Haha, if you guys think OCR has been getting a slew of rock remixes lately, you guys should check out the Stuff of Legends tier over at VGMix; I think 90% of it is rock and metal. :P
I think the Dwelling of Duels (http://dod.vgmix.com) is to blame, partially. ;)
EDIT: "For-Tuna"? Is that related to "Bad Tuna"? I think it's "Forchoona" =P

Edit: The interview was HILARIOUS. It kicked so much ass. I'm so sold on VGDJ. You guys have an awesome show going on here.

Yeh this week Aurora had her mic volume up louder than usual PLUS I didn't get to compress it properly before I had the big PC crash of '05.. All she had was the rough cut which I send to her early so she can get started on the show notes. It was actually Aurora that edited the whole show so congrats to her for putting it together at all. Hopefully I can recover something from this cuz theres a bunch of music due for school plus that Jim Powers mix I started and was liking, then bad tings a gwan :( :(
Hopefully 006 will get us back on track and smooth sailing forever..

You did well. I'm sure that people generally enjoyed hearing the Zexy Aurora Voice. I like to leave constructive criticism sometimes but despite all of that you two are doing really well. The presentation and speaking is improving rapidly, too - much more natural and flowing.
Flowing, like a river. :)

Also, Aurora seems to have encoded the show at 128kbps.. I usually do it at 64kbpbs to save space/transfer time.. Would you all prefer it at the higher bitrate with the bigger filesizes?

I didn't really notice much of a difference sound-wise, but maybe that's because you were having mic issues -- either the extra bitstream compensated for it, or you really aren't gaining much by encoding higher. I know one thing you can do is encode as Ogg Vorbis (http://www.vorbis.com/) (Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis)); that format is inherently variable-bitrate and tends to do just as well as MP3 with a slightly lower filesize at similar quality settings. An Ogg Vorbis stream with a nominal bitrate of ~64kbps (q0) or ~80kbps (q1) should suit your needs just fine. I realize this can be a bit technical if you're not familiar with Ogg Vorbis, but the crew at Hydrogen Audio (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org) would be able to help with that. :)
Edit: Of course, if people are actually putting this on iPods or other portable media players. That's the big downside. So if you want to sick with MP3, I think 96kpbs (either CBR or VBR) should do fine.
Smoke
06-21-2005, 10:28 PM
Problem: iPods don't dig OGG. Can't have a Podcast if it can't be played on an iPod ;).
Maybe AAC is a better alternative?

Yeah, I was posting my comment on VGDJ when I realized that. :P
I dont' have much experience with AAC, myself. Never really did much beyond the usual suspects (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Musepak).
Smoke
06-21-2005, 10:47 PM
iTunes is really easy with it. Just add the original WAV file to the library, right-click it and select "Convert to AAC". Only requirement is that you've set up the AAC converter(Edit > Preferences > Importing) and selected it as import device. Can also be used for ripping CDs, and will convert any file iTunes can play back, including MIDI files.
Also, iPods have no problem with MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless and a special Audiobook file format.
For the best compatibility, I'd say stick to MP3.
Yeah, stick with mp3, even though ogg is better than mp3, and even aac (debatably in general, but certainly for this purpose it's the case). I'm all for supporting ogg, but not at the cost of listeners.
Now I would like to switch the conversation to why they went with the name Podcast and not showcast to avoid confusion, and why the iPod doesn't support ogg. not being serious here, unless you want to start a new thread
For the best compatibility, I'd say stick to MP3.I agree... although I still have to convert the MP3 to another format (in this case, GBS) to listen to it on my player (http://www.movieadvance.com/).
Maybe you guys can do an MP3pro Podcast. You still get the MP3 compatibility, but those with MP3pro-capable software/hardware can listen to a 'higher-quality' version. (notice the quotations)
Zarggg
06-21-2005, 11:41 PM
Exactly. The quotes implying a purely subjective thing. Personally, I think it's all... oh, crap I forget the term... when you want to think that something is better but there's no basis for it. Oh well. I'll think of it later.
Anyway, the point of my post: I just blogged (http://zarggg.net/blog2/entry_86.php) you guys. Hope I didn't get anything wrong. If there's anything you want me to correct, add, or post in particular, let me know.
...when you want to think that something is better but there's no basis for it.Yup... that's pretty much what I wanted to get across... I personally have rarely used MP3pro, (only when downloading rare songs/albums and such) because nothing else was available.
I really have no preference in the format AS LONG AS I get to listen to it...
Oh.. and in other news: I've attempted to advertise VGDJ on another board I post at (Acmlm's Board) (http://board.acmlm.org/profile.php?id=244). Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what I'm talking about.

