In other words, the way I say "McVaffe" is different from how pixietricks says "McVaffe". We want to hear both! Trust me, if you've been listening, the differences are obvious :)

[atmuh]

Yo your voice mailbox is full. That's no fun, I can't tell you what crap I just found in my winamp playlist. :(

[zircon]

Yeah - we just sent an email to Les (the guy who manages our voice mailbox) to empty it, but we're not sure how long it will take.

[WesPip]

I've been AWOL for a few days, but you'll be glad to know, one of the first things I did today when I got on the comp was vote.
So...yeah.

[The Unsung Plumber]

Zircon, on the ReMix tutorial episode-thing, I'd be particularly interested in learning the basics of remixing. My neighbor is going to *kindly purchase me a copy of FL Studio 6, which I understand is an entry-level program for this sort of thing.

I’d like to know how much musical knowledge (in terms of composition, arrangement, production, etc.) is required to get into the ReMixing scene. Does it take a formal education in music theory, or is it something you can pick up if you’re willing to work at it hard enough?

Also, what does it take to make a ReMix OCR-worthy? I think, as a judgefgt, you’d be able to help out on that sort of thing.

---

You guys are doing a great job on the show. It continues to sound very professional while remaining entertaining and engaging to the community. Keeps me going during the workday.

Nice work!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

*cough-sputter-cough* You mean your neighbor is going to kindly buy you a copy? Of course that's what you mean.


which I understand is an entry-level program for this sort of thing.

Yes and no. Easy to learn, difficult to master, and in many ways limited without external input.

Basically you'll notice SOME musical theory involvement. There's knobs marked arpeggio which would require you to know what an arpeggio is. There are chord features which feature chord names. The piano roll displays a piano... but really, ultimately, it's as required for you as it is for anybody... which is as much as you choose to believe. Many rock and roll guitarists had wonderful, talented, and fulfilling careers without ever officially learning a single note. They trained by ear and by practice. Similarly, the more you learn about the nature/science of sound the better. What can it hurt right?

Bottom line; you can get by fine putting random note blocks in random places until they sound good; but you may never know WHY they sound good.

Seconded.

My 2 cents on the musical background thing: It certainly helps, but isn't a requirement. Hell, many of the guitar greats can't even read music! Some people have a knack for that kind of thing (Van Halen, from what I've heard), others learn the rules and then know how to bend them (Soundgarden).
It also depends highly on the style of remixing IMO. Making a solo piano remix and a trance remix seem to me like very different endeavours...


But back to the remix tutorial idea. Rather than teaching any one program, maybe you should talk about the principles of remixing: how to handle original content, how to use and improve insturment samples, sound editing concepts like compression and reverb, etc.
Maybe I'm a little bitter cause I can't have FruityLoops on my Mac; shut up...

[The Xyco]

Thanks for the advice on the musical-knowledge thing, since I've always been somewhat compositionally challenged. I remember a couple of years ago there was a pretty long thread on "how to mix" and such. Most of the responses affirmed that it's not for everyone, and encouraged learning music theory. Naturally, I wanted to start taking some music theory courses through high school, but they were only offered at the AP level, which I think would be a bit much being completely new to the subject. Now that I have some more free time, I can pay attention to these sorts of things, and develop some new skills. I think it'll be much more rewarding than sitting in my dorm or room and playing games all day.

Yes and no. Easy to learn, difficult to master, and in many ways limited without external input.
While my neighbor goes about creaming himself because he thinks Fruity Loops is the most amazing thing ever, I thankfully have been taught by the OCR community that it is considered to be a fairly limited program (depending on what you're trying to do, or course). Perhaps Zircon could touch up on some of the more common programs used in remixing.


All in all, I think it's a great idea Zircon, and it comes at a time I'm ready to listen, since I'll soon have much more free time to study this sort of thing.

