Though this interview with Nassim Haramein takes a while to begin it's worth
the wait.
DW: Yes, I am aware of Nassim's work and the fact that there are definite
crossovers. In particular Rod Johnson, our quantum-physics/sacred geometry
specialist, holds him in high esteem.
>I emailed Mike some time ago and he said that he was going to interview DW
so we'll just have to wait...
DW: Well, wait a minute, what did you want to know? Uh-oh, I better not ask
that in front of 800 of my friends at the same time... let's stick to the
biggest thing at hand.
OK, audio site news. Here goes:
We are working out the opening Flash animation for the new website and with
every pass it is getting more and more amazing looking. I still haven't
composed the music for it, but will probably need to find some kind of
foley/ movie special effects set of samples for a few custom touches that I
couldn't get with my current rig. So if anyone knows of a good set,
especially if it's a free public download, email me privately.
Well, in the meantime, contracts are being drawn up and signed, we've got
the Bellsouth T1 server ordered and on the way for the end of August and
we're feverishly working on the website so we can have something to put up
on the backup server before we even get the in-house server going. I
actually held back from activating clients that would have been on Sunday
and in one hour from now just so I could have more time to work on this
stuff, because the timing is crucial. The five-minute freebie MP3 downloads
that we'll put together, complete with music Larry and I have done, will
probably sell the audio site on their own.
I went through a long lesson today with my colleague Larry Seyer, the
nine-Grammy-winning recording engineer and co-producer with me of the
upcoming CD series "Science of Peace," and we worked out a protocol for the
highest quality streaming audio we could create that would still be
accessible for dialup AND broadband alike, so we don't have to break every
single file down into two pieces.
We discovered that the best MP3 encoder, size for sound quality, is Apple's
own ITunes player. The variable-bitrate 48K MP3s, at high quality settings,
end up streaming at about an average of 25K, which should be good enough for
dialup as long as people aren't clicking around too much or trying to load
other pages while listening. Even then it would still work but there might
be some interruptions. For voice it's almost as good as anything higher than
that - not enough of a discernible difference to be a problem.
I've got three different types of recordings, and now I'm kicking myself
that I was recording myself at 16-bit resolution these last 2 months in the
readings, just out of wanting more disk space, as this limits how much you
can maximize the volumes without getting distortion - and in the Podcasting
game you've got to be as loud as everyone else, so you have to push it as
high up as it will go without distorting.
My 16-bit files are pretty much stuck where they are, so the volume can't
quite make the distance, but with the 24-bit recordings I will be doing from
now on, we'll eliminate that problem as well. The source files are bigger
but I'll just have to get into the habit of routinely burning everything to
DVD so that it doesn't end up consuming the hard drive.
We're also going to do an interplanetary climate change database where you
can go through and see all the facts in a summarized form. This will
undoubtedly pave the way for many copycats and / or flat-out information
thieves to grab it and run with it, but at least we're going to get it out
there bigger and better than before, as part of the package to help sell the
movie to investors.
Anyway, we have not dropped the ball- it's just that starry-eyed
expectations sometimes have to meet with cold, hard facts, and it is taking
longer than I had expected. However I also know that the time will pay off
in the end.
Peace be with you -
- David
