Welcome.

4
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:02,600
Hi.

5
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:02,960
Hi.

6
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:03,560
Hi.

7
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:04,780
Hello, everyone.

8
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,540
To the Pro Audio Suite.

9
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,640
These guys are professional, they're motivated.

10
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:11,280
Thanks to Tribute, the best vocal booth for

11
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,760
home or on the road voice recording, and

12
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Austrian Audio, making passion heard.

13
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:20,080
Introducing Robert Marshall from Source Elements and Someone

14
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,660
Audio Post, Chicago.

15
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:24,820
Darren Robert Robertson from Voodoo Radio Imaging, Sydney.

16
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:26,800

00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,400
And me, Andrew Peters, voiceover talent and home

19
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,080
studio guy.

20
00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:37,990
And welcome to another Pro Audio Suite, thanks

21
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:38,630
to Tribute.

22
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:41,650
Don't forget the code, TRIPAP200.

23
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:44,330
That will get you $200 off your Tribute.

24
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:46,290
And there's something new on the way from

25
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:48,010
Tribute, which is a bit hush-hush at

26
00:00:48,010 --> 00:00:50,250
the moment, but I'm intrigued.

27
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:52,010
And George is sworn to secrecy, I can

28
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:52,330
tell.

29
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:53,270
He's gagged.

30
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:54,530
He's gagging to tell us.

31
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:54,910
Look at him.

32
00:00:55,230 --> 00:00:55,850
Yeah, exactly.

33
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:58,870
And Austrian Audio, making passion heard.

34
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:01,190
Now, Austrian Audio are giving away a pair

35
00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:04,370
of their new Hi-X20 headphones to the

36
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:05,990
winner of our mix competition.

37
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:08,650
We've selected 10 of the entries so far

38
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:11,150
just to run through today, and then our

39
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:12,970
shortlist will be sent off to Austrian Audio.

40
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:16,390
And Kurt from Austrian Audio will pick us

41
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:16,670
a winner.

42
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:17,410
Pick a winner?

43
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:20,870
So, let's start by having you listen to

44
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:21,990
the ones that have come in so far.

45
00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:24,810
Can we kick off Mr Music with Chris

46
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:25,150
Kane?

47
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:26,250
Chris Kane, we can.

48
00:01:26,350 --> 00:01:26,870
Here we go.

49
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,020
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

50
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,920
and culture.

51
00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:48,210
National Geographic today, tonight at 7 on the

52
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:49,490
National Geographic Channel.

53
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:52,210
Always wonder.

54
00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:53,950
Okay, that was Chris Kane.

55
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:55,850
Do we just want to run through them

56
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:57,070
and just mark as we go?

57
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:57,470
Yeah, okay.

58
00:01:57,470 --> 00:01:58,430
All right, let's do that.

59
00:01:58,510 --> 00:01:58,850
Yeah, okay.

60
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:00,450
Let's do the next one then.

61
00:02:00,550 --> 00:02:02,790
I've got down here Luke Trusty.

62
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:03,470
Trusty Luke.

63
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:09,690
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, and

64
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:10,150
culture.

65
00:02:11,610 --> 00:02:14,350
Tonight at 7 on the National Geographic Channel.

66
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:17,290
Always wonder.

67
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:20,070
Your old mate, Robbo Ray Kingston.

68
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:26,790
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

69
00:02:26,970 --> 00:02:28,390
and culture.

70
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:35,910
National Geographic today, tonight at 7 on the

71
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:37,190
National Geographic Channel.

72
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:39,410
Always wonder.

73
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:45,130
So, can I just say, knowing Ray, that's

74
00:02:45,130 --> 00:02:45,810
very Ray.

75
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:48,390
Clearly, he wanted a laugh.

76
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:50,870
Ray Kington, nice one, Ray.

77
00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:51,350
Thank you.

78
00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:54,810
The next one I've got is Amime, or

79
00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:56,950
A-me-me, or I'm not quite sure

80
00:02:56,950 --> 00:02:59,130
how you pronounce it, but A-M-I

81
00:02:59,130 --> 00:02:59,810
-M-E.

