Yes, We Do Know About the Audio Problems
Friday, March 20, 2009 at 02:00PM Hello everyone! This is the inaugural post on what will become The Darwin Finches homepage. First of all, we would like to thank everyone who has given us support from the cartoons we've posted so far, we appreciate your encouragement. We will continually strive to keep the cartoons coming out as consistently as we can, our goal for the present is about one cartoon a week.
The Darwin Finches are still very much a work in progress, and we appreciate all of your constructive criticism on what we can do to improve the quality of our cartoons. Speaking of quality, as the title states, we do in fact know about the audio problems which plague our work. If you check the progression of the cartoons, you should notice some slight improvements in the sound quality as we tweaked around with things. For the latest Berlinski video, we thought we had ironed out all of these problems. We used a better area for our recording, we worked hard on the mixing, and what was on our computer sounded perfectly mixed between the source material and our own snide commentary. Then we loaded it into YouTube to find out that it sounded like he was whispering, and we recorded our voices in a subway station men's room with the microphones inside of our mouths. Hopefully next time around we'll have those issues straightened out.
If there had to be an audio problem I'm glad it turned out in our favor instead of in his. Having listened to that pretentious asshole spouting off arguments from authority and an insane cow to whale "quantitative analysis" once was bad enough, to subject others to that would count as torture in my eyes. The worst part of this whole thing is watching and re-watching the drivel that comes out of these morons mouths, and listening to it again and again as we record and write jokes over it. Logical fallacies, pseudo-science, and general idiocy abound so much in these videos that during the writing process it can get hard to decide what to make fun of and what there just isn't time for.
