For Danny and Najeroux
If this works I promise to fine tune the delivery, technology and sound issues. It’s just an idea … that may spark other ideas.
Step 1: Record long winded rambling
Step 2: Save as .wav file cos I can’t figure out how to make it into an mp3
Step 3: Sign up to 4shared as I have nowhere to host it
Step 4: Try and figure out how to make it appear in a browser instead of as a download
Step 5: Give up and link to the download
Step 6: Hope to hell I don’t sound like a complete moron
- link to .wav file
- streaming mp3 (thanks to Paul – you’re hired!)

Listening now, Redbubble Radio sounds an excellent idea. And talking over the end of the song, the hallmark of all top radio presenters :) Do you not need a license to broadcast music, or does that not apply to podcasts? Who knows, filling a few minutes of silence anyway so good work!
Natalie Tyler
replied
Er. I think this would have to be an ‘unofficial thing’ due to my lack of professionalism and I’m not sure about the licencing issues. This is a case of me running with an idea … it may be short lived!
Paul McClintock
I could turn this into an mp3 for you if you want.
Natalie Tyler
replied
That would be awesome.
Paul McClintock
Redbubble needs a podcast.
Natalie Tyler
replied
Yes … I think we might be on to something here.
Paul McClintock
Alright, I’m gonna post this via my blog, as it would take too long to sign up to a filesharing site… one moment.
Natalie Tyler
I love the internet.
Paul McClintock
Streaming Mp3
Paul McClintock
Now that I’ve turned it into an Mp3, I can actually listen to it.
Natalie Tyler
replied
Brilliant! You’re hired. I can see the hit count too which is a bit scary …
Paul McClintock
You know, I didn’t expect you to have an aussie accept.
Natalie Tyler
replied
I’m just putting one on ;)
Matt Simner
and I downloaded all 54.8mb :p – nice (and quick) work Paul. Nat – just love it. I’m sure the idea will evolve into all sorts of things, but for now Led Zep’s on in the background and that’s just cool with me. :)
Natalie Tyler
replied
I’m glad you approve of the musical selection … :)
Paul McClintock
buh… accent!
rubyred
That was strange (in a good way) I’d like RedBubbleRadio streaming all day at work please.
Natalie Tyler
replied
Haha. Yes. In retrospect it’s all a bit weird. If I’d have thought this through then common sense may have prevailed ;)
Paul McClintock
Common sense is for … those other people!
Natalie Tyler
replied
Haha. Yes. The sensible people. Who wants to be one of those eh …
rubyred
No, no, no – common sense is not a good idea. Weird and strange is the way to go.
Natalie Tyler
replied
I was more comfortable with just strange ;)
Tania Rose
RB radio? Brilliant!
Diesel Laws
Hey Nat, if you need an intro clip (like my one here for Blankbots) let me know…

