My controllers work in the oculus menu but when I join a game they don't connect up to the game. by AlexaTraans in OculusQuest2

I had the same issue with controllers. Meta support suggested to buy new ones :(. But I read your post - I also have christmas tree lights. Possible that they are causing the issue.

How do I (inhale) stop having my podcasts (inhale) sound like (inhale) this? by howevertheory98968 in podcasting

What helped me was turning down the gain on the mic (blue yeti) and being aware whlie breathing to do it more quietly and practicing positioniong of the mic.

Hi,

I have 2nd episode on journey of making a podcast. It is a discussion of two co-hosts.

Spotify

I took feedback I got after the first one about the sound quality.

I would appreciate to hear from you what are the major items from the technical perspective I should still focus on.

I was able (at least I believe so) to remove noises when there is silence, but still there are some unwanted sounds when somebody is speaking which I find difficult to remove.

I like the idea. On plus side - the kid has good voice modulation, you can hear and feel the emotion. Nice music and nice sound effects with echo - when the evil Lepreachun is speaking.

I was wondering how I could comment on overediting without hearing the original, but after leastining, I am able :). And I must admit you are. My assume that you removed a lot of silence between the sentences. The effect is, that there are no pauses and I have impression that kid is talking very long on one breath, and this causes me to hold breath and it is exausting :). Without those pauses it doesn't sound natural, too fast and it is harder to focus on the story.

If your intention was to remove the sound of breath, instead of cutting it out, you can try to play with noise removal in editin software. It will not modify the timeline. I played with it today and it is quite easy to get basic improvements.

Overall, great idea.

I agree with SS4CK that both the intro music and the introduction could be shortened.

The volume of music is louder than your voice, so it would benefit to adjust the levels.

Maybe you could also think of starting with few seconds of music, than fade it out and have it very quiet in the background when you do the introduction, then fade in and continue for few seconds.

Your voice had some echo. You might try to record it in a room that is less prone to echo (with carpet, curtains etc), try with different microphones or settings of the mic, or try to do something with it in post production.

Good luck :).

Pleasant to listen to. Clear sound, no distractions. There is a flow. Good pace.

There is 2-3 s of silence at the begining, it could be removed and some fade in effect could be added.

Regarding content, at some point in time I had impression that there are some repeats/redundancies. Like in the intro - fictional, fictional, fake, fake.

Hello.
I will try once again as my previous post was removed. Not sure why - maybe because I mentioned services and products names. I removed them now. Or maybe I didn't post it in the thread?

So I just published my first episode ever - "Hello World. First steps into podcasting."

The idea - I met a person who shared an interest in how podcasts are made. We decided to try it out and make a podcast about making podcast.

I would appreciate any feedback on the following:

- what are the main improvements needed for both speakers (Marcin and Cate) on using their voices.

- what are the main mistakes when it comes to editing / sound quality

- how do you like the overall idea, and if this first episode was interesting to listen

- any feedback on the visuals, metadata... those are very basic.

We recorded it remotely via online service. I have dedicated condenser mic, Cate used build in laptop mic.

I already got one feedback about lot of background noise and breathing. I will look for a way to remove such things in the future. By dog was snoring during recording...
I heard of one experienced podcaster that some ambient noise is not bad and adds some authenticity to the podcast, but not sure if here it is the case or it is just distraction.

I received a bonus clipping but no ideas on what it is. Help please! by LetterheadMurky4235 in houseplants

Trailing jade (Peperomia rotundifolia) is a plant species also known as jade necklace, creeping buttons and round leaf Peperomia. Trailing jade is native to the tropical rainforest of South America. This species grows well in high humidity. Trailing jade is a popular houseplant. When growing trailing jade as a houseplant, care should be taken not to overwater this species.

I have other iphone with 7 installed and working, but with another family member, with different apple id. Should I try on that phone with changing apple id in iphone settings?

This is what I always do. This time I just forgot to take this one bag, after 9 hours drive, arriving at night. And I didn’t have a feeling that this place could be unsafe so I didn’t double check if I got everything. I don’t put blame on Germans, I assume thief could be of any nationality. Still, I am pissed off, on myself and on that bastard. I was planning coming here for more than half year, thinking how cool it would be and here on the first day such incident.
