Update Blog 12-18-12

Hey everyone.

First of all I have to say that I've gotten so addicted to using the HQ broadcast on blogtv that I don't know how to broadcast in standard and have it sound good anymore.  Yes, I confess...lol

I just spent some time on my test channel trying to tweak, and relearn how to use the standard blogtv broadcast, and recorded a part of it.  Yeah, I've totally forgotten how to do this shit.  Since I'm off from work tomorrow I plan to spend some time on it.  Why do I care?  Well, it's simple, I want to bring live music back to the show and the only way I can use blogtv's cohost feature is to broadcast in standard and while I know the music mp3's and videos I play won't sound as good as when I use the HQ encoder it at least has to be heard and sound as good as it can. 

I've really gotten spoiled using the encoder, because it automatically compensates for what I like to call "redlining" when the sound starts to distort because it's turned up too loud on the broadcasters end and the "standard" method of broadcasting doesn't compensate for this.   How to get it loud, but not too loud is what I have to relearn on that format. 

On that note I'd love to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season, I'm sure we'll survive the Myan calender end of all time as well as the Zombie Apocalypse and I'm looking forward to a great 2013.

Lord knows we need it after how this year has been for many of us.  

Quick Update Blog

I think I might need to send out some emails on blogtv, from my old riskybusiness04 account.  I'm not 100% sure that the word got out that I moved the show to a new channel over there.

That being said, especially for a new channel and the format of the show (since I'm not a musician playing live) the stats have at least been comperable to when I was broadcasting on the previous channel.

For those of you that might not know (although I'm sure regular blog readers do) a couple of weeks back I moved the show to a new channel on blogtv. 

http://www.blogtv.com/people/indiespotlightlive is the new home for the show. 

Real blog coming soon....

Stop Jivin Start Drivin

Deb played this during her broadcast last night.  Great song and a great message.  BTW check out the the dudes boxers at about a minute and forty seconds in.....lol

Sweet Papa Dave Band to be featured on the Unsigned Musicians Show

This coming Wednesday starting at 9 pm (eastern) my good friend and colleague Deb will be featuring the music of the Sweet Papa Dave Band.

It's not normal for Deb to feature just one band, in fact it's really quite rare.  I can only remember a couple of times that she's done this and every time she has it's been well worth her while.

Please join us at the Unsigned Musicians show on blogtv this week, you won't regret it. 

New Blogtv Channel for the Show

As I announced on the show this past Sunday I'm moving the show to a new channel on blogtv.  Starting this coming Sunday (November 25th) I will be broadcasting the show at

The reason for the move is simple. 

The screen name should match the show name.

Please join us at our new home and don't forget to reset your bookmarks.  Happy Turkey Day everyone!
