Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Hey guys!
Hello!
It's been a while since we've last done the recording, right?
Because we skipped the last one.
Yeah.
Right, so how are you?
I'm doing great, thank you.
Good?
I'm so sorry for this late.
Oh yeah!
I late...
Tell me what happened today.
One hour, right?
So sorry.
How did that happen?
No, I actually came from my parents' house.
Okay, okay.
From Chiba.
And I changed the train at one place, and I missed that.
Oh, okay.
You were supposed to transfer.
Yeah.
In that direction, I took that direction.
The other direction, it went the other way.
Like Saitama.
Yeah.
I went to like Koshigaya.
Oh no!
I was actually reading on the train, and I was completely in the...
Focus mode.
...the book world.
Yeah.
And I haven't, you know...
You didn't realize that you were...
Yeah, because I thought I was on the right train.
Yeah, I get it.
So I just focused on the reading.
That happens.
Wait, Koshigaya?
Yeah.
What was that?
Koshigaya?
Like you heard the announcement.
Yeah, I heard the announcement.
Koshigaya.
Yeah.
What?
Koshigaya?
That doesn't sound familiar.
Yeah.
What's that?
What?
Wait.
Yeah, so we did the one in Saitama.
Koshigaya, Rekutai, Koshigaya.
Yeah.
What?
Wait, wait.
Oh no!
And I just get off the train.
Yeah.
It went the other way.
Yeah.
That happens a lot, too.
Oh no, don't worry about it.
I mean, I was doing all this...
What happened to you?
...machine stuff.
Okay, so on my end...
Yeah, yeah.
...first of all, the people, all you guys that were listening on Amazon, the Amazon exclusive
version, two of the episode had an audio problem.
What a surprise, right?
Having an audio problem, what a surprise, right?
Two of the episode had like this, I don't know, this noise.
Yeah.
Splashy.
Yeah, you heard it last time, right?
Yeah, like this.
Like...
That kept on going for the whole episode.
I'm so sorry about that, guys.
Yeah.
I'm going to try to...
By the way, I love that face.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Call out on camera.
I consulted with Amazon.
They suggested on trying to do the noise...
Okay.
...and I'm going to try that, see if it's better.
Yeah.
Then I'm going to re-upload it, if that makes it any better.
Thank you.
If not, then...
Too bad.
03:00
And, you know, with all this trouble, like, you know, we've...
Yeah.
...now what we're doing is we bought an SD card.
Yeah.
And we stuck it in here.
You know, this... the problem that the Amazon engineer told us was that, you know...
Like, two weeks ago, we invited three special guys.
Three guys, yeah.
Three Amazon music specialists.
Yeah.
One doesn't even speak that much Japanese.
That's a professional.
Yeah.
The reason why Amazon, you know, hired him is just a skill.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, the command...
Yeah.
The moment that guy came in the room, we were all forced to speak in English.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The communication level just all went down.
I just...
I saw it in the room.
Well, like...
Yeah.
Anyways, they pointed out that we're not using the machine in its right forms.
We're trying to connect two iPhone systems through here, and that wasn't designed here.
What was designed for, one should be, you know, recorded on an SD card or like an external something.
But we didn't... we weren't using it that way.
So...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe using it the proper way might help, you know?
Yeah.
So now we are recording through this machine.
Yeah.
Into like this SD card.
Yes.
And also... what?
Record that video.
Yes.
Through the...
The... what do you call this?
Lines.
T...
What's that?
TRRS.
TRRS.
This is what the outline is called.
Oh, okay.
TRRS.
That's connected to the iPhone.
Of course.
And...
And also...
Yeah, iPad.
iPad.
Just a simple iPad.
Not connected to anything.
Yeah.
Just for backup.
Yeah.
We never know what's going to happen.
Yeah, true.
Oh.
See, this is what we've started with.
Yeah.
The original style.
Yeah.
You know, I just might go back to this one.
For real.
You know what?
I actually...
Yeah.
I actually brought this today.
You know, I thought we might...
Do you remember this?
Oh, of course.
I do remember that lovely...
This little guy.
I love that guy.
Remember we used to use this guy, you know?
At your house and everything.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I feel like this was probably the best usage so far.
You know?
Well, yeah.
You know, when you take into account all the troubles that we've had to deal with.
Yeah.
This guy didn't have any trouble.
You know?
Yeah.
Just pop it in an iPhone.
No noise.
No noise.
Fairly good quality.
Yeah.
You know?
Actually not bad, actually.
You know, we just might go back to this, you know?
Because the problem with this is that, you know, I...
You know, I test recorded like...
06:00
Yeah.
One, two, three tests.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like a 10-second audio file.
Yeah.
And that was 55 megabytes.
Are you...
55 megabytes for a 10-second audio?
That was like raw format.
And I was like, "So what's gonna happen if we start recording 10-minute episodes for
like for nine days?"
Yeah.
And I'm gonna have...
Right?
We're gonna have to upload that onto our normalizer service and then download it again and then
upload it.
And if that's gonna be a hassle, then we're gonna go back to this, okay?
Yeah.
This is...
I'm not...
I'm completely okay with that.
Right.
We're not taking any more shits...
That's great.
From the technologies.
Yeah.
I mean, we did all these things for, you know, make it better.
Yeah.
Make the audio quality better.
Yeah.
Make, you know, the audio delivery better.
Yeah.
What's going on here?
Come on.
Get it right.
Come on.
Get it right.
Come on.
Wow.
Yeah.
I don't know how they do it.
Yeah.
I don't know how all the other people do it.
Yeah.
True.
I don't got it.
I don't got it.
Yeah.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
Yeah.
Right.
They use that machine over there.
Another mixer, right?
The Amazon's mixer.
Yeah, Amazon's mixer.
Yeah.
You remember when we went to the Goto-san's podcast?
Yes, I do.
They use that machine.
Yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
But they just record one line, so.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
They didn't record video format.
Oh, true, true, true, true, true, true.
They were using it, I guess, the proper way.
Yeah.
I guess, you know?
Yeah.
Right.
Hmm.
Yeah.
I hope this works.
Yeah.
I really do.
I really do hope it works.
So this is the, you know, for the moment, the best way, right?
At the moment, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I wouldn't say the best, best.
Yeah.
Because the best, best, we've failed enough.
So now we're going with what's available.
Okay, great.
It's best out of what's available to us at the moment.
Right.
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you for all that.
Oh, yeah.
You searched so many products.
You buy so many, you know, little, like, connections, you know.
You search the little tiny Katabans.
You know what?
The thing is, every one of the possible solutions that the Amazon Pro Studio people gave me,
09:00
I've already went through every one of those.
I've already considered them.
Like the moment I bought this, there were, like, there has to be so many ways.
And I thought of every one of them.
And I tried every one of them.
And they all failed.
So I kind of knew that it wasn't going to work.
Okay.
Because I already tried.
Okay.
What a...
Bummer.
Bummer.
Yeah.
Bummer.
Damn.
I mean, you know, it's very likely that we might go back to this.
Yeah.
It's very likely.
Yeah.
Because we didn't have any trouble.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
True.
All right.
Okay.
So, I'm sorry for the unstable audio quality.
I really am sorry.
I really am sorry for that, guys.
And all those DMs, thank you for telling us that there's a problem with the episode.
That really helps, actually.
That's how I actually noticed the problems.
Yeah.
Right.
So, thank you.
Thank you guys for sharing with us.
Yeah, especially it's a podcast content.
So audio is the most important.
Very imperative.
Yeah.
So, all right.
Yep.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Bye.
