Chris here…
12 midnight UK time on Saturday (or, technically, 00:00am on Sunday morning!) would be OK for me! 
Take care…
Well, during the week was the only opportunity I could do the podcast. This weekend and the next will be busy for me. 
Hope you guys have fun recording the podcast!
Chris here…
Sorry to hear you can’t make it, Manny - that’s a real shame!
Soooo…is this definitely on for this evening? I realise I’m turning into a real broken record with this, so you guys must feel free to shoot me if I get annoying, LOL! 
Joking aside though, I’m just eager to make this happen!
Take care…
I’ll make it but…who will be recording???
Chris here…
That, MannyC my friend, is a very good question, LOL! I’m not able to do it myself, does anybody else who’s planning to attend have the ability to record this? I know Kyle does (or certainly used to) - will you be able to make it Kyle my friend?
Take care…
Yeh I’ll be there.. and yes I can record it..if everyone’s mic behaves themselves. Small note that I am working early on Sunday so would appreciate promptness.
If someone sent me the software to record I would give it a go. Has to be something legit though as I can’t put anything on this PC otherwise has it’s my brothers and he wouldn’t be happy if anything happened to it.
If it’s difficult for folks we could cancel tonights recording and then leave the Toys podcast for ep 4. Saying that though, I’d prefer not to do the S1V2 podcast for a while as I’ve had zero time to sit and watch it
Perhaps a week day would work better? I’m available any day at the moment at the following times:
UK: 12am-6am
ET: 7pm-1am
PT: 4pm-10pm
With not working at the moment, getting up for work isn’t an issue for the time being.
However if folks want to text chat on Skype tonight, I’ll be about Can you make it Chris, as we have some catching up to do! lol
mmm… I’d feel really guilty if my mic starts acting up again. I don’t wanna deprive you of sleep and make you late for work.
Can we reschedule this for a weekday? or perhaps to coincide when Kyle has a day off or something?
Im really up for either tonight or a week from now. Although I can make it during the week it cannot be any earlier than 7 PM ET (12 AM UK) due to my current schedule. However anytime during the weekends is cool with me. If we can start the podcast tonight around 10 PM UK time we should easily be done before midnight.
Let’s just knock this one out of the way if possible. MY mic works excellent now and Im sure we would have no trouble with everyone’s mic tonight. Neil, doesnt your mic work ok? I certainly cant remember one time when it didnt work
Chris here…
I’m easy with whatever everyone else wants to do, however I would say that I’m not available every weeknight this coming week - both Wednesday & Thursday night are out, as is Tuesday night possibly. I’m also not about next Saturday night either.
In terms of timings - I can sympathise with what Kyle is saying, as I have a relatively early start tomorrow and so the absolute latest I could possibly be would be a 2:00am finish - so, if we were in the middle of recording an episode at that time, I’d have to exit and leave you guys to finish! To which end, maybe another occasion would be best, although to be honest I wouldn’t want to pack up much later than 2:00am recording a podcast in any event, because of winding down afterwards.
In terms of the order of the episodes, I have to say I definitely feel that the Toys episode should be episode 3 - I wouldn’t want to tackle S1V2 yet either, not least of all because I haven’t picked up the UK version of that set yet! The ones I’d really like to tackle are the Comics edition (because Tim Perkins is waiting to be yanked into that) and the Larry Kenney interview edition (for the same reason). Larry in particular I don’t want to keep waiting too long, given that he’s been kind enough to agree to give up what with his schedule must be a fair amount of free time in order to take part in what is basically just a fan project - hence why I’m so keen to get this edition finalised and out! Also, I don’t want us to do a “MastersCast” and build up a good head of steam with this like we have, only to drop off the radar…
In terms of Skype tonight - I will definitely try and get on a bit later, Neil, as I know we have lots to catch up on! I’ve been meaning to PM you all week, unfortunately I’ve been out in the evenings a lot and just very busy generally. I’m aware I owe you some money, too, so we need to get that sorted. I’ll do my best to speak to you later, podcast recording or no!
Take care…
Let’s shoot for tonight then since it seems like the best option rather than keep postponing it. I know Neil and i can go forever talking about toys so we should get this wrapped up rather quickly. Say midnight tonight UK time?
Chris here…
I’m game - I’ll log on to Skype at midnight and see what’s up regardless!
To be honest, I think most of the rest of us talking about the toys will just provide punctuation for you & Neil talking about them, but I don’t think this is a bad thing - I’m sure no one will mind me saying that you two, along with Matt, are the guys who really know your stuff here!
Take care…
Well seems we are back in business then I guess
I have Pamela now so I can record as well, as a backup.
Thanks guys for a great recording saturday night
Editing on the latest episode is now completed and I’m uploading the episode now as I type this…
It can be found here, in my staff folder:
www.thundercatslair.org/staff/neil/thundercast
Remember, the password is beyondsight to access the folder.
Can folks let me know if the edit is ok?
Thanks
Chris here…
I still can’t get over how well this episode went given that we were working only from the most vague script - awesome job, guys!
The editing job on this I think is excellent - unfortunately the rather unclear signal I was hearing from Kyle’s mic on Saturday night does appear to have filtered in to the actual recording quality - can anybody else hear that? The other comment I’d make is that I thought we were now starting each ThunderCast episode with a brief snatch of the TCats theme music, either from the TV show or the new orchestral version we’ve just laid our hands on?
Apart from those minor points (the former of which nothing can be done about anyway), I’d say this is good to go! And, well done Neil for editing out MannyC’s x-rated Fistpounder reference, LOL! (j/k!) 
Take care…
The reason I haven’t uploaded this to the Thundercast site yet is due to Chris’ unanswered question about the theme music. If someone can add the theme music or make a descision as to not include it I can’t add it.
Let me know guys
Chris here…
I personally would like to see the music added to the beginning of this, and on the end as a fade-out as per episode 2 - obviously I’m happy to go with a majority ruling, but my own $0.02 would be that it would be best to have the music, I think it makes the podcast more interesting and professional-sounding.
I spoke to Neil about this on Skype last night, and suggested he PM MannyF regarding editing this into the recording - hopefully we’ll soon have this episode complete and online!
Take care…
Yeah I looked around for the sound clips Manny used for the other episodes and couldn’t find them. I’ve sent Manny a pm about it to see if he can add them for me. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do the fade ins/outs.
I’m actually surprised I managed to record the episode and edit it all without any help! lol
So I won’t push my luck with trying to edit the music in
I got the PM Neil…did you guys want the orchestral music or the ones that was used on the previous episode?
I dunno. I guess the one that will be used for future eps. I really don’t mind either way to be honest
Chris here…
I would say orchestral, if for no other reason than we’ve now told EternalKnights that we’ll be using it!
Take care…
