Rough Cut Podcast Feedback and Improvements 

After finishing the rough cut of the podcast, I asked others to give me feedback, two other classmates listened to my podcast overall. With feedback from Jack and Finn, I was able to see areas that were good and what needed improving in different areas such as structure and the overall edit.
for structure, Finn noted that there was "great structure" and that the "segments were ordered nicely", but that I could perhaps link the segments together better.
However, Jack said that the links were good alongside a "good intro".
For soundbites and music, Jack noticed that the "intro and beginning music is really good" and that the SFX used was good in the transitions. This was different however for Finn, who thought the transition music should be smoother. But other than that, he thought that the music was a good choice for a gaming podcast.

The feedback for the levels/background noise/hiss and feedback seem good, as both classmates thought the levels of the voice and music were well mixed throughout and Jack noticed that there was barely any background noise. I also agree that there was some background noise, but only because there was a few rustling sounds over the talking, I just didn't want to cut out speech, which means that it isn't much of an improvement I can make, without re-recording pieces.
Feedback for the pace and overall edit seems good, Finn considers the podcast to be a nice fast pace and the editing has good segment transactions. Similar to this, Jack considers the pace to be mixed but it doesn't hinder it.

There is good feedback for the energy and enthusiasm, both saying that there are clear voices, but Finn thinks improvements can be made by adding a little more enthusiasm which counters Jack's thoughts that there is enough enthusiasm. The final feedback for clear voice and answers is also good. Finn stated that the voices are always clear over the music and the questions and answers are well carried out. Jack thinks that the voices are mostly clear but there were some areas like 4:30 that needs improvement, which I have tried to carry out. Jack also thinks that there are one or two vox pops that are unnecessary like Alex's.

This is a screenshot from Adobe Audition, where I have used an effect on the second layer, by looping the sound. I was able to do this because it was only music so it didn't need a certain starting point and it would be easier to cut together alongside other clips of audio. it saved me from having to copy and paste the same track over and over again. 
Again on the second layer, I have overlapped the last segment of music with another, which means that the last music will fade in a make for an smoother transition. This isn't the only time I have done this on the podcast, as I have overlapped parts of cut speech, which means the overall sound is smoother with a less lagged or glitched transition. I haven't go much to show, but I have shown the effects I have used and the transitions
