  1. almost forgot.! DAW! Twisted Wave, baby! powerful, but simple UI. I mean we do VO...what else do you need...?
  2. Just found this forum. My "success manager" mentioned it. scrolling thru the topics, this one caught my eye. and with the benefit of 40 years of studio work, I'll throw in my "two cents" on "gear" recorded in studios around the world. Tasmania to France...VO, not music, but did party with rock stars a few times...i digress... TLDR? space not mic. try to achieve -70db. -65db is okay. keep it simple. no processing. NONE. (often my raw file makes the final cut - you should get your audio THAT GOOD). save that file. the engineers need it, because your attempts at processing will fall short - and they want it "naked". Trying to cover for a crappy space? they'll be unhappy with you. If you need effects,IF, get a stack made for you by a pro. specifically for your voice/space...Apply it, then send two files. Client chooses... My travel studio gear is a duplicate of my main studio. I send it ahead to my destination, or check it in luggage with a tracker...depends. Mics? a 416 or TLM103, maybe an NT1...(just had a large video game sound designer tell me they like you to use that mic. go figure)...because those fit my voice and are "standards". rolls personal monitor, audient id14 mk 2, good cables, mac mini M1...passive reference monitors...and active monitors...dt770 pro in the booth - many more around the studio - ...external video monitors, 28" minimum, ... I've used an SM7 (before there was a "B")...and talked into an SM5 for years...neither of those are appropriate for VO. unless it's for the local pizzeria, and the VO will be crushed with compression before being squeezed out the transmitter. The engineer on the other end of your source connect session will not like an SM7. Will others notice? maybe not. SM7 is okay for podcast work, but that's about it. Snob? maybe. Earned it. Get higher standards, you might find yourself in a place to dance with the big boys..... so you might as well be ready... As to the "union snobs"... F them. jealous they are...get really good at your craft, have repeat clients...get paid. It's really quite simple....Good luck to all...I'm always surprised at some of the talent on fiverr. inspiring...you make me better... cheers all!
  3. (RAISES HAND). pick me…pretty please?
  4. Great. Thanks for the reply. So, it is another “carrot and stick” mechanism. If you get an ornery buyer, who say, gives a 4 star review, or cancels then you pay the price by not getting paid faster…? Hmmm… My view is, either let me get my money “early payout” all the time, or not. Leave the “wildcard” of buyers out of the equation. They get their 1% extra. If I’ve spent years building a business, it’s the least they can do…
  5. Hello! yes, great feature, but not allowing it those orders that are not “manually” completed…seems random. Why not ALL orders…? weird.
  6. For what it’s worth - my interaction with Fiverr CS has been nothing but great. I hope they can “twist the dials” to make this right. The additional disk space should be negligible. I mean, how much data do you REALLY have on fiverr…
  7. Wow, interesting thread. Perhaps a standard disclaimer from Fiverr to notify clients that downloaded, delivered audio is full quality, and posted samples are a “down grade” for efficiency? Not sure what the solution is…in fact, never even considerd it. But, now that you mention it…it would be nice to have those full quality files… Best regards, dave
