dysfunc_survivor Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I have a number years of working with audio as a musician, and as an engineer. I'm noticing aliasing / fold-over distortion on all shows that has a caller. It sounds like mixing of samplerates with no pre-filtering. The shows that have no caller doesn't have this, so it seems related to skype. For me it's very audible when Stef say "s". I could help with that if there is interest.

luxfelix Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Pro tip: Since there is a chance that your message will be misunderstood without the prerequisite technical knowledge, I recommend making and posting an A/B demo on a brief clip to better demonstrate your offer in a jargon-free way.

Dumbing it down, huh? Since it's a technical matter, there is not many ways to put it in simpler terms. It's easy to google the definitions, I'm not wikipedia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dysfunc_survivor Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Example: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2JxzH0lGOc] You can't correct spectral content. Also, the amount of content Stef and co puts out, there is no time to do extra post-processing. Here are examples of clips with aliasing: No aliasing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luxfelix Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think you'll find that, by posting those examples, you will have better proved your point to those whom are unfamiliar with the jargon. It's perfectly fine to dumb it down. The next step would be to show how you can help -- since, as you stated, there is no time to do extra post-processing (maybe/maybe not?). Likewise, feel free to contact them directly with your solution (if you haven't done so already). I'm sure they -- and the audience at large -- will greatly appreciate any improvement.

Since I don't know their setup, there is not much more than speculation that I could do. It could have to do with the software they use. It could have to do with how the audio setup is done. Probably they use one computer for skype and one for recording. Like I said, I can't do much more than speculate without knowledge of the setup etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 He is very clear, audible and comprehensive when he talks, however if you are able to improve his singing voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysfunc_survivor Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 It seems they've solved the issue. Several call-in shows have been published lately without this problem. My ears thankest thee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
