"maybe his issue is simply his voice, being low doesn't respond well to time alignment slides in real time"
The quality varies from good to terrible despite his voice being always the same voice.
"The people using his stream could be really skilled, with somebody really capable running them...
What explains why some videos some great and others terrible? Noam's hardware is always the same. My assumption is that sometimes they have noise-cancellation software on that messes things up, and other times they don't, and that explains the variation in quality.
OK, what if he just told future interviewers this: "Audio-quality for the interviews that I do ranges from fantastic to terrible. Since I never change my hardware, software-issues must be responsible for the huge variation in audio-quality. Hopefully we can avoid noise-cancellation software or...
I don't know what the software is, and it may vary from interview to interview.
I don't think that you're understanding how simple my proposal is here. He can say to them, each time: "Look at this vid. Quality is excellent, right? Now look at this vid. Quality is terrible, right?" And then he...
I think that you misread what I wrote. There is no "set A/B/C". There is just "look at A/B/C for proof that my hardware is capable of producing perfectly-fine audio-quality."
I'm just trying to figure out if I should tell Noam to tell future interviewers this: "Please look at A/B/C YouTube links here and X/Y/Z YouTube links here. Note that A/B/C sound so bad that you can barely even understand the words or make out the words, so much so that people can barely...
1: Should I tell Noam to tell future interviewers this? "Please look at A/B/C YouTube links here and X/Y/Z YouTube links here. Note that A/B/C sound so bad that you can barely even understand the words or make out the words, so much so that people can barely transcribe the interview and so much...
1: My idea is that Noam could tell them: "Please look at A/B/C YouTube links here and X/Y/Z YouTube links here. Note that A/B/C sound so bad that you can barely even understand the words or make out the words, so much so that people can barely transcribe the interview and so much so that...
Note: I assume that the reason the quality ranges is that sometimes the interviewers impose noise-reduction software that screws everything up horribly. That's just an assumption on my part, though.
Noam gets interviewed by various people. Let me clarify the situation.
1: Various people interview him.
2: Quality ranges. Sometimes just fine, as you can see in this thread. Sometimes awful.
3: I'm wondering what Noam can tell interviewers (if anything). Maybe tell them: "Please avoid...
@TalismanRich, I'm not sure how much the bad audio results from Chomsky's side or from something that the interviewers are doing.
Should I tell Chomsky to tell the interviewers that "noise-reduction software is likely the culprit and should be avoided"?
1: Why does anybody ever apply noise-reduction software when we can see from the many videos pasted into this thread that all that does is screw things up?
2: Should I tell Noam to tell everyone to avoid the noise-reduction software? Would that be a useful thing for Noam to tell people?