82
00:03:00,050 --> 00:03:00,610
Amine, maybe.

83
00:03:01,170 --> 00:03:01,650
I don't know.

84
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:12,130
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

85
00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:14,210
and culture.

86
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:23,850
National Geographic today, tonight at 7 on the

87
00:03:23,850 --> 00:03:25,150
National Geographic Channel.

88
00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:27,810
Always wonder.

89
00:03:28,210 --> 00:03:28,770
All right, P.

90
00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:29,630
Evans, here we go.

91
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:30,690
I like the music cue.

92
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:31,170
I like that.

93
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:31,890
I like that track.

94
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:32,390
It's cool.

95
00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:42,150
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

96
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:44,170
and culture.

97
00:03:45,230 --> 00:03:48,870
National Geographic today, tonight at 7 on the

98
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:50,110
National Geographic Channel.

99
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:50,850
Always wonder.

100
00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:52,230
Methinks P.

101
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:53,250
Evans is in radio.

102
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:54,470
Yeah, I have a feeling.

103
00:03:54,790 --> 00:03:55,410
Yeah, I agree.

104
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:55,890
Yeah.

105
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:58,470
Okay, the next one I've got is Lynn

106
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:59,310
D.

107
00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:00,010
Blue.

108
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:01,630
Why?

109
00:04:01,710 --> 00:04:03,090
Because it was rather side-chain-y?

110
00:04:03,570 --> 00:04:06,530
There was a bit of EQ towards the

111
00:04:06,530 --> 00:04:06,670
end.

112
00:04:06,790 --> 00:04:07,730
Yeah, filtering.

113
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:09,010
Filtering the voice, yeah.

114
00:04:09,090 --> 00:04:09,390
Yeah.

115
00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:11,410
All right, well, here's Lynn D.

116
00:04:11,470 --> 00:04:11,670
Blue.

117
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:21,830
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

118
00:04:22,330 --> 00:04:23,930
and culture.

119
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:33,430
National Geographic today, tonight at 7 on the

120
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:34,730
National Geographic Channel.

121
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:37,410
Always wonder.

122
00:04:37,750 --> 00:04:38,350
Interesting.

123
00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:42,010
I'm actually now changing my mind, I think.

124
00:04:42,130 --> 00:04:42,750
Are you?

125
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:43,150
Okay.

126
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:44,570
Yeah, I am.

127
00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:45,070
I think so.

128
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:48,030
Now, we've got two here from Paul Seeger,

129
00:04:48,570 --> 00:04:50,090
one with my voice and one with his

130
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:50,370
voice.

131
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:51,810
Do we play both?

132
00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:52,150
Yeah.

133
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:52,710
We should play both.

134
00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:54,110
Do the one with...

135
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:57,130
Well, I think it's confusing to have his

136
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:57,730
voice in there.

137
00:04:58,110 --> 00:05:00,630
Well, that was part of the competition, though,

138
00:05:00,670 --> 00:05:01,470
was to have a bit of fun with

139
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:01,570
it.

140
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:02,930
And if you didn't like something, make it

141
00:05:02,930 --> 00:05:03,250
your own.

142
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:05,330
So I think both are relevant.

143
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:05,910
Here we go.

144
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:16,950
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

145
00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:18,910
and culture.

146
00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:27,990
National Geographic today, tonight at 7, only on

147
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:29,810
the National Geographic Channel.

148
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:32,210
Always wonder.

149
00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:34,790
And then he also did a mix using

150
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:35,850
AP's voice.

151
00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:46,470
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

152
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:48,550
and culture.

153
00:05:53,690 --> 00:05:58,090
National Geographic today, tonight at 7, on the

154
00:05:58,090 --> 00:05:59,370
National Geographic Channel.

155
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:02,070
Always wonder.

156
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:02,810
Who have we missed?

157
00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:03,490
We've missed someone.

158
00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:06,250
Yeah, and one more, which is Tian Tan.

159
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:16,790
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

160
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:18,850
and culture.

