BTS: Audio treatment
Added 2021-10-19 03:41:08 +0000 UTCHey, if these emails are irritating: I've contacted Patreon support to find out if it's possible to create an opt-in feature. I'm thinking if I make a second five-dollar tier, it should be possible for anyone who can currently see this to opt in or out of just the behind-the-scenes posts. I won't be surprised if they don't understand what I'm trying to do, so if anyone else has tried this before, let me know if it works.

Here's a sneak peek of A) the difficulties of the audio situation, but B) how manageable it's clearly going to be. Just the addition of these curtains, which I bought at Goodwill and literally stapled to the wall (temporarily - they're already down and I will get a curtain rod tomorrow) has made a difference, and another set will probably help even more.

Yeah, on the one hand I know the ideal here is to cover the entire space with various materials; the trouble is I just don't have the time, money or expertise for it in the near future. I'm sure I could hire someone to come out and just Do It Right, but I'm guessing it's gonna be mid four figures minimum, and I just don't have it right now, so I'm kinda looking for in-between options.

The situation was similar, very tall ceiling, concrete floor and just a lot of plain walls. You couldn't make a conference call without people asking if you were in the bathroom because of the reverb.