Diesel Laws
The music/voice over I am talking about to clarify :D
Natalie Tyler
replied
An intro clip you say? Hmmm … I’m liking this idea. I’ll put it on the brainstorming list ;) Thanks DL.
Paul McClintock
Diesel, you’s got good production values.
Natalie Tyler
replied
Yes folks … that’s how it’s done professionally!
Diesel Laws
Thanks, and it’s ok to ramble….just make sure you have a very soft instrumental track underath your voice and it doesnt sound as slow eheheh :D Worked for me…then I continued to ramble and it went way outa control…
P.s. I use Tracktion2 to record my audio. You can also have many layers – dont know if its free tho. But you can use Audacity I believe
Natalie Tyler
replied
Yep. That’s what I used but I couldn’t figure out how to convert to mp3. It was trying to locate another program I didn’t have.
Natalie Tyler
I’d like to hear some other voices so if anyone else can figure out how to do this then go ahead and upload something. There’s no way you can sound any more weird than me shouting over Led Zep. Perhaps we need a rough guide on how to record and link to an audio clip?
Paul McClintock
I wish I had a microphone – I might be able to sticky tape a broken headset back together… hmm…
Natalie Tyler
replied
I like this DIY, improvisational approach. It’s like pirate radio …
robpixaday
OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot diggety!!!!!!!!!!!! RedBubbleAudio!!!!!!!!!
(((happydance)))
Nat you sound super!
I’ve been hoping for something like this ever since I arrived here!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Need to go figure out how to make this happen…
MANY thanks!!!!
Natalie Tyler
replied
I have never seen so many exclamations in one comment before! And a green alien man. This is quite overwhelming ;)
robpixaday
And I restrained myself…....LOL
Seriously: this is good stuff. VERY happy to see/hear it!
:)
Nick Ford
This sounds interesting …. ears instead of eyes aye?
Natalie Tyler
replied
A soundtrack to go with creating our art and a way for us all to know each other a little better :)
Danny
I used Grant Bisset’s new site to post my Monkrock music
here
Natalie Tyler
replied
Of course. Why didn’t I think of that. Will check it out …
Danny
btw thanks for the dedication, Kashmir was the name of my second band :)
naj is a music guru
jemimalovesbigted
hehehehe! you really are uber cool miss Nat!
Natalie Tyler
replied
Hahaha … I’m not sure about that. You have listened to the recording right? ;)
Juilee Pryor
blimey can you imagine listening to the forums go off on the radio while your trying to do some work…. seriously I’m going to need asprin just to think about it….. :)
Natalie Tyler
replied
We’d need some sort of 95% music 5% talk rule I think ;)
RPGesus
want me to dig up some public domain music tracks for in-between rants?
Natalie Tyler
replied
haha … this will be rant free radio ;) i’d be up for some pd music tracks!
MuscularTeeth
lol
Paul McClintock
Or hell… we could just record our own songs… I’ve got some embarrassing home made shitty music that’ll never be a radio hit!
Natalie Tyler
replied
Awesome. It will go well with my incoherent ramblings …
robpixaday
Wooohoo!!
Not to worry…no more singing from me. It was just the quickest test I could do; had it on hand.
MuscularTeeth
DL certainly knows his stuff, audacity is good.
Natalie Tyler
replied
I just downloaded it this morning. Really easy to use!
robpixaday
Whoops. Wrong link. Here’s the correct one. Earplugs might come in handy.
Natalie Tyler
replied
This is your singing voice?!
Natalie Tyler
replied
If this is your singing voice then that’s INCREDIBLE!!!
Paul McClintock
I’ve just installed audacity… still looking for sticky tape however.
Natalie Tyler
replied
will glad wrap work?
Juilee Pryor
nah listening to other people’s taste in music sounds much worse than listening to to the forums go off live ….. :)
Paul McClintock
My guitar is missing a string… is that a problem?
Natalie Tyler
replied
It would be more of a problem if it was missing all the strings …
MuscularTeeth
if you can afford it, buy sony acid pro. freaking awesome, its what i use. infinte number of layers.
robpixaday
Yes…that’s me….....LOL….Thank you!!!! I set the blog up as a joke and did songs very badly on purpose. Occasionally one or two (like this one) sounded decent, but I left them up anyway.
I used to teach music, have been wanting to get back to composing and performing. Maybe I’ll do some music to accompany my images, not certain.
You’re very kind!! Thanks again!
Paul McClintock
It’s just one of the middle strings… not that important…
MuscularTeeth
and withut trying to steal DL’s notable thunder, i also make music (dodgy as it be). should you require something that doesnt fite DL’s wonder, let me know, i might have something to fit
Natalie Tyler
replied
Link us up to some samples MT … I’ve heard some of your work on the vids you produce. This post is a sharing link fest … so feel free to plug your stuff :)
Cathie Tranent
@ Paul. It’s only a problem if it’s missing two strings, cause then you’d be a bass player LOL!!
Earthmonster
We’re working on it Nat.
eon .
BRILLIANT STUFF KEEP AT IT PLEASE
C J Lewis
LOL … this is classic and I LOVE your complete honesty here … going off to listen :))

Natalie Tyler
replied
Excellent. You can be in charge of some expensive recording equipment and our credibility ;)
Paul McClintock
I finally found a microphone that works… and that means it is now time for bed.
Chanel2
Very cool Natalie.
Scott Robinson
Ha! What fun!
I`m seriously going to have to try this out.. Hearing peoples voice would be a huge blast..

You have totally made my morning. I’ve just dragged myself out of bed and now I’m singing along with you and Robert Smith to Love Cats. This rules.
Paul McClintock
Nice choice on Love Cats.
Pip Gerard
very exciting. RB mixed tapes (but in mp3)