161
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:28,370
National Geographic today, tonight at 7, on the

162
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:29,710
National Geographic Channel.

163
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:32,370
Always wonder.

164
00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:33,670
Well, there you go.

165
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:34,250
Yeah.

166
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:35,950
Who wants to kick off with their thoughts

167
00:06:35,950 --> 00:06:36,270
on?

168
00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:38,330
There's my thoughts.

169
00:06:38,770 --> 00:06:39,330
Your top three.

170
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:41,950
Go, Robert, you go then.

171
00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:44,150
It's all misspelled and everything.

172
00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:47,930
So I don't have these measured between each

173
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:49,690
other, but just, you know, each one on

174
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:51,850
a delta, sigma, plus or minus.

175
00:06:52,210 --> 00:06:54,230
Chris Kane's, I thought his mix was pretty

176
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:54,530
good.

177
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:57,770
Nice and loud, but still you could hear

178
00:06:57,770 --> 00:06:58,310
stuff.

179
00:07:00,190 --> 00:07:01,910
Trusty, I didn't think was a very good

180
00:07:01,910 --> 00:07:02,150
mix.

181
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:04,450
I think the vocal is low, kind of

182
00:07:04,450 --> 00:07:05,270
thin sounding.

183
00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:09,110
Ray, very funny.

184
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:11,910
Hilarious.

185
00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:13,230
Loved it.

186
00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:17,490
I didn't like Animes or whatever.

187
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:20,030
I can't remember why, but didn't think it

188
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:20,710
was such a good mix.

189
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:22,090
P.

190
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:22,350
Evans.

191
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:23,470
Yeah, interesting.

192
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:24,090
Not bad.

193
00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:25,230
He did some effects there.

194
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:28,830
It was a little bit cut, but creative

195
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:29,490
and cool.

196
00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:31,710
Lindy Blue.

197
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:34,890
Not too bad of a mix.

198
00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:35,790
I don't know if it was as good

199
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:36,490
as Chris's.

200
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:41,150
And then Seaver or whatever that person was.

201
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:41,690
Paul Seeger, yeah.

202
00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:42,490
Seeger, yeah.

203
00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:44,530
So the one he did, I wasn't such

204
00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:45,110
a fan of that.

205
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:46,930
But the other one he did with your

206
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:49,810
voice, I think it was also not too

207
00:07:49,810 --> 00:07:50,110
bad.

208
00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:51,610
Probably one of the better ones, but I

209
00:07:51,610 --> 00:07:53,670
don't think Chris's.

210
00:07:53,690 --> 00:07:55,270
I still think Chris's was better.

211
00:07:56,890 --> 00:07:58,530
And Tian Tan, the last one?

212
00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:00,630
Not bad either, is my note.

213
00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:01,770
Not bad either.

214
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:03,350
That's fully detailed.

215
00:08:03,570 --> 00:08:04,410
That's amazing.

216
00:08:06,350 --> 00:08:07,770
So if you're going to do top three,

217
00:08:07,970 --> 00:08:10,170
Chris Kane obviously is in the top three.

218
00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:16,430
Yeah, Chris Kane, probably actually Tian and one

219
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:16,910
more.

220
00:08:18,430 --> 00:08:19,550
I'll go with you guys.

221
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:21,510
I think Ray was a lot of fun.

222
00:08:21,550 --> 00:08:22,450
Chris Kane and Tian.

223
00:08:22,970 --> 00:08:23,070
Okay.

224
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:23,170
Yep.

225
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:23,590
Okay.

226
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:26,770
I'll go with those three.

227
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:27,850
Cool.

228
00:08:28,430 --> 00:08:28,830
George.

229
00:08:29,090 --> 00:08:30,850
I think I tend to vote more on

230
00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:33,049
production quality than on creativity.

231
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:35,010
I think that's just kind of my...

232
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:35,570
Well, that's your bag.

233
00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:36,110
I'll say this.

234
00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:37,169
So that's the thing.

235
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:41,570
So Chris, number one, I did star ratings.

236
00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:42,210
It was good.

237
00:08:42,409 --> 00:08:43,430
I gave it four out of five.

