Got about an hour of editing done this morning; I actually have a question for the comm!

So the reason I had to delete Sunday's recording was that there was a bunch of feedback--not background noise, but a loud electric hum--through most of the recording. I've had this happen to me once before, too, and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out why.

Someone suggested it was bc my laptop was plugged in/charging while recording, but I have always recorded w/ it plugged in before w/o a problem.

The first time it happened I thought it was because I was recording sitting at a table & kept leaning forward/back toward/away from the laptop; thought maybe the varying distance of mic/laptop was an issue (I use a headset mic). But I didn't do that last time & it still happened.

It's happened in two different houses--neither of them mine--and I've gotten a clean recording in one of those houses, too.

I am at a total loss! Any ideas?

20 mins of editing, but I really need to get back to recording for PodBang...

[glittertine]

35m of editing! :)

42min of editing today.

8 minutes of re-recording for a podfic that had some faults, then 10 minutes of new recording. And then 15 minutes of editing.

About 30 minutes of editing, and I finished part 3 of 5. HUZZAH.

I spent... a while making cover art, half an hour recording and an hour editing. And I posted two things today! So I feel accomplished.

25 Minutes more of recording! Yay. Oddly what's going well is that I'm in the process of getting slightly ill, which means that I have a nice raspy low range that works very well for one of my characters, but can still hit the slightly higher tone I need for the other.

On the other hand, I'm now in a house with a cat who finds me being on the computer fascinating and likes to tangle herself up in my headset cords. XD

Congrats to all who are doing well though, I can't wait to start editing this piece... even if it takes me forever.

I spent about half an hour on the 13th playing around with my new microphone, and I recorded a very short (three-minute) podfic that can serve as a demonstration! It's over here. :)
