In listening to our podcasts, especially the initial ones,
the audio issues are going to be biggest regret in this. Learning while on the move can certainly be
difficult, and listening to the first few episodes being recorded and played
back, I can certainly see that they’re not exactly sounding right.
So the first episode on Anime was recorded in Mono, which
meant that I wasn’t picked up to well, but mom was, so that was a bummer, but
we might re-record this in the future if it’s audio isn’t up to snuff for our
listeners. At worst, I think listening
in on to it, you’re going to listen to us grow in to better podcasters in the
future.
Second episode on Anime was better, recorded in Stereo this
time, so clearly going to get a better result.
Down side here, is realizing that I don’t sound like what I think I
sound like. I never really realized how
gravelly my voice is, or perhaps I’m just sleepy perhaps, but I also don’t
sound too energetic, this is something I need to definitely work on.
We get to the 3rd episode on Captain Marvel, it
sounds better and I seem more energetic, but I clearly am way to close on the
mic while Mom is too far away. Time to
bust out some rulers. I’m noticing the
echo as well, which doesn’t help in my particular location as being anything
more than unavoidable. Vaulted ceilings,
lots of places for things to bounce off of, this isn’t a great way to
record. I might also want to test the
Mics as well, perhaps there is a way in Audacity that you can limit the intake
so we get less background and echo noise.
A learning process to be sure.
I’m sorry for any initial problems we might have here in the
beginning. Hopefully, we’ll get to the
point where we become seasoned professionals, some of which will involve more
tech and equipment in the future.
After much hemming and hawing, I’ve finally chosen some
intro and ending music, which I think is very retro and fun. We’re nearly ready to publish some of our
first episodes, hopefully everyone will be thankfully patient with me for
taking my time on this, but they’re coming soon.
