Now, I understand that you would like to improve your solo casting so my gripe is not really so much about your quality as a caster but it is in the sound quality. I had to use my speakers because when I had my headphones on I heard all the little popping 'P' sounds from the microphone and also hear the crackling of saliva in your mouth. Usually your producer for something like the Day9 party or even with MLG handles that with you but now you're on your own. Get a wind screen for your mic if don't already have one and move it a wee bit further away from your face.
I'm wicked nit-picky about these kind of things and know that I'm more than likely in the minority. Just wanted to give my two cents, since this is kind of a learning experience for you.
Again, I can't echo enough how much I appreciate what you help do for e-sports and all the free entertainment you provide.
Oh wow thats terrible about being able to hear that. Which episode was this in? I'll work on fine-tuning that for sure as its unacceptable and disgusting! lol
The third one I believe. I just noticed it because I had my headphones on for it so I figured I should point it out. I'll have to go back and check on the others after I'm done work for the day.

These are great, thanks. I prefer them to VODs.
|
Feel free to suggest some replays! ;p

Just saw ep4, is it just me or are the audiocasts a bit quiet? I had to turn down in game sound while maxing out the audiocast sound.
|
yay RWAs!
Imo youtube is good when you are on a computer without sc2, but if you are on one there is no reason to not watch a replay!

JP,
I'm not sure what your goal is with these audio replays. In my perspective, there's two types of VOD's. The first is the entertainment type, like watching a sports game. The other is the instructional and informational type, which aims to dig and recover some deeper meanings and builds from replays. To me it actually sounds like you're leaning towards the entertainment kind, and herein lies the problem. The most popular casters for SC2 (HD, Husky, Day9) all appear to be thoroughly enjoying those replays, and viewers can share that with the casting. In order to be truly entertaining, you need more personality in your casts. To be frank, your casting is currently very monotone and you overuse the phrase "x is gonna go ahead and do this. go ahead and get away, etc". Everyone likes listening to tasteless because there aren't many dull moments with him, he's always vibrant, funny, and clear. If you're aiming to entertain you have to let loose, JP. With that said I think it's a good concept and I hope to see you improve.

Hey wait a minute, I enjoy these a lot. It's like analytically watching a replay, except I've got somebody next to me sharing his thoughts. I don't need shouting and over the top excitement to enjoy a caster...
edit: and it's much better that JP knows what he's talking about, unlike casters who get all excited yet haven't the faintest clue what they're talking about
|
I think these casts are great, especially after playing on ladder and having noone to discuss strategy with.
keep em coming
|
I like these a lot, JP, they are thoroughly awesome!
I really like being able to control the replay myself and view whatever part of the map I want to, while still having the commentary going. Whenever I watch a cast of a match, I always look at the minimap and go "man, I really want to click on that spot!" but this totally solves that problem.
I would consider replay round-up more convenient than watching a cast, for the reason stated above as well.
Keep 'em coming is right, so do it!

JP, my question to you:
Are you watching on faster? I have been syncing it with you on faster, and for some reason yours seems to go 5% faster than mine or something. Over time you get way ahead of me, and I have to burst faster x2 or even x4 until i catch up to what you last saw. Is there something different between our clients?

I'm not really sure why the lack of synchronization is occurring. I'll try to do more timestamps throughout the cast and maybe it'll iron out. It might be the compression or something too -- I'm not sure really hah

great replays/casting ONCE AGAIN!!!
Keep it up JP!

Probably not the best thread to post this in but I just found it funny that my game crashes as I'm about to win a ZvT

It's Battle.net 2.0 I think. Often times one's client (yours or JP's) will stutter and I think that'll cause some time difference? I dunno that's my guess because I get these lag spikes every so often myself.

I listened to the first one and didn't mind it, and I don't even have sc2.,...
Someone should make an app to manipulate winamp/media player within sc2 for these
|
I like them, thanks JP. Any chance you could put really faint in-game sounds in as well?
|
I know a few people have asked for it but please don't put in game sounds. Your voice + sc2 sounds provides a clear crisp audio track. And I don't want to turn off game sounds because then it matters more how well we sync your audio track.
