Radio Show & Podcast Feedback / Sound Quality/Siblance/mp3 encoding
« on: 05/06/2008 12:55:46 »
Hi, I love the show, but sometimes I find it unlistenable because of the amount of siblance on the voices. Short bursts of high pitched noise on certain words. Please tweak the settings on your multiband compressor or introduce a de-esser in post production. I am a sound engineer and have trained my ears to hear these kind of things, so I am probably more concious of it than most people. I would be glad to help if needed.
I also noticed the mp3 podcast could possibly be encoded with more suitable settings. The current mono 48kbps is fine for a talk show in my opinion but the file really should be normalised and resampled to 22khz before encoding. Also, LAME is considered the best mp3 encoder, so if your not using it already you should consider switching to it.
Best Regards,
Kev
