More studio problems delayed this recording, and if you listen to the introduction, you’ll hear the quality hurting. We had two problems.
1. Apparently one of our microphones in the studio puts on an annoying buzz that shows up in the playback, but doesn’t show up amidst the background noise visually. I removed it best I could, but it was too painful to listen to anything but Shannon’s brief introduction with. So poor Shannon, trooper that she is. got in and rerecorded the Chapter.
2. Pro Tools decided not to allow me to edit any files. 7 days of emails and phone calls back and forth, and I discovered that Windows sometimes sets files to be able to be compressed even if you don’t want it to. Apparently, it has something to do with the scan disk function.
At any rate, everything was back up and running, and last night amidst recording Sonic Society, Sonic Gold, some acting work for Zombie Astronaut, and Broken Sea’s Grog & Gryphon I got to cobble together my private joy. The Age of Adventure.
I can’t really put into words how it makes me feel to be present while Shannon is reading this novel of mine. Not only is it truly a work of love and a trip down my own memory lane of childhood, she just is able to bring the characters alive for me. She really is a gifted reader and actress. I’m incredibly lucky, and trust me, I know it.
This week represents the end of a halfway mark. Shannon and I will take a two week story hiatus (What? You just had a series of breakdowns! Wasn’t that enough!?) Well, when you’re scrambling to fix technical things, you’re not able to work on the story editing.
But trust me, things will not go completely on hiatus. Shannon and I will have some interum interviews of our works. It should be a lot of fun, and I hope you continue to stick around- In the Age of Adventure.
