Fleve

I frontload my regret during the production process and then try not to look back in case I might regret things in hindsight as well.

I've re-recorded the first 0-15 minutes of every LP episode I've ever made between 3-10 times. At first it was because I found out I didn't have anything to say, leading to a huge amount of deleted intros like "Hello, this is [game]....seriously? that's all? this is stupid". Then that practice turned malignant and I started discarding longer pieces of ok'ish recordings as well because at minute 0-15 I did something stupid and I don't know why I couldn't just edit that out in post but it was either all or nothing, like trying to shoot movies with a single take. Luckily, I'm getting better at ignoring my urge to restart a recording.

It was only within the past few years that I started scrubbing my audio for those annoying saliva noises that I've never found a pop filter to do anything about, and they disgust me every time I listen to anything from before that.

I hate that poo poo so badly I can't understand why it didn't bother me at first. All the additional noises make me sound like a grandpa smacking open his mouth, stammering a few words, and then gasping for air from the effort of having formulated a sentence. Learning to recognize the telltale waveform spike of mouth noises and breathing took me a while, and deleting all that takes even longer, but I can no longer not do it.
