I've never shoveled poo poo, so i've got no grounds to tell you you're not doing it right by flipping the shovel around every minute and alternating between shoveling poo poo with the shovel and its handle.

What program do you use to record?

I got rid of my good mic and stand when my podcast ended, which was probably a mistake. We were running it through someone else's mixer though, so it wouldn't help me much anyway.

I've been thinking about picking up a decent USB microphone but (aside from SP) I have no idea what I'd actually use it for.

I was a pre-kickstarter backer.

They started the crowdfunding on their own site, then did a parallel campaign through Kickstarter to help "legitimize" their campaign by tying it into the then-hype around Kickstarter, before Kickstarter itself became synonymous with "poorly thought out idea that isn't a legitimate product/business because of the following obvious reasons..."

After it hit kickstarter, poo poo got mental and it was just a case of hang on and see where this shitshow goes. I did toy with dumping the LTI for...what...$140, but that would mean giving up a ringside seat for the gaming event of the last five years.

i was just using Audacity with a USB mic (audio technica at2020). i've had my mic for pffff 5 years now? i did LPs and poo poo for a while so i've had reason for it. generally i just use my headset mic if i'm chatting with people but for any real voice over stuff i'll break out the beefy one.

No. The Portugieser is a $16K watch. And depending on when he bought it, could have cost about $20K.

Depends on which one and how you buy it.
Sure, you can get the white gold or red gold ref for around $20k.

But a plain, black dial, SS one you can get for $6-$8k.

In any case, it's an order of magnitude away from the watch he was wearing 2 years ago.
(Which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but is funny nonetheless.)

It sounds absolutely fine and clean, try sticking a huge loving duvet over your head and your mic when you come to do the real thing (serious), your levels etc are fine. The closer you are to the mic the bassier your voice will sound.

Offer of post production audio stuff stands for all the solar plebian voice acting, I'm sure it will be pure hilarity and an absolute joy to do.

Not really. He could have safely kept his troll account if he didn't respond to me after I revealed that the Vietnam vet thing was bogus.

Also, since you all keep ignoring it, he copped to owning the account here in SA, all on his own. That has nothing to do with the Vietnam vet reveal - at all. Since I've had him ignored for weeks now, I had no clue it was his until someone excerpted his admission. By that time, he had already taken the initiative - all on his own - to burn the account by admitting to owning it. That was all on him. Nobody made or forced him to do it.

thank you! i'll get them done ASAP and give you a couple of takes to pick from too!

and yeah, SA is p great despite the poo poo it gets from every other community. it might have edge cases of being bizarro but for the most part my experience has been that people here are decent and, importantly, self aware (edit: for the most part, uncle derek :allears:)
(which i think is a HUGE thing when it comes to how a given community works, not being aware of yourself (the CIG forums and the reddit) is a huge red flag).

i mean just this week a kind goon offered to replace my dead GPU with a card that's actually an upgrade because they understood the tough spot i'm in having been laid off recently. so i hope to pay that forward some day soon, and in the mean time i'll have a functioning computer again. i've never experienced that sorta thing elsewhere.

Is that AS3 thing really so criminal? Scaleform is based on Flash, after all.

Mind you, having had to work with AS3 a while back, I don't mind if it returns to the third circle of hell.

We use Iggy (by Radgametools). Costs less than $6K, has all the same bells and whistles, not a performance hog - and uses Flash for content creation.

It's simply an issue of there being a one-way mirror in place during the event. We knew in advance what was happening because we could see your epic cavalry charge coming. By the time you burst through the glass claiming victory, we were already all laughing because we were watching the whole thing play out in real time. It's really nothing more than that. So from our perspective, you have to admit that's pretty loving funny.

We set a trap for Sandi and the brown sea, and nobody was expecting one of our own to take the bait, much less with the intensity and determination that you did. Coming here to show us how you outed a faker was loving awesome, especially since the post came right after pages and pages of us linking the twitter argument with quotes like "OMG Derek is coming after me".