[zircon]

I gotta disagree about FL. I do EVERYTHING with FL, all of my mixes are created in there from start to finish. It's not really limited at all.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I gotta disagree about FL. I do EVERYTHING with FL, all of my mixes are created in there from start to finish. It's not really limited at all.

Potentially unlimited.

Depends on what you like and what sounds you want to use. It can do just about anything you wanna do with it though, sure.

[The Xyco]

I gotta disagree about FL. I do EVERYTHING with FL, all of my mixes are created in there from start to finish. It's not really limited at all.
I've only heard bad things about it. But since it's what I'm going to be using, this will probably end up working to my advantage.


Lookin' forward to it.

[Abadoss]

I would say that FL's major limitations come into play when you start working in the orchestral world.

[Jillian Aversa]

Really glad to see you guys are into this idea. We were talking about it earlier, and I think zirc is planning on starting off with the basics for this first round. He'll probably talk about conceptual stuff and point people to some programs to experiment with, but it won't be too technical at first. If the response is good, I'm sure he'll wanna get into more detail in later installments. ^_^

As always, thanks for all your positive involvement. It really makes this show worthwhile and fun. :)!!

[Kanthos]

I'm still trying to catch up on the back issues of the podcast before I get to the current ones, but I would definitely be interested in hearing more about remixing. I probably know most of the basics, but I don't have much experience and would welcome any more tips from seasoned remixers.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I would say that FL's major limitations come into play when you start working in the orchestral world.

In terms of arrangement options, a bit. It sucks for seeing the notes of multiple instruments at once. You'd have to bring up multiple piano rolls. It also sucks, but is not entirely limited for samples. I would be inclined to make orchestral in a midi program then import it in to FL to bring out and customize the samples.

I'm still trying to catch up on the back issues of the podcast before I get to the current ones, but I would definitely be interested in hearing more about remixing. I probably know most of the basics, but I don't have much experience and would welcome any more tips from seasoned remixers.

Don't bother, that was my plan... it's just too much of a commitment all at once. Do both, listen to from maybe last week and the current ones, then, if you've got the bandwidth/space for it DownTHEMall. (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/) Took me maybe 25 minutes to get every mp3 on the site... over 1.2 GB.

[Kanthos]

I found the podcast two weeks ago, and iTunes would only let me download from episode 40 on, so that's all I have. I'm definitely not going all the way back to episode 1, at least not until I'm caught up with the current ones.

This show is a little shorter than usual (although it's actually almost 40 minutes anyway, once you include the SEVEN FREAKING MINUTES OF VOICEMAILS) because there were some real life complications this week. Seeeeee? See how dedicated we arrrre? Zircon can't be here tonight for the release, but I'm sure he's with us in spirit. <3

IT'S THE LAW.

For the record, I'd say I've saved about half of the stingers up to this point, give or take a few.

[The Unsung Plumber]

Sure guys, If I would have known that you were going to play my voicemail, I would have used my dorky voice :roll: .

Actually I was on some meds because I was sick(Antihistamines ROCK!), so that may explain it.

Harder drugs than that are required to explain it.

I'll actually attest to the power of antihystamines... they can do pretty weird stuff to the mind if they're strong enough... (i.e. Dryxoral, Benadryl, Zyrtec, etc.)Well, Antihistamines, plus pain pills, and decongestants together will make ya go into a world where you don't care your sick. :wink:

[Dhsu]

Haha, djp had better say "I AM A BANANA" next time.

Also, "Flow Basket" should be a backronym for "Fruity Loops Operation Workshop...Basket."

[Jillian Aversa]

We haven't received any contest entries so far this week. You guys do realize that we have our entire collection of stingers linked to from vgdj.net, right? The answer really isn't that hard to find.

[Shivy]

I think my keyboard broke again... I'm just gonna have to by a new one, perhaps.


Oh, by the by, that was one of my favorite Walt Whitman poems...

Yeah but no three of them are linked as far a I can see. I can only find two that are linked.

