January UPDATE! Remastering and Burt Book.

[Kc]

Ok, so HELLO! Here's a really quick update. We have to get everything remastered and done by the 15th of Feb for our April 1st release date. (Not an April Fools Prank)

So, we're looking for a few moderators and such to assist in the proofing on the remasters. We did this last time where people sign up for certain chapters to listen to and make sure there are no mistakes in the remaster.

I'm looking for volunteers who will be able to listen to it fairly quickly and provide notes for any audio glitches, bad levels, or post production problems. I prefer listeners to have decent speakers so they can hear the full spectrum of sound, not really headsets as the range on those is limited.

After completion of the task, the QC person would be required to delete the sound files.

Anyone willing or available? We can have a maximum of 3* per chapter. So sign up below. Be sure that your e-mail on your account is accurate as we will be sending the links to the files via wetransfer to the ones tied to your username. Don't post them here as people could spam ya. It sucks, but it happens.

Next update! The book is going great! Taking a bit more time and work on it but we hope to have it done and out by June. Could be a lot sooner, but I'd rather have it perfect than not.

That's it for now. Some other stuff going on in the background that will be GREAT, but that's for another day. Take care forum peeps!

EDIT: Moderators are permitted to edit this post to put names into the chapters. Thanks!

I highly doubt my speakers would cut it:

Logitec X-240

Specifications
• Total RMS power: 25 watts RMS
Satellites: 10 watts RMS (5W x 2)
Subwoofer: 15 watts RMS
• Total peak power: 50 watts
• Frequency response: 40Hz - 20kHz
• Drivers:
Satellites: 2" high-excursion driver
Subwoofer: 4" ported driver

They'll do :)

[Duffusmonkey]

Crap I would but if headphones don't count all I have are used car speakers powered by a homemade amp... MIGHT not be high fidelity enough.


BUT I have a model of the millenium falcon hanging over my desk :)
I painted it myself

Just tell me what to do boss.

I painted it myself Perhaps I'll just say we prefer speakers, but headsets could qualify. If we do that we'll try and pair a chapter listened on speakers and a headset maybe. We'll keep you in the running.

[LiamKerrington]

Hi there,

Awesome. I'd like to give it a shot. I have a Onkyo Dolby Surround Pro-Logic Audio-Video-Control-Receiver (model: TX SV 454), and to it I connected a 5+1 JBL speaker-system. I think that should qualify, right? The technical mambo jambo with watts and frequencies I cannot provide you, 'cause I am just not into it ... Since I enjoy listening to the full sound-scope of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and since my devices do a decent job on it, I'd say: they should be just good enough, although they are kind of "outdated" (about 15 years of age ...).

All the best!
Liam

[Duffusmonkey]

I am rocking a RAZER CHIMAERA wireless headset.

I can listen to We're Alive from the kitchen to the crapper

[Kc]

Looks like we got 3 so far. Any more?

[turbo]

I'll sign up. I've got some good speakers at my studio.

[FattyBrent]

I've got a 2.1 system along with Protools LE 8 (a bit old, I know) but I'd love to help out. Thanks!

[Kc]

Awesome. You don't need Pro Tools, just the ability to play mp3s

Ok, I'm still into helping none the less. When do you think we'll get the files if we are selected to help?

[reaper239]

i have a surround sound set up i can use, and some high quality sony mixing headphones. assign me a chapter and i'll give it a wirl on both. and cut in some ahnold yelling GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!!!! nooooooo, i won't do that. prolly.

[Deacon_Tyler]

[Kc]

Me!!! Me!!! Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
You have decent speakers/headsets?

[f1r3spray]

I have a 7.1 set up that i can use (astro a40s) as well as a decent 2.1 setup in the living room.

[MOVIELORD101]

Count me in! I'd love to assist with this!

Ok, so that's 2 more, total of 9. We need 3 more. The plan is to give each person 2 chapters each. More than that might dilute the attention.

[buzzbros2002]

Studio quality headset and some speakers as well. It's the same stuff I use when mixing Foley so it should be good, yeah? If I don't get to be a zombie intern, this would be just as good.

Sweet, you're in. The zombie interns haven't been decided yet. We're still receiving applications. We'll be making our decisions after Season 3 remasters are done.

[Nathan.Luiz]

I'd be up for this. I have decent speakers (Can't be bothered to find out all the specifications, but they're only a couple of years old and still in good condition)

[buzzbros2002]

I'll also sub check it in the car if its one of the louder explody sections.

