A Change In Audio Production
Added 2024-09-08 17:00:07 +0000 UTC(TLDR; I'm probably hiring an editor to help me in audios)
This has been a consideration for a long while and that is to expand productivity in audios. The entirety of my audios have been me and me alone (with the exception of 'ChurchofPoe' guesting as a lady voice) with no help in editing.
Editing audios is by far.. the absolute most mind-numbing, time consuming, headache of the creative process. I'm willing to bet 99% of other creators in this field would probably say the same thing. Sometimes it is a breeze, but overall it is an inevitable nightmare. Especially doing it for years.
With that in mind, I've been in contact with someone and can consider them a friend who edits for another friend of mine in this same field. I don't know how often they will be of assistance, nor do I know if I will have them as a permanent stay. It all falls under their schedule, my approval, and so on.
I feel like this might be a right call, and if it's not, things can go back to how I've always done them. But with the income gratefully given from you Patrons as well as the income from PHub, I'd like to use that money how I've always wanted and always have. To put it back into my work so you can enjoy more of what I do.
Hell, a week ago as of this post, my desk chair snapped. Completely worn out! And if it weren't for Patreon, I wouldn't have been able to afford to replace it. Same with my headphones, microphone, and most of all, the PC!
Hiring an editor feels so much more beneficial in the long run. As long as they know my flow of how I edit, things should be great for all of us. They have hired pay, you have more audios being written/recorded, and I have a bit less to worry about while still perusing my creative goals.
I know this is a long read for something that might be simple to most, but for me, this is a big change that I'm still taking caution about. I might put a 'TLDR' up there (I just did).
Now. Let's get started.

Doing everything his way and so on. But at the end of it all, I know it's for the betterment of everyone. I genuinely hope it's the right call. Because if it is, as I've said, I can focus on my other creative outlets, but also my family.

2024-09-08 23:40:37 +0000 UTCWhen anyone works in the way that you do, they are essentially an artist. Whether it's writing a book, creating woodwork pieces, or the content that you write and create Nightly, nothing about relinquishing a piece of that is simple or easy. But the flip side is burnout and exhaustion. I think it's a huge step that you've been considering and have finally taken. As Kiray said, it's worked out well for others, and I also believe that it's going to be great for you - and ultimately for us. So onward and upward Nightly! ❤🥰

2024-09-08 21:16:59 +0000 UTCThank you for the reassurance, Kiray. I wrote this last night and had it scheduled to go public today. Waking up, I was nervous. Still wondering if this would be the right call. Thank you :')

2024-09-08 21:13:38 +0000 UTCDear Nightly, I've seen this step happen for a couple of creators I follow (especially on YouTube when it is about editing videos) and all have been apprehensive in the beginning. But it has always worked out great and taken a lot of stress off the creator. So to me this feels like absolutely the right path. 💙 And a good choice to spend your money. 💙
