Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Important Notice For All List Members
Hi Shaun,
Regarding podcasts etc we can discuss that once the new website is up
and running. However, if we are going to do it we need a decent show
host to do the podcast. Not everyone is necessarily qualified for that
position and as with any kind of public media it takes the right kind
of person to do it properly not to mention the right kind of equipment
etc.
For example, I have listened to a number of amateur podcasts where the
person throws in a number of "oh" and "um" and "uh" every few minutes
which is absolutely irritating. All of that can be edited out of
course, but few amateur podcasters take the time to get a nice
professional cast by editing out all the extra garbage. So if we went
with a podcast I would hope we could find plenty of people willing to
do editing and post production to get a high quality and professional
cast rather than something produced by someone's $10.00 PC microphone
and a sound recording program.
Cheers!

on the note of change though this may disadvantage a relitive few, I
want to put foreward the thought about putting audyssey mag to be in
a podcast form of a sort.
There are several reasons.
firstly we have 1 central editor, ron doing everything.
That was fine with a central editer with disks and even in the early
days of the net but as I found myself offline life and other junk in
general gets me to not be able to complete all things I wanted.
unless I focus on it soly for example yesterday I took down the
entire network for a virus scan and image backup.
I killed several viruses in the backup drives and imaged 2 units but
it took roughly 24 hours to do it and I didn't do anything in fact
most of it was done while I was sleeping.
Another point.
why bother about audyssey.org at all, we have the audiogames forum
for just about everything.
I respected the mag, it was good.
when mike fair did it, but most of the goodness was before the net.
in the year 1995 that changed slowly but surely.
Sadly not to many articles come out .
The magazine is prity much crap and junk and stupid now.
I stress that its crappyness is not its fault, its just its not been
upgraded in ages probably since it came online.
A lot of news is in the forum more update sometimes than the news the
devs send and they hardly send anything out these days its all slowed
down.
Even the opensource hackers have slowed. its not as good as it was
pickings are slim, etc.
We probably should upgrade it to some sort of cast on different
reviews including game demos and playthroughs etc, I can't do
everything but thanks to a little dosh required to get my system to a
level where I can broadcast off it to tbrn on a cohosting role I have
a adaquit microphone setup, ofcause I can't record game reviews and
recordings at the same time without it sounding from an outside
pospective but still,it could be something to do.
I realise that not everyone will a appreciate this especially those
on dialup but I feel that a sofficient number of people are on
broadband sertainly enough to justify the upgrade.
On the other hand stopping audyssey and switching it back to google
groups and not having the mag is fine.
If text is still what people want the only other way to do it is
reduce the format, there used to be a letters sections a reviews
section, a dnd section sometimes an imortal gamer section and a dev
news section.
The game adventure stuff with the imortal gamer and or game rescue
unit really grabs me so if thats left in fine.
the letters are most emails from the list so should go.
the dev news should go unless devs want to post their junk at the mag.
the dnd section should stay.
reviews and casts are on the forums but I guess some for stuff not
reviewed before can go there.
the articles can stay to.
Also I think that 1. either we have a shorter publication time to
publish or just pile everything in every 6 months or something.
I can't even remember the last issue I think I glanced over the last
few without much interest.
the first 20-30 were the best but with the net thats prity
much moved focus of tech and junk away from the old text mag.
The other thing is, how much is actually out there.
most of it we know bar vary few things that are not coman.
