Kenneth Gibbs is the co-founder of SoundSlug, an audio tech startup. SoundSlug is developed from concept to design by both Kenneth and Seena Zandipour. Growing up in a suburban community, Kenneth spent most of his time helping his father restore automobiles. At a young age, Kenneth discovered he had a keen eye for design. Starting with the build of a fully functioning miniature chopper at age 13, from there he moved onto restoring classic cars, soldering electronic circuit boards, inventing and creating products, and is now in the process of earning his engineering degree. The experiences and talents acquired at an early age have clearly carried to his adult life, and will continue to inspire his vision in both design and functionality.
I got SLUG yesterday. I try now.
very thanks.
Thanks very much! I very much look forward to recieving my slug! ;)
Hey Joe, International shipping was started last week and we are 99% done as of now! Your order was shipped off a few days ago and I'll make sure to send a confirmation number over your way here very soon. Thanks for all your help and support!
I was just wondering whether the international packages had been shipped? As im in the UK but i havent recieved my slug yet!? Regards joe
That's okay. The important thing is that it's a fixable issues. I already had Audacity in my computer (because of school) so I tried the SLUG using that and it works great. There's some volume distortion but that's my fault.
I cannot get the Slug to work in Nuendo (it's exactly like Pro Tools without having to buy plug-ins to get the program to boot up). I'm a bit bummed since that's what I work off of but meh. I tried pressing some buttons and changing some settings and all I could record was my TV playing in the background, which was recorded from my microphone in my laptop. So the slug doesn't want to work at all in Nuendo. Odd.
Glad to hear you received it Laura! I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Sorry again about the keychain being a pain.
I got my Slug today! Took my about an hour (sadly) to figure out the keychain . The plier trick worked in the end. Can't wait to try recording/ripping a stream! Thanks for the fast shipping and wonderfully sturdy packaging! It survived the trip into Canada without even a dent.
@KennyGibbs- thanks for the replacement chain! Slug works like a charm. Quality is is equal to the stream! I've had great success with Audacity for fine tuning. Thanks again for a reliable product!
Hey Paul, no additional costs to Canadian residents, and all canadian orders have been shipped. We took a hit on shipping costs for this but helping out our friends up north is what it's all aboot! Just sent you your tracking number
Can you please advise if shipments to Canada have been released or do we need to submit additional shipping charges?
Paul S
Woops. Totally got mine today. Thanks so much!
@Kennygibbs Got the new key chains! THanks for the fast turn around. I have one more suggestion, and maybe to fund it use Kickstarter again cause I would totally back it!
You need to create a software that can auto save to MP3 but also can auto tag the music. There is other software out there that does this already, so I know it is possible. I Would fund this software project to have this made! (I'm on a MAC so please if you do, do it make it work on Win & MAC). Really the overall features I would want are:
Save as MP3
Tag MP3 with ID3 data & name the MP3 accordingly.
Auto Split MP3s.
Allow saving destination to be set.
Let me know if you decide to do this and I will help fund you right away!
My slug hasn't arrived yet... I mean I am all the way over in Colorado? I know i sent in my info. Should I receive it within the next couple of weeks?
Thanks 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.
Received my Slug late last week - just as quickly as you said it would arrive. Slug looks and feels great and packing is very impressive (I expected something less finished....even bubblewrap). You guys deserve a lot of credit - definitely one of the better projects I've backed in terms of planning and execution.
Looking forward to testing out the Slug soon.
Dumb question on the keychain - how exactly is it suppose to open? Not opening readily with a twist, so thought I'd ask before I break it.
Thanks!
Gerry
Hey Ian, Just sent a few more out to you. Sorry about that :(
@Kennygibbs The Slug works great! Unfortunately same thing is happening to my key chain as well. Is it possible to get a new one shipped?
Hey 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!
@Kennygibbs My key chain cable is all frayed. Is it possible to get another one?
Awesome 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.
Got it today, works great, using it with Audacity! Plus the headphones are pretty nice too! I needed a new pair.
P.S. The packaging is awesome.
