5D’s Dub-Uncut Episode 22 - WIP #3: Planting the Backstory Seed

Heya, folks, here’s a newer WIP video as I get more of this episode taken care of! Though I did have to trim a few things out just so I could actually upload it here and not have it blocked for everyone, so apologies for the jumping music.  Been a bit busier the last 2-3 weeks as an election I was volunteering on was wrapping up, but I’ve been able to get more done since which is good.

Really enjoyed how this one came together with “Izayoi Battle” fueling the dub, but I also tried to fix some of the dialogue to match the Japanese script a bit more because of how “meh” some of Akiza’s lines here were; the wonky methodology below the cut, if you’d like to see.

But let me know your thoughts! I’ll also be trying to make the mashed-up lines smoother as I quality-check everything before releasing the episode; I’ve pretty much finished it now, and I’m now adding back SFX and QCing with last-minute audio-level tweaking.  I’ll share one more WIP which will have the full episode’s link as usual.

5D’s Dub-Uncut Episode 22 - WIP #1: Post-Attempted Murder on Motorcycles

Howdy, people! I’ve been getting some work underway for the next in the 5D’s Dub-Uncut series since finalizing my GX 44-46 subs, and wanted to post a preview a bit ago… but what kept me busy from finalizing said subs extended to getting around to this, lol.  

So, just a little preview here for you; I recreated how I ended Dub-Uncut!21, slightly tweaked to match the JP recap’s script, then led it seamlessly into the new audio from 22 proper (save for the SFX around Greiger’s “Goodwin!” scream which we’re stuck with), giving Goodwin the reverb effect I give the MC.  I also tweaked what I did with Greiger’s grunts before he screams, incorporating some of Bommer’s whimpers in between his grunts to make it sound more natural.

At this point, I’ve pretty much drafted the whole episode, and I’m now tweaking audio levels and adding SFX where things sound quiet.  Also, thanks to Duel Links, I’ve been able to restore Aki’s Synchro chant pretty well, which I’ll show off in a later video once levels are fixed.  I also need to find ways to hopefully minimize the annoying Akiza lines against Koda later in the episode…

5D’s “Dub-Uncut” Episode 26 WIP #3: The King Strikes Back

Here’s another peek! I think I may have finalized how the sound here will be, but I’m sure I might end up tweaking it more as I look it over at the end.  Really doesn’t help that Jack’s VA doesn’t sound as strong in certain parts in the original episode’s audio, which kinda makes his levels go all over the place… Had a few more Duel Links lines mixed in to get rid of the dumb trash-talk lines about Jack’s and Yusei’s time in the Satellite which was a bit improv’d; let me know if it sounds okay? Also got rid of Yusei’s “That was then and this is now!” line for a Duel Links “I activate my Continuous Trap” line; Duel Links’s really going to be a blessing~

Do let me know how you feel about the overall levels, too; I tried to match the volume of the BGM with how it seemed to be in the original, but sometimes the vocals ended up sounding lower so some had to be tweaked more in spots… It’s kind of annoying, actually. 😅

I’ve timed the music and lines up to about the People of the Stars bit, so once I finalize the mix pre-commercial break, I’ll draft things up some more.