[Dhsu]

The trivia question wasn't too hard to figure, it's just the nickname part that I'm having trouble with. Seriously, I don't have any. :(

I'm sure SOMEONE calls you something you don't want anyone else to hear. It took me a little time, but I realized that I had a pretty bad one.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

The trivia question wasn't too hard to figure, it's just the nickname part that I'm having trouble with. Seriously, I don't have any. :(

I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've got a lot of the stingers summarized and written out in a list... and I'm not seeing any trends that relate to just 3 atm.

[zircon]

We're up to three entries so far (correct ones, I might add) - keep 'em coming! LAOS, it's really not too complex, so just don't overthink it and you'll get it, I'm sure.

I have a question:

Do you guys play every single call in and voice clip you receive? Or do you make a selection, fascist censorship-style...uh...yo? Just wondering...

Also, I took about the 8 VGDJs before the Zircon's birthday edition on my vacation to croatia so I'd have something to listen to. 2 things: VGL was awesome and happy birthday zircon!

[atmuh]

Also, I took about the 8 VGDJs before the Zircon's birthday edition on my vacation to croatia so I'd have something to listen to.

Now all you gotta do is go all the way back to episode 1. I don't know why I never did that, though. For some reason I started at 17 and went back to 14 and never listened to anything before 14.

It's hard to catch up when they're releasing new ones. :wink:
I subscribed around the same time, when the last one in the feed was #10. It took me until this year's 2-month hiatus to get caught up to the present.

There's some decent stuff in the early ep.s, but I do think it's better now... Aurora answers the inevitable "pants" question in #2, the wingless made his Aurora Mix just after, DJP gets interviewed for #4 (definitely not as good as his appearence on the VGL episode, but still), the Canada meetup was for #10, and they talk about the Doom Remix project in #12.
And you have to hear what Aurora & Rayza did "behind the scenes" :wink:

[Teddman123]

hey guys, new to these parts, but im most definatly not new to VGDJ, there is nothing i like more that filling my sunday morning with the Podcast, iv been listening from around episode 40, and i have to say its the best damn podcast out there. 8) Anywhoo i finally got myself signed up to the forums so you shall see me around.

I got on in eps 18. I think it was Pixie's second appearence on the show or something. By the way, when I said I took the last 8 eps, I mean I specifically did not listen to them. The croatians must've though I was crazy when I was laughing to myself during "Penis Reef".

Was listening to old episodes to really compare, and found this:

"Last time I checked we were ranked like 185th on Podcast Alley"
"Woo-hoo!"
:lol:
My how we've grown.

[JSMc]

Hellooooo VGDJ!

I've been listening to all the podcasts from the beginning this past week to catch up. It's hard work! (Not really) I started listening to VGDJ with the current hosts, Zircon and Pixietricks. So when I went to the beginning and found out it started with Rayza and Aurora I was like ZOMG! WILL I LIKE THEM?! And of course I did and was sad to see them go. Then The Wingless came on and I wasn't sure if I'd like him or not, but I did. Now I'm back up to the current hosts, Bear and Jillybean, and couldn't be happier. :D

[zircon]

We're back in full-force! Here we go...

Episode 049 of VGDJ has been released at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

Clocking in at just under an hour, this is fat. But good.

[Jillian Aversa]

Clocking in at just under an hour, this is fat. But good.

Yeah, check it out! This episode includes the first installment of zircon's new remixing tutorial!

[The Joker]

I'll be old enough to turn down legal liqour! That's right... 21. Yay! No liqour! Wooooo!

[Splunkle]

Just finished listening. Another quality episode, so good work guys.

But I was wondering if I could get some sound bites from flow basket, so we could post them everytime somebody makes a thread in remixing called "FLstudio vs Reason?" or something similarly annoying. I would do it myself, but I'm away from my music machine with its wave editors...

[dish]

Nice pilot episode of Flow Basket there, Mr Aversa :) Sounds a little awkward at first because we have 2 hosts and suddenly it's a segment with only one of you.

