Tomorrow's .NET Rocks! Live - Keith Pleas and Harry Pierson talk Architecture and Design

On another note, let me ask a question. If we recorded and broadcast the show live on Thursday night say from 10PM to Midnight EST, how many of you who aren't now able to listen live would tune in?

I actually like the current time slot - it makes sure i'm actually up and at my desk and all coffeed up on friday mornings.

but if you were to move it, i'd suggest 11pm to 1am est - this would move it to 8pm on the west which is post-dinner time and all that.

10PM to Midnight EST Thursday would be great for those of us working on the east coast of Australia! For us it'll be mid-day to 2pm on Friday! A nice way to begin the weekend wind down. :)

I try to catch the live shows when I can but I'm a night person so I'm not always awake at noon (how pathetic is that? :) ). I would definately be able to catch each one if it was moved to 10PM thursday.

I'm fine with either time but I would be able to listen live more often on Thursday night.

Considering I get up at 4am in Sydney to listen anything that puts it at a reasonable hour so do not have to miss it on the big night outs on Friday.

Always try to catch the current live show. Never have made it yet.

However a 10-11PM EST start time would be a no miss.

10pm Thursday EST would be perfect.

Would be perfect. Every week I promise I will listen live and then I miss it. (It's the thought that counts)

I"m actually the reverse of most (it seems). I'm up very early in the AM, so having the show late would mean that I would miss it...

Thursday would be good. I cannot stream audio from work...

I listen at work. Can't listen at home right now. Looks like 'to bad' for me.

Bandwidth sucks at work so I never get to listen live, and since I have no social life, thursday nights work better for me.

That would make it the middle of the night in Europe. No more listening live.

How about doing the show 12 times, then it will work for everyone?

Thursday night's perfect for me.

I like it just the way it is, 12 noon Eastern. I bring my lunch and listen to DNR. If it needs to be moved, Late afternoon would work as well, 3pm - 5pm eastern.

Night will never work for me. I have a family and a life outside of work!

I would definitely do the Thursday night time slot. I will never be able to listen live during work hours.

Rock On!

Yeah, please. Move it to Thurs. night.

Also - just asking out of curiosity - why does it take 2 days to get the audio files up for download after a show? Shouldn't that process only take an hour or so?

> Shouldn't that process only take an hour or so?

We record each voice seperately in its own track.

First we remove background noise from each track that needs it. That alone can take 20 to 30 minutes.

Then we adjust the EQ on any track that needs it, if a phone call sounds bad, for example.

Then we take out any coughs, burps, farts, or otherwise distracting noises on tracks that are not supposed to be making noise (the non-talker at the time). That can take hours.

Then we mix it down to a stereo wav

Then we edit for content. If someone says "fuck" it gets bleeped. If someone says "oh, that's wrong, we'll take that out" or some other stupid distracting thing jumps out, we'll fix it.

Then we split it into 2 parts. Each part gets converted to mp3 and wma, and the entire wav also gets converted to mp3 and wma.

The we copy them up to the server and flup the switch on the website.

We want to sound good forever. <g>

Yes!! I totally prefer this idea. I always wanted to listen live, but frankly I work on Fridays, and I don't have the luxury to just take off two hours from work, listen on headphones as everyone else does.

The current time slot is better for me.
Thanks

I would not tune in live on Thursdays, just hard to reserve that two-hour block of time (and stay awake), my fiancee would not be too happy. I try to listen from work on the current schedule but I keep getting interrupted and loose track of what's happening on the show.

The best way for me is the burn on CD and listen in the car technique.
