What I Have Learned From The Most Recent Collab and Things We Can Improve On....

                 The most recent episode of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, was eye opening and a lot of learning for using the Mix-Minus setup and still a ton to learn with this. As you know as I mentioned on Social Media I couldn't hear Larry and I kind of figured that it had something to do with the mixer board and don't forget I had added the wires to the board and it was truly something to do with the mixer board. Anyways I apparently was messing around with the mixer and pressed a button on the Mixer which activated the lack of sound going through the board onto the recording. Either way the issue was quickly fixed and we recorded. This was very eye opening with this first collab with the Mix-Minus and we have a ton of learning to do and the levels on the mix-minus setup which is a knob on the board I turn to bring Larry onto the recording of the podcast. This was also the first time we actually used it as I haven't had it that long now, only a few weeks and it was not used since last week's recording so it was untested and I can definitely see us running into issues.

                   Anyways, the point of this post is we still gotta continue on working on levels and we do not really have much to improve just continue on working on levels and ensure we can hear Larry. One thing I am proud of is the conversation between Larry and I and he wanted to get involved and there was times he wanted to chime in and I let him say his peace and he answered my questions too. What I am trying to say is the interaction was a lot better and we're getting better as we continue to progress with the podcast. I have learned a lot from this experience and things are just getting a ton better and the quality of production is getting a lot better now we have this setup just getting use to this new setup. Things are underway and we are getting there with this setup with this hiatus coming very soon we will have plenty of time to change the way we do things. I still gotta talk to my right hand man on this to what the plan is moving forward. Anyways enjoy the pre-written blog posts over the next 4 days, Merry Christmas and I will talk to you all on Monday as I do not normally write posts on Sundays.

I Have Returned! Where Have I Been?

               I have Officially returned to posts and honestly I know I went away and there was a ton of drama with my team and I ensure you what is going on between my team and I, we're fine, the 3 of us are completely fine and I know I lost 3 likes on the page but that's OK I'll rebuild it and I have reached out to some peeps in the past to see if I can bring back a fan that supported me originally. Working my magic right now. Anyways to why I was missing in the last entire week last week is no secret why I disappear for a week is because of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast as I was working so hard on getting notes finished and I did finished up the notes and we recorded and it was a very big success despite some minor hiccups but it was a technical issue within the mixer and my doing, pressing the darn buttons and the issue I was having was I couldn't hear Larry very well on the mixer and I feared we almost postponed or used a different source of recording.

               However, I started fiddling with the mixer and it worked and we were under way and recorded 2 hours & 22 minutes worth of content. We put a ton of time and effort into the content which is why it does so well for us and goes to show we are doing something right and you guys have been enjoying it 2.5 Years later.  This week is me editing the collab and starting up Dino Thunder before my 4 day breaks during the holidays and hopefully  back to the grind on Sunday morning when I get things underway all the way to New Years Eve. Trying to get notes done just before New Years so this way I am able to actually start typing in the New Year so Larry and I can record mid January 2021 at the most. So that is where I have been is Collab work right now. You will see 1 more live blog tomorrow from me but then it's all pre-written for the next 4 days while I'm off spending time with my parents since we're in a full pledge lockdown but will make the best of it. Anyways I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Hints Chris Is Giving You Guys!

               Chris made me do this post specifically for a reason. To tease you guys for what is to come in 2021. Yes Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is coming back in 2021 and Chris given 3 different months for me to hint to you guys and why:

April 2021: If all goes well and quoting Chris's words from him that if all does go well and notes are ready to go he will be ready to go back to the Collaboration Podcast sooner. 

May 2021: This is the back up plan if worse comes to worse as I said he has a 3 different ideas in mind and depends how well he does with the planning of the Collaboration Podcast.

June 2021: This is the final month he has planned in the back of his mind and honestly I think this is the month he will be returning so it sounding like by his conversations with myself and Larry this is the set month he will be returning OFFICIALLY. He's hinted that you never know he could be back in studio together and yes he is being optimistic about it. 

 

               What it is sounding like it will be an 6 month Hiatus then the PR Collaboration Podcast boys will be back in the saddle again. Do not forget they also have to still do Dino Thunder in January and just maybe he's actually hinted the final collab before the break live on Facebook but will have to wait and see honestly. Hope this gives you guys a clue to what he is up to and he is truly up to no good and let him have his fun, LOL. He's doing it for a reason I'm sure. ha-ha!