Oh, I thought Flow Basket sound kind of like Fruit Basket (for which pixie has a mix, I believe). Anyway, just a thought.

Oh, speaking about "anyway", does anyone else find... uhm.. coughzirconisoverusingitcough?

Aaannnd this episode suggests that pixie is converting her co-host into a pronounciation nazi >_>

So, to conclude, great job Bear and Jillybean :)

PS: Jillybean is an anagram of Billyjean *doh* XD

You're on your own for "basket."

Edit: I just about spewed my drink when I heard Jill actually spit the die. I don't know what on God's green earth possessed you to go through with such an act of insanity but holy cow was it hilarious.

[The Tromboner]

I loved 'The Flow Basket". Great job Zircon!

I'm also happy to see my unfortunate nickname make an appearance (which fortunately, did NOT stick in real life. Only one person evers called me that constantly).

I can't wait for #050!

[Black Mage]

I'm sad, the Utah meet-up was not mentioned this episode. :cry: The thread must have been on the second page or something at the time Drum recorded.

Also, how is time measures in Germany such that you loose a year?

ACK! sorry man! I must not have seen it :[ I'll make sure to try to catch it next time.

[The Joker]

I too laughed my tush off when Jilly Bean spit the die... that spelling just seems wrong. Anyway, what distance did you get on that thing?

[Abadoss]

Also, how is time measures in Germany such that you loose a year?

One possible difference might be in marker versus current. For example, (marker) I have lived twenty-one years, but (current) I am living in my twenty-second year. The only other difference that I've run across is in Asia (specifically South Korea), where you are considered a year old when you are born (they count a year for being in the womb).

[Teddman123]

and i guess that could be kinda true because you are "living" your just not aware of it as such. Hmm you know thats got to be the first time iv heard someone give a die oral on radio before, funny stuff :) .

Looking foreward to 50!

[Jillian Aversa]

Lol wtf... That was zircon posting under my account.

Hey I was listening to this weeks episode and I was wondering if Cyan_Ide could mention the fan art compo that started last month. It's monthly, so it wouldn't have to be mentioned every episode.

It's up to them (*shackles clink as hand points to Jill and Andy*). ;)

I'll talk to them about it. I'll cover whatever content we all think needs to be covered. I think it's going to be doubtful though. They're going to say it's not a music competition. Just you watch.

So, in the meantime, listen to some previous episodes, idle in IRC, catch up on old stingers, watch some home movies.. we'll be back before ya know it. ;)

[José the Bronx Rican]

The delay probably works out... I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it: be nice to have ep #050, ReMix #1500 and a new torrent running simultaneously. Especially the torrent... haven't been catching up on recent remixes since August of LAST year.

[Dhsu]

Which reminds me, you guys should set up a VGDJ torrent tracker. Would make it a lot easier for people to grab a bunch at once so they can catch up.

[Jillian Aversa]

Which reminds me, you guys should set up a VGDJ torrent tracker. Would make it a lot easier for people to grab a bunch at once so they can catch up.
We tried that once with ThaSauce, but couldn't get enough people to seed us. ;_; But yeah, I agree with José; it'd be awesome if we could sync episode 50 with remix 1500, Summoning of Spirits, and the torrent stuff... That's been the plan, but it really all depends on how fast Dave and the project team can pull it off. Either way, we have so much stuff in store for this ep you won't know what hit you!

[Joyzilla]

Hey Zircon. I just catched up in the last few episodes and heard that you may be looking for a new sig. If that's so, I could arrange something for you if you want. Just let me know...

Oh btw, I wanted to tell you that, about your podcast animation skillz, you're really getting better with each episodes and it shows. You've gotten a lot of confidence and you sounds way more lively then ever. In the beginning of your VGDJ duty, you seemed IMHO a little uneasy and not as confortable as you could, like you were a bit shy maybe. But now, it's like you've been doing this for years so congrats! And I dont mean that "Jillybean" has not improved as well. It's just that she's very natural with this so, she was already in the zone the first time, so it doesnt show as much... Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that because everyone deserve some elaborated praise every so often. :D

[zircon]

Why, thank you! I feel like I've gotten better also, and hearing it from someone else means a lot to me.

