Show #36 up now!

Well, show #36 is up folks. Get ready for the first adventure of the crew of the U.S.S. Aurora! :archer

This podcast should generate some comments. A long time ago, in a basement far, far away, an audio show was created about the crew of the Starship Aurora! This was before .mp3 files, PC's, CD's, or any Next Gen Trek show! A group of friends and myself created our own Trek adventures with the help of my trusty cassette recorder. The audio quality of these is not great but we had a blast doing them. My podcast this week replay's our first adventure for the whole big Internet to hear. Oh god, what have I done?! ;)

I thought it was cute, especially the use of sound cues recorded from television.

Hey Rico.. love the mid week shows. This one was really fun. It was like listening to an old time radio program.

Rico · March 23, 2006, 02:06:18 PM

Thanks! We had a lot of fun doing those shows. I'll talk more about the process on this weekend's podcast.

spock · March 24, 2006, 07:40:33 PM

Now I have downloaded it...now to listen to it.

Riskygodfather · March 25, 2006, 04:49:45 PM

K now I get it. Rico was like Spock, the science officer/commander. That was quite fun listening to ;D

I listened to treksf episode 1 just for fun, and I thought it was fun to go back and listen to it. It's amazing how much the audio quality has improved from the first episode.

This show was great. Rico, your show was pretty well done for the time period. It would be cool if I could write an TOS script and the forum people can act it out over skype. Then Rico could mix it and do a podcast with it. Its only a dream tho and it would take work.

Wow...very nice work Rico. :biggrin

I'm impressed that you guys were able to record the sound effects from the television, and play them back at the right time for your audio show. How did you organize the sound effects so that you could find them quickly to play them for your recorded script? You did a great job of editing out the sounds the recorder makes when you press the buttons down for recording.Â

My younger siblingsÂ and I used to make audio shows, and it seemed the button sounds were always there no matter how careful we were to press them, or rewind to record over them. Our audio shows were NO WHERE NEAR as creative as yours (we would often pretend we were Disk jockeys). We'd play music and record fake commercials between our radio show. They were fun to make but horribly boring to listen to. :ohwell

Honestly, I listened to this again, and you guys should goo to hollywood and request some sort of deal, it's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was good. It was very TOS.
