So I have had this video laying for a while - sadly i had major sound issues on this one & therefore i had a really high tech editor to have a look at it and this is what he got around to in the end. I, myself, is a really bad judge of my own videos & my own sound quality..
Which of the videos has the best overall sound

Thank uuu <3

Finally got around to listen to it too, tbh i still really like the video. But in the first version it feels like removing the background noise (i'm assuming thats what the editor did?) makes it feel a bit bland at times. In the second version i like that a lot better and tbh i dont mind a bit of backgroundnoise anyway because it keeps my adhd brain from getting distracted if that makes sense?

1st one has less BG but the trigger sounds bad imo, it sounds like the lower frequencies are too low in volume. 2nd one the BG is more noticable, which I personally dont mind and the trigger sounds a lot better

I think second video sounds better (I couldn't listen to the first one for more than 10 seconds), but both of them sounds bad to me, like if I was listening with a crappy headphones and at low bitrate. I'm comparing it to VOD from live performance from May 2023: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1811927803?t=0h10m35s I'm afraid this is beyond salvageable kaatCry Edit: Actually… I just listened again to both video and they now seems OK to me. It helps when I adjust volume to match what's in the VOD

2nd one overall. The first one is just a tad bit to harsh and I actually prefer less sterile asmr.

I preferred the 2nd video. There seems to be a bit of a trade-off when removing the background noise in the 1st video. You hear less background noise to nearly none in the 1st one. But at the cost of also hearing less of everything else to the point I liked the 2nd one more.

The 1st one has way less background noise, at least from what i hear at my end

The only thing you will hear is 10x worse background noise in the original video. 🥺 The second video does have added gain to it.

I am not gonna vote. I liked both videos, i had no problems with the sound in either. As long as there is no background noise, both videos will be fine with me. :)

Looking at the polls it's 2/3 and 1/3 so far; maybe if you do decide to post the most popular one the less popular one could be linked in as an unlisted video?

Final verdict: I like the sound in video 2, but I like the background in video 1. Both great. Would/will listen to either :) you're my favorite ASMr-tist.

2nd one for me, gentler background noise and the trigger as well.

Just realizing i only clicked play on the video IN patreon here. Will need to listen to both before i vote, but what I said above still stands at 9 minutes in.

BYW, I made sure that I was listening to the same 2 minutes for both videos.

First video has the better sound quality to my ears. It sounds like I could be in the same room with you as there is NO background noise at all - just the sounds of the trigger. The second one has a bit of a background noise - it's very low but it's detectable - I guess it's the sound of the mic just being open (if that makes sense). The first video does not have this at all. The trigger scratching seems more raw and not "smoothed" when compared to #2. For comparison, I used the next ten seconds after your eye-wink around the 53 second mark. So the next downstroke after the eye-wink. I preferred #1 to the more "filtered or processed or muted" sound of #2, if that makes any sense at all - finding it hard to put my impressions into words. :) I'll add that my first choice was #2 until I noticed the lack of bg noise in #1. After I picked up on that, I found it hard to listen to #2 in the same way and preferred #1. So I'll go for #1.

I'm only 4 minutes in. I like this one. I am noticing a difference though. It's not bad, its just difference. Most of your videos/scratches have like an echo, or a fade with them. This one doesn't have that. It still sounds good though, but is a diffferent sound. I'd post it, or I'd turn on a small echo/reverb to see if that changes your mind on it.

I am very biased, I like both 🥺

Ok so I will leave this message on both areas. With this I can't vote because they both sound roughly the same. And the quality is very poor sound wise. I would like to hear the original without any editing for the sound changes. It seems like the only thing that happened was the gain was turned way up because you can hear the hiss in the background.

Simple yet relaxing 😌 I rarely "watch" videos, I'm more a listener and the audio for me is great 👍 And your smile and shimmering eyes are 🫠

Thank uuu 🥺

Hopefully you can stop worrying about it and get some rest. Feel better faster. 😉💜
Katrine ASMR
You got a point 🥺 thanks hon ❤️
Brad Lynch
I know that trusting your own judgment can be difficult, but never forget that you've built an audience that loves your style of doing things. Whether you're confident in your editing or not, it's part of what makes you unique. You didn't get to 100K subscribers by being bad at it. 💜
Olivier Diprose
I would say the first video
Geoffrey
Personally leaning towards video 2
Katrine ASMR
Thats exactly what Im thinking.. Video 1 is edited by the editor - video 2 is my own edit. I dont wanna be biased, which is why i ask you guys - cus i personally prefer my own aswell *shy*
Brad Lynch
Already did. I got a notification when you edited it. #2 isn't as abrasive in my opinion.
Katrine ASMR
Do you prefer video 1 or 2? <3
Katrine ASMR
I changed the post - will you give it another look, hon? Thank you <3
Katrine ASMR
Thanks sweety - i changed the post abit - will you have alook again and give me your opinion? <3
Geoffrey
Sounds pretty good
aurora_aeterna
It's certainly different from the usual videos but it is good in its own way. I think I can see why you would have sound issues with this one though.
Brad Lynch
Objectively, the sound quality seems fine. Subjectively, I'm not a fan of the backscratcher sounds. It's kinda harsh on my ears, but that's just my opinion and probably not what you're asking about.

15 seconds into the vid, and i got a HUGE spine tingle!! whatever you did, keep doing it!!
