Turns out when you record for 3.5 hours with 20 people editing takes a long fuckin time
it took 3.5 hours just to cut out all the silence from each person's audio channel :angery:
Next comes actually editing it down and making it listenable
Instead of manually cutting the silence you could use a gate in each channel to auto cut out anything lower than a certain threshold. Could save you some time next time.
I can do that in kdenlive? I've never done editing before haha (I'm also not the main editor though so don't worry, the important parts are being done by people who know things lol)
Not sure about that, meverheard if it, but cubase and logic have em as standard and are available at all good torrent sites.
Audacity also has it and is free but is for working on one file at a time, not arranging like this.
Though if you're collaborating with others and all using that kdenlive thing that might be better. You could process them all first with audacity and import.

Editors are seriously underrated. Most good audio/visual works are really the works of good editors.
I'd say content creators in general are severely underrated. It always sticks in my craw when people say shit like, "CTH makes millions doing two hours of work a week." Like first of all, they don't make millions, and second of all, every minute of content takes ten times as much prep time if you're doing it right.
When I was blogging twice a day, it was a six hour a day job, and that's if I was firing on all cylinders. It took literally all my free time when I wasn't at work or asleep. I had to research, fact check, write, revise, edit, and if I ever had to interview someone or just simply make calls to get someone's comment, that could take hours all on its own. Plus you're trying to stay timely and topical, and sometimes I'd be done with a post and news events would make the entire thing completely irrelevant, and that was during the Bush years when news wasn't moving a tenth as fast. I ended up creating a reserve of posts that were not time-sensitive so I'd have something to post on days like that, because the content train must keep rolling nonstop or else you loose subscriber.
Can you boost the audio and time stretch it to last several minutes with flashing text "BUH FARTED"?
What did y'all use to record everyone on separate channels like that? Is that something Discord does on its own?
Awesome!
Will this show up in all major podcast apps? The more ears on this the better.
Good work, but:
- Use an audio gate to cut out most silence.
- Cut out the rest using a script (gee, if only we had a /c/programming to help with such requests).
