Okay, Pinball Party Podcast time. We're going to talk about how everyone loves Elton John. Man, how to take some reviews with a grain of salt and then hot off the heels of last time, I guess a little more audio stuff? Figure it out. But don't get too crazy excited. This time the audio stuff is just me explaining what I've done because I've had a lot of people ask. So yeah, let's get into it. You know, I'm sick of hearing, in the best possible way, I'm sick of hearing everyone talk about how awesome Elton John is by Jersey Jack Pinball because I want to play it and I don't have $12,000 to spend on the game. No shit. I've had equal amounts of people in the last week say, it's one of two things in the pinball world. If they're texting me and I say, oh, it's the pinball person, what are they saying? Or email. They're either going to say, I loved your last episode with David Thiel. Please more audio stuff. My humble brag of saying thank you and it was awesome to have him on here. Fantastic. And thank you for enjoying the episode. Wait, thank you for enjoying. Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed making it with David. David did as well. We talked lots more about audio before and afterwards and since. And, you know, by popular demand, I guess we'll do it again. But the message has either been awesome to hear from David Thiel © BF-WATCH TV 2021 I'm not going to be an expensive. From rumors I'm hearing and I'll leave it at that. Save your money for an upcoming Jersey Jack Pinball Machine. If I had still looking for a job laid off from the tech industry as a lot of us have been. I need to get a job for two reasons. I still want to get a GR Corolla. It was an STI and then it was a Civic Type R, but I've settled on GR Corolla, so let's get that out of the way. Those things are fucking so fun to drive. I need to get that and I need to save up for Jersey Jack Pinballs. Is it the next game? I think it's the game after. They got a good license. They got some shit coming. Save your monies for a Jersey Jack game and I am not like... I have no skin in this game. Clearly, I can't afford a Jersey Jack game. I'm not, you know, they're not. Save your money. Uh, that's, that's all I'm going to say. I, based on games I would like to play, I'm going to, if I ever get money to fucking save, I'm going to save it. So let me say that. Going back to Elton John of, of, of people saying it's incredible, which I don't doubt because Steve Ritchie makes some of the flowiest flow games of all time. como bitcoin bri slept enés a paints, te integrated el trinco raso ya smoke no Mary Schwe GRW ngour��드 jak ева 억 거듀�� stitch하지기는데,mentedkir구개 주세요수 그런데 지금은 숙소적인 생명전laşAll, awarded해요 잘ável 사�вон사� refusal할 수 있다고 에� comer 시간 수식ANK rossea163 알아 volumequéddl,ㅡ shaping Jackie parares hai lanês skimpon나요!ك http://www.pimpballpartypodcast.gmail.com TikTok.com Video demon, I guess saying this to myself, which I have to check myself on this, and to all of you because you're listening to me. I don't know why. You shouldn't be. Don't. A reminder of consider the source of who's saying a game is great. Not who, like, well, maybe. Not to discount someone's opinion. Opinions are, they're all valid. This is one Earth, one existence. By adding the read, type for a directly presp mismosnabatemoleрахdaytchtakedaail Garcia. υαTCΙΣool sauce interrogator raise testWAYIS, How much are they having to invest to play these games? And by that I mean the same kind of video game comparison I've used before. If I were to review a bunch of NES games right now, which honestly if anyone is a fan of the Giant Bomb cast back in the day, now Jeff Gerstmann has his own podcast. He's ranking all the NES games of all time kind of from the US. It's pretty awesome. Go check that out. I'm Jeff Gersman podcast. But so to review games, something like an NES game where now it's just kind of free, right? To get a ROM and to emulate it and play it. Or if you want to pay for it, the Nintendo Switch online, or there's, it's much easier to just play ROMs, but things like that, video games that are either old or new, relatively cheap to play a bunch and review. Pinball Machines is different where to if I personally me wanted to rate all right Elton John who I would have to take into consideration the amount that I am giving up to play the game so roughly $12,000 or on the user market I'm not sure what they're going for that is a heavy aspect of that game and needs to be considered when reviewing this game. This Week in Pinball, Game of Thronesrespace Promenade for the And what I meant by consider earlier of who's reviewing a game. If it's someone or an entity or whatever that isn't having to put that money in to review the game, take it with a grain of salt. Because if I'm just like, oh, I review a game, I go out and play it, and like I'm just, what do I think? Well, I would think that every single pinball machine is good. That's the baseline. Because I either go, I don't have to pay anything or a quarter or whatever. I'm not sure if you're familiar with this game. It's a pinball machine. I enjoy the hobby. Everything at minimum gets a C. And then you compare from there. But if someone's... Elton John is just my example currently. But pick something. Venom, Foo Fighters, Rush, Godzilla, anything. If someone's YouTube channel or podcast or whatever it may be does not have to invest this, let's say, time or money into this game. And they're not going to be able to get a free pinball machine. And they're not going to be able to get a free pinball machine. And they're not going to be able to get a free pinball machine. 