I am glad to hear it!!! Expect another fast paced short story to be released tomorrow (perfect for the gym)... I am currently tweaking the finished version of Force Heretic: To Die Trying now!
Thank, this was amazing!! Really well made. Cool to hear Sidious conversing. There are almost no stories where you get to know his inner thoughts. Hopefully they will be made/ released!
this is not EU, this is Legends. EU is a series of books that began before the Preqs were filmed and take place in a standalone universe that all tie-in together starting with Zahn's Thrawn books. Any books that mention Prequel characters or events are not EU, as the Preqs disregard the EU bible.
Thank you for that! ... it is something I have been trying to correct for sometime, unfortunately. UA-cam statistics show that 80% of our viewers - a majority of which are regular viewers - are not subscribers?!?! Which I don't understand, tbh. Please help and pass on our Channel to anyone that you know would be interesting in our audiobooks!
Thanks for that! So the A.I. voice fits in the realm of "voices you are familiar with" which was the goal! 😂 I also finally have access to my Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina again... although the 1st three are backups and only 60%-70% complete now (they were finished before my holidays)... I am focusing on Allegiance now, but will release shorter (30 minute) audiobooks as I get that one completed. I haven't released anything in weeks, so will do a huge effort to get back on track
Yes... it definitely does! There is a good audiobook on UA-cam about Tenebrous & Sidiois as well (otherwise, I would have immediately followed up with that story!) I have not seen any additional short stories about Plagueis, unfortunately
Brilliant.. Brilliant!!!! (i always think of Maul when i say brilliant hahaha) am listening for the second time. Best bedtime stories EVER thank you soooo much
Thank you for the kind words! I am putting the finishing touches on the Darth Tenebrous story now, which I think you will like! ... plus more DARTH MAUL is coming!
I noticed that... I searched, and could find no additional information regarding Maul's sale (aside from Asajj in the Clone Wars series). I would also really like more details regarding the Nightsister in general
Thank you! 😊 I am working on reproducing the original Star Wars: Allegiance (as originally released by Talking Books) as book 1 of the Hand of Judgement Duology. I have also been made aware of a novella written to take place after Choices of One 😉
Additionally, I have more than 10 short stories that I have finally recovered at 90% or more completion... expect to see these between major releases. So... Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina will have a couple of new additions this week (although likely skipping the first few stories temporarily - sadly, they will require a lot of rework to recover)... I will also release my first couple of Chronological Order videos, focusing on combining every Star Wars work (multiple types, Canon & EU)...
The Archivist - great job ! Is there a short story by luceno that tells what happened to the “subtext miners “ that Plagueis had marooned on an abandoned system after he had them come to sojourn and learned about the plasma on Naboo?
Is the story called, Darth Maul: End Game? I could quickly do that novella as I have all of the A.I.'s for it now... but I cannot seem to locate a copy of the story anywhere (it's out of print, the website it used to reside on is gone, etc. ... that is literally the only Maul story I don't have 🙈). If anyone has a copy, send it to my email (on my Channel) and I can quickly create the audiobook! 🙏🏼
@@TheArchivistPublishing WooHoo! I’ve been listening to your version of the Coruscant Nights trilogy and it’s just brilliant. I can’t believe Disney doesn’t see the potential and fan demand for Legends unabridged audiobooks.
@@TheArchivistPublishing Nah thats when he is young, when Sidious first obtains him, he sends him to Mustafar where droids take care of him and Sidious starts training him.
14:23 So Pre Viszla and his Death Watch weren't the first Mandalorians that Maul had encountered. First, it was Melctch from Tor Viszla's Death Watch before 14:31 Jango Fett killed Tor!!!
Nice spotting of a detail I also found interesting! I suspect due to Meltch's poor treatment of him at a young age, Maul developed an intense dislike for Mandalorians... fueling his desire to conquer them 🤔
@The Archivist and also you made Treza's voice sound so reptilian, "Bad Ass!!!" Could you eventually replicate Darth Plagues' audio voice from the Audiobook of the novel!?!?
Yes! Tonight, in fact. Starting with Mist Encounter - my most complicated audiobook (one I had to redo 3 times, unfortunately... details will come with the release!). Expect multiple releases until I have gotten back on my release schedule... And enjoy Mist Encounter later tonight!
Great work... but the alarms get to be annoying. They are designed to drive people from burning buildings and are hard to ignore while concentrating on the story. The lasers, too, imho. The rest is top notch.
Yes, I did as well. From what I understand, the details are in Maul: End Game (as flashbacks). Edpwctbthat one (and all of the Mail novels) to be released in June.
The audio needs a de-ser treatment. A compresser and a 10 band equalizer will accomplish the same task. Remove the harsh sss sound without dulling the sound of the mix.
I agree... in fact, it was delayed a couple of days as I (unsuccessfully) tried to remove the "sss". Any suggestions for a stand alone de-ser tool? If so, I will apply it and re-release it without the "sss"
@@TheArchivistPublishing I use to do it with rack mounted effects. I don't what free tools exist at this point. My compresser had a pre/out (effects send) that I would put through an EQUALIZER. You find the Hz of the sibilant frequency. And turn it up. Post/in to compresser. Then adjust the compresser for fast release but hard knee compession. The sibilant frequency in theory will be lessened without the whole mix being Eq'ed to be dull.
@@TheArchivistPublishing 'Reason' or 'Record' might have an app/tool as part of it's digital effects emulation software. Perhaps you can borrow a copy from someone you know who does home recording?
Currently, I am bouncing the audiofiles between 3 (or 4) systems to get the quality of the narrator & Maul (which is hugely time consuming). I have been asked several times... it is complicated enough to explain that I will put the process into several videos (with the necessary photos, etc.)
@@TheArchivistPublishing I have really bad dyslexia and there are loads of stat trek books that never made it to audio. This is the most impressive TTS I've ever come across. Do you have a patrion and what level would get me requests
Haha... interesting comment! 😂 It was published with version 1 of our Sammie Wee A. I. Maul : End Game is going to be released in the next 2 weeks... wait until you hear the silky new version 3 of our Sammie Wee A. I.!
Ohh... that one is coming in the medium future for sure. It's only been released abridged with my least favourite book cover! Definitely, under rated and deserves to be done properly
Actually, you are incorrect. Darth Maul: Restraint by James Luceno was written in 2011, whilst Wrath of Darth Maul by Ryder Wyndham was written in 2012. The timing is important as Ryder Wyndam typically wrote "junior novels" for young teens which re-hashed details from several works (in this case, parts from the Darth Maul novels, Darth Maul: Restraint, Darth Maul: Saboteur & Darth Maul: End Game). My AUDIOBOOK is an original work directly from Darth Maul: Restraint (meaning this is not another version of an audiobook that has been produced one or more times - it is an original and the only audiobook version of Darth Maul: Restraint). So what does all of that mean? For purists (especially EU purists) it is important to listen to Star Wars works that were created when Star Wars was under the guidance of George Lucas). With that said, I also (I suspect everyone 🤫) read the "junior novel" version of everything. They are fine, except typically are missing adult themes such as racism, xenophobia, etc. Ryder Wyndam's series of which you mentioned one (others about Darth Vader, etc.) are good sources as they bring together events from several works and/or several authors in one place. As an example, Restraint leaves us with a huge cliff hanger - Maul in his way back to slaughter the training camp. Without Ryder Wyndam's version, you must read Saboteur and End Game (at least) to cover the same events. Also, understand that my goal is to ensure EVERY Star Wars work (be it a novel, short story, novella, comic, or graphic novel) is produced is audiobook format, of at least "near professional" quality - the result will be many original works! 😇
I listen to this in the gym at least twice a week.
I am glad to hear it!!!
Expect another fast paced short story to be released tomorrow (perfect for the gym)... I am currently tweaking the finished version of Force Heretic: To Die Trying now!
That new AI narration is amazing.
Thank you so much!
That’s AI? Damn good!
@@louisvarre2197 my thoughts exactly.
No way! It sounds incredible.
How did you guys know it was a.i? I thought the archivist had hired actors or something.
Thank, this was amazing!! Really well made.
Cool to hear Sidious conversing. There are almost no stories where you get to know his inner thoughts. Hopefully they will be made/ released!
Agreed! I think there is more Sidiois dialogue in the is one then any others
My favorite was always the Plagueis book how half of it was dedicated to palpatine’s thoughts lol
Thank you for this. It’s awesome.
Just heard the beginning and I already know it is going to be a good one.
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
THIS IS AMAZING! THANK YOU A LOT. GUYS LIKE YOU KEEP THE WONDERFUL EU ALIVE

