Exactly!!! I don’t care how gorgeously realistic it is, if we can’t hear them fucking talk, it’s not effective.

This is also why I have a hard of hearing consultant. If she can’t understand what’s being said, the vocal effects need to be eased up

This is also why I do at least one review pass with no headphones. I don’t need to get all the gorgeous details, but if I can’t get the plot and action of the episode without headphones, that’s an issue.

My sound designers hate this.

1. hate heavy panning. It’s nauseating, it’s inaccessible for listeners with variable hearing.
2. An episode that is not able to work with suboptimal listening conditions is not an effective episode. If I need 300 dollar headphones to enjoy it at all, you’re not mixing well.

You’ve GOT to have some gooey viscera!

A favorite pastime

And we were correct

Ey have the range

Stay strong

In light of this, I'm going to be upping the goal from 3K to 4k. We're already almost 1/4 of the way there. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. Every single cent helps.

The bad news is that I have been sent what I hope to be the final invoice, and it includes another 1360 dollars of fees.

This brings the total amount remaining to be paid from 2,823 to 4,183.

UPDATE: Milestones and extra fees

Hi all. Good news/Bad News time.

The good news: The first milestone of $900 has been hit! I've also been able to arrange a payment plan in which the remaining cost can be paid in 2 installments, one on December 15th, the next January 15th.

Cerebral enough to cut out the middle man. Blunt force trauma gets the job done!

It’s time!!!!

❤️

Thank you Tal

Feel better!
