So what is it you're looking to find, and what do we need from you? To provide notes on things to fix before the main release. You are looking for:



Audio glitches
Bad levels (Too high or too low, keep in mind some things are intentionally distant or hard to hear. We've gone through and made sure certain audio levels are maintained, so some might be objective)
Post production problems (A breath was cut off mid-way and didn't sound right)
Pops or snaps (You have an audible glip in the audio that shouldn't be there)
Gaps or transitions between what might have been an episode end
Reverb cutting in or out in a scene.
Anything that sounds like a mistake.
IGNORE the Title stuff, we are in the process of re-recording the Title cards "We're Alive, Chapter 43, title, etc..."



Write down the TIME and description of what needs to be fixed!

Example:

5:15 - There's a click sound in the background, might not be intentional.
6:30 - "Get to the chopper" is a little loud.

That's it! When you're done, delete the audio file.

I recommend you SUBSCRIBE to the threads that you are responsible for. Meaning, you get an e-mail when there is an update.
AND PLEASE, only download the file once to save on bandwidth. The files are on a special server.

Hi Kc,

have done all the proof-listening I was assigned to. Files are gone now.
Been a blast to support the WA production with this small task - especially small compared to time and effort you have spent in order to get "We're Alive" alive. I hope my proof-listening was any kind of aid. Thank you for this great opportunity.

Best wishes!
Liam

Thanks everyone! And especially Gooer for organizing all this! It has really made things easier on us here, and even through the first version disaster we had.

Exporting now, but we can re-export as well, so if it is a mistake let us know and we'll check it out. We just don't have time to re-export it all.

Thanks again!

Good morning,

I have a question in favor of the participants of this proof-listening:
When we did this for season #3 all participants received the Lizzy-Award for having done so. I propose that all the proof-listeners of season#4, who do not have this Lizzy-Award of Listening, should get one as well. I know - this would mean that the ones who already have this award would not receive it a second time. But that would not matter in my eyes. (Althoug you could say that season #4 could earn each proof-listener a stand-alone "new" award; in that case I would propose to name it "Glenn-Award of Listening", 'cause he was the radio- and cable-guy of the survivors and thus the "ear-master" of things ...)

Best wishes!
Liam

I believe this is what Kc would be doing (once he gets time frim his hectic schedule), and is giving people who helped with season 3 (think you were the only one) a special award for doing both seasons.
