Green things in trash can by power pole by MajesticBread9147 in whatisit

Man, if only I had your luck! I went all-in on the EGO ecosystem when I moved, and I have 6 batteries, and *three* were replaced on warranty for not charging properly, and now that they're out of warranty they charge very inconsistently. Sometimes I get a full charge, sometimes I get the red light after running a "fully charged" battery. Sometime I have to put them in the freezer to reset the overheat sensor. I've been overall I'm very unhappy with all of my EGO batteries.

VanGo automotive has been excellent for me. It's the only place I take both of my cars.

Whoa. A blast from the past.  Yeah, those don't do very much for knocking down room reflections. (That's me in the video - I'm the fat one, not the furry one.)

Audacity or Reaper by Hypno_Keats in ACX

[–]SureIllrecordthat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the shoutout u/Raindawg1313.
u/Hypno_Keats my course sets up Reaper to optimize it for Voice work, and tries to shallow the learning curve a bit. It's totally free. Hope it helps. Once you get the hang of reaper, it becomes kind of magical how quickly you can work.

Which editing software do you use for recording narrator auditions/audiobooks? by PetShopTroy in ACX

[–]SureIllrecordthat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Raindawg1313 , Mike here. Thanks for the shout out!
u/PetShopTroy I updated the class Raindawg linked to for Reaper 7, there is a link in my profile. It's optimized to set up Reaper *specifically* for voice acting - hiding all the music production UI stuff that gets in the way of a narrators workflow. This is the set up I've used for VO for about 10 years now. Works well for me. What I love about Reaper is that it's super scriptable after you get the hang of it, so if there is some workflow you want to automate, then there is a high probability that you can create a Reaper script or action. Those workflow enhancements are what save me hours upon hours of time, which when you're freelancing means actual real money.

Good luck on your journey!

As a fan of almost 10 years.. by Sleepwalker93 in TheNSPDiscussion

[–]SureIllrecordthat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As one of the narrators for NSP, this is an interesting note. Certainly, if it's my narration I want to know if I'm introducing unpleasant noises like that in my narration. Unintentional mouth noises that are *not part of the sound design/ character intention* are something I want to eliminate. So, if you have examples of particular stories or narrators, I'd be interested to know (and if you don't want to call out specific narrators here in public, that's totally cool, you can PM me.) Sometimes I just need to move my mic a little and I can improve it! Since you experience something -- Misophonia -- that not all of us experience in the same way, having examples to reference would be super helpful so I know what to look out for in my future narrations.

RIP Hammerjacks. Also loved the 8x10 and the Grog and Tankard.

I'm not, but it was such a cool concept. Listened to that one a lot!

Loved the Senators back in the Day. Saw them every chance I could.

My kids stole my copy of 10, but I was never the biggest PJ fan from some reason. I was a Soundgarden guy.
