Weird audio from the GB West studio since last wednesday?

It feels like since last wednesday's emergency GB West stream (to cover for the canceled East playdate) something has drastically changed in the audio chain. To me it sounds like all the mics are clipping a bit, but some voices sound like they're being recorded from a mic that's in the room, but not near the person speaking.

The most recent example of this is the wolcen quicklook. In the beginning of the video (About a minute in) Ben sounds like he's talking and there's a mic in the room, but not attached to him. Rorie sounds like he would if I had a head cold.

I looked at some videos before then and found the audio sounded far more "normal". I asked about this in chat on Friday's UPF and other's agreed with me. Anyone else hearing this?

They were talking about the "Pearl" not working properly anymore, i'm guessing they've changed a lot of their set up to work around it and that's what's causing the issues, but that's a guess.
They're probably aware of the clipping mics, it'll be resolved in time.

Yep, this is a known issue. Been some troubles out in audio land. Luckily it's a known issue and hopefully it can be rustled up soon.

Took us a while to figure out what blew up, but we nailed it down. Things should start sounding more normal (if not better) in the future.

Thank you!!
