Creating 'Attending Lady Dimi' Behind the Scenes

Since this is kind of a special audio, I figured I'd include a few behind the scenes images for everyone.

1a - In the first image, you'll see the completed audio. The top track is the voice recording. I know most people will put the words and segments on different tracks, but I like to keep it all on one so I can keep the FX straight. On that one I have noise cancelling and a noise gate for clicks, pops, and the like. There's a second track for voice in my default setup if I ever need it with the same FX setup. Normally, I use this for re-recording or recording new ones before splicing them into the top track.

1b - The SFX track(s) are for things like door sounds or clothing noises or the like. It's 50/50 whether I try recording these myself or look for something from freesound.org. If the SFX gets too much, I'll add more of these tracks and it can get pretty spicy.

1c - Background FX - These tracks are for the background sounds. Cave dripping, wind, lava, fireplace... Things like that. I love layering these for great backgrounds. Quite a few of these also come from freesound.org, but I also have quite a few I recorded personally from when I lived on a farm out in the middle of nowhere. If anyone has a Note9, it can record in stereo and makes exceptional ambient recordings. ^_^

1d - This last one is a special one. Since I removed the noise from the original voice track (no one wants to hear my server) I have to add in SOME sort of ambient sound... So I usually add in, at a VERY low volume, a special binaural chord track that I made while in the Air Force doing relaxation research. It's a type of 5 tonal noise tuned to a harmonic scale centered around a lower C.

2 - The second image is the finished product of the thumbnail with all the layers from the template assembled, including all the old stuff I leave in there for Various settings I reuse whether the character is centered, left or right or text placement or how the purple filter is used. And yes, everything gets the purple filter. ^_^ Purple is life.

3 - This is the easiest part and usually takes less than 5 minutes, incuding render time. I drag everything into the media box of DaVinci Resolve, drag it from there to the edit timeline below, add the transitions, extend the thumbnail to the end, then flip to the Deliver page, punch in the settings, and just... Render it out.

Then we have a video for Youtube to demonetize as soon as it's uploaded. ^_^
