    I'm not necessarily opposed to dipping the game audio when they talk, but don't dip it so low you can't even hear it anymore. It should be more subtle.

    • @Motabee
      @Motabee 2 ปีที่แล้ว +181

      Yeah just wrote a comment about this too. Really not good editing at all. I’ve not seen anyone else that does it like this. It
      sounds awful. There are very many ways to overlap the audio in such a way that you can hear both the voices and the game. I mean they’ve done it for years. Kinda weird

    • @Wrigglevision
      @Wrigglevision 2 ปีที่แล้ว +131

      Came to the comments to say precisely this. The way it fades to inaudible levels for a whole second before they say anything/everything is just obnoxious.

    • @Pixelhurricane
      @Pixelhurricane 2 ปีที่แล้ว +83

      agreed, it's especially annoying when a full second before and after a small chuckle is super quiet for no reason. really needs some tuning

    • @pcalo
      @pcalo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +80

      As a professional audio editor, this could be handled much better without much effort. If you set up compression on the game audio that listens to Dan and Arin's mics instead of the game audio itself, it can duck the audio whenever Dan and Arin are talking. I think the key to making this work is to have the attack and release time set to be super quick, and make sure the game audio doesn't dip too far when it happens. I always thought it was weird how they didn't raise important game audio in the editing process, so I'm glad they're trying something. But this execution was more annoying than welcome, and I'd rather them keep it low the whole time than hear this. It's very distracting.

      Yeah, I like the idea of it, but I feel like the background audio is too muted and that they probably should have kept it to when they go on tangents instead of just merely laughing along with the dialogue, etc.

    When I'm watching Grumps it's usually time that I'm doing something else as well. I'll watch here and there but listen to the whole thing. It's great for when I'm playing games, cleaning, or whatever for background noise with occasional visual stimuli. With the game audio edited as it is I won't even be watching this episode when I'm paying attention like I will some other more visually reliant episodes, I hope this gets changed soon.

    Idk if it's the editors making the audio go down before they speak or if its the AI they made during Danganronpa 2 but when the audio goes down before they say something it puts some sort of importance on what one of them is about to say only for them to say "Alright" or "Uhuh" and I think it makes it very awkward.

    There are ways around the drastic ducking in the game audio while still maintaining the fidelity of the recorded audio. Films will scoop the mids of their scores for example. Careful mixing paired with more subtle sidechained compression and ducking will make both easily audible and be less distracting hearing the game audio make room for Dan and Arin. Hope this helps a little.