238
00:08:44,850 --> 00:08:45,650
Second, LT.

239
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:46,990
I gave him three.

240
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:49,110
I didn't think it was that bad, actually.

241
00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:51,410
RK, damn funny.

242
00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:53,450
I thought it sounded pretty bad.

243
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:55,650
Yeah, it did sound pretty bad.

244
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:57,730
There's a bit of compression on there, right?

245
00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:58,610
I mean, come on, mate.

246
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:59,210
What are you doing?

247
00:08:59,410 --> 00:08:59,750
Seriously.

248
00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:02,250
If it was ironic, then good for you.

249
00:09:04,590 --> 00:09:08,150
AM, the entire track, everything was mono'd.

250
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:11,630
So all the effects and music, everything was

251
00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:12,450
right down the center.

252
00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:15,230
So don't know if that was intentional or

253
00:09:15,230 --> 00:09:16,890
not, but it's when you're comparing with everybody

254
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:18,830
else in stereo, with such a cool wide

255
00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:20,490
stereo feel that sounded really...

256
00:09:20,490 --> 00:09:22,270
That aligns with my...

257
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:24,890
But not bad, not a bad mix, just

258
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:25,730
mono.

259
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:28,010
So if it was for mono, that would

260
00:09:28,010 --> 00:09:28,150
be great.

261
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:29,090
If it was a mistake, can I just

262
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:30,290
tell you, I can relate to that.

263
00:09:30,430 --> 00:09:33,150
Because when I was doing Work Experience, I

264
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:34,770
made my very first radio commercial.

265
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:37,090
And I thought it sounded really cool because

266
00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:38,890
it had this sort of delay effect going

267
00:09:38,890 --> 00:09:39,810
on on the voiceover.

268
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:42,510
And I put it on a cassette because

269
00:09:42,510 --> 00:09:45,390
I mixed it while the guy who's...

270
00:09:45,390 --> 00:09:46,110
I was doing Work Experience with went out

271
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:46,550
for lunch.

272
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:48,830
And he left me an 8-track multitrack

273
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:49,770
session open to mix.

274
00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:51,170
So I put it on a cassette and

275
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:52,210
thought, cool, there's my demo.

276
00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:54,230
When I went for my first job interview

277
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:56,150
with a guy called Phil Lentz, who subsequently

278
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:58,430
gave me my first job, the first thing

279
00:09:58,430 --> 00:09:59,530
he said to me was, I really like

280
00:09:59,530 --> 00:10:01,050
your demo, but did you realize you had

281
00:10:01,050 --> 00:10:03,110
a today and a tomorrow track open at

282
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:04,390
the same time?

283
00:10:06,450 --> 00:10:08,190
So I had two versions of the voiceover

284
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:09,550
over the open that was giving me that

285
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:11,330
really cool delay effect that I was listening

286
00:10:11,330 --> 00:10:13,130
to going, man, that sounds amazing.

287
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:14,730
But it was actually two versions of the

288
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:15,110
script.

289
00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:17,410
So there you go.

290
00:10:17,530 --> 00:10:19,170
If that was a mistake, you're not the

291
00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:20,350
only one, can I just say.

292
00:10:23,510 --> 00:10:25,770
The initials PE, that was the fifth one,

293
00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:26,510
three stars.

294
00:10:27,010 --> 00:10:27,850
Fine, nothing great.

295
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:29,150
LB.

296
00:10:30,250 --> 00:10:32,510
The mastered output level's kind of low compared

297
00:10:32,510 --> 00:10:33,430
to the others, you know?

298
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:34,550
But I didn't mind.

299
00:10:34,690 --> 00:10:36,890
I thought it was a clean, quality mix.

300
00:10:37,050 --> 00:10:38,110
I gave it four stars.

301
00:10:39,570 --> 00:10:39,970
PS1.

302
00:10:40,830 --> 00:10:42,410
Yeah, PS1, the first one.

303
00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:46,490
Just from a technical standpoint, could have been

304
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:46,970
a lot better.

