Things I learned this year
May. 15th, 2022 06:12 pmThis year feels like the biggest step-up in terms of podfic quality for me. I'd been doing more-or-less the same thing with my editing for the last few years but this year I've branched out and tried new things. Some of those are definitely going to become standard for me. (these are all for Audacity fwiw)
Things I'll keep:
Things that I'll use occasionally
(also ooh look at me 2 dw posts in a day! they're related, but definitely needed to be separate posts)
Things I'll keep:
- double noise reduce before starting editing
- DECLICKER! I think this is more of a boon with a more sensitive mic where mouth sounds are picked up better rather than with a phone mic that will auto-filter some of that out. (Or maybe I just never noticed it in my older works)
- filter curve: this has been really nice to get rid of some of the background stuff and I've figured out the settings I like for comms and phone calls
Things that I'll use occasionally
- consenser: it's really useful for things with a lot of volume variation imo, but if the volume is fairly consistent I feel like the default settings just add distortion instead of being useful
- Noise Gate: another one that has its uses (mostly if I'm being fussy about breaths) but I discovered that I kind of like having the breaths in there and if it really bothers me I can just spectral edit it out.
- Spooky voice edits: good for ghosts & other things. Duplicate the selection, change pitch down -10, change gain on duplicate track -11 (the -/+ bar in the audio track controls)
(also ooh look at me 2 dw posts in a day! they're related, but definitely needed to be separate posts)
I think this year has been my most productive to date, and for a very specific reason. I've been attempting to make it to 100 hours of posted podfic on my 10th podficversary. And I made it! I didn't quite manage to get to 100 podfics (where I'm a primary/major voice) but I did manage to get to 100 ao3 works which still feels like a good round number.
I haven't been cross-posting here as much as I'd intended but I've been so wrapped up in just getting things done that posting in multiple places has just not been my top priority.
I definitely started podficcing before 2012 because I started by recording Stargate Atlantis rare(er) pairs for myself. I never finished any of those, but they were recorded on the tiny mp3 player/recorder with that I had to record lectures back in 2010/2011 or so. I think the very first thing I recorded was the prologue to Good Omens. Since then I've recorded on three different phones, a Blue Snowball, and now a Blue Yeti. I've recorded in at least 7 locations, not counting things I recorded while visiting other people/at cons. I've also done editing on three different laptops and a PC.
( Some stats and thoughts )
Looking forward I think I'm going to try and get all of my podfics moved to a different hosting, finally figure out my streaming problem, and crosspost everything to the revived audiofic archive. I also have a couple Very Big projects that I've been eyeing up and may start later this summer.

A Lightsaber and a Love Story
Mar. 16th, 2022 11:40 pmI'll be attempting to cross-post my podfic over here when I remember, and I just finished posting a (pre-relationship) CodyWan series! About 1hr20 total across 5 podfics. My streaming is still broken, mostly because I haven't had enough brainspace to try and fix it so it's just direct download links