She is the river that runs where all water is gone. She is the ice that lasts in a land of liquid heat. She is the final breath of the firstborn, and the first sweet drops of life that we mortals are akin to. It is a precious few leaves that makes up one of our lives in the great tree that is time, and yet, thanks to her, a flower blooming closely to us mere shadowy leaves, the lifetime between the spring we bloom and the autumn we fall is made worth it all. She is the dewdrop that glistens in the sun and sways gently in the wind, reflecting the light of the world in all directions that we may be illuminated to her wonderous presence.
Oh, and Auroramix stopped just as it was getting musicially interesting.

Awesome. XD Even if you think it didn't turn out, it *did*.
Edit: Rayza, you said your hard drive has no master boot record? If that's the case, you should just be able to boot up on another drive (or a boot disc) and then grab the contents of that drive. That's assuming you don't have a data copy of your drive already.

She is a dazzling light upon which we are shepherded from the darkness of ignorance and hatred. She is the sun by which we are all sheltered and caressed in her glorious embrace. She is a wonderful human being and she deserves our respect, our awe, and our love.
That was absolutely beautiful man. Now all you need is a balcony, Aurora standing on it and you at the bottom with a guitar (or a synthesiser, whatever your fancy).
Okay, you asked for it. Wingless, eat my heart out! Razz

Easier option if you run Windows XP: Boot from the XP CD-ROM or the 6 floppy set you can get at bootdisk.com, go into the Recovery Console(Hit R), and type fixmbr.

Tried that, windows crashes to a BSOD if I even connect the messed up HDD now. I tried using the Ultimate Boot Disk which has Bart's PE and tons of free diasnostic tools but they do the same thing, crash to a BSOD with a Plug n Play error. I disabled PNP in BIOS but still crashing. No idea what to do..

Turn on SMART in your BIOS and see what it has to say. Also, support.microsoft.com doesn't show anything useful for the CA code. They've got quite a few tips on fixing issues, so check the error code.

Rayza, if Windows is crashing on you, you might want to consider creating a Knoppix Live-CD disc if you're daring. It will be able to copy your data if you don't have a backup. If you just want to restore your OS, then you can probably do that in Knoppix with some bootloading configuration but I hesitate to recommend that option since it requires a lot of knowledge of bootloading and how your system's set up.

Something interesting:
The latest version of iTunes has just come out, and it has a new option for Podcasts. You can subscribe to certain Podcasts, and even publish your own with it.
Requirements are an RSS feed of the Podcast, info on the Podcast itself(Including artwork for the Album Art feature), and some extra info not in the feed. It's free to publish one, and the only requirements are that they're in AAC or MP3 format and don't have any copyrighted material or bad language. They can be reviewed before they're published too, and won't be added immediately.
When you subscribe, you'll be notified of updates and can download the file directly through iTunes(adding it to your Library for synching with your iPod too)
More info can be found through iTunes itself, they have a nifty FAQ.
EDIT: I've just been checking the system, quite userfriendly and subscribing just involves clicking a few links. It's all free too, and quite a few Podcasts are already available. Subscribed Podcasts are automatically updated if a newer version is available during your(pre-set) check time.
With the latest iPod software update you also get a new Podcasts entry, which lets you listen to your selection.

So just to keep it consistant, iTunes 4.9 has been released for both the mac and windows... 4.9 includes a podcast directory via the iTunes Music Store (iTMS) and the ability to subscribe and keep track of podcasts right in iTunes... its a cool feature if a) it worked properly and b) it included more indy podcasts like ours or at least gave us the heads up that there would need to be more tags included in the feed in order to make it iTunes compliant...anyways...
I submitted our feed 2 days ago... it still hasn't shown up in the directory... hopefully it will appear soon. It would be great advertisement if it did eventually make it in there.
Anyways...there ya be.

