edit Can you increase the volume for "Cracker Jack" recording?
Thanks for digitizing an audio file of my "Cracker Jack updates 'surprises'" Unnews article. I was excited to see it available in the audio format. Unfortunately, although I adjusted my computer's volume control and the one on the MP3 player, I could barely hear the audio. Is there any way that you could boost the file's volume? That would be great. Thanks Weebils 03:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC) Weebils
Thank you very much for the help w/ bringing my conspiracy theory in the In The Groove article up to Uncyclopedia standards. Make sure to read the article's talk page and Pee Review when you get a chance. Pentium5dot1 23:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to UnNews, and thank you for contributing some crap expressing an interest in becoming an UnNews audiocaster... or something. For a very quick introduction to the ins and outs, please take 30 seconds to read Help:How to write an UnNews article. Please note that proper formatting of an articles title has only the first word (after UnNews:) and proper nouns capitalized. The second offense of this cardinal rule gets your ass banned. Heh, just kidding... maybe.
Also, a perusal of HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article may help you sink to the average level of UnNews mediocrity, and go on to fame, fortune, and celebrity. Cheers!
As for doing the UnNews Audio Perpendicular Mambo, first you'll need software to record sound files on your computer. I currently use Cakewalk Sonar, but many other applications such as the freeware Audacity, or other commercial applications like Steinberg's Cubase and Pro Tools Digital Audio Workstation will be great.
Having that in place, there ar UnNews jingle files you can download, and add to your files here:
The file size information can be found on the info page of the audio which you've uploaded.
The procedure for setting up your file for podcast is a secret freemason thingy which Olipro and I currently manage. I'm around almost daily, so I look for new audio files to delete fix, or whatever. If you get hung up with any of these steps, let me know, or alternately check out #unnews and #uncyclopedia on IRC.
Why don't you let us hear a couple of your audios before I add you to the Team officially? A couple of questions: Where are you from (alternately, where would you like to say you're from), will you be writing? Do you IRC? I can meet you there now if you're still around. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk)I am the dirt under your rollers 21:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Update: I've just listened to your first. Nice job, but I noticed a choppy quality to the audio. what software are you using? I'm not really expert in audio, but I'm gathering little facts to create a database of advice for the insane... no, that's not it... anyway... cheers, and well done! Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk)I am the dirt under your rollers 21:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Bad timeing, I have to medicate my dog which will take a while, but I'll add you as a American correspondent, writer. As for IRC, I haven't been hanging there in the last couple of months, but... I forgot what I was thinking... oh... never mind... anyweh, nice work and welcome aboard, matey! Argh! Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk)I am the dirt under your rollers 22:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
It encourages me to know you understand the funcamental principle of UnNews audios... quantity also a quality. Nice comments, unprofessional, it has all the earmarks of UnNews and mayo on toast. Cheers! Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk)I am the dirt under your rollers 17:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hah, thanks. I'm feeling a little sick so I decided to spin up the ol' GustavBot to do my news for me. Hope I don't get replaced though... --love, gustavtalk at menope 17:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate your cliched peace pie and raise your bet by my own wishes of wellbeing. Thanks Flufs! --love, gustavtalk at menope 23:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that I love your changes to this article (didn't read it until today). You have a great humor style of starting up completely unexpected jokes, leaving them, then hitting them again, without deviating too far from the main premise of the article. I especially loved the the "shindig" commentary (especially how you came back to it right after the "dealing with loonies" line), the "strength to endure" commentary, the repeated questioning as to whether the suicidal girl was Asian, etc.
Keep up the good work! -- Rei 22:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks...nice to know SOMEONE appreciates me =) --love, gustavtalk at menope 23:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't even know you wrote it until after the nom. I just thought it was fucking hilarious. --love, gustavtalk at menope 03:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
You compete with me, the great zim, for shitty background noises in your recordings?!? You've got balls! Nice work dude. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk)I am the dirt under your rollers 14:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Some times, I'll run the microwave while I do 'em. One recording (can't remember which one), I did the dishes while I recorded it. You can hear the water running, and the clanging of pots. --love, gustavtalk at menope 16:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I hadn't really been paying much attention in Uncyclopedia recently, but I saw your HowTo in the Village Dump post about my name change and cracked up. Not only is it extremely flattering that someone wrote an article about my crazy (former) name, it's also very funny and well-written. You deserve a little something as a sign of my approval:
It was completely different when i recorded it...when someone rewrites an article after I record it they can like request a re-record but that's all. I didn't rewrtie it if that's what you're asking. --love, gustavtalk at menope 20:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, okay. Yes I did, but only because I try to keep the audio in place rather than revert it. Usually I ix-nay any IP edits too, but in this case since there seems to be a desire to keep the other version I'll re-record if you guys want me to. --love, gustavtalk at menope 21:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
"I found it inside a weird chest placed mysteriously in Lava Mountain. Still haven't figured out what it does, so keep it in your inventory, it may come in handy to eliminate a dancing mushroom."
So nice to support me on Bensons page. Thank you. It's always good to see bystanders at an accident kicking the corpses. Is that what you do for a living? D.G.Neree 23:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Then I assume kissing asses is your other hobby? D.G.Neree 14:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I award you with this Dutch medal for your bravery and your hilariously funny attribution to the discussion on the Dick Sonson page. Congratulations and please note that I will nominate you for a statue on the main square of Beneenhufter. You are a jewel for Uncyclopedia! D.G.Neree 15:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Mr. D.G.Neree made me aware of your irritating memo regarding his leave to Sonson. I think that you are a slimeball and a hufter and therefor added you to my Beneenhufter-list. Ain't it good feeling ? Byebye. Ikke 16:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I've read the greater part of Sonson's contributions and the corners of my mouth moved only twice. Will you explain to me what's so funny about Sonson ? Tnx. Ikke 23:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Listen man, if your leaving because of me, don't! I was and am pissed off with this benson... guy(?) and just reacted to your comment on his discussion page. 2 guys from the dutch site came to help me. They don't have very much to do with uncyclopedia as they (& I) are writing over there. So why don't you just tell me to go to hell and you just keep on writing here?
PS if this hasn't to do with me, then I suggest you just tell everybody to go to hell & you keep on writing here. D.G.Neree 21:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
But to tell you the truth: I'm a little sick of this place too. D.G.Neree 22:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
