~DESCRIPTION~

This is a collection of soundsets from the old BBC show 'Blackadder'. Recorded, edited, and agonized over by yours truly. If you've never heard of it then don't worry, I'm here to elucidate!

The First Soundset:

Titular 'hero' and sometime Elizabethan schmuck Edmund Blackadder is ready to assail you with his razor-sharp wit and sardonic responses. Best suited for greedy rogues and plotting court magicians.

The Second Soundset:

Baldrick is the genial dogsbody and steadfast manservant of Edmund Blackadder. Always quick with a questionable plan, he's best suited for panicky thieves and apologetic thugs.

The Third Soundset:

Lord Percy Percy is a fool, jester, and supremely underappreciated chum! Best suited for bards, rogues, and over-enthusiastic gentry.

--A QUICK NOTE--

The sound quality is as good as it's going to get. I've removed countless pops, cracks and snaps, as well as laugh tracks, background noise, coughing, etc., but I'm only one person with limited time on my hands. The audio source also has over thirty years on its neck, so there's that.

--CREDITS--

Source: Blackadder (all seasons and specials); Owned by BBC; Voiced by Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, and Tim McInnerny, as Blackadder, Baldrick, and Lord Percy Percy respectively. This is a non-profit fancreation for private use only.

    A mod so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel

    An update so cunning you can brush your teeth with it!

    I've been working on and off on a soundset for Queen Elizabeth I from season 2. I've all the lines picked out but it might take a while before it's all done (and tested).

    G'day Wres,
    I'm trying to create a sound set for BG 2 and was wondering how you removed the background sounds from the original track?

    Was going to ask the wise woman, but your the next best thing.

    The answer you want is perhaps not the one I'm going to give you: I did it with a lot blood, sweat, and tears. And OCD.

    The good news is anyone can do what I did. The bad news is it's probably not the best way to go about it.

    I used Audacity to just zoom in and manually remove as much stuff as I could. There are probably ways to filter things out so you don't have to go about it in such a labor intensive way, but I'm just a rank amateur so fuck if I know.

    The fade tool is pretty handy.

    Nah, I'm happy with doing the work. I just need a tool to do it with. Haven't got any idea how to use Audacity, so I don't know anything about a 'zoom' feature. I've still got it somewhere, so will have another look.

    I have been using Oceanaudio, very simple to use.
