And to top off the zaibatsu's incompetence, we have a podcast video with no actual podcast uploaded yet.

They really need to get their poo poo together or something, a dedicated work place would do wonders. Maybe a dude video producer dude

I think an office was what the Vessel deal was for, and I think trying to get one was responsible for that one podcast where Matt couldn't make it because of IRL crime times. Don't think they've said anything on it since.

A dedicated producer/tech guy would take a lot of stress out of their lives, but then we would actually get a halfway professional production, and that's not what SBFP was built on.

Turns out that when Clint Eastwood talked to an empty chair at the RNC he was actually talking to his Stand, 「I AM... I SAID」

I dunno, Game Grumps have had several dedicated editors and that show is still a trainwreck so I wouldn't doubt the best friends.

Dedicated editors would be nice but I think right now getting an office is their goal, so we'll have to wait until they give up on that before seeing them talk about maybe getting ready to hire video editors.

It wouldn't even be that vintage, remember that hundred-man podcast they posted from some con, the one that seriously sounded like they were recording in a bathroom the room over from where the conversation was taking place? That was probably the worst "professional" podcast I've ever heard.

If they absolutely need to put out a podcast every week but can't/don't want to use a secondary recording device, maybe they should record a few episodes of them answering generic, non-dated email questions and bank them for the next time they gently caress something up. It's gotta be better than rehashing 2+ hours of conversation or whatever they're doing now.

that podcast was also really loving good though.

I was tempted to go with that (since he was arguably talking to himself) but I went with the Neil Diamond song that allegedly inspired his uh..."performance art" if you will. :v:

That Audacity is fine for their purposes. It's a simple two-track editing process and minimal cuts rendered in .mp3, I doubt Woolie even does any post-processing. Just because it's freeware it doesn't mean it's poo poo.

No, the fact that it keeps letting them down on both the podcasts and their LP's is what makes it not fine for their purposes.

The LP is a capture card issue as far as I'm aware, not a software one. The podcast, well, did this happen before? I never found Audacity to be especially unstable (in the same vein, Audition fuckin' crashed on me all the time when I worked exclusively with it back in college), so they could try new software, but it's not just a "lol jank freeware crap" issue.

They had to rerecord podcasts multiple times, also have bad habits of never doing mic checks which led to water episodes.

This sounds like a PC/mixer issue, or a "I forgot to press record" issue, hehe. Like, I say this because we incentivized people to use open-source poo poo in college, so every single little audio project we tried to record on Audacity, I kinda grew to respect it because although it's ugly as sin it never let me down ever. Really, when it comes to audio recordings, most fuckups are on the hardware/user side, not software.

I get what you're saying but I think you're overestimating how many of their issues are directly down to software/hardware fuckups and not just them being sloppy.

Yeah those people are morons. Audacity is great for projects like that. I've used it to edit and master tracks for my band, it's great for podcast work, etc. It does have its limitations though, because FOSS. And yeah, it looks like arse because FOSS. Guess what, it doesn't matter, it's functional as gently caress. The sad fact of the matter is that some people are just attracted to the shiny expensive thing because it must be better, right? Hence Apple all "luxury" cream skimming products/brands.

My original point was that considering that they've had multiple issues using it (even if it is down to them being cack-handed/lazy/idiots/something in their HW set up/whatever) should indicate that maybe it's time for them to try something else? Not saying they need to run to Adobe (gently caress those cunts right in their cock-eye) or whatever.

Oh, yeah, maybe they could give something else a whirl, but I dont think it's a software issue because it usually isn't - in fact, whenever this happens it's either user error, a system freeze/too many resources being used or USB bandwidth fuckups. If they have easy access to another software it's not a bad idea.

From Woolie's Twitter it sounds like it's either 2 or 3, if it wasn't clear it's probably 3.
