Hi, I listened to Paul Frields 2008 fudcon talk fron an ogg I downloaded [1] from "Fedora TV" Miro channel [2]. The audio is really hard to listen because it is recorded far from the speaker (my conclusion) so I can hear Paul barely. To hear him well I need to turn on the volume really high but then my eardrums almost exploded when I heard first applause because that is much, much, much lauder!
To fix that is trivial and here is how I did it.
- I opened the ogg in audacity
- selected the whole track
- under Effect I choose "Leveller" and applied to on the "Hardest" setting.
- listened to the output
- again applied "Leveller" with hardest setting
- exported the audio.
Please listen and compare my version [3] with one on Miro site.
Brilliant.
JonRob: do we have a mechanism for swapping out videos when someone makes beneficial edits like this?
