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!

PS: I may not post this on the normal news feeds so that active forum members can have first dibs.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Celestion DL8 series Two for classic and voice
Polk audio Monitor Series for Rock n Roll

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.
