FAQ
"What is Digital & Dice?"
Digital & Dice is a gaming podcast and YouTube channel hosted by Mark Boutet, Justin McCarthy, Brian Chamberlin, Amber Boutet, and Stephen Tabor. Nerds that live in Washington State and have just enough free time during their week (when they are not working and/or playing far too many games) to produce content. The podcast is centered around gaming news, in-depth discussions on game theory, very poorly done game reviews/previews, and pretty much anything else that is even vaguely gaming related.
"When are new episodes available?"
New episodes of the Podcast are available week or so on Mondays, with the episode being recorded live on the YouTube channel. New episodes of our Let's Play and Literal Torture videos are released every weekday. Very specific events can and will interrupt our regularly scheduled show including SCA events, gaming/anime conventions, sickness and timely/untimely death.
"What recording equipment/software/location do you use?"
We record with 2 AT2020 Audio-Technica XLR condenser microphones in Acoustica Mixcraft 8. We are currently using a Behringer XENYX 1204USB Sound Board with 2 additional basic microphones for recording our Let's Plays and Literal Torture videos. The whole thing is mixed down to MP3 format and posted to our RSS feed distributor Libsyn.com who sends it out to all our various sites for your listening pleasure. We use an Elgato HD video capture device to record our consoles and XSplit capture software to record PC games and video Skype calls. The shows are recorded in a room in Mark's house that we have attempted to sound proof with foam panels and on a couch in front of a TV. The PC that is running the programs and recording the show is a pieced together gaming machine with a failing HDD and enough RAM to not dissolve into it's component parts during production.
"Where did you get that awesome music that plays in the background of the show?"
All of the background music for the show has been graciously approved for our use by Zircon! The music for the show is as follows:
Dirt Devil (Twit-face-mail-tumble-plus-site background), Drum and Bossa (News background), Full Speed Ahead (intro music), and Waste Water Wipeout (Main Topic background) You can find Zircon's music at all of these locations. Do yourself a favor and check him out, he is one hell of a talented musician.