[Cabbage Patch]

I'd like to help! I have a high quality sound system, great headphones, etc., which is odd since I only ever listen to music or podcasts using car sound systems, computer speakers and earbuds. Please sign me up if you still need help.

[Kc]

HI count me in I would love to. that is if you think my kindle fire vs is good enough to listen to it on?

You mean the Kindle fire speaker? Or just the thing that's playing it? If just the kindle fire speaker, that won't be enough.

[Kc]

The list has been updated. I'm starting to output our remastered tracks now. I'll keep you posted, but they should be ready within a day or so.

[oboecop]

KC I'd love to help. Saw the solicitation on FB. Love the show and would be happy to contribute. I also only have a HP laptop, with beats audio, for whatever that is worth to you

[Drogon Malice]

KC, i think i love you mate! can't believe my name got put on the list! TWICE!

*falls over and twitches*

[Kc]

What sort of speakers? Just stock ones in the laptop?

Everyone gets two chapters. And if people get done early I can give more too as well.

[Grandblaster]

I would love to get on board, I have a B&O surround system in the car where I listen to all the We're Alive episodes !

[StepLaugh]

Glad to help. Thanks KC!

[Kc]

I guess that will work, but you'd have to be in the car for two hours and take notes, it might not be the best option.

[Grandblaster]

True, two hours in the car not a problem, most of my trips are over two hours, taking notes would be a little harder! although I do have a decent system at home so could give it some more time there. Just keen to repay you guys for the hours of entertainment you have given me.

[wpgmaverick]

Sign me up KC, you'll need a canadian perspective....

You have good speakers, yes?

[mommytempa]

I meant the kindle fire hd it has Dolby speakers

[mommytempa]

I meant the kindle fire hd it has Dolby speakers

Or I could use my pc with surround sound speakers

[Kc]

Or I could use my pc with surround sound speakers

That would be preferable. The Dolby might be ok, but I don't think the frequency range or wattage would match your other speakers. Ok, you're on the list. :)

[Deacon_Tyler]

Fantastic! I have amazing speakers as well and am always glad to help

[SpYdEr]

I am interested in helping out! Love the podcast and willing to provide any assistance needed!

[Osiris]

Canada crew represent.

I'll have a sticky note with further instructions.

[itsallgoodie]

I only have a decent pair of sony headphones, but I'll hop on a chapter if you need me. I don't care which so just throw one my way if you need an extra set of ears.

Can do. We'll throw you in there.

[Osiris]

Creem_Filling should be doing this.

We have 1 or 2 spots left.

[oboecop]

What sort of speakers? Just stock ones in the laptop?

Yes sir, stock speakers but I too also have a very solid pair of headphones to listen through. I use them on my own podcast. Just let me know.

Good headsets? Alright we can throw you into the mix.

[reaper239]

so how do we go about getting the remasters? i checked the remaster section out but i didn't see download instructions. are they not up yet, is it right in front of me, do i need to learn how to open my eyes?

[LiamKerrington]

You receive a personal e-mail by Kc; in it you will find the download-link to the file. I think Kc is not going to upload ALL remastered files at the same time; I guess it's more like waves - like first three or four episodes, then the next ones etc.

And the "how to" you'll probably have already noticed here: http://www.zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?4051-How-to-QC!-What-we-need-you-to-do .

All the best!

Right on. I'll keep my eye on the master list to see if I make the cut. The headphones are Sennheiser, btw

Congrats on making the cut dude(tte)!

[Duffusmonkey]

I a going to have to listen to the chapters several time, I haven't listened chapter 26 in a while and I got caught up in the story again :)

[Osiris]

I a going to have to listen to the chapters several time, I haven't listened chapter 26 in a while and I got caught up in the story again :)

Tell me about it! I totally got lost listening to 31 again. It went through it two times before I finally stopped listening to Jenna's performance and started listening to the rest of the episode!

[Grognaurd]

I am sure this is long done, but I will post early for Season 4 or whatever

Adcom gtp 450 preAmp
Adcom GFA 545 Amp
Celestion DL8 series Two for classic and voice
Polk audio Monitor Series for Rock n Roll
Miller & Kriesel vx4 sub woofer

If I need more of a surround system, I can swap to a Carver Sonic Holography preamp and second or third high quality amplifier and multiple speakers.

I know how to read, too! If you need help with the book.

[Deacon_Tyler]

You know I'm in, brother! I've got a great Logitech 5.1 THX certified system on my pc
