UPDATE: I was able to get enough feedback that I felt comfortable moving forward with scheduling one of these. But I’m still interested to hear advice on efficiently getting quality sound. I didn’t get into this wanting to spend hours trying to adjust sound quality. I just wanted to share some things that might help people, but this one felt like it took over my life. I’m grateful for all the support in here. 🙏 ORIGINAL POST I’ve been trying for two days to get my audio track to at least be good enough, but I don’t think it is. Originally, after I did my usual adjustments in Audacity to bring up and balance the volume, it had a hiss. So, I decreased background noise in Audacity which fixed the hiss but now it seems like S and T sounds are too high. I have sensitive hearing so maybe it’s acceptable to others, but it’s meditation so I don’t want it to sound irritating to anyone. ChatGPT suggested lowering a certain Hz point in Audacity’s filter curve EQ but I can’t get it to work. When I click on the line and drag the dot that appears, the whole line moves down instead of just that point. I did apply treble cut which helped some. I also have two (unlisted) versions of the audio and can’t tell which is better because they sound different depending on the device. I’ll put the second one in comments. If anyone can give feedback or suggestions on how to fix this and which version is better, I’d sure appreciate it! I love this meditation, so hoping I can get the sound to do it justice. I think my crooked teeth make my Ss whistle even more! LOL. Ack. Also wondering if I shouldn’t have done lossless recording option in VoiceMemo. I’m very new at this and have a cheap lav mic. TIA!! 🙏 https://youtu.be/mipK8X4Dp-g?si=FFL_I5DG88g6QPU2

My channel is only a month old (but I’m in it to win it). ;) VidIQ is offering 55% off a monthly subscription forever (including Live Feed). Do y’all think it’s worth it? I’ve been using the free version for titles, descriptions, and looking at outlier videos, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I use chatgpt (and myself) for title ideas and then see how they score with VidIQ. It’s been helpful (although views are of course low at this stage), but it’s also time consuming to do it that way and they only give one set of title suggestions per day with the free version. I think Alexa also recommended comparing both VidIQ and Tube Buddy keyword analytics, but I haven’t gotten that far. I’ve also seen several YT teachers recommend Descript, but I don’t even know if that offers title/keyword help. I’d love to hear your experience. TIA!

Hello everyone. I have a neck injury and I have been put to rest (no computer work). So this week's call will be cancelled. Let's reconnect next Thursday. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Hello there! My new video is out, I would love to get your feedback on it! https://youtu.be/LrSJvb6Lhn4?si=qJ_a8LsqyCPgsXCC

But, perhaps for me the community is too big. I kind of feeling a bit like drowning... Perhaps I'm not at the right place. Not because I haven't learned anything, but I need a more personal approach. So, I'm considering moving to a smaller community. Also, I get the impression that this community is not so much for beginners like me, starting from ZERO. SO, THANKS TO ALL. Take care and wish all the best!
