PokéSins Ep56 Update & Mic Continuation
Added 2016-11-19 03:21:58 +0000 UTCThis episode is scripted and technically recorded...but...
If you read the previous post, I talked about my new mic. I recorded Ep56 as well as the next Slime Rancher session using this new mic (a Samson Co1U), but I think I tweaked the audio wrong. It's ended up very boomy, where my voice seems to distort a bit at higher volumes. I THINK boomy is the right term...
Extensive googling and some testing has reflected that I may have had the mic too close and I may have sound reduced it too much. You see I use an audio program to reduce the background buzz of my computer in the audio recording. The problem, however, is that after doing this, the audio took on this tinny/boomy quality. While it's too late for Slime Rancher (I don't want to replay over an hour's gameplay of the new update), it's not too late for PokéSins.
The bottom line is that I don't have enough time to work out how to optimise my microphone this weekend. I have to do the weekend's videos before I go to sleep because I'll be up late and then occupied for the rest of the weekend.
What I'm going to do is delay PokéSins until I either optimise or abandon this new mic. I'll continue with Slime Rancher as, like I said, it's too late to redo. I'll edit the session and learn what I can from the mic's perfomance. I'll also be doing this sunday's G-Log announcing which AoD Merch design won. In that video I'll also talk about the PokéSins delay and the reason.
This is awkward and I know PokéSins is already late, but there's really nothing I could have done differently to avoid this.
I apologise for all the delays, but I want you to know that I'm doing my best. Thank you for your understanding.
