Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
I just watched this and a lot of his other videos. Only wish he didn't compress his voice so much, it makes me tired listening to it very quickly. Actually turned off my bass to be able to stand it. Great videos otherwise though.

Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
Great video. Noticed he did one on Doom as well.

I think you might need to adjust your setup, his voice sounds perfect here.ALMighty wrote:I just watched this and a lot of his other videos.

Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
It's not that it sounds bad, just that it's compressed so much that it makes me tired listening to it. I probably wouldn't have thought about it if the video was shorter. Great video nonetheless.

Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
What does compression do exactly? Like, what cues are you picking up that he's applying any processing to his voice? Sorry, I'm a complete noob when it comes to audio production.ALMighty wrote:It's not that it sounds bad, just that it's compressed so much that it makes me tired listening to it.

Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
It dials down the volume above a certain volume threshold. So effectively, it makes loud sounds less loud. It's used to reduce the dynamic range of an audio track.
What is often done is reduce the dynamics and then crank up the volume of the track. This means that the peak volume isn't higher, but softer sounds are louder making the whole thing sound louder and, well, compressed

Oh, like loudness right?Eraser wrote:It dials down the volume above a certain volume threshold. So effectively, it makes loud sounds less loud. It's used to reduce the dynamic range of an audio track.
Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
Exactly that. I actually had edited my previous post to describe that. Note that every producer uses compression in music tracks though. You just need to be tasteful about it and not over do it
Re: RetroAhoy: Quake
Yes it certainly is. I had time to watch it through today completelyDon Carlos wrote:Awesome vid
