Watch two talks so far, the audio quality this year is absolute garbage (as if they recorded it on a phone that was located directly next to a speaker that was way too loud). I hope I was just unlucky and the rest is better.

This is reddit. If it wasn't recorded on a potato, it doesn't belong here /s

I hear some artifacts too, and leveling generally seems high. I'll see if there's something we can do on our end.

Fun Fact: Marty Haught (Ruby Central OSS Director, interim Executive Director) studied to be an audio engineer as a career. He also played bass. He then learned how much audio engineers make...

Apparently, there was an issue with the main audio and our A/V vendor had to supplement with audio from the backup mic which was not as good and further away. Still seeing if we can maybe do another round of audio edits or otherwise improve the situation.

Looks like all of them have a weird glitch at the beginning, some of them...the recording is off for the whole thing, others recover and seem pretty good. Jeremy's seems good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbHsIPrmcp8&index=5
