Am I the only person who prefers the sound of the early Geeknights episodes?

    What did you hear before that you liked? What do you hear now that you do not like?
  • ChurbaChurba
    I must admit, nowadays you can hear a quality difference between the show, and the end bumper.

    Do you also think vinyl sounds better than digital?

    Given that CD/Lossless encoding is more accurate than vinyl, couldn't you just make a filter box to add in the poorer sound and scratchyness to simplify things a bit?

    Yeah, I could swear I had a filter in cooledit for that.

    It's not a matter of preferring one to the other, it's a matter of thinking that vinyl is somehow higher quality than digital.

    It may have just reminded me of when I first started listening to podcasts. Little things spark my memory I suppose.

    Such as? Strange pitch, background noises, breathy sounds, large spikes in volume, etc?

    I actually could care less about the "audio" quality of a podcast as long as it's content is acceptable and there is not a glaring audio problem (like hearing the breathing or werid noises)
  • RymRym
    background noises
    I recall a period of several weeks where, as one of our listeners described, there were "robots arguing in the background."

    To be fair, their relationship had been in trouble for a long time. The Perils of housemates, I suppose.

    Yep, pretty much.

    What specific problems and in what episodes?

    What about those sounds do you find pleasurable?
  • Kate MonsterKate Monster
    I don't find any of them pleasurable and I haven't noticed any issues with the episodes. I was listing possible audio problems so that people could be specific and point to actual audio problems rather than nondescript panning of the audio with no constructive comments.

    Sometimes vinyl does sound better than digital, but it's because it's material that was originally produced on vinyl, then poorly transferred to CD. I'm sure some people miss the distinction.

    I think the audio quality has noticeably improved over time. Recently, I was listening to the various Zombie episodes and they improved to a great degree from one to the next.

    Probably the memories of enjoying the old episodes. I tend to associate memories with certain sounds, smells, tastes and what not.