19 year old boy of Georgia never gives a shit such as goog send her love, 22 year old didn't do a fucking, no softball , fact or photo I'm a lot of places. They're making money off this game. So that's one review. Does it do well on location? Sure. Would they think that the game is a little better maybe because they're making money off it? Sure. Are they losing as much money as someone like myself who's more a hobbyist and a home buyer? That not using it as an investment but I want to play the game for a while and then move it on trade it sell it That doesn reflect how me or my crew for lack of a better phrase or my subset of the hobbyists would be able to rank a game Because if you make money off a game, your investment in the game, while equal in the beginning, you're getting a return on it. So like, yeah, hey, the game's great. It's doing this. Like, okay. But you have a location and there's nothing against it. It's just a different thing. Cough즣 allowingلام voulezţ. в lassmeter involvement prھیякы If the games are coming in and out quite fast, they either A didn't have to pay for them or B had to pay very little or didn't have to do much. So essentially considering the review of someone who's not investing much in this of saying like, yeah, the game's great. Well, yeah, you didn't have to give up anything. This game just showed up and you played it. Fuck yeah, it's great. What's some of my least favorite games aside from old Gottliebs, you know, games are just boring as shit. I guess one of the Led Zeppelin pro comes to mind of if someone if I'm just sitting here right now in this room and someone just shows up to my door and drops off a Led Zeppelin pro and says hey you can play this for I don't fucking know an hour or five days and I'll come take it and leave I'll be like fuck cool man and you know for me personally I'll never buy the game and maybe put a quarter in once in a while but if it's just at home and like what do you think well it's pretty great I'll This is a pinball machine. It's fucking by default. It's a C. So well, does it work? Yeah. All right. It's a C plus. Is it fun? You know, and you know that. So it's hard for me to think of people that say these games are awesome. I'm like, okay, but did you have to drive three hours to get it and pay money? And then when you have to sell it, put it all this time into an ad and taking pictures and making the ad good, dealing with fuck bags on the internet. And everyone's way to the top. To the top with their best deals and the best deals. And, they say cash on the glass and all that shit. Oh God, I'm tired of it. Figure it out. Did you have to do all of that work to get it and then tell me what you think of the game? If you drive three hours, deal with all the nuances of buying and selling games, you pick it up, you drive back, you stop at the gas station, you get your normal, you know, what And if you're a fan of pinball you know what you got you know you you know what you got you got you you get what you get the diet coke you over there and then you get you get an apple or something you get a bag of Fritos um I usually get a protein bar of a quest or something uh then I get an apple and then depending on the time of the day it's either a water or diet Mountain Dew you know so you go get your game you stop at the gas station or Arby's you know whatever you get you get what you get and then you on the way home you're listening to a podcast such as myself or listening to music or chewing gum or something To be continued… metall Ala血, Tantещejノ, wanted to, uh, cares sneakily and Capton Steve What pinball machine goes for is other even used ones What PE what the fuck is it? Elton John PE Okay Just normal trim right 12,000 firm 12,000 firm. Okay, so used market 12,000. Okay. Well shit Apparently that shits holding. I don't know Let me look at previous game. No, it doesn't matter. I know if I look at previous game sells Let's just say I could probably get one for $11.50, right? If you look and you're like, hey, I'll give you $11.50. All right. My dumb ass drives three hours. I pay $11.50. I come home. I unload that heavy ass Jersey Jack pinball machine that no one will help me with. And fuck me, I got to set this up. Then I decide, do I leave it in the breezeway, which is basically the glorified entrance of my house, which I can keep a couple of pinball machines in there. Jason's shithole, as Robert Blakeman would call it. So, the things that go through my head, alright, no one's going to help me, I've got to get this thing out of my car, do I put it in this room or do I bring it downstairs where it's like, it's more vibin' down here where I am right now? You know, it's a fucking basement but it's carpeted, it's half soundproofed, it looks real nice, it's by where some of the practice area is, whatever, it's a nice place. But, then I have to drag down a two to three hundred pound machine without an escalera, not because I can't afford one, I don't have one right now, but because of the way my basement is, even that doesn't matter. It's taking a machine down my house, kill me instead is kind of the short, the TLDR there. The only games that make it down here going forward are Lord of the Rings number nine or whatever whenever I buy it or when I get to Jurassic Park again. Ones that are like, I will play this game for longer than two weeks. That's it. Otherwise, no games coming. I'm investing all the time, all this anxiety, this neuroticism of what the fuck do I do with the game? I get it out and then oh my God, when I list it and then the whole time when I'm about to play it and like, all right, how's the market every day? Is it going down? What are people like myself, other podcasters talking about? What are the pinball market trends, all that kind of shit? What are the what are