In Topic: Edwin Romance is here!

I believe Wynne also considers herself "close" and I know that on my friend Bohus's pro mic we stand VERY close indeed.


Yes, but what do you do when you're recording sound clips? :D

Oh, another really stupid trick with mikes that I find works well. If you're using a simple PC mike, and getting a lot of problems with pops and huffing, try putting a rolled up sock over the microphone. It works, honest!

(I wonder what I can fool him into doing next?)

Our 'Edwin ringer' is alive and well, and sounds as perfect as ever. Lol!

I'd be equally concerned with his sound studio set-up. Having volume shifts and static/hiss/echo is as jarring to immersion as an accent that's different than the original.

It's been my experience that you can produce good quality sound using very simple equipment, with a bit of know-how and some good sound sampling software. The secret of good quality recordings is simply not to stand too close to the mike. Also, with voice acting you really have to camp it up quite a bit in order for it to sound dramatic. Another thing to bear in mind is that BGII doesn't require CD quality sound, so you don't have to worry too much.

As for sound volume, removing background hisses, etc...that'll all be sorted in editing!

If you feel your mods are lacking in the sound department, you can always ask a Gasping Concubine to help you out! :lol:

Can I just mention here that I've met Terry Pratchett? :D

Yes, Laufey, I know you're sick of hearing me say that... :P

i need a Enjoyable Partnership fix too...when can we see more???  i have read all edwin and nalia stories you have in the novella section, now i am cracking the whip...i want more cards reshuffled, and more nalia and edwin, joined at the hip..hehehhehhehe...


Well, I posted the entire Curse of Apathy on the Attic boards ages ago, I'm just really slow at uploading it to the novellas section :). Since you asked so nicely, (without death threats, which is quite unusual for the readership I attract) I'll upload part five tonight. It's a seven parter altogether.

The new story in the series is a ten parter, and I'm currently writing part eight out of a possible ten- unless it grows again!

i dont think i read keldy stories, that guy is just annoying, i cant stand pallys, never could...tho minsc made a darned good undead hunter in my game...


Hehhe, if you don't like paladins, you might like the romance I wrote *veg*. Do you want to see Keldorn broken utterly and twisted to the Dark Side? It can be done...

i am so glad you like the "hello cthulhu"...its not humor for everyone, just us literate types on the board, but to us, its just so so so funny.... :)  :)  :)  :) 


I see I need to read some H.P. Lovecraft....

(Finally remembered my uid and pass for this board)

Coo, you read my Enjoyable Partnership series? I'm flattered! It sounds like you've not read the Attic boards, since the final story, Curse of Apathy, was actually completed a couple of months ago now. I'm currently working on a new story in the series, A Tale of Two Mages.

If you fancy reading something evil, dark and utterly non-Edwin related, you may want to take a look at Corruption of Keldorn, a dialogue sequence I wrote for a slightly unusual romance with keldorn... <_<

Anyway, since you've reminded me, I'll upload the next chapter while I think of it! In it, the two mages have a huge row, and we finally find out exactly what Edwin's amulet does!

There, uploaded it...go and nosey!
