As previously posted, there is a serious audio problem with
Techloons Episode 55.
The sound is completely garbled and in spots almost unintelligible.

Original post is at the bottom.

Now, as predicted Goblin appears and of course blames it on Skype or
the ISP on either side.

And like "magic" within a few minutes, Roy Schestowitz appears with
a "Microsoft Skype Sucks" message, which can be viewed here:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/msg/14ea013024b328e2?hl=en

So, let's examine this a little and use some common sense:

1. No mention of this problem was made anywhere until *I* brought it
up by posting in COLA.

2. Goobler knows full well I listen to these things just looking for
amateur production so it's common sense that he would at least
mention the errors in the show notes etc.
Nothing, although I expect him to edit the documents and call
attention to it so be ready for that.

3. Both claim it's a Skype issue, but Goobler also adds ISP issue
into it.
Don't they know?

4. If indeed it was a Skype issue, how were they able to
hear/understand each other real time and WHY WAS NO MENTION OF IT
MADE IN THE EPISODE?

That's the killer....And that is where their lies get exposed.

Get ready for the attacks on *my* skills to begin.

BTW you can also listen at 33:00 or so to hear how bad this really
sounds.

"Do you amateurs even listen to your own droppings?

This tecbytes episode 55 takes the cake for abysmal audio quality.

Example: At 15:20 or so when Goblin starts whining, he sounds all
garbled and it's impossible to understand what he is saying.

The sound then recovers for a little while but it happens again
later in the episode.

Both the High Quality mp3 and OGG file suffer from this.

This is a perfect example of how poor the Linux operating system and
associated programs are for recording audio tracks.

Put these bargain basement Linux / FOSS programs in the hands of
amateurs like Goblin and his boss Roy Schestowitz and it really
turns to crap real fast!

Great job advocating Linux boys!
Keep up the good work and Protools has nothing to worry about!

You can listen here, jump to 00:15:20:00...(h:m:s:f:)About 15:50 in
Media Player.

Oh and should the slimy morons attempt to edit it, I have all the
files stored locally. "

If not, are you expecting to ride on the back of good faith of the

time for prosecutors to move in and arrest a few of the criminals funding
asstroturfers hiding behind dishonest corporations like appil and micoshaft

A few wikileaks to open up scrutiny of the funding routes and who's who in

Asstroturfer offerings
----------------------


I've just read the contents of the fbo.gov solicitation RTB220610

The US government wants asstroturfers and with it sophisticated
asstroturfing technology to drown out democratic free speech,
and then hide from those whom it seeks to victimize.

It was point no.3 that caught my eye:
0003- Static IP Address Management

What that means is the same as what I've been saying for a while about
doofi, flatcake and clog are true.

They are not individuals but a whole asstroturfing team
behind each sock puppet.

There isn't enough memory between the sock operators to know
or remember what had been said earlier so you know the
conversations are being typed out by multiple individuals
impersonating each other.
It was notable gaffs by the goofy doofy sock that first gave it away.

The asstrotufing teams had already gone into government and offered them
consulting services about what technology and asstroturfing
practices were out there for fbo.gov to decide what they will
purchase in solicitation RTB220610.

A poster who calls himself "The President of COLA"
in comp.os.linux.advocacy has been claiming that he has won
the European Inventor Of The Year award.

His real name is Joseph Michael and he goes by the moniker "7".

Here is a link to him making the claim:

http://tinyurl.com/3odhvwp


This claim is fully supported without challenge by the group's
Linux supporters including but not limited to:

Chris Ahlstrom
Gregory Shearman
Roy Schestowitz.
chrisv
Peter Kohlmann
Goblin
and several others.

I am suggesting that each person who reads this message contact the
EPO which is the organization that presents the award and ask them
about Mr. Joseph Michael's claims.

Here is their website.

http://www.epo.org/news-issues/european-inventor.html

http://www.epo.org/service-support/contact-us.html

Surely the President of comp.os.linux.advocacy should
have no problem with people verifying the claims he has
been making for years.

How about it Chrissy Ahlstrom, will you be the first to
step up and show that you aren't the spineless git you
seem to be?

Or how about you Goblin?
You try to portray yourself as a genteel person.
Let's see what kind of integrity you really have.

