Our Audio

\n
\n

This episode was processed using Audacity. We\'ve been making\nsmall adjustments to our audio mix each month in order to get the best\npossible sound. Its been especially challenging getting all of our\nvoices relatively level, because everyone has their own unique setup.\nMumble is great for bringing us all together, and for recording, but\nit\'s not good at making everyone\'s voice the same volume. We\'re pretty\nhappy with the way this month\'s show turned out, so we\'d like to share\nour editing process and settings with you and our future selves (who, of\ncourse, will have forgotten all this by then).

\n

We use the \"Truncate Silence\" effect with it\'s default settings to\nminimize the silence between people speaking. When used with it\'s\ndefault (or at least reasonable) settings, Truncate Silence is extremely\neffective and satisfying. It makes everyone sound smarter, it makes the\nfile shorter without destroying actual content, and it makes a\nconversations sound as easy and fluid during playback as it was while it\nwas recorded. It can be even more effective if you can train yourself to\nremain silent instead of saying \"uuuuummmm.\" Just remember to ONLY pass\nthe file through Truncate Silence ONCE. If you pass it through a second\ntime, or if you set it too aggressively your audio may sound sped up and\nchoppy.

\n

Next we use the \"Compressor\" effect with the following settings:

\n
Threshold: -30db\n\nNoise Floor: -50db\n\nRatio: 3:1\n\nAttack Time: 0.2sec\n\nDecay Time: 1.0 sec`
\n

\"Make-up Gain for 0db after compressing\" and \"compress based on\npeaks\" were both left un-checked.

\n

After compressing the audio we cut any pre-show and post-show chatter\nfrom the file and save them in a separate file for possible use as\nouttakes after the closing music.

\n

We adjust the Gain so that the VU meter in Audacity hovers around\n-12db while people are speaking, and we try to keep the peaks under\n-6db, and we adjust the Gain on each of the new tracks so that all\nvolumes are similar, and more importantly comfortable. Once this is done\nwe can \"Mix and Render\" all of our tracks into a single track for export\nto the .FLAC file which is uploaded to the HPR server.

\n

At this point we listen back to the whole file and we work on the\nshownotes. This is when we can cut out anything that needs to be cut,\nand we can also make sure that we put any links in the shownotes that\nwere talked about during the recording of the show. We finish the\nshownotes before exporting the .aup file to .FLAC so that we can paste a\ncopy of the shownotes into the audio file\'s metadata.

\n

At this point we add new, empty audio tracks into which we paste the\nintro, outro and possibly outtakes, and we rename each track\naccordingly.

\n

Remember to save often when using Audacity. We like to save after\neach of these steps. Audacity has a reputation for being \"crashy\" but if\nyou remember save after every major transform, you will wonder how it\never got that reputation.

  • Great reading, great audio quality, fun setting and setup. It had\nthe feel of a role playing adventure at the beginning, but was well\nfleshed out by the middle. It would have been slightly better if all of\nthe guest voices had had a pronunciation guide for the names.
