Currently I have 3 videos simultaneously in development hell right now.
One is “How Gearbox Ruined Halo Combat Evolved”, the other is “Why Eco-Friendly Products are Bullshit”, a third is “Content Gulag: Studygram”.
My problems are these:
- No progress. Even in terms of which to start and which to continue
- Self-confidence be damned. I don’t have that.
- Shitty mic and broke. Saving for an audio interface rn.
- Burn out. weeks of doing nothing but modding is tiring for me.
I can only comment on the shitty mic part. There’s a lot that can be done with software processing - leveling volume, cutting static and background noise, adjusting the sound of your voice. I recommend VSTHost with reaper plugins. The two really useful ones are:
reagate - noise gate. It cuts audio below a certain threshold. Great for random noises in the back, mouth sounds, etc. Here is a good explainer on how to use it.
reaeq - equalizer. You can tune out ambient sounds, level your voice frequencies, and compensate for all the weird things that cheap mics do. There’s a bunch of youtube videos on how to set up a good baseline for voice recording, and from there you can adjust by feel.
