Title: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: Mr. Guy36 on February 16, 2012, 11:00:53 PM
Some explanation for the title: I'm thinking about all the lines that aren't actually reading the book, but instead are explanatory stuff and chapter headings and such.

I was thinking about this because we currently have 71 minutes of audio. A standard audio CD holds 74-80 minutes, so we now have what could be called Megamorphs 1, disc 1.
First of all, congrats.
Second, I wanna try to put together the first disc into a finished package, with an introduction, consistent chapters, all that stuff. So I need a few snippets from you peoples. I have an idea for an intro, which I'll do if nobody minds, but I need chapter headings.

I need anybody who narrates a chapter to submit one file with their character name and "Chapter n" for each chapter they narrate, so I can assemble the bits that go "Chapter 1. Jake." and so forth. Up to this point, I really only need up to 11, but do as much as you have time for, we're gonna need them later.

I figure the intro would go something like...

Sounds reasonable. So just to make sure we're clear, would we also read out the narrator's name? (Like would Jake read "Chapter 1: Jake" or just "Chapter 1"?)

The narrator's name too, but you only have to do it once. I can just cut it into every chapter.

Sounds good to me--I'll record some stuff tomorrow if we're all in agreement, I need to redo a line for Chapter 12.

Could we also do something like they do in the Redwall books when we're dong--have a "credits" section of who played who and who did what and whatnot?  (that used far too many "w" words.)  :P

Credits will go at the end. But we will have them.

Yeah, I assumed that'd be when we're finished.  Woohoo!  :D

I like this idea. I think it's a really good idea.

Great idea, guy. :)

Sounds great Guy, I'll try to record this soon (within a week). Its awesome that we have "disc 1" done. Great accomplishment so far everyone.

To anyone who has them done, I set up a place on the site to upload. It's under "Chapter 0"

Updates? Progress? Please?
Title: Re: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: Slushie Man on February 29, 2012, 08:20:22 PM
Sorry, had them done for ages, just realized I forgot to actually upload them to the site. They should be there now.

Post by: Mr. Guy36 on February 29, 2012, 10:00:44 PM
Sweet, got it.
Title: Re: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: AniDragon on February 29, 2012, 10:51:00 PM
Uploaded! Sorry about the wait. For some reason, every time something in this section updates, I'm at work, and by the time I get home I'll have forgotten about it. Whoops!

Does Ax need a book keeping line or is he the odd one out? =(
Title: Re: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: Mr. Guy36 on March 03, 2012, 12:57:01 PM
Apparently he doesn't narrate a single chapter. Sorta surprised me.

I'd say she was probably wanting to keep his inner personality as secret as possible until his own book came out after this.

Er... He did narrate a chapter, though. On the blade ship, with Visser Three, where he morphs a flee.

EDIT: Specifically chapters 15, 18, 28, 33, and 35. So a few chapters, actually.

...How did I miss this?

Thanks for noticing. 'Hruun, I'll set up a part for you.

I thought it was weird 'cause two people were supporting the fact that Ax had no chapters though I had already done of his chapters, chapter 15 it was, so I was midly confused. I thought you guys were thinking about something else entirely so I didn't bother to post this little confusing tidbit. xD

Alright, I'll get the intro recorded when I'm home this weekend. Once 'Hruun and Duff get their tags in, I'll put together something, see what I can manage.
Title: Re: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: Gankhruun on March 05, 2012, 04:24:06 AM
The tags should be done in a bit as I'm doing them now. I have a new microphone, albeit a cheap one, and comparing my previous recordings and new ones the sound is more cleaner and crisper and slightly acoustic though the noise is more obvious compared to the whistling of the iPhone. xD

[EDIT] Forget about the noise. Managed to reduce the noise to the point you wouldn't even notice it without affecting the audio at all. Same audio but noise reduced dramatically. Mine is up.

Something up Mr. Guy or are we still waiting on Duff? =O

Time to send another text? =P Or in the mean time focus on the other chapters while we're still waiting on Duff to submit his booking line.

Chapter 13 is waiting on Slushie and Duff
Title: Re: Bookkeeping lines
Post by: Gankhruun on March 16, 2012, 05:58:28 AM
Oh....skip chapter 13 and do chapter 14? Lol, I'm just throwing out ideas here. xD
