No problems with the audio here? Edit: Hm, it does get a little bit jerky around 18 minutes or so...
And damn, one day im going to say that the money at 2/4 is not significant for me also and that I just play to learn! ![]()
What is up with the production quality lately? If it's a camtasia issue then just keep the video and audio separate and merge them at a later time or something.
Still a very happy customer but it's sad to see the presentation of the product get worse and worse. It kinda ruins Vannessa's excellent effort in this series imo.

Unfortunately these are problems with the audio quality coming from Skype, not from anything in production or post-production. Depending on the connection of the EP recording, sometimes Skype will skip out or digitize in a weird way, which is impossible for us to fix. It's frustrating at times for sure but the only way we can record coaching videos like this -- usually it turns out fine but occasionally it ends up with artifacts and issues like this that we can't do anything about.

Audio makes it kind of unwatchable. Which is a real shame since the first 20 minutes is excellent.

Maybe experiment with MediaRing, Google Talk or other Skype alternatives?

I've tried about a half dozen, but never tried MediaRing. Don't know of any way to record conversations in Google Talk but I'll look into it as well. I think the problem is more with the host connection and uplink speed than with Skype itself, but I'll keep looking for a better solution for VOIP recording.

Kinda bummed at how the audio came out. We obviously weren't talking over each other while making the vid but on here it seems like we were. I think at one point on the vid you can hear Vanessa answer a question before you hear me ask it!
FWIW I do know on my end the bandwidth both up and down is really fast.
Can't both parties record the audio seperately and then synchronize the files later? Been wondering that for a long time. Of course the risk of ruin increases a fair bit but it would help out the quality immensely.

try ventrilo. You can have group chats through it and record. You can get high quality servers too at a cheap rate.

this was exactly what I was going to suggest. The sound quality is much better in ventrilo than in skype.
also it seems to me that the problem might be in post processing. I don't know the specifics but when you render a long video the sound might start to skip ahead after a while. (like in every coaching tree / ducksoup video I've watched lately
)
Lots of excellent discussion. The audio isn't too bad, you can hear Vanessa quite clearly. A lot of stinkpaw's audio is out of sync, but it's not that important to hear the reasoning behind his misplayed hands. The video is definitely watchable and worth watching.
DC Community,
I have redone the audio to the best of my ability. The speed on it is definitely better. We'll work to find better forms to increase our quality.
