From what I have heard, this remastering uses newly recorded stuff, but also reuses parts of the original podcast. That will account for the difference in audio quality.

But indeed the levels are sometimes off. I have encountered that problem as well.

BTW, the older version is an abridged version.

Will review this story later.

I guess you know that chapters 14 and 15 are the same file ?

I have the same problems as Steve. It sounds as if some audio sections were heavily compressed with filters applied to reduce the noise - giving it the “hollow” tin can sound. Also, the audio levels are not consistent per voice. Sometimes I can’t pickup some of the voices so I’d have to boost up the volume on my iPod. The next voice blares too much.

I’ve never listened to Morevi and I wanted to go through it fresh with the remastered version, but I’ll probably have to listen to the older version instead. Pity.

I never heard the original format, but I absolutely love this story. The political intregue and the wonderful characters keep it moving along, and the voice acting is astounding! Keep it up!

I’m wondering if I’m listening to the same files as everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the story, it’s great; but the quality of the audio has been terrible. It sounds like this gets recorded in several different locations using different equipment. Sometimes the reader sounds fine, sometimes it sounds like he’s reading inside a 55 gallon drum… and it changes in the middle of a segment of dialog which leads me to think it’s been edited together from recordings done at different times and possibly in different locations. Sometimes it’s bad enough that the same character will sound like it’s being voiced by a different person in the middle of a paragraph and change back in the next paragraph. Am I getting the wrong files…?

My sincerest apologies to everyone. Word got back to me that my files were having issues and not following PB.com standards. Files have been reloaded and postings are all up to date and set.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled swashbuckling…

Tee really thought up a lot of new things to put in, and it sounds great. Heard it on the 7th Son feed.
