Brandon Strader Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 How will being a live show affect the editing and overall sound of the show? If you guys aren't recording into audacity and then mixing that together... is it gonna sound all internet bandwidthy or will it be ok?

We haven't been mixing down audacity recordings since episode 30 something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 The live stream is capped at 96kbps, and that's that. So the live shows may sound a little internet-y, but I will also be recording everything on my end as one stream (voices plus musics), so it will all just be a WAV render of the direct out to the stream before it gets stream compressed when we post the actual episodes. Trust me, I got this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleJCrb Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Live stream capped at 96kbps? Man, that is a shame. We really need to get that Arecibo/8bx alliance going, because Arecibo has a 128k stream with support for 10,000 listeners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Oh yes, I should probably say this explicitly now that the cat is out of the bag: OverClocked After Dark has packed its bags of its independent nature and joined the wonderful umbrella of the 8bitX radio network. OverClocked After Dark will now be airing WEEKLY, Sunday nights from 8pm to 10pm EST, so you can listen to it live and chime in as we go through the week's mixes and ramblings. We will still be having guests on the show, and be doing fanfic readings. For those who may be wondering why we're doing this, its for a couple of reasons: 1) It is taking a lot of the editing pressure off. Each episode requires an average of 8-10 hours of time to proof and edit, which explains the long time between episodes these days (the show's editor [moi] has been running low on time). This will ensure that each episode is smoother, more frequent, and forced low production time. 2) It is increasing our interaction with our fans. 3) It is giving us a chance to contribute to a great radio group, and will help facilitate more and better convention appearances in the future. 4) It is giving us an alternative hosting method and allowing us to integrate our forums with theirs so the population can basically double. 5) It is resolving a number of other issues that nobody probably cares about besides me. So there you have it. Tune in THIS Sunday for the first episode of the new format. More like than not, we will be having Sephfire from Extra Credits come on and chat it up with us. See you then!

JH Sounds Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I remember when you did the live anniversary show and I thought "Wow, OCAD could totally be a live show if they wanted". I'm glad to see that this has finally happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephfire Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Halfway through episode 64 and I'm kinda digging the way each remix starts playing while you guys announce the song. I know it was probably an editing hiccup, but you should totally keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Awesome to see that OCAD is becoming a live show. However, considering my time zone is 14 hours ahead, it'd start 10 am the following morning... ... Oh well, guess I'll just set my alarm!

KyleJCrb Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 OCAD is totally killing 8bitX's minimal 15 listener cap, so here's a mirror if you can't get in: http://www.kngi.org/NGI/arecibo.pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Best thing about the live format is that the episodes are no longer 8 hours long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I concurr. But they should release one mega 20 hour episode of the stuff Stevo is behind on editing The next step for OCAD is to become a live video podcast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
