So, my actual play group and I originally started streaming on Twitch before going to pre-recorded sessions on YouTube. We recorded on a single track with background music using Zoom, a GoXLR, and OBS for the entire series. For various reasons we kept this for our production process but everyone got better mics over time.
If we were to start over now, I would make sure to do individual tracks for everyone in something like Riverside, but I can’t fix it now.
We have 74 episodes published on YouTube with another 6 recorded (which finishes the series). We have a small following with a few thousand views on our YT channel. Is it worth going back to edit the old episodes into audio-only eps? I’d probably just cut each 3-hour episode in half, cut out our intros and outros and put canned versions in their place.
