Busy busy busy

There are a total of five bonus episodes that are just sitting here on my hard drive ready to roll out and hit the feed. But due to my massive procrastination (which will be discussed at length in one of those bonus content episodes) I haven’t done much work until the last couple of days.

There is a small problem with the feed on iTunes. Only the last two episodes are available. I chalk that up to very shitty service from the free file hosting servers I was using. I’ve recently discovered Mediafire. And as long as the file is not over 100Mb they have no problem. Infinite file space and bandwidth. It seems to be working well so far and I think you should check it out for your own file hosting needs. It is what I’ll be using in the future for any file hosting need I have. Well at least until I have the cash to register a domain and have my own place to upload files there.

So after I re upload all the fun things from season one and two and relink them on the blog so they show up in the feed I can then finally add all the bonus content that was supposed to hit the feed days ago (some of it as far back as a few weeks ago).

I’ve been doing a lot of work in the last few days. I have the intro and outro all recorded for the show and the songs from both of those will hit the feed as bonus content later in the week. I have the guys assembling tomorrow to record the season three promo. And we should be sitting down to record the show on Thursday.

I’m going to have to give props to a personal friend of mine Dolla J. Who just happens to be the new sound technician for Banter Over a Cigarette and any other audio endeavors I may take on. I got everything put together for the season three intro and he went through and spent hours cleaning up every buzz, hum, click, and weird noise so that it sounds super sweet. I’m really proud of this seasons intro. All the preproduction such as the recording and putting together and timing of all the audio was me. And all of the cleaning up and polishing and adjustment of audio levels was all him. He is a fucking surgeon behind the mixer board and I’m glad to have his expert experience. He’s going to be the chief editor and sound technician for any novels I record in the future.

I’m going to be spending the rest of my time online tonight uploading all the files to that file server and then spend tomorrow recording a promo and then going through the blog and relinking all of the stuff that needs to be relinked so that it goes into the feed. I can’t upload the new shit and then go and relink the old stuff because then the new stuff will be buried by the old stuff and the feed will be out of order, so I have to go through and relink all of the old stuff in the exact order that it was posted so it all shows up in the feed in order. Or at least I hope. I’ve got a lot of work that needs to be done before the show can launch and I’m determined to get it all done on time.