Well if people listen they can decide for themselves. I'm no sound
expert, but to me it sounds like issues either with the Skype service or
connection issues with the ISP.

You say the sound is the worse ever so why then is this ep any worse? we
are using exactly the same software, the only element of randomness
would be that introduced by ISP issues....

Stop dancing Goblin....
It's not about me.

At points you can barely be understood.
This is ot just your usual bad audio, this is horrible....

The poor audio was NOT related to Skype or your ISP because if it
was, you BOTH would have heard it when you were recording and you
would have mentioned it because unless you were sitting next to each
other, you wouldn't have understood each other.
It's that bad....

You didn't.....

You talked for an hour, made ZERO MENTION OF IT, which means Skype
or whatever VOIP you were using, was working fine.....

The poor audio is due to your inept post processing and POOR linux
tools used AFTER the conversations were already recorded.....

I suspect your encoding or some foolish addition of a cheap FOSS
post processor screwed things up and you never bothered to check it
after it was encoded.

You and your crap Linux tools screwed up.

No matter how you try and spin it, that's the way it is...
The more you lie, the deeper the hole you dig for yourself.

Your attempt at damage control with Roy posting that "Skype Sucks"
message is laughable...

I'll bet the PM were flying back and forth on that one :)

Are you reading this SNIT?

I hope so because these are the kind of people you will be dealing
with should you appear on their show.

I am not really interested in who said what and when... but I will say the
audio quality of the shows I have listened to could use even some post
production (and even just automated) cleanup. I am surprised you do not do
that - would make for a more professional sound (or at least less amateur).
I would think you would want your show to sound as good as you reasonably
could have it sound, given your (I assume) fairly low end equipment to show
off what can be done with Linux.

To be clear: no insult is meant by "fairly low end"... I consider my stock
iMac, where I do my screen casting and the like, to be in that category as
well. Higher end equipment (and training!) would be a benefit to me as
well.

Listen to this snippet and let me know what you think.
This is just a quick sample of what I am talking about.

If this sounded this bad live, they never could have gone on with
the show.
Oh yea, they had their usual popping and cutting in and out noises
due to Goblin slobbering popping the mic, but nothing like this.

They surely would have blamed Skype on the show.
They didn't.

No because as I said repeatedly it was either a Skype or an ISP issue.

As Ive said before Gary you liar, I love Skype. I think its a great
service, I have no intention of shifting from it or encouraging my
relatives to change.

Its you who suggest otherwise by trying to claim I would "blame" skype.
I won't as I don't know what caused the issue.

I use Skype alot and disagree with Roy's opinion of the service getting
worse after the buying by Microsoft. I can't prove what I believe and
neither can Roy. So whats your problem Flatfish/Gary? What possible
pleasure do you get for continuing on with this silliness?

I expect "rope a dope" will follow. Your usual tactic when backed into
a corner.

So how come the quality is so piss poor? God knows Flattie has given you
enough advice that even you should be able to sort it out. No wonder no
one listens. I suspect rather a lot are annoyed with your & Roy's claims
about MS being responsible for the Spanair disaster.

Not at my end. When we cut to music we stop recording and it was

With all due respect though, this is just another time wasting point
made by Gary. I know as far as you are concerned you are merely asking
a question but for Gary who spends time listening making comments on, it
rather makes a mockery of his claims.

My advice was (and is still) if he doesn't like it, don't listen. He
does though and continues on.

Look back over the posts for the difficulties in the last ep, and as I
said many weeks ago when exactly the same question was asked, I don't
encode it.

Now is your que to say "Goblin blames someone else" - Thats not
correct, if I wanted to make it better then I would try myself.

If you don't like that, don't listen. Why whine about it?

But the audio, I am guessing, is from his end?

BINGO.........

And if you read Roy's IRC, yes he mentions audio problems and he
also mentions "fixing them, filtering them, and how crisp it sounds
even after compression"...

What he is referring to is the usual beard noises etc.

He mentions this in the

There is NO WAY IN HELL he could POSSIBLY fix the mess that you hear
in this file and that is because it was NOT there live...Oh there
are noises, pops, clicks etc, but NOTHING like missing phrases,
garbled sound and so forth. He mentions audio noises, but they
easily understand each other.
Listen to the broadcast, can YOU understand everything?
I can't, even in my recording studio.

Again, not a single mention of this.

