We'll have the audio up for you later this afternoon.

Compress the audio guys :)

Done that, just deciding where to put it!

Link only youtube or something? Dropbox or an audio host? depends on the compressed size :)

475.2 MB  ;)

I'm currently transcribing my share of it.

Still seems high... I'd expect about 200 to 50 depending on quality. If you're able to make it accessible to me, I can give compression a go? Size hinges on bitrate and algorithm so it can be hit and miss.

Or alternatively, I'll post what I'd do:
* MP3 or Ogg Vorbis algorithm
* Mono instead of Stereo, if in stereo (it's microphone chatter)
* 22 KHz sampling, it's voice anyway.
* 80 - 128kbps bitrate so it's not too uncomfortable to listen to for a while.

I just want to say there was some great questions asked last night. Thanks to everyone who came and asked them.
August 17, 2014, 06:32:14 PM #32
Can't reply to PM, but I'll have a look after work Adhira :)
August 17, 2014, 06:47:49 PM #33
Thanks Case!

Not eager to have people hear my nerdy, gender-ambiguous voice.... you can compress the audio by cutting me out entirely! :D

Oh good idea, mine too.
I am unable to respond to PMs sent on the GDB. If you want to send me something, please send it to my email.

Noooooo, you were the best part. Seriously you made me laugh so goddamn hard with one of your questions. Your voice is beautiful.


I, on the other hand, probably sounded nervous and socially awkward.

Not at all dude!

Alright, alright. ::disentangles from the circle-jerk::

Case, get your tech savvy behind out of work so that this shit can go up!

Hey, I'm not thrilled people gotta hear my shitty accent after I've had a sore throat :(
August 17, 2014, 08:20:35 PM #39
One of the many reasons I had Nyr ask my question: So people wouldn't make fun of my voice/accent.

It was really great hearing all the questions and staff's answers as well as thoughts. These sorts of behind the scenes Q&As, along with the podcasts from Sanvean and Nyr, have always been interesting!

I was incredibly drunk during the whole thing, question asking included.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

I'll probably get incredibly drunk when I hear my squeaky voice.

August 17, 2014, 08:48:48 PM #43
I wonder if that'll make it into the transcript.

Some dick flatmate is torrenting on Wireless G, so I've been struggling to upload the compressed audio.

She's not torrenting anymore. I control the internet bitch  8) Utility Holder  8)

I recommend a staffer grabs it and hosts it off Armageddon. I'll take it down once it's grabbed. I do have a higher quality one but it took me like, an hour to upload so, I'll only upload if it's necessary.

Thanks for getting that up there for us.

Case - I've grabbed a copy of the audio, thanks! I don't know where we will host it yet but I have the compressed version.

I might as well leave the link up until it's posted elsewhere. Soundcloud is annoyingly not an option because it's 30 mins over the allowed free account time. It'd be hard to find an audio host that'll do it for nothing, but a file host might do it for nothing (hence why I slapped it on Mega)
August 18, 2014, 03:58:43 AM #49
D'oh.  Now I see you posted the audio after I just read the whole thing.   :P  Some great questions, and some really great answers in there.  Glad you guys did this!  Wish I could have been logged in instead of moving furniture.

You know I think if James simply retitled his thread "Cheese" and apologized for his first post being off-topic, all problems would be solved.
