A Scarey Return
We’re re-broadcasting last year’s Halloween special called So, You Really Want To Be Scared? The timing really lines up this year with the final episode of the series, which is called Halloween Night, will broadcast on Friday the 31’st of Oct.
These repeats always pose their own unique challenges. The largets issue with rebroadcasting shows from before April 08 is that we were using entirely different software to produce them. So we can’t easily just re-build the show. We’re mostly stuck with using the final mix from when it was broadcasted. This makes small changes just a tad harder. 
For example, last week’s show – part 1, had a few commercials in it that are out of date. They had to be cut out.. but they were mixed to fade in and out over the other segments of the show. Hard cuts in this case sound awful. One spot where I was forced to leave a fade out in is when Cory starts to talk at his last segment. He comes in after a music break. I had to replace the music because of comercial issues.. but of course I couldn’t cut the fading music behind his voice… so what I did was to fade the new music out quickly and also move Cory’s speaking around until both music fades were “in time” with each other. It actually worked out better than I expected.
Bless you all!