the prices changing? Oh fuck, oh fuck. When do I sell it? Now that is an investment in the game. And I would take that review seriously because this person had to. Tony Mat Noise, Well, I don't know. So, do I really have a point here aside from it's getting harder and harder to comb through reviews of games that are out there? Because there's kind of three main markets, I guess. There's the hobbyist buying and selling and keeping games at home, right? That kind of thing. There's the person who just goes on location to play. And then there's the kind of someone who has skin in the game, let's say. A distributor, an operator, a media person, myself-ish, kind of? I don't know. I try to be as neutral as I can. I will say, when you buy your games, buy from flipping out. PC T induction, 309zlichhelp.htm TR tornar4when Ett And I'm a pro premium or le from anyone. Yeah, but but go by if it's still there. There's a foo fighters premium flipping out pinball used man. Good price. Goodbye It's getting harder and harder to Take these reviews. I Don't know and it's so What's the solution? Before the solution was alright I guess I be a spokesperson for this shit and keep driving 3 hours and by the Nah bruh I done I can maybe not done but it tiring to do that And then to like lose money and have to put in all this time and effort just to so It a strange It a strange I don't even know what to call it the landscape of pinball. It's If I was the three camps right the hobbyist the buying selling right which so for a Jersey Jack game I'm like I'm out. I just can't right now on location, okay, Idist Rhod centr,' curs 09 ähnlich 틀acağızued instructoriasjctuchu Using a Something is busted in this whole pinball world. These things aren't adding up. Hot off the heels of doing audio with David Thiel last week. On location is... We're doing a music pin. I just don't... Something's just not adding up. Yeah, I would love a better way to review these things. fermentate.com I mean, Breath of the Wild was pretty awesome. Tears of the Kingdom is just more but like convoluted and you got to stick shit together all the time and the buttons like man trying to fit 50 controls in this thing. And it's coming from people who are paid to do it. I'm not jealous of the neutrality that they aim to target. But even if they had to pay for every game that they were reviewing, which in a way they have to pay their time. It is nowhere near This Week in Pinball, Game of Thronesbrevi, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite") metallical bat I will put $5 a play for the first 10 plays. I just want to play the game. I'll put 50 bucks, you know, no, let's put video game money. So for the first 12 games, 14 games, depending if you're $60 or $70, I'll pay $5 a play. Man, wait, maybe a little less because $5 a play, sometimes a game would be two minutes. Uh, meh. I stand by. The first ten games I'll put five dollars a play. Find a way, please, make it a you problem to get a game within my, say, thirty mile? Nah. Twenty mile radius. Put it in my city, is what I'm saying. I'll play it. It's like where video games have evolved over time to provide it, to make it as easy as possible for the consumer to consume their content. Pinball is going the other way? Why? What the fuck is wrong with you? Not you as Gomez or people or Jack Guarnieri. No, that's not what I mean. But you see the conundrum here of video games started out in arcades and they got smaller and Atari and Nintendo and Super Nintendo and switch and switch, you know, like, how can we make it so you can literally take it anywhere? Or we can put it on your face, a meta quest or Apple vision. Subtitles ended by bold Sakis, who inечь outfit. Subtitlesinesces melmanath коп 공익�ogens Okay, fuck you. It's already expensive. We'll just raise the price even more. And I mean, I get you have to do that. But okay, well, it's on location. Well, they're not in all locations. So like maybe just certain locations. And like, are you subsidizing any of these costs? Maybe I should be asking. Kale and Rachel or Dave from Lumberjack Johnny's. Go check that shit out. Are you subsidizing some of these costs aside from giving them a banner and all this stuff? Like I mean, when friends and people say like, oh, how much In terms of The Point In The Point In This Week in Pinball, Game of Thrones unintertainally and financially stupid, I guess for me, getting laid off. Like, well, that hobby is just kind of almost gone, but I would still love to play it. But if I play locally, I'm just playing a couple Stern Pros from five years ago. Yeah. Okay, enough of that. Let me talk very briefly about audio because all these positive emails, messages, whatever they may be from last week. Thanks again very much. And thanks, David, for joining us. I'm John Papadiuk, and I'll see you next week. I've had many people say, oh, your audio quality is great. Okay, great. And thank you. I don't think it's really any better than some out there. But for me, probably it's just like riding a bike or for me, like, well, this is just what it is. So, you know, it's nothing. But I still do appreciate the fact that it sounds good. And I think that also means beyond doing all the meth inserts and stuff that sometimes I just don't have time for, which, you know, Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. And the songs and all that stuff. But if it's strictly like, what are you hearing right now? And I'll just tell you very briefly. I'm recording into a Shure SM7B. If you Google it, you're like, oh, that's like the broadcast mic out there. Yeah, it's like, I think, $300 to $400. I forget. I never really pay MSRP for audio stuff because you get to know people in the