It's Very Cute, But It Hurts (Day 3973 - 10/10/20)

Kepler loves his bacon toy. It has been raining outside a little, so it's good that Kepler was able to distract himself. Stephen says that they recorded 1,000 Blank White Cards for game night. He says that he had fun talking with everyone. Stephen really loves Kepler, but Kepler was being really clingy. He had to put Kepler outside when they were recording because he kept pawing at Stephen's leg which scratched it. Stephen knows that Kepler is not trying to hurt him, but he'll scratch Stephen's leg if Stephen doesn't immediately give him any attention. He says that Kepler started doing this once Sagan passed away. Stephen says that it's really cute behavior, but it hurts because of his claws. He has cat scratch marks all over the side of his knee from Kepler. Kepler is probably happy now since they finished recording and he can be around them.

Today, Stephen released the 2nd episode of Among Us and some viewers commented that the game audio pitch sounds like it's shifted down. Stephen thought that couldn't be right because Dan edited it and he and Mallory checked it by watching through the video. But, some people have played Among Us more than they have, so they realized that the game audio was deeper than usual. The viewers were right that the audio pitch was shifted down. He had Dan check his project file and make sure his settings were correct. Dan found that the issue came from Stephen's part of the recording. Stephen checked his settings and everything was set up correctly. He hit some buttons and opened up MMMBop by Hanson on YouTube and agreed that their voices were deeper than usual.

The Elgato has a pass-through and he ran the pass-through into the audio interface. Stephen put on headphones to hear the direct feed from the Elgato on the left side. He was listening to the audio from the speakers from OBS on the right. One side had normal audio while the other had a deeper sounding audio. After checking all the settings, he concluded that everything was fine. Then, in an act of desperation he disabled and re-enabled the Elgato which fixed everything. There are 2 weeks until Extra Life 2020. Stephen says that Extra Life will come up soon since every week passes by so quickly. He can't wait to see his friends and eat snacks. Stephen asks viewers if anyone who uses an Elgato camera has had these audio problems. He has used and trusted the Black Magic camera, so he might go down that road if he's getting more equipment.
