After the Satellite Skirmish: Autumn Rust

The Skirmish is over, and it was a great time. Something went wrong with the stream during the first song of the set, so there was a sound loop that threw things off. If it was the restreaming system, sounds like it should get fixed in the recording when that's all put together (edit: not an issue in the recording). Despite that causing a temporary halt to my set, I played through the rest of it afterward and managed to squeeze in finishing before the time was up with something like 15sec spare.

Lessons learned:

• Record locally while streaming, just in case
• Get a condenser mic and an arm for it (probably AT2020, but open to recommendations)
  • Should pick up less of the room than the dynamic I have right now
  • Easier to get close so my voice is audible
  • One caveat will be to figure out a shortcuts/macros to switch between audio profiles for ocarina and voice
• Use a relaxant, perhaps? I was chock full of adrenaline during that performance, particularly after the stream issues with the first song, so a shot of liquor shortly before the set might have taken the edge off.

It was a ton of fun going through the live chat after the set to both respond to people and see the discussion about my sword when people noticed it in the background. 😆

Thank you to the production crew and everyone else who made the event happen! Would love to perform in future Skirmishes and more events.