305
00:10:47,130 --> 00:10:48,610
I mean, he went out on a limb

306
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:50,750
and just went creative and did everything from

307
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,170
scratch.

308
00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:53,130
So points for that, but still, I gave

309
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:53,530
it a two.

310
00:10:54,390 --> 00:10:56,270
His second one, gave it a three.

311
00:10:56,410 --> 00:10:57,490
I mean, three or four.

312
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,930
I guess it depends on whether you look

313
00:10:58,930 --> 00:11:02,350
at radio production creativity as another point, using

314
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:04,130
side chains and ducking and whatever.

315
00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:07,330
But I really, really thought the Tian Tan

316
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:08,250
one was my favorite.

317
00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:09,650
I really thought that was the one that

318
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:10,770
stood out the most.

319
00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:11,890
I really liked the mix.

320
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:14,350
I thought the fidelity, just from the technical

321
00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:18,010
perspective, from tastefulness, from the way the voice

322
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:20,010
is EQ'd and sits right in the mix,

323
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:21,370
doesn't sound overly...

324
00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:23,630
It wasn't as aggressive as Chris.

325
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:24,350
Yeah, I don't...

326
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:27,830
I prefer less aggressive, I guess, you know?

327
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:30,010
And very clean, but still clear.

328
00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:30,850
So that was my...

329
00:11:30,850 --> 00:11:31,950
So what's your top three then?

330
00:11:32,050 --> 00:11:32,290
Tian?

331
00:11:33,090 --> 00:11:36,310
Top is Tian and CC or Chris at

332
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:38,230
the beginning would be second.

333
00:11:39,330 --> 00:11:40,930
And LB maybe would be third.

334
00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:41,710
Okay, cool.

335
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:42,670
Andrew, you're next.

336
00:11:44,110 --> 00:11:44,590
Okay.

337
00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:48,150
Well, it's funny, George, we're actually the same.

338
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:51,590
I did actually, I've changed it after listening

339
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:53,030
to them again, because I only had one

340
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:53,870
listen the other day.

341
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:57,610
So I've got, not necessarily in this order,

342
00:11:57,830 --> 00:11:59,030
but I have Tian Tan.

343
00:12:00,410 --> 00:12:03,090
I have Linda Blue.

344
00:12:03,150 --> 00:12:03,510
Linda Blue.

345
00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:04,650
Okay.

346
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:05,070
Yep.

347
00:12:05,290 --> 00:12:06,710
And I have Chris Kane.

348
00:12:07,550 --> 00:12:08,210
They're my three.

349
00:12:08,350 --> 00:12:08,970
Your top three.

350
00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:10,590
But what's the rank?

351
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:12,670
I thought you guys liked Ray.

352
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:14,490
I thought I wasn't rocking the boat.

353
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:18,130
Yeah, we thought that the humour was funny.

354
00:12:19,810 --> 00:12:21,570
But I gave...

355
00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:22,810
I was doing the same kind of thing,

356
00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:24,510
the five star thing.

357
00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:27,550
And my first listen, I gave Chris Kane

358
00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:28,530
four and a half stars.

359
00:12:28,810 --> 00:12:32,030
In retrospect, I think I would give Tian

360
00:12:32,030 --> 00:12:33,670
Tan four and a half stars.

361
00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:37,990
I would give Chris Kane four, Linda Blue

362
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:38,610
four.

363
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:42,130
Then I had the Paul Seeger mix of

364
00:12:42,130 --> 00:12:42,470
me.

365
00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:45,230
I gave him 3.5 for that.

366
00:12:46,030 --> 00:12:48,470
I would have given him three for his

367
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:50,170
reed, for that mix.

368
00:12:51,130 --> 00:12:53,570
Paul Evans, I also had 3.5, Amini

369
00:12:53,570 --> 00:12:55,570
three, Ray Kingston.

370
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,510
I gave him a three because it made

371
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,430
me laugh, but probably shouldn't have done.

372
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:01,990
And Luke, trusty, I gave it two.

373
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:04,290
Are we tossing Ray because you didn't take

374
00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:04,830
it seriously?