Yeah, I was trying to imitate the :mrgreen: smile from memory and did a pretty poor job at it--though I did have that green hoodie on by coincidence. I noticed the woman behind me just before I posted it :roll:.

I actually didn't have SGX's albums (or VGDJ, thanks to my dead iPod) with me Wednesday through Sunday. Trance music (don't start...) doesn't really fit in with the neo-Woodstock atmosphere there and besides, I haven't even listened to them all the way through yet. I'm really sorry; I have so much new music from so many sources to digest right now it isn't even funny!

I think I finally know how you feel as a Judge, Zircon.

I've never heard another podcast do that. And anyway, we wanted to build it up as a surprise, not have the show start out normally. :P

Pottercast and the "M" podcast (Mugglecast) occasionally drop in on each other's shows in such a manner. Dreamstation.cc has also done it at least once, I think.


But otherwise you guys are doing a great job standing out from the pack! Don't know why more podcasts don't use background music or stingers that aren't outtakes.

Yep... just a regular ole' podcast. Nothing planned...

Nothing special about this one at all...

[JSMc]

I'm on episode 50! I feel loved! Pixie, look into my eyes... OUCH! I said look not poke!

[atmuh]

That was awesome.

[Jillian Aversa]

XD

[Captain Huge!]

Me and Atma Weapon are in there. Were the incredibly low quality portion with the terrible singing and the ferret. we were also the really high pitched intro and ending with tulip sniper. But I wanna know, who were all the other runner ups in the mashup?

[Jillian Aversa]

The Runner Up Medley is tagged with all the contestants! DL it and find out. (^-^)

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that...

Episode 051 is coming out at midnight (EST) tonight!

Whaaaaa? VGDJ on a Tuesday? Why, yes, because we wanted to release a show this week, but Monday was too soon after our special reunion show. And plus, Tuesday happens to be the first day of August, so having a show will serve as a convenient reminder to lend us your votes at Podcast Alley (http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=4140)!

[The Xyco]

Yay! This means that tomorrow will hopefully run as smooth as today. You guys are my entire work day. The daily grind of typing up endless amounts of interrogatories foor civil pleadings is enough to make even the most chipper worker want to croak. VGDJ slows that process.


Also, I'd like to note that this is the first post made from my shiny all-new Conroe-powered notebook.

Why doesn't The Wingless have his own VGM-themed Pee Wee's playhouse style TV show?

Creative differences.

Even though Episode 50 has come and gone (and we're waist-deep in 51), I think mad props are in order for your two loveable hosts, Zircon and Pixie. Episode 50 took alot of time and energy (and some would contest, soul) in order to coordinate, record, and produce. So, give 'em your huzzahs and kudos. They deserve them.

[Phoenix Down]

I didn't realize how awesomely amazing this thing was until I listened today. I was hoping to listen to the podcast with Neil Gaiman. Wow this just blew me away. My only question is, what kind of microphones are you guys using? They sound like they are pretty good ones, or it could be just it's running through a really good mixer or both maybe. Just...wow...you guys are pretty awesome.

Edit: I voted for you guys by the way.

Lucreshia got cought in the VGDJ craze.

[zircon]

L.A.N. Party: Awesome! Thanks for the kind words... glad you enjoy the show. If you're new to the show, definitely try and grab some of our recent special episodes, such as the Video Game Live one and episode 50 (host reunion).


In regards to our mics, we actually don't use anything too expensive. Typically, pixietricks uses a Logitech USB headset and I use a Shure SM-58 running through a Behringer UB502 (very cheap mixer) going to my EMU 0404 sound card ($99). When we do live shows we usually use an SM58 and an SM57 instead, but the sound quality isn't quite as good because it's running through my laptop which has a terrible sound card.

