commented on a projectThanks Gerry! Wow that is an amazing compliment and we'll take it! A lot of hard work to get it to this point we are just glad everyone appreciates it. Ok so the keychains have a locktight-type material in the threads, and because of no movement for this long they seem to have gotten incredibly tight. I would suggest to take pliers, grab onto the small stem and untwist the larger part with your fingers, It only needs the threads broken, afterwards it should be good to go. Sorry for this inconvenience, it seems a lot of people are experiencing this. We will try to break the keychains in a little before we package them from now on.

commented on a projectHey Tony, Incredibly sorry to hear that, the company used a locktight type glue on the threads so it would not unscrew easily, seems It may have held to well :/ I'll make sure to mail a few more out to you as soon as I am in the office tomorrow. again terribly sorry, they should arrive later this week. Thanks for supporting!

commented on a project updateAll of you are incredible! This. This right here is what makes the sleepless nights and incredibly stressful days worth it. Mark you are one rad dude, we are working on providing a solution once we get our feet on the ground. Julia, Check out the comments page, a supporter posted a how to guide! We just completely spaced in providing guides for specific operating systems. If you are having trouble I highly suggest audacity to get a feel for it.

commented on a projectAwesome to see the amazing responses here guys! We are ecstatic to see the tremendous support from the ones who made this project come to life. Also Gautham Chandra don't forget to use the gold knob to control the volume to your external speakers, Definitely don't want to have both the computer and slug at 100% volume with headphones in.Sorry I should have made that more clear in the instructions. And Juan, Just checked, you are still on the list of unsubmitted addresses. Good to see local support! I just sent you a PM.

Posted project update #11Software! Also some bad news Overseas
Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update as it seems there is a great deal of backers that have some questions about the software which wasn't included in the packaging.
We decided to offer it as a free resource, As the Slug will work with any recording software, we wanted show its versatility off.
The download page and instructions were provided in the link below which you should have received when we sent out confirmations of shipment. But for anyone who missed it or we missed, we are extremely sorry. You can view it in the picture below.
Also Here is a link directly to our software download page.
http://www.soundslug.com/software/
The software is still in an early stage and we are working to release updates to it so we can fix any bugs that arise. The MP3 file format isn't supported in our program yet, but you can still export recordings as MP3's in other programs (we highly recommend Audacity). Our software was developed in Adobe Flex, which many of you know was dismissed by Adobe a couple months ago. Because of this, support for Flex is pretty limited at the moment. We are doing our best to adapt to these changes, and hope to release an initial update to the software within the following weeks.
OK, so here is the part that has been keeping me up the past 2 weeks,
We received our first order of slugs and have shipped all of them out, about 95% of our backers received their order. We were promised delivery of a second shipment by last week and by the time the factory completed the order it was too late, Chinese New year took over, the entire country shut down, and not a single shipping company is open to send us the completed items, So we are at a standstill until Feb 2nd when we our manufacturer starts up again.
So For any backer and those who paid through paypal who didn't receive an update with shipping status it is because we couldn't get inventory by the promised date. We take full responsibility and are deeply ashamed it has taken this long to get everyone their promised orders. We sincerely hope you can take into consideration us being a newly founded startup and the unforeseen troubles that can sometimes accompany that unfortunately. We are determined to make it up to these individuals.
Again we want to show our appreciation to everyone here who helped make this project a reality and the amazing support we have gotten even given a few mishaps on our part.
-Kenny & Senna
