Brandon Strader Posted August 11, 2011 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? Quote

We haven't been mixing down audacity recordings since episode 30 something. Quote
Level 99 Posted August 11, 2011 Author 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
Brandon Strader Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Man if you wouldn't have said anythign I never would have noticed the double post! I read the post... and I guess when there's 2 of the same thing next to each other you don't notice the second one. Anyway that sounds cool. Hope it goes well for you guys. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted August 12, 2011 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
Level 99 Posted August 12, 2011 Author 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!

KyleJCrb Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I will try to be there, but we'll see how soon I'll get NGI wrapped up. Quote
JH Sounds Posted August 12, 2011 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

Arek the Absolute Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 but... but where will i shout random obscenities at magfest now that this is live? aka u stil doin recorded show at mag? Quote
sephfire Posted August 13, 2011 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
Sir_Downunder Posted August 13, 2011 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! Edited August 13, 2011 by Sir_Downunder Quote
KyleJCrb Posted August 15, 2011 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
JH Sounds Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Best thing about the live format is that the episodes are no longer 8 hours long. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted August 15, 2011 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
Level 99 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Episode 66 - Insert Disc into Slot Sephfire was on our first live episode. Hear about whats going on with Extra Credits right now and how hard he resists telling us the size of his penis! Quote

Level 99 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Episode 67 - Impressive Faux-Hitler Stevo, David, Deven, and Val fill the timegaps between songs and the massively awesome interview with Jamie and Ruben of Emulation Collective, the folks behind virtualnes and virtualsupernes AND virtualgbx. Check out the show and listen to figure out how to win a Nintendo 3DS from Emulation Collective! Quote
Level 99 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 Due to the weather possibly interfering with my flight back from PAX Prime, OCAD will NOT be airing this week on 8bitx. It will resume normal schedule time next Sunday at 8 PM EST. Sorry, folks! Quote
