Indeed, Milo is fastidious when it comes to the audio quality. I think one of the most pleasantly surprising things about this has been how much on the same page we all are with regards to the edit. Occasionally notes will be swapped if it felt particularly "baggy" but virtually all the time, Milo instinctively
knows and everyone trusts him because he has such a great innate sense. Massive. Between that and the vibe, it has been a lot of fun and is well, well worth the effort.
Probably also worth mentioning we’ve all upgraded our set ups, with dedicated near studio quality mic’s, decent cans on everyone’s heads now to cut out feedback, and
@milo has migrated us from recording off Zoom to a dedicated piece of 3rd party software which records us all locally on individual tracks, which he can then import into Audacity for tinkering with to make the final product. We’ve all committed heavily to making the audio quality top notch (to offset the content!...)
He also then captures sound bites and does the template artwork to push them out on the Twitter and Instagram feeds.
I work on grabbing new followers using various tools on teletext and Milo creates and schedules content to drip feed out through the day at key points.
@AuroRaman does the same running the Instagram.
@GPRD81 and
@thfcsteff write blogs for us to keep the content fresh and interesting and Steff also dips into his Heavy Metal contacts Filofax to get us an occasional global rockstar chipping in too!
We have two (!) heavily used WhatsApp groups for the 8 of us to keep ideas going throughout the day and week, and that helps as it just feels like we’re picking up on Sunday night with chats we’ve been having with mates all week.
So lots going on, lots to come and watch this space!.
We’re putting a load of graft in - why? Well we don’t really know yet, but it’s just good fun!
A quick ask though, if anyone with iTunes and Social accounts would be so kind, we would really really massively benefit from positive reviews on iTunes and also retweets on social. It takes seconds to do and we’ll send
@milo round to tidy and organise your sock drawers as a gesture of thanks.
Cheers.