What's up man I don't if you remember me from the wedding up in Chico but I just wanted to let you know I have not received my Slug I hope it gets here soon. Thanks
Received mine yesterday as well - great packaging and great looking product. Using the buds as we speak and hope to test out the slug tonight. Thanks again for making this project happen!
Just got mine in after coming home from work. I love the packaging. You guys are so creative. Thanks for this project.
Got my slug today too. Quick feedback. Its great but if you dont set the volume of the song you are streaming to 50% volume instead of 100%, the audio comes out crackling as if you are overloading a pair of cheap earbuds.
Got my Slug today, packaging is awesome and it works like a charm! But, using the Soundslug software suite, I only get WAV files. The main Kickstarter page says it's supposed to be able to do MP3 as well ("The software that comes with the SLUG automatically splits up tracks based on silence, so you can leave a playlist of music playing that is free to public domain, and come back to whole folder of separated MP3s/WAVs."), but I can't find any option for MP3. Anyone know how to make it work?
Got mine delivered at the office and can't wait to get home to use this thing to grab some audio I've been dying to get my hands onto.
For anyone that want to know how to get this to work via Sound Lug Pro on a Mac with something other than line in or the microphone, i have posted a review on it at my website (http://www.stromnex.com/v2/archives/413).
http://www.soundslug.com/software/ ... I haven't been able to get it to actually save anything on my MacBook Pro though...
I got my slug today! Now software in box :(.. I checked in the updates section of kickstarter.com and on your site and blog, but found no link to download the software. Please post a link for us.
NVM, found it in the shipping message. For those of you who are looking, the software links can be found via the shipping message you receive.
"The software works on all platforms including Mac, Windows, and Linux and comes pre-loaded on our SLUGCARDS, or is available to download from our site using a promotional code you will receive with the SLUG."
I didn't order the SLUGCARD and i don't have a code located in the box. I am a little confused as to where i find the software. Please let me know Kenny. Thanks
@Michael Where was the software? I am going to search through the updates to see if it is posted online
Hey guys still waiting on my slug and tracking! Thanks a bunch!
hi i paid the remaining shipping costs via paypal but still havent received a word about my packet. Just wanted to know if there is a problem with my payment?
No product or tracking # here either. Any updates would be great. Thanks guys
Any updates for those of us who haven't received any emails yet? Sorry, just very eager to get my hands on this thing...thanks guys!
never mind found it. Thanks Guys!
Similar request as Raj...
I recieved My Slug in the mail (it looks great by the way) but there's no software? Will this be a downloadable package you will be e-mailing?
Hey Ben sending out a bunch of confirmations tomorrow so hold tight. Thanks for being so patient everyone, we were not expecting the load of paperwork that goes with an order this large. Working around the clock and will give everyone an update tomorrow. Thank you!
-Seena & Kenny
Hey just wondering when the second wave of shipping is going to be sent out. Still waiting for shipping confirmation.
Thanks.
Hey you guys thanks for the awesome comments! We worked hard in designing everything from the slug to the accessories and packaging. We sent instructions to all those who we have shipped out to thus far, but have only sent out to their personal emails. We will start sending updates directly to kickstarter accounts. Thank you!
Got mine as well, but don't see the info on obtaining the software, from the site or in the box (which is awesomely designed).
Hey Dudes, I got my slug in the mail today and was really excited to start using it I opened the box and I see my slug and the headphone/mic jack extensions, but there's no software. Am I missing something?
Hey Soumik, I just posted an update about the shipping. Everything is looking good! :)
Did everything get shipped out as scheduled Kenny?
Good to hear, thanks.
Hey you guys, thanks for the concern,
We are pushing the factories as fast as we can to be able to ship out to all backers by Jan 15th. As of right now everything looks in order and it looks like we are going to meet that date. We know everyone is as eager as us to see everything shipped out, and we are personally picking everything up from our factories the end of this week. Thank you everyone for the tremendous support!
-Kenny
So what's the deal? January 5, Are they shipping soon or what? Thanks guys
I responded to the email requiring the shipping details on the 25th of December. I live in Canada and I am just wondering when the shipment will arrive. Thanks!
