    You forgot the part where you then went out of your way to say you didn't like it, without any attempt at qualification or constructive criticism. That is a shitty thing to say.

     

    haha constructive criticism? I doubt PFT is scouring the forums for advice. I think him and everyone on the show are great talents but i just can't get with the long form, i'm more partial to the conversational/short form aspects.

     

    it seemed fairly innocuous to me, but i'll be sure to run all posts by you first from here on out :)

    Happy Hooray Show Wednesday Kidz!

     

    Yes, UCB Sunset is wonky. We've addressed that issue on episode 7 "Jes Suis UCB" and elsewhere. If you have never been there, there is what I refer to as a giant moat between the stage and the audience. It's a newish venue and everyone has kind of figured that out at this point, and I trust it will be addressed. Also, the positioning of the audience mic(s) was probably not ideal, but I don't know what the solution is in that space other than setting up 4-8 audience mics to get a better sound.

     

    I am pretty proud of the mix on this show in spite of all of that. The recording I was given was a single stereo file with the stage panned hard left and the audience panned hard right, which I then converted to 2 mono channels and mixed. Finding the right balance of bleed from the audience, natural echo and balancing the performers was actually a lot more difficult than I anticipated.

     

    I assure you the audience was laughing, although it is very hard to hear the laughs even when you are on stage. Keep in mind that a lot of times the audience is laughing you are not hearing it because Horatio or someone else is laughing directly into a hot mic.

     

    Inside baseball for this episode: All of the needledrops you hear were added in post. There was no music in the house during the live recording.

     

     

    oh no i've heard complaints from other podcasts about the venue as well, not trying to criticize the production/mixing at all.

    In fact i find all the production elements to the show really great alternatives to the conventional format. (i.e. Hector's Dispensary)