Even with all my professional tools I couldn't fix that short of
overdubbing the bad sections.

Point is, the sound was REALLY ruined during his post processing....

Again, not a mention of Skype problems or ISP problems during the
live show.
Rather odd don't you think?

This is beating a dead horse but like you say, they just don't care
about quality. They use crappy Linux programs and this is what they
end up with.

Gary, why are you banging on about this. First you imply I blame skype,
now you are back with the Flatfish "Sound Engineer" tact.

Ive answered the question many times, if you don't like it dont listen.
Ive also posted my Skype response on the shownotes just for you. I
suppose you will be useful for seeding the link:

No you don't do the encoding or the "filtering" (whatever Roy means
by that?) but it's a team effort so you both share in the ups and
the downs. And the downs have been plenty....
That's your boss, Roy Schestowitz's function. To encode that is and
that is where the problem lies.

I'll leave it alone now Goblin because you are moving on to your own
show and I do suspect you will do a much better job of it.

Why not have Snit on as your first guest?

I'll reset the counter, the past is the past, you're starting new so
I'll critique your production based solely on your show alone.

Hopefully you don't make Linux look and sound substandard.

Gary/Flatfish, so you go from claiming I blame Skype, get proved wrong
and then go back to your flatfish tactic of audio quality.

Ok.

Don't like it, dont listen. I certainly wont listen to a trickster or
deciever or liar like you.

You seem to have problems processing more than one thought at a
time....

"Well if people listen they can decide for themselves. I'm no sound

See how easy that is Goblin?
Your own words used against you......

And it has nothing to do with *my* engineering skills.
I've forgotten more on the topic in the past week than you have ever
known.

It must be pretty embarrassing for you to see kids on Youtube
posting excellent sounding works and you and a PHD, Linux "experts",
can't manage a decent sounding audio cast.

That's gotta suck for you...

Hint: Try using some decent tools instead of that bogus Open Source
crap you are trying to shoehorn into places where it obviously
doesn't belong.

On top of that you can listen to the advice you have been given for
improving the sound.

You won't though, because Like typical Linux user, you aim low.
It's the Linux way!
You've really succeeded this time Goblin.

I'm not the liar and I'm not going to play your snip and lie tactic
anymore.

Not to mention feeding your need to SPAM your site all over the
place.

Show notes?
Sure....Edited of course to fit your lies.

They are not necessary though.

Here you are blaming Skype/ISP, in your usual sugary fashion of
course because you are lukewarm and won't take a stand one way or
the other.

No show notes needed for anyone to look at.
Those are your own words.

ROPE-A-DOPED again.....

I'll go back to ignoring you again because I tire of your
supercilious, child like attitude and inability to tell the truth
and just admit you and your boss screwed up.

Had you done that, told the truth instead of this whole organized
posting party with you and Roy, Skype sucks etc there would have
been nothing to say.

But you didn't.
You lied, tried to cover it up and got caught once again.
Try acting like a man instead of a spineless gorm.

So back in the bin with you because I won't feed your self serving
SPAM machine by replying.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

The difficulties are all of your own making. Kids make better
shows. You're an idiot and too much of a big head to take the advice
offered you. Just like Roy in that respect.

Thats why the quality is so piss poor.

Seriously, while I find it odd that the two of you do not do any cleanup of

Wait: it is Roy's voice that is garbled... and it is Roy who does the
recording. Does he, maybe, use a different machine that taps into the same
conversation? Seems an odd solution - but it would explain the problem.

I will say they show little concern for the quality of the audio - and I

I don't think so.....
He directly says Skyp or ISP and I clearly reply Skype/ISP.

Doesn't matter if he claims it's Skype, ISP or both the point is the
really awful sound was AFTER the fact not DURING the recording.

That's the point.....
IOW Skype or ISP had nothing to do with it.

It's NOT Roy's voice that is garbled.
You seem to have NOT listened to the recording.

Roy's voice always sounds like it's under water, that's normal.

No I'm not Snit.

I don't think you listened to the recording, this is really obvious,
or are mixing up Roy and Goblin's voice because if you did you would
hear Goblin distorting terribly to the point one can't even
understand what he is saying.

And the fact they try and make excuses for their poor production and
tools outside the recording process, IOW the ISP/Skype etc rather
than the Linux tools.
