Jason SnellI don't know why NASA TV lets those horrible hums at 1.33KHz and 2.66KHz out into the world, but I just filtered them out on my Mac using iZotope and Audio Hijack. đŹ

đ„«@jsnell I found the podcaster!
@Kevin The podcaster in me knows how to fix it; the listener who can hear those frequencies just knows that he hates those whines/hums
Don Whiteside@jsnell Out of curiosity, why not just use the Parametric EQ block in AH?
@donw because I'm more familiar with iZotope, but you're right
@jsnell No no, I try never to be right on the internet! Or at least I don't want to be the well aktually dude. Lacking any experience with izotope I just wondered if there was some particular advantage.
@donw though now that I see it, I can't enter in 1.33333 or 2.666666, I have to slide a slider that only will do 1.3 or 2.6, which seems not quite parametric
@jsnell Yeah the lack of a distinct notch filter option seems weird to me. That's still how Amazon prevents recording from triggering Alexa isn't it, absence on 9k or something? And surely there's other uses. Let's go, RA!
Tim Schmitz@jsnell In general I'm struck by the relatively low production value, especially compared to something like a SpaceX broadcast. NASA has such a great opportunity to capture people's attention and a few graphics and better commentary would go such a long way.
@Timschmitz Ah yes, you see, one of those is the private sector and the other is not. Maybe DOGE decided that was some waste they could cut đ
@jsnell Oh but they were so thorough and careful in their analysis! And also totally free of any conflicts of interest⊠đ«„
Marc Scheffel@jsnell Most people donât notice and those that do simply fix it.
@mscheffel Regular people should "simply fix it" by running two notch filters on a computer? This is why the broadcast engineers are there. To make their product better. Lots of TV broadcasts sweat the details. Is your argument seriously that nobody gives a shit? Maybe you don't, but I do and I think the people running the stream should too.
@jsnell I am sorry I came off that way. It was meant to be more jokey that someone that it really, really bothers is probably a professional that can sort it out trivially. Kind of a âAlex Lindsey sees screen door effect that a lay person barely notices so reprocesses all video with a self coded upscalerâ thing.
I canât listen to Spotify because it is offensive to me how it sounds. Also, they are evil.
@mscheffel I mean, hearing a high-pitched whine all the time is really unpleasant and not really an esoteric aesthetic thing. It's really annoying if you can hear it! But I appreciate that's not what you meant.
Manuel Riess@jsnell so weird! I have the stream on my phone always in the background somewhere while doing stuff in the house. Everyone who walks by and doesnât care about the thing itself is asking me âwhat the hell is that noise!?â My theory: they think this should give the impression of a âweâre in flightâ sound đ
Marcus Helvig@jsnell oh but the hums are great, they keep my tinnitus company⊠Sadly, Iâm mostly watching on Apple TV, so that wonât help, but a useful trick. Thank you.