The other hard to find Darth Maul short story by James Luceno is Darth Maul: End Game. I would love to see you do that next if you can find it.
I do have a terrible version if the ebook (i.e., additional time to get the text in order to produce the audiobook... but it is coming - VERY SOON!
From the very beginning of this narrative- most excellent! ✨ Love JL-

I have good news!
You will in the next 2 weeks!
Definitely next level AI narration.
THANK YOU!!! 💯
29:30 talks about the scene in Darth Plagueis novel where young Palpatine was given maul on blue desert city

@@TheArchivistPublishing this is insane work , how the hell do you recover this stuff ?
Oh no why is it similar to Witwers voice? 😭😭😭 I wish we had more iterations of Peters voice.
That is an interesting comment... I will look into creating an A. I. based on Peters. That would be a good addition.
Should see if you can get Sam Witwer to do the "Al Long Time Ago... In A Galaxy Far, Far Away.."
I have a recording of him doing exactly that... but he does it softly, softly...
Hmm... I can probably work with that anyway 😋
The Archivist - great job ! Is there a short story by luceno that tells what happened to the “subtext miners “ that Plagueis had marooned on an abandoned system after he had them come to sojourn and learned about the plasma on Naboo?

Thanks for that
Phenomenal work 👍 out of curiosity do you think you’ll end up doing either the Republic Commando or NJO books at some point?
Thank you!
... and, yes, those are in my queue (3-4 novels beforehand)!

Bruh Maul always has people trying to capture him lol....

Who is the narrator?
I bet you think it is Sam Witwer (Darth Maul voice from the Clone Wars series)... but it is not! 😄
This audiobook is 100% Artificial Intelligence (voices, music, etc.)
It’s pretty good, but I only just listened to shadow hunter and it’s quite different. Did you clone his voice?
@@AdmiralMakati It is not cloned, but the A.I. sounds similar to the narrator of the Essential Legends version of Shadow Hunter
Great work... but the alarms get to be annoying. They are designed to drive people from burning buildings and are hard to ignore while concentrating on the story. The lasers, too, imho. The rest is top notch.
Yeah... I agree... but there is a bio alarm and a disaster beacon to endure
Treza’s voice actually kinda scares me lol
🤣😂🤣
Now imagine that voice coming from a reptilian who changes colors based on his emotions, whilst exuding a cocktail of pheromones! 😬🙈😬
1:18:28 Was that it!?!? I thought their would be more description of what Maul did when he killed everyone in the academy!!!
Yes, I did as well. From what I understand, the details are in Maul: End Game (as flashbacks).
Edpwctbthat one (and all of the Mail novels) to be released in June.
It’s described in the book darth maul wrath.
@The.Archivist. can you at least do those parts in a new Audiobook too!?!?
Great book. Sounds like it's being read by American Patrick Stewart...
