Ah, the joys of technology and unexpected hiccups! It can be quite frustrating when things don't go as planned, like sounding like a robot in your last recording. Reinstalling Voicemeeter sounds like a reasonable solution to get your audio back on track.
Don't worry about the delay in moving some content to next week. Life happens, and it's important to take the time you need to settle into your new offline job. Good luck with reinstalling Voicemeeter and getting everything sorted out. Remember, sometimes it's all about rolling with the punches and adapting as we go along. GG indeed!