It's in Music, although it only shows up in searches, not in the actual directory yet for some reason. Searching for "VGDJ" or "Remix" gives it as result.

IN OTHER NEWS:
We broke 100 subscribers!! YAY!
IN FURTHER NEWS:
Rayza and I have been talking about getting a way for people to leave us audio comments... some podcasts have dedicated phone lines set up either through voip or whathaveyou to get the recorded listener feedback. Another thing we were thinking about is having requests come in from our listeners... maybe switch up the Russian ReMix Roulette segment with a request or something.
ANYWAYS. With Audio comments, we can just put them right in the show and integrate is as part of our show. You can always generate an MP3 of yourself asking question/making request/giving feedback and send it to us at our email (vgdjpodcast@gmail.com)... but if you can't do that, then there's another way!
The Gizmo Project (http://www.gizmoproject.com/) is a Skype-like program that allows you to leave audio messages to whomever you'd like if they are not online. The recipient will get an email with your recorded message! This program is cross platform and seems to work quite well on OS X and Win (haven't tried it on 'Nix yet)... but anways, you could use this service to send us your audio comment.
add "VGDJ" to your Gizmo list and leave us a comment!

Aurora forgot to mention some points.
Gizmo is still in beta and is not the most intuitive program. After you've added the "VGDJ" account to your Gizmo list, just double click the name to start the call. It should ring a few times then play a standard "Leave a message" type voice (which I wish we could customize). Leave your message but watch the call counter and try not to go much over 1:30 at most or else it cuts off. Somewhere before 2 minutes anyway.
It may also be good to include your email address or something in the voicemail if you want us to get back to you.
If I think of anything else I'll edit this message.

Ya see, I talk really loud. I still haven't found the sweet spot for microphone position (its a headset) and input volume... i should have a microphone on the other side of the room hahaha. Thanks for that.. I suck cuz i'm so FULLZ OF NRG hahah (i think its mostly because I"m losing my hearing and so i compensate by talking really loud)
PROMO IDEAS!!!!!!! YAY! Send us what you got, man. We're not expecting people to actually DO Them.,..but you can if you want!
PS: Thanks Rayza for cleaning up my mess. Now get in the kitchen and make me some pie.

Yeh I think next time we should do a few test runs. I'll hear you fine but when you're recording is where the problem lies. We'll find a good spot and make a note of it. Using a notepad and pen, or crayon.
Also some of it may be my fault, I still haven't gotten compression of everything properly. Need to spend more time on that and learn better techniques. Right now I'm just squashing the shit out of everyones voices so I'm not sure if thats what I should be doing, just don't want them to be too quiet then this loud music burst comes in from the ReMix clips.
Anyhow, once we're through a dozen or so I think we should get on the right track.
As for the missing Episode 7, can anyone verify if Smoke is right or Aurora is wrong? :lol:
And you're losing your hearing? Really? Thats terrible..

Ok check this out, even easier than installing Gizmo to leave us voice messages.
Step 1) Call one of the access numbers which is closest to you. This may or may not cost you money, hopefully not much if any.
Atlanta 1-678-918-5026
Atlantic City 1-609-840-8027
Baltimore 1-410-372-4173
Chicago 1-708-437-9040
Connecticut 1-860-256-4170
Dallas 1-469-449-2560
Fort Worth 1-817-886-2285
Daytona Beach 1-386-267-2650
Houston 1-832-631-1597
Los Angeles 1-323-908-4167
Miami 1-786-206-4270
New York 1-347-427-9019
N New Jersey 1-973-494-5586
S New Jersey 1-609-873-8119
Philadelphia 1-610-879-1419
San Francisco 1-415-354-1083
Seattle 1-206-219-5789
Washington, DC 1-202-742-5739
Step 2) Press 1 at the main menu for the SIP phone user option.
Step 3) Dial our access number (IMID number) 1-747-604-1691 then press # (pound).
Step 4) Listen to a generic answering prompt then leave a message at the beep! Don't ramble on for more than 1:30 or so. Actually I have no idea but I'm sure it has some kind of time limit.
Shortly after that we will receive an email containing your message in a file called message.wav which is ready to be played on VGDJ. Also you may want to leave your email address (which will not be disclosed) or your name (real or otherwise) so we can either get back to you or mention you on the show.
First one to leave a message gets a kiss from Aurayza..
EDIT: Seems to be working again. Hopefully for the long run, but probably not. You know how this technology game goes..