What Needs To Be Tested With The New Mix-Minus Setup?

          Now that Chris has the Mix-Minus setup and he has it all hooked up and it does work, there is some things that he needs to do with Larry to ensure it works as Chris is no longer using OBS for recording and strictly this setup. Here is what he needs to do over the next few months while testing and making things work great:

- Chris has to work on the levels on both sides, his mic and the guest side of things via Discord or Skype as it hasn't properly been worked out and I think this is why he is thinking about his first guest interview will not be till the end of the month of January.

- He still has to learn how it works and figuring out how to not make the earphones squeal as that has become a problem with the excessive squealing and I've heard it over the phone and it ain't pretty that's for sure.

- He also has to figure out how to run his intro and not stream it into the guest on Discord or Skype as it will come back to the recording and it could be a problem indefinitely be a problem and I suggested he don't have the volume on Larry or any of the guests on at the time and they probably hear it through the mic a bit I'm sure.

- He will also test both Skype and Discord on two different nights to ensure it works on one or the other technically and to which one of the two are the best for recording a podcast and I am sure both will work just fine.

             These are the things he needs to work on and learn how it works and it shouldn't take long but with the collab is him getting the next collab notes finished up and that is just one of the reasons why there is a hiatus is the notes are so far behind schedule but least you get Entertainment Man Podcast in the time being while they work on catching up but more information coming tomorrow as there is a part 2 to all of this but different topic tomorrow, until then, have a great rest of your day!

State Of The Studio Closure (Updates)

           I have some information that Chris wanted me to share with you guys since he is indeed off this entire website from posts and I have written posts for the entire week in one night. As you guys know the studio has been closed for an entire 9 months now and the update is at this point of this COVID-19 Pandemic, Chris has made the decision to extend the closure up to June 2021 at this point. Now I know what your going ask what about the Collaboration Podcast. Remember when he announced on Oct 27th, 2020 there would be an hiatus of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and up to June 2021 there are no plans to start up the Collaboration Podcast, but I can hint it will be in June sometime and another announcement is to come eventually as Chris and Larry are going to be working on fixing it. Another blog post to come about this tomorrow with some information the boss man has given me to tell you guys on a hint to when it could return and what not. He's up to something and I know it. 

 

          So this not affecting the collab and Chris will still be working on Entertainment Man Podcast and probably will be working with Larry on constant testing on the new mix minus setup which will make things a lot easier and he has the setup and has tested it all together. But he's not tested it all. But that's another post to do that i will do in the coming days. I am exposing the inner workings of ChrisBOnTheWeb. Chris prays and hope even by June to be able to see Larry in person again but that will all depend on the state of this pandemic. He will be making a further decision by June of next year to what the next stage of this closure is and if there will be restrictions or if he will continue to keep it shutdown publicly to the team as I have not been there but been in close contact via phone and video chat to any updates that he has and keeping an eye on him how he's doing with his mental health.

Holiday Schedule December 2020/January 2021

               This is his usual time, I am talking about Chris, well he normally takes 2 weeks off no work nothing to do with ChrisBOnTheWeb, well use to but takes certain days off and works the other days and he has sent me an email with dates to when he's in the studio working and when he's taking time off. So without further ado, here is the schedule starting December 23rd, 2020 till January 2nd, 2021:

Dec 23rd - Dec 26th, 2020: Chris is out of the studio not working whatsoever.

Dec 27th - Dec 30th, 2020: Chris will be in the studio working, may be half days, may be full days, depends how he's feeling.

Dec 31st, 2020 & Jan 1st, 2021: Chris is out of the studio not working on content at all.

Jan 2nd, 2021: Chris is back in the studio back to work on content.

                  

                In total he will be taking 6 total days off which is probably enough time for him to decompress from a busy year moving forward which is good and I will be around. Now he has mentioned that the Community Lounge Chat will be Locked Down Dec 24th/25th, 2020 for Christmas & also Dec 31st, 2020/Jan 1st, 2021 as we wanna enjoy our time off from working around the clock for you guys and we rarely shutdown chat for holidays but we are making the exception this time around. We need a break but both Chris and I have email on our phone and we constantly go our eye on the email and ready to answer you during this closure.
