What's that sound, making me depresseder...

Dagnammit!

Having discovered that my new phone (currently "on it's way") has them there apps, I looked into what there be!

Ooooh! Earthworm Jim, Myst AND Riven! And... THE 7TH GUEST (with The 11th Hour on the way!)

Ah memories! So I got the new remastered soundtrack, then thought to recreate my old tape with the opening audio.

Firstly - the poem. Can I find an audio clip anywhere? Can I buggery sod as like! I'm sure I had it before... I can even hear Henry Stauf reciting it!

So, on to YouTube for the main opening narration. Ah, I forgot the hilarity of "she was coming home from choir practice" segment. But the sound - truly dreadful. The music is too loud for the narration.

And my laptop doesn't have an internal soundcard, so it records by mic, so the telly overlapped the recording. Re-record again...

A-ha! The CD-i version is pure audio! Simple - overlay that voice track with the one with music, and get a damn good section.

Mergey mergey... sounds fab! Hold on...

Damn it - the 2 versions have different frame rates, so they start to get out of synch.

Cut, reposition, cut, resposition, reposition, zoom in, resposition, zoom in, resposition...

Feck it! I'll just overlay the audio onto the CD tracks!

Dammit - the Dolls Of Doom is too short!

This is only 7 minutes long... and it's taken 3hrs to get 2min done :( I dread to thinks how my War Of The orlds revamp (with the complete Richard Burton audio and addition FX/sections) will take!
