The process of recording podfic
Aug. 1st, 2010 10:42 amI just saw an interesting comment on the
multipodicity/
podremix that stated that the ratio of finished podfic length to recording/editing time is something like 1:10 although it can be up to 1:20. I confess this kind of shocked me since my ratio is more like 1:3 or 1:4.
Possibly this is related to my tendency to not edit fics hugely but to try to write them well first time, since once I've done something I don't generally then find it easy to 'hear' it in a different way? I don't know. I'm intrigued because I kind of want to know if my podfics are suffering because of it, if there's something I need to be doing better.
Those of you who record podfic, a couple of questions:
What's your finished podfic: recording/editing time ratio, roughly?
How many times are you likely to re-record a podfic/sections of a podfic? Is this due to mistakes or trying out different expression etc?
What takes up the most editing time?
Any answers would be hugely appreciated, thanks!
(Maybe I should make a poll...)
