I like the lines but there's a noise in the recording or something
9:03 PM
Any idea what could that be?

Any idea what could that be?
so i think analyzed the wave and i think its a mic issue, where the gain is creating this hiss/hum. Especially since the hiss/hum is softer when the voice isnt speaking. If you're using a USB mic, grounding issues/connection with the computer can introduce a constant hum. Or it could be a background noise. The voice itself sounds relatively clear, but the noise slightly undercuts the quality. plus the waveform before the speech begins is not flat and where there's no line theres still something there. (edited)
9:35 PM
also i tried fixing it with EQ and other mixing/mastering shenanigans but i couldn't. if any of the other musicians wanna try go for it and let me know if you fixed it and how cause i'd like to learn (also my bad for the whole paragraph) (edited)

Yeah, kirbs can try doing something with her mic or someone else fix it with sound wizardry

Yeah, all I got is a crappy laptop
10:12 PM
I use Voicemod to at least try and get rid of the noise reduction while recording since the Enhancer has one built-in, guess it wasn't enough
Avatar
Avatar
M-kirbs
Yeah, all I got is a crappy laptop
so if you can, DM me an un-edited version (no voicemod/enhancer) to see if i can reduce the noise manually, if not we can play into the noise as Margaret is the party host, tho that's up to Ferstofus (edited)
Avatar
Or maybe you could work with the enhancer to reduce the noise if that's possible?
11:03 PM
Like find a way to get rid of the noise with these takes alone

yea i can do that. send both tho, cause i'm more accustomed to messing with a raw recording, but i'm down to try with both. and i'll let y'all know so we can decide what to do
Avatar
also @Ferstofus quick question. I wanted to know what you meant by editor, were you referring to stitching all the VA lines together, or more like what I'm doing now (production and quality control of the audio)? I feel like both kinda fall under the editor umbrella, but its more like Final Editor & Audio Clean-Up/Producer. (edited)
11:25 PM
I'm totally down to sift through and clean up all the lines so they sound crisp/clean/whatever you're aiming for, and then someone else can handle stitching them together.
Avatar
Well audio clean-up would be awesome, I just mention stitching up lines and sfx because that's the bare minimum we need, right. I just don't know if @ąʂɧƖɛყ (SynnCloud) already wanted to do audio clean-up, bro
Avatar
got it, thanks for clarifying. I'll wait for a response from @ąʂɧƖɛყ (SynnCloud) to see what the plan moving forward is.

Uhhh, that would mean I would have to re-record the lines from scratch tho :\
12:03 AM
The Voicemod pretty much like acts as my mic
12:04 AM
And using my laptop mic alone would probably make for a lower quality result
Avatar
got it, well for now just let it be. lets wait for a more defined way to split up the editor role and once we do then we can work on reducing the hiss/hum

Okay, cool! i’ll handle the production and quality control of the lines as they come in, and then send the final versions either through DMs or whatever works best. Once Ferstofus gives it the stamp of approval, we can go ahead with that plan. Just let me know if that works for you, and we should make a plan for music once we have a majority of the lines.

I’m so mad, I scheduled today to finally record my part

Well, a bunch of VAs were late to deliver lines and one downright said their house caught on fire, and I forgave and I waited. I thought we could still make it on time if the rest were fast workers, but it's now unlikely, and I'll have to ditch people. New deadline is the end of June.

Hey @deleted-role . I just wanted to say that sadly we didn't get it done by the deadline. I belatedly realized some lines needed rerecording and there was miscommunication on the editing. But, the good news is that the lines and sfx are already assembled and the musicians are making the music. I'm hoping we'll get it finally done this month. Fingers crossed 🤞

By the way, @deleted-role , this production continues to be as much of a drama as the audio! The last musician didn't do anything after a month so we got a new one again. Tune in next month for the next episode! 🤡