375
00:13:05,390 --> 00:13:07,030
No, we didn't.

376
00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:10,030
I'm not tossing him because he's on my

377
00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:10,310
list.

378
00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:11,650
Ray made it.

379
00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:16,590
Look, part of the criteria was for creativity.

380
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:18,290
So, you know, I kind of feel like

381
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:19,670
he deserves a vote for that.

382
00:13:19,930 --> 00:13:20,610
So, you know...

383
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:23,130
The reverb was like...

384
00:13:23,130 --> 00:13:25,470
It was just that sort of special touch,

385
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:25,810
wasn't it?

386
00:13:26,590 --> 00:13:28,710
And the compression, well, you know, he's a

387
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:29,210
radio guy.

388
00:13:29,310 --> 00:13:31,170
So if it doesn't sound compressed, it's clearly

389
00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:31,990
not compressed.

390
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:33,570
So, you know...

391
00:13:33,570 --> 00:13:35,330
Play Ray one more time.

392
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:43,090
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

393
00:13:43,610 --> 00:13:44,670
and culture.

394
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:52,230
National Geographic today, tonight at seven, on the

395
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:53,490
National Geographic Channel.

396
00:13:54,510 --> 00:13:55,930
Always wonder...

397
00:13:58,290 --> 00:14:01,310
Is he saying a word?

398
00:14:01,650 --> 00:14:02,410
I don't know.

399
00:14:02,410 --> 00:14:03,230
Who knows?

400
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:04,490
Only Ray will know.

401
00:14:04,650 --> 00:14:06,150
And he'll ring me and tell me once

402
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:08,250
we get off this podcast.

403
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:10,810
It is loud in your face.

404
00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:11,870
Yeah, it is really in your face.

405
00:14:11,890 --> 00:14:14,350
The sucking compression, there's something about that.

406
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:17,150
I mean, he needs to get an honourable

407
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:17,470
mention.

408
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:18,390
Can we give him a four?

409
00:14:18,610 --> 00:14:21,950
Well, an honourable mention then for Robert.

410
00:14:22,170 --> 00:14:25,090
My other two for the reasons that I

411
00:14:25,090 --> 00:14:26,690
don't need to express because everyone else has

412
00:14:26,690 --> 00:14:27,250
already expressed them.

413
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:28,650
I kind of feel like Chris and Linda

414
00:14:28,650 --> 00:14:31,450
are my two picks as well.

415
00:14:31,450 --> 00:14:33,970
Linda Blue and Chris Kane would be my

416
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:34,290
two.

417
00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:37,250
If I have to put an order to

418
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:41,090
all of it, I'd say Chris, then...

419
00:14:41,090 --> 00:14:42,530
So, here we go.

420
00:14:42,730 --> 00:14:43,870
I've written them down.

421
00:14:44,070 --> 00:14:46,070
So, Chris has a vote from all of

422
00:14:46,070 --> 00:14:46,310
us.

423
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:47,290
So, it's Chris Kane.

424
00:14:48,770 --> 00:14:51,190
Ray has a vote from me and Robert.

425
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:53,530
So, that's two votes for Ray.

426
00:14:55,510 --> 00:14:58,210
Tian, one, two, three.

427
00:14:58,790 --> 00:15:00,050
Tian has three.

428
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:02,390
Yeah, I've got...

429
00:15:02,390 --> 00:15:03,670
Three votes for Tian.

430
00:15:06,330 --> 00:15:07,550
Chris Kane, we've done.

431
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:10,130
Linda Blue has two.

432
00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:12,450
Wow, we might need a...

433
00:15:12,450 --> 00:15:14,090
I would give her...

434
00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:15,790
Hang on one sec then.

435
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:17,210
So, who are we missing?

436
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:18,270
Who's CB?

437
00:15:19,470 --> 00:15:20,810
CB got one vote.

438
00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:21,930
CB.

439
00:15:22,170 --> 00:15:22,770
Is there a CB?

440
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:23,790
I've got CB down.

441
00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:24,910
Who did you vote for, George?

442
00:15:25,070 --> 00:15:27,550
I've got Tian, Chris and CB.