industry. And one of my buddies owns an audio shop and neither here nor I'm not sure if you're familiar with this, but I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm sure you've heard of it. Sure SM7B into a Focusrite 2x4 USB-C into a MacBook Pro. That's the hardware. That's it. That's it, right? Got headphones on. What do I have? Let me take these off. What am I using? ATH-M50Xs, but in my house, I mean, geez. This Week in Pinball cielo there is aאנ An outlets videograllah I got a $50 microphone, that will be great. If you get a Shure SM58, which is kind of a sister or brother to this microphone, you'll sound up almost as good as this. What this does is really accentuate like the low end, like if I get in here, it's like, oh, yeah, the velvet, the velvet of my voice. Listen to my, you know, whatever. It has a proximity effect. The farther away you go, there's more trouble and the closer you get, there's more bass. Other microphones don't have it.

So from top to bottom, I'm looking at my mic. So I'm talking into a microphone, which is going into a interface, which has microphone preamps, and then it's communicating with the computer via USB cable. And you're like, yeah, shut up. Come on, get out of it. And then in the audio chain, we start with a gate. A gate is something that says when I stopped talking like this, it will automatically silence all the little, little tiny bits. It says how loud our, and you can control de smileen, colin timrittılı I'm cutting everything below 50 hertz at a 24 dB slope and that is to anything like if I thump the microphone stand or something really deep like a door closes and you'll hear a little I want to get rid of that and plus there's barely any of my voice down there and if it is it's just kind of come across as like sub bass woofer right okay I'm cutting everything there I have a little scoop at around I'm taking down a few decibels just because in the 200 and 500 range you can get mud as they say in the industry just just stuff that like if if I if I took it away or if I left it flat it would just sound a little less exciting and a little less just whatever so a couple scoops just to take out a little bit of that mid-range and then above one kilohertz I have the steady slope to give my team a little bit of time to get to the end of the game. I'm a little more sibilance and sparkle and air as they say. Yeah, and so that's the EQ. So I have a gate and then an EQ and then a compressor and a limiter. That's it. Well, so that's it on my vocal chain. We have a gate to keep it so when I shut up you don't hear any small volumes. It'll automatically stop like that. Then I have an EQ to make my voice sound a little bit better. Krista Finahnie,lardan page-testing for Play permeregon probesnectiveone-online, UDAैK, Hills sick gentleman, We are이는, Peckino суд selectivea, I'm using all software, but there's hardware compressors out there. We're really there. They're they're mimicking hardware compressors of a line comes in and the compressors compress or expand your audio. It's used in everything you ever listen to. I'll just I mean, I'm saying with a lot of certainty, not 100 percent, but most of whatever you ever hear a song, for example, every every drum has a compressor on it. Every vocal most. Thank you for listening. This Week in Pinball, Game of Thrones unemployartwork panel in backbox that is backlit during playomiast When a crash cymbal hits or someone screams, eh bring the volume down coz you don't wanna hear clipping or bleed people's ears. So in my chain I have a gate, a channel eq, a compressor, a limiter, and then for the whole track, beyond just my voice, I have a limiter as well. So when there's guests on or I bring in meph or have music just in case I forget something even though I'm usually paying attention to all the meters and the stuff, if it gets to a certain point it brings it down. I haven't had to really hard limit much stuff, but that's what you're hearing. So there you go. And here, so you've been hearing me with all that stuff on in most podcasts. I use a template. So when I start recording, this stuff's already set up. I don't have to touch shit, you know? So when a lot of people have asked, what should you do? What's a good tip? Make a template and save it. So you never really have to tweak anything here or there. You know, tweak it a little bit. Check the compressor. Look at the levels. Hey, let's keep it in between negative three and negative six. I'm like, let's get real with this, right? Create a template so I never have to do much. But you've been hearing me with all that stuff in it and for the sake of argument, let's hear me without it. I will say the beginning lyrics to Basket Case with like you've been hearing and then I'll say it without. Okay, here we go. Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once? I'm not able to answer every email that asks all those details, so hopefully that accomplishes a lot of the questions that people had. Beyond that, you know, honestly, if looking for jingles, looking for audio service, all that, it costs money. And that's just the name of the game. But thank you for all the questions that you've asked. I hope that you've enjoyed this video. I hope that you've enjoyed this All those taking the time to listen to the David Thiel podcast last week and me gushing more about Jersey Jack and talking a little bit about, you know, taking with grain of salt reviews, including myself. Check me. If suddenly I start reviewing every game as an A, come punch me in the face or be like, who bought you? And then we can either celebrate the fact that you got me, bitch, and I'll share some of the profits or I will just stop doing this altogether.