Meh. I can't really complain about your mic quality; it sounded alright to me. Rama's mic, on the other hand... seriously, what is up with the poor sound quality in the rama report? I don't have anything against the segment otherwise..
Hey, why not make a store at cafepress to sell VGDJ t-shirts? OCR t-shirts seem to go well when they're in stock. It would be a nice way to pay for server space (or a new mic for rama =P).

Just a note to add to this... if you are listening to our podcast and you think we've missed something, this is exactly what we would like you do to. If you know that an event is coming up or your projects are moving up in the world or whathaveyou, please let us know in the various forms of communication we provide. We can't catch everything and the rama report sometimes doesn't get everything either, so if you'd like us to mention something that's upcoming, please lets us know before THURSDAYS (i think everyone knows this now though) as Rayza has indicated...
I guess I just wanted to make that official as in we do like getting material from people... its makes the podcast more of a community effort and its fun.

Well we have roughly 169 people that have subscribed to the RSS feed. There has been over 300 downloads of the latest show so I think thats a more accurate stat..
Since there are a bunch of new listeners via iTunes we are gonna do a quick recap of OCRology.. Hopefully get people interested in the site and shiznit..

Woohoo! I've been gone a while--I need say that ep 004 was MARVELOUS and that the DJP interview was GREAT!
And ep 008...yes! Loved the show. I'm glad that you guys brought in the basics of OCR again. Next time you do that, mention what happens when someone "reinterprets" a video game song. Good reviews, despite nobody sending you clips.
On that note, I have two things to say to all remixers, current and to-be:
1. Send VGDJ a clip when they ask for one! Your flipping voice on the radio about your song! Shit!
2. Make it concise. I'm sorry, I get a little tired after 5 minutes of rambling.
On the subject of Rama, his singing to the melody of "Kingdom Trial" was both original and hi-freakin'-larious. And he should stop recording in his bathroom! Get some padding, or something, cause the Rama Report sounds like I'm playing raquet ball.
Great job again, Aurora and Rayza. No beer bongs, the both of you!
Edit: OH SHITS THE RAYZAMIX!! SWEET!

Hey, you guys should mention OCR Idol next time. We finished Round 4 and came up with some pretty decent entries. And then there's Round 5, which was submitted and has yet to be judged, but they'll be up soon and the remixers could really use feedback. Talk to Suzu if you want some information... hm, Sir Nuts, TO, Rama, and Gray are judging that one. This might end up being covered by ThaSauce but hey, a mention never hurt.
Will listen to 008 today when I get to work. :)

Just a note in reference to this: Like we said in the beginning we can't catch everything that's going on... so make sure if you have stuff going on you think is noteworthy you tell us before thursday if you want it in the next episode (as in, if you want it in 009, tell us before this thursday... OCR idol will be mentioned in 009) A lot of this stuff is usually covered in the Rama Report and Rayza and I don't wanna step on Rama's toes too much (thought its not like he produces consistently :D)

Its probably something in your preferences... you can have iTunes automatically check the feed every hour to every week, and you can tell it to keep a certain history of episodes. Makes sure you have the "KEEP" option at more than just the last episode.....
Hopefully that helps if not, i'll look into it further.

Just thought I would mention that everytime you have a little clip segment, it replaces the actual podcast on iTunes. Everytime I go to hear the new episode, all that is there is a little tiny clip like the contest, and I can't go back to the show without going to the site to download it.
Its probably something in your preferences... you can have iTunes automatically check the feed every hour to every week, and you can tell it to keep a certain history of episodes. Makes sure you have the "KEEP" option at more than just the last episode.....
Hopefully that helps if not, i'll look into it further.
Ah yes, I clicked on a little blue triangle and all previous shows magically appeared. All is well.

I heard somebody talking about how Apple and other corporate giants are somehow marginalizing the independent folksy podcast...sources...like Podcast Alley...? Something about Apple pushing Podcast Alley off to the sidelines. Any word?

