Jeff, you need to fix something with your microphone. Same thing happened during the Destiny vid. Random audio drops, etc.

Edited by Mister_V - February 27, 2013 at 10:44 AM

Hey... a Jar time...

Also you mic is still borked Jeff.

Posted by Ben_H - February 27, 2013 at 10:45 AM

Yeah sound is kinda screwed up but I am pumped anyway. I like these videos a lot.

Edited by kennyshat - February 27, 2013 at 10:45 AM

A Shure pop filter. Jeff isn't fucking around.

Also, I think you've got a really overactive gate or something on the audio. It's clicking and taking a split second to kick in every time there's even a little break in your speech.

EDIT: Never mind, it just seems to be bad cables. What, your big shot friends at CBS won't give you new mic cables or something?!

Posted by Majkiboy - February 27, 2013 at 10:47 AM

Thank you!

If you ever find yourself in need of another jar, Jeff, hit me up and I'll mail you my spare bedside jar.

It's like the audio is late picking up for the first half a second you start talking

Yeah, please do this!

Posted by The_Nubster - February 27, 2013 at 10:53 AM

The mic seems to be making the audio skip. Bummer. But the quality is way better!

Edited by ILikePopCans - February 27, 2013 at 10:56 AM

The audio man.

Edited by zenmastah - February 27, 2013 at 11:00 AM

Yeah, the audio is still clipping.

Bummer.

Posted by Fattony12000 - February 27, 2013 at 11:00 AM

@Jeff duder, cut out all of those shit audio drops, son. Are you trying to run some kind of compressor, gate or levelling software/hardware through this thing? Because it's cutting out entire words and sentences, ya goof!

Posted by LLJK_Jasta - February 27, 2013 at 11:02 AM

Aw yeah, jar time!

So the sound is messed up for everyone else right? It skips every so often just making it kinda listenable but awkward.

Audio skipping again? No excuse for that this time.

Edited by bybeach - February 27, 2013 at 11:17 AM

Seems just fiine to me. Jeff is not a person I bounce with always, but that is what makes his mini raps pretty interesting. I tend to listen to partials of these question answer video bits.

Posted by Winternet - February 27, 2013 at 11:17 AM

I go boom, boom, boom, you go bam, bam, bam?

Edited by jukezypoo - February 27, 2013 at 11:21 AM

Great video as usual Jeff! Probably worth checking that there's no compressors / limiters / gates being applied (either hardware or software based)? Just a noice cancelling feature with too high a threshold?

Audio's tough =/

Edited by Ravelle - February 27, 2013 at 11:21 AM

All the videos seem to not work great for me all the sudden, is anyone else having problems with it?

Posted by Wondeboy - February 27, 2013 at 11:24 AM

does the audio get any better, or is it intermittent throughout?

Posted by Patman99 - February 27, 2013 at 11:25 AM

If I had to take a guess, it sounds that the audio drops generally happen when Jeff speaks quietly (or at least quiet for the mic). You can see this when he moves his head away from the mic and still tries to talk. On some words, it gets through clearly, on others it doesn't. This could mean that the gain has to be turned up a little bit. When I encountered a similar problem (slightly more random audio drops) was when the fuse on the mixing board blew up. I had to change the fuse and it worked a little better. Anyway, I could be totally wrong, I'm no microphonist.
