I am posting two versions for now of my newest Uranium Café Beatcast which I have given the working title of No One Has Ever Returned which is a line from the Mario Bava film Hercules in the Underworld. Presented here is the song in its music only version, without the movie samples. I am a little proud of this one and it is my most ambitious beatcast to date in terms of getting it as right as I can. It is the longest one I have done in terms of duration and also has the most loops placed all over it. I am not happy with the Hercules samples and no doubt the song will reappear someday with a new movie as the source for the sampled dialog. But I think it might be cool to hear the two versions side by side. The second version, with Hercules samples, is a short edit since I got frustrated with the results and stopped working on it.

I also put up a couple screen captures of the software I use with shots of the work in progress. The first program is Sony Acid 6 and it the program that puts everything together and extracts the samples from films. A bit of a learning curve with this one but I can do basically what I want to do with it for my needs. It is what I do my podcasts on as well. The second piece of software is the more user friendly Audacity and I use it for some final editing processes such as ‘normalizing’ the entire recording and in the case of my podcast taking out areas where I do ‘uh’ or stutter.  Eventually expect some version of this song but I just wanted to get it up as I am pleased with the results overall.
