HAPPY FRIDAY, PODMOER'S!!!!

In keeping with sly_hostetter's post yesterday, I'd like to ask, "What makes you want to keep podficcing?"

We've all had those days when Audacity crashes and loses our work or recording a take feels like pulling teeth or no matter how many times you try, you simply cannot say that one Nordic incantation in your Thor podfic. What makes you come back to the mic, no matter how many times the external forces get you down?

Let's inspire each other to keep going! o/\o

O.O I finally spent 3 hours last night recording for #ITPE - took two tries, because I recorded the first 30 minutes through the wrong audio input, and then realized I'd left the fan on but decided to keep going anyway.....

AND AUDACITY LOST THE WHOLE THING.

I have an hour of rough edits saved in a different file, thank god, but there are words missing due to visual editing that I can usually go fill in with the raw audio later. NOT THIS TIME.

*manic laugh*

I'm going to have to do a FOURTH TAKE omg.

I'm cursed.

T__________T. A, that is HORRIBLE. I recently lost an entire podfic due to an Audacity crash, but it was only 25 mins, so I paid for it in a fandom auction. Your situation sounds MUCH worse. :(

Hugs? Cuddles? Alcohol?

It's back! IT'S BACK AHHHhhhhhhhhh. I opened it one last time just to make sure and then it was there and I just saved a backup immediately omg.

I would have been ready to throw in the towel at that point. For real. 4 tries recording something is TOO MUCH. *crazy eyes*

In the end I got my audio back and then recorded for one hour and did the rough edits - AND SAVED DUPLICATES OF EVERYTHING OMG - so my #ITPE is about 3/4 recorded! :D
