That's where the story effectively completes. All of the author contracts were completed, but unfortunately the secondary narration project came to a crashing halt prior to completion.

As much as everyone loved being a part of Upbeat Tales, it just... didn't continue.

Someone asked what's going on with Upbeat Tales.

This should be quick.

🧵

[Upbeat Tales @UpbeatTales]

An attempt was made to bring on a freelance audio editor for Upbeat Tales as well as another narration project, but the quality was lacking. Because UT was not monetized, there wasn't any budget for a higher skill audio editor.

If anyone knows how to automate the removal of weird mouth sounds, teach me your ways.

[Upbeat Tales @UpbeatTales]

This is what the work looks like when you have an overly-particular editor: Identifying and cutting out micro-second snippets from unavoidable awkward mouth sounds in the otherwise spectacular narration.

It's a combination of hearing the sound then finding the audio wave for it.