443
00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:29,070
Or should that be LB?

444
00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:30,350
No, he's got the same as me.

445
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:32,090
So, that should be Linda Blue, should it?

446
00:15:32,290 --> 00:15:33,130
That's my writing.

447
00:15:33,270 --> 00:15:36,370
Okay, so Linda Blue actually gets three votes.

448
00:15:36,510 --> 00:15:39,310
Okay, so we've got Chris, Tian and Linda

449
00:15:39,310 --> 00:15:40,470
are our top three then.

450
00:15:40,730 --> 00:15:42,330
And Ray is out by...

451
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:43,450
He's missed by one vote.

452
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:46,570
So, maybe we put him in as the

453
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:48,530
encouragement award just to sort of see whether

454
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:51,670
the guys at Austrian Audio agree that maybe

455
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:55,030
his special touches deserve the headphones, I guess.

456
00:15:55,530 --> 00:15:57,430
I wonder if that'll...

457
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:58,850
I think he deserves to be in the

458
00:15:58,850 --> 00:15:59,090
top.

459
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:05,530
So, we've got Chris, we've got Tian, we've

460
00:16:05,530 --> 00:16:06,770
got Ray and we've got Linda.

461
00:16:08,190 --> 00:16:09,390
Okay, so that's our top four.

462
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:11,670
So, they're the four we'll send across to

463
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:12,190
Austrian Audio.

464
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:14,410
And we're going to hopefully get one of

465
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:15,990
the guys on the line from over there

466
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:17,690
to have a chat about the new headphones

467
00:16:17,690 --> 00:16:21,270
and pick the winner in a future episode,

468
00:16:21,390 --> 00:16:22,590
hopefully not too far away.

469
00:16:23,310 --> 00:16:23,430
Yeah.

470
00:16:23,510 --> 00:16:23,710
Cool.

471
00:16:23,870 --> 00:16:24,770
Well, there you go.

472
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:25,630
Thank you to everybody.

473
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:26,490
That was a fun experiment.

474
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:28,090
That was entirely too much work.

475
00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:31,010
You guys need to appreciate how much of

476
00:16:31,010 --> 00:16:33,450
a pain in the neck that was to

477
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:34,790
do for everyone involved.

478
00:16:34,970 --> 00:16:36,330
20 minutes and they set up...

479
00:16:36,330 --> 00:16:38,430
Setting up mixed minuses and God knows what

480
00:16:38,430 --> 00:16:39,250
so everybody can hear it.

481
00:16:39,250 --> 00:16:41,370
And all the file gatherings and da-da

482
00:16:41,370 --> 00:16:41,690
-da-da.

483
00:16:41,830 --> 00:16:42,630
But you know what?

484
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,710
We finally did a contest and we've...

485
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:45,350
Exactly.

486
00:16:45,850 --> 00:16:47,430
Robert, bring on Source Connect 4 and save

487
00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:48,510
me all that grief, please.

488
00:16:49,870 --> 00:16:50,630
Very cool.

489
00:16:50,950 --> 00:16:51,470
Nice, guys.

490
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:53,850
Thank you to everybody who entered and thank

491
00:16:53,850 --> 00:16:55,090
you for taking the time to do it.

492
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:56,390
Because I know, I mean, just setting up

493
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,950
to do that, you know, there's a good

494
00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:00,050
half hour, an hour's work in all that.

495
00:17:00,190 --> 00:17:01,270
So much appreciated.

496
00:17:01,470 --> 00:17:03,170
And if we could give you all a

497
00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:04,190
pair of headphones, we would.

498
00:17:04,550 --> 00:17:04,670
Yeah.

499
00:17:04,869 --> 00:17:05,710
No, thanks for the effort.

500
00:17:05,810 --> 00:17:06,450
But we're not paying for it.

501
00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:09,290
In fact, Austrian Audio have just told us.

502
00:17:09,770 --> 00:17:10,630
Look under your chair.

503
00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:14,329
Well, that was fun.

504
00:17:14,430 --> 00:17:14,770
Is it over?
