Apologies if Randy’s voice seems a little (or a lot) louder than the rest of us. I’m not really sure how or why that happened; Randy’s volume sounded fine when we were recording it. The deadline we set for getting this out didn’t give me a lot of room to fix it (we only recorded this early Sunday morning), but I do have a fix in mind for episode three, so this will hopefully be the last time Shamus sounds really quiet and Randy really loud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The setup needed to pull this off is insane. Josh runs two computers. He has his gaming PC, which is doing three things:<\/p>\n
1) Playing the game
\n2) Recording via FRAPS
\n3) Broadcasting via livestream, so that Randy and I can watch.<\/p>\n
It’s a good thing he’s got a solid machine, because all three of these are incredibly intensive operations. He also has a laptop, which is in voice chat with Randy and I which at the same time recording our chat session. <\/p>\n
Josh must wear two sets of headphones. One for the game, one for chat. Randy and I view the game on a three-second time delay, which is why we might seem a little slow at times.<\/p>\n
Once we’re done, Josh takes the FRAPS recording and mixes it with the Vent recording to make our final product.<\/p>\n
So, sorry the sound levels are wonky. We’ll get better at this as we go.<\/p>\n

In response to feedback from part 1, we’ve shortened the episode to 30 minutes. We’re still learning as we go and playing with the format. I think our goal is to publish two 30 minute sessions a week.
