Feedback Needed My first Episode

[Drakhen99]

@Drakhen99, you mentioned Alex Audio Butler in one of your videos. But apparently, they are no longer selling it and are now selling a stand-alone (non-plugin) product called EndBoost on a monthly subscription.
The price seems too high, and exiting my editor and futzing around with another application is a non-starter. Is it that good? Is my mix that bad?

DANG! I had no idea! Sorry man - as a subscription-only service, I am 100% not interested. Especially now that it's a standalone app instead of a plug-in. Yuck. I want it all inside Resolve! BUT, it is VERY good at what it does.

And no, your mix was not bad at all - but using AAB has made it zero effort for me. I literally drag & drop the plugins onto my timeline in the Fairlight tab, play through the video, and all the mixing and leveling is done.

@Drakhen99, thanks for taking the time to review the video and provide helpful feedback. One of the things that I've noticed the channels I like do is they have a phrase they repeat in each video. Like ItchyBoots' "Good morning, Internet!" I think mine will be in the outro. I write a script for the voice-over work that needs to include the "Tune in next time for..." kind of teaser.

I'm planning on adding some talking-to-the-camera moments. ItchyBoots always does this, as does "As the Magpie Flies." I think it will improve the connection that viewers will have with me. Of course, I'm a 55-year-old fat guy, not a blonde Dutch girl, so I'll be somewhat disadvantaged!

Off to watch some Davinci Audio tutorials!

Yeah, everyone's got their "catch phrases" - I have one towards the beginning and one at the end... at least when I remember.

Sounds like you have a good plan - and if Shadetree Surgeon is any indicator, the blonde woman thing isn't 100% necessary.

Good luck finding some Audio plugins - if you find a replacement for Alex Audio Butler, let me know! I'm always looking to check out plugins that make my editing life easier

Yeah. I'm hoping that sales are dropping like flies and they realize the error of their ways. But until then, I did at least get a pair of headphones, and man can I hear every little flaw! Bout some Status CB-1s after watching this video:

Huh, I'm not sure I have any catch phrases. Maybe I need to think one up....

You'll get there... put out about 300 more videos and catch up to me, LOL

Those should be perfect. I have Audio-Technicas which are probably very comparable to yours, and I use them for editing videos and music, and also for listening to music. Really, any comfortable set of studio monitors (headphones or speakers) are a worthwhile investment, IMO.