I haven't heard anything about that. Then again I don't keep up with podcast news really. Aurora would know more than I do but she's away for a bit until maybe Monday or so. We recorded the show last night, and there wasn't much to talk about really so it might be a little lame. 4 remixes though. And we cleared up the clip contest thing which you can check out at www.vgdj.net ..

Ok, I'm sure no-one is going to believe me here, but I was on holidays for two weeks, and didn't get the podcasts. I get back, here the clip contest, and, before hearing the answer, I actually did guess that it was Open Ending - one of my favourite mixes.
As I said, I'm sure no-one believes me, but I feel pretty impressed. Open Ending has some rather distinctive synthy sounds, and I can tell them from a half second clip.

Bah, it wasn't as bad as you guys thought. Yeah sure you get talking a bit at the end but it was funny. :) Good work!
P.S. The stinger was SO AWESOME. TOTALLY MADE THE SHOW.

"Yeah, I think it's pretty neato!" Aurora, can I keep you? :puppyeyes:
And good work- I wasn't bored! Definitely enjoy just listening to the two of you talk about random stuff. ^_^

anyone else thinks Arcana kinda sounds like one of those synthetic computer voices at times? 8O
kekekekeke. I'm just Joshin' yah, fella
Meanwhile, if you good folks at VGDJ don't have anything to talk about, how about snagging some stuff from people's personal sites and playing that? Hmmm? Hmmm? Stuff that might not be on VGDJ? Hmmm? Yes.
Edit: spelling, and an obligatory I <3 Ah-woo-wah

"I <3 Ah-woo-wah".. haha, I'm tempted to make that my new sig quote.
I don't know if I like your "play originals from people around the scene" idea.. It would make for good filler, yes, but wouldn't that time be better filled with selected tracks from remix competitions/projects?
[EDIT: btw wingless, your new sig is sweet]

I'm not talking about originals, I'm talking video games.

I think the show should keep it's focus on OCR music. After all, it's OCR's official podcast, not a community/scene podcast, and there's always enough material on OCR to comfortably fill up a show.
Aurora keeps mentioning something about "a-boat." Or maybe its a boot. :wink:
I liked the Rayza report.
That was some pretty awesome background music at 15:00.
Out of interest, is there already a community podcast? I might be interested in starting one up sometime if there's a need.

Yeah, it was a good show. The "lazy days" feel was prevalent, but it worked well, in fact.
DarkeSword, while your clip sounded too scripted for my taste, it had a distinct advantage over every other clip that I've heard on VGDJ (perhaps excepting Jivemaster's subsequent clip):
NO GOD DAMN BLAH BLAH BLAH. THANK YOU.
That is currently the show's greatest weakness, especially for attracting new people to the show and to OCR in general. Nobody wants to hear seven minutes of you defending your choices for the mix against criticism. Few people want very technical and comprehensive details about the production of your mix.
The clips from DarkeSword and Jivemaster were good role models, I think. They were concise, engaging, and say a lot of worthwhile stuff for the time they take to say it. Please, more clips like this. [/rant]
Anyway, I enjoyed the show despite your feeling that there was too little to talk about (or abowoot...sorry). Rayza, I liked your subtle hint at the end for Rama to start recording in a larger room with the door closed. I'm glad that you mentioned that DJP sent that one mix right on through past the judges--it's important to mention things like that, since they don't happen very often. You might want to mention Israfel's departure from the Judges Panel next time. Okay, that's all for now. Good work, I love you guys, keep on trucking.

Linearity makes a good point. Though Shariq's more recent clip did sound rather rehearsed, it was short and sweet. And yeah, most people aren't gonna care a lot about all the technical details. I didn't really think of it before because I enjoy the show despite the longer parts. But newcomers may not have the same patience or appreciation that some of us hardcore (<3 <3 <3) listeners have, cha know?

It all depends on where you come from though. Personally if it were a show all about remixing techniques and technical shit I'd be all ears, but of course no one else would care. So I think a little mix here and there is all good, as long as its short. For this show tycho gave me 9 minutes of him talking.. Obviously I'm not gonna play that so I just cut out the most relevant-ish stuff and played that instead..
