Stewart, it was also very difficult to hear Mark's very interesting
conversation re digital TV as was parts of conversation between Tony, Brian
and Tim. You were audible throughout but others not.

Hi Tim, and thanks for feedback.
Yes, Josh was indeed a little too far from the microphone.
Due to time constraints, and in particular because we needed the Infovics
magazine to be available before the AGM, I did not have time to split the
tracks.
Of course people can just download the mp3 version and skip through the
features that way, which is probably preferable anyway.
Stuart.

Hi Stuart,
Had a quick listen to the interview with Josh, and while I didn't think the
background noise was a problem, I felt that Josh was too far from the
microphone, and thus you had to strain to hear what he was saying.
Another problem with the magazine is that it doesn't seem to be split into
tracks. While in Windows Media Player I cannot skip to the beginning of
the next feature. As a result, I would be forced to listen to the whole
magazine, even though I mightn't want to hear some parts.
Tim

Hi Maureen,
Firstly, many thanks for your feedback, which is most welcome.
Infovics is an informal magazine, the interviews we produce are designed to
be done in a relaxed setting, with the background sound adding to the
ambience.
Saying that, I would of course be interested to hear if the noise on the
current edition effected anyone else's enjoyment of the content of the
interviews.
As a rule I try, wherever possible, to avoid interviewing people in the
studio, my feeling is that it is too clinical and the sound produced is very
dead.
For example, if Tony, Brian, Tim and Myself had sat in the studio and
recorded our chat reflecting on the last three years of Vics, I don't think
it would have held people's attention for as long.
I hope this might explain my thinking but as I say, I am open to other
people's view points and in particular, those with hearing impairment.
Many thanks again Maureen.
Stuart.

Stuart, Infovics magazine could indeed have been a cracker if only you
interviewed people in a quiet room or in the studio. I doubt very much if
people with any bit of a hearing impairment could get the gist of some of
the interviews, because I found it difficult enough. Surely you could
interview people elsewhere? Why not bring them to the studio? There must be
enough money in the Vics kitty to pay a taxi there and back for a proper
talk. You could go to pub or café afterwards. I abhor these informal
interviews because the background noise can be so obtrusive to the content.
Food for thought! Maureen.

Hi all.
After what probably seems like an eternity, Infovics is back, and what a
cracking magazine we've got!
On this edition, which is now available on the Vics website,
We check in with mark Magennis and Josh O'Connor from the Centre for
Inclusive Technology (CFIT), to see what they've been up to. Brian Dalton
introduces us to the power of Skype. Tony Murray, Brian Dalton and Tim
Culhane reflect over the last three years of their time with Vics and
highlight some of the best moments for each of them. We've also got
information on the up-coming Vics AGM and a great song from Divine Comedy.
So, get a drink, open the windows and let some of that lovely sun filter in
and point your browser at http://www.vicsireland.org/infovics/
Regards and enjoy!
Stuart Lawler.
