[no spoilers] Props to CW (Sound person)
I just looked at the latest Lore Keepwr’s Ledger and I was DELIGHTED to read that they were spending some time with CW, the sound person. And I realized that I haven’t had ANY complaints about mixing or sound in C4!
I used to hate how sometimes players voices were so different in volume in old campaigns, or they were so dynamic that when they went quiet I had to crank the volume on my car stereo while driving, only to have someone else burst out in loud laughter and be too loud.
Or sibilance. Sometimes cast or guests would be very sibilant and those S sounds were ear piercing.
And every time I’d be like … can they not use modern mixing tools like compressors, gates, expanders, de-easers etc to get quality balanced sound? Why is this mix so bad? Even at parts in C3 when it was no longer live.
I’m happy to realize that those days are long gone and I didn’t even realize it. When somebody is doing everything right, you tend not to notice that they’re doing anything at all.
So my apologies and my appreciation to CW, whoever you are, thank you!
