    I think I saw this and man, it looks even worse. But despite being the worst grimmick ever in pro wrestling history I wouldn't be surprise to see a stop motion video of this tripping over stuff and losing his helmet. Now that would be funny to see.

    so basically Shockmaster was nothing more than a Homo that made his helmet out of a Stormtrooper helmet and covered it in glitter thereby turning himself into a glorified Disco Ball?

    wow the 90's were horrible, thank god they are over and WCW is dead.

    I also did not know who Shockmaster was, and now endowed with the information I feel none the richer.

    But a little dirtier, which is fun.

    it's true...ROTF Leader prime is annoying because he never shuts up...
    but recently "My" Premium Leader Megatron has been decided to go off random-ly in the middle of the night
    (only in vehicle mode)
    ...scared the shit out of me...lol (damn screeching noise)

    and thus he will stay in robot mode!!!

    V, for serious, we were promised that you figured out your screw-up with the volume. You like... took it up a notch or two (no bam) last week, but did you forget and take it back down this week?

    My volume settings for TV show encodes:
    [​IMG]


    My volume settings for podcast encodes:
    [​IMG]

    Even with both sliders maxed, I still have to press the headphones against my ears to hear Aaron and omegus.

    Do you know where the control is to normalize audio files, post-production? Can you crank that from 2 to about 5 or 6?


    o rly? A sentai fan calls TF:TM campy? I :lol 'd


    :eek:  New outro FTW! Welcome to the official start of Year Two!

    All it took was one little look at the pic of the Shockmaster, and I was happy all day.

    Thank you.

    The volume is fucked up again?!

    Was it the m4a or the mp3? Why did nobody say anything until DeeJay? >.<

    Basically there is a switch in Garageband called "Auto-Normalize Volume" that fucks everything up, and I thought I'd turned it off after I swapped to my new macbook.

    There is no simple "durr turn it to 2 or 5" thing that I apply afterwards, the entire time I edit, the sound is riding the top of the waveform as I hand-edit all the volume and EQ on each individual track. When that switch is on, it somehow fucks that up in encoding and crunches everything down to 50% in order to 'normalize'.

    Okay, I'm really sure it's something on your end if Aaron and Omegus in particular were hard to hear on headphones. I'm listening through both files and they're the loudest guys on my speakers (set for general audio between the internet and videos).

    And the mp3's waveform is:
    [​IMG]

    If I made it any louder in editing, the high mids might start crackling at times and it would sound atrocious. Check the EQ settings on your audio player, maybe there's something goofed in there.

    For me it's not that one person or the other isn't loud enough the total volume is low. I tend to have my iPod turned all the way up. Maybe try editing the show as you would and then using that MP3 Gain thing to change the level to 80 or 90 and see if that makes the pops and cracks you're concerned with.

    The other problem is that I need to have this all done in Garageband, or the MP3 version will be different from the M4A version.

    MP3Gain often seemed to cause more problems unless I personally went in and raised individual superquiet MP3s, and while I do a ton of editing I don't want to be editing the individual MP3s two or three times, then editing them again in Garageband, then editing the M4A and MP3 afterwards. Doing it all in Garageband and making sure people were peaking makes more sense to me.

    Everything always sounds awesome on my end when I'm in Garageband, I can assure you guys that I'm not some kind of idiot that goes HURR DURR THERE ARE SOUNDS IT IS READY. I don't listen through the entire MP3 and M4A because at the point of their creation, I've already listened to the podcast 1-2 times over the course of editing.

    So please, please tell me if volume issues happen. As far as I know, everything sounds excellent on headphones. I do get fucked off if it turns out otherwise because I spend hours editing a given episode, so I need to know if there are problems.