I'm listening to the reunion right now actually. I think it's pretty cool. I keep wondering if the former DJ Aurora is the one everyone kept refering to when I had changed my name to Aurora Borealis at one point.

I tend to use a logitech USB headset myself. It's the one that came with Karaoke Revolution. I find it amusing that I have found other uses for it though such as voice chat (which is something I really don't do, but I guess it's cool if I ever consider doing it). Those microphones are not bad, those are the rough and tough ones. They can at least give you decent sound which, from the sounds of it, they do their job well. It still sounds pretty good, which is what impressed me. I was expecting slightly lower quality, but this was a complete surprise. I am happy for this.

Lucreshia got cought in the VGDJ craze.

LIE! YOU LIE LIKE A RUG! :lol: You know not what you speak of! HUSH! :wink:

[zircon]

DJ Aurora?! Now, that's a new one to me... as far as I know, Aurora has always just been "Aurora" on OCR. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, I suppose it's also worth noting that from time to time we do some postprocessing stuff to make the sound a little better. For one thing, we always run some serious compression and limiting to smooth out the volume levels, and if there's any high amount of noise - electrical, mechanical, ambient, whatever - we use the noise removal tool in Audacity to clean that up. That was the case with Wingless' recording, for example, in episode 50. It had this low pitched rumble in the background, but with a little selective EQ and noise reduction we got rid of it completely.

VGDJ is the official podcast for Overclocked ReMix presented by your hosts Aurora & Rayza.

Says that she was a host and because of the reunion I thought she may have DJed at some point. 8O I must have just embarrassed myself. Oai sorry my bad.

Yeah having little audio tools like that are pretty handy and nice.

But how would it be interactive...?


And what? No "My Name is Nineko" (http://olremix.org/remixes/?id=185) during the Meetup Report??
I'll forgive you because in its place is S.S.H., but it would be a shame not to play it on a future show...

I'm sad, though. Stupid Otacon is in Baltimore, and that's a hassel for someone out on the West Coast.

Still, I've gt a friend going, and Ive hassled him enough to go to the Panel if at all possible, so we'll see.

Yeah, we include a list of the background music in all our shownotes at www.vgdj.net. Get with it! ^_~

By the way, the reason I sound a little squeaky in that one part is that when we were editing, it got ever-so-slightly time stretched in FL Studio! Hehehehe...

I'll let you guys on in a little secret... when I was editing this one on my laptop, I think I must have accidentally moved the "pitch" knob next to one of pixie's recordings. Not by much, only a few %. But even when we were going over the show before releasing it, neither of us noticed. Whoops! :D

Tsk Tsk, zircon.
As a fellow audiophile I am ASHAMED of you. :(





















:D

[zircon]

ey fellas (and fell...ettes?) - given the good reaction to the first installment of the Flow Basket, I think I'm going to start planning another one. What would you guys like to hear on there? I was thinking about describing how you can structure a ReMix so it's not too close to the original but not unrecognizable either, as well as perhaps selecting the right instruments for the job. More audio examples this time as I don't have to do a long introduction going through the basics ;)

[Shivy]

Sounds good, Zircon. A lot of times when I try to remix something, it gets bogged down with original material and strays too far from the original.

I loved the first Flow Basket, love to see another one.

[The Xyco]

Sounds awesome zircon. Can't wait to hear it.

[Abadoss]

zircon, do you ever plan on hitting things like Finale at all?

[zircon]

zircon, do you ever plan on hitting things like Finale at all?

I don't think so, for a few reasons. One is that I don't really intend to go into the specifics of any one program. Honestly, between resources on the web and instruction manuals, it's not too difficult to learn the ins and outs of a sequencer. Additionally, Finale is a notation program; not only do I not use those, but what more could I say about them? They let you write MIDI notes in traditional staff notation format, nothing too special there.
