Audio perfect as is, I can enjoy the game sounds but they take a back seat to the commentary. The gentle sounds of Artosis commentating brood war is my version of ASMR.
Audio quality is fine on earbuds from the mobile app, music is loud enough, I hear your commentary clearly. Will post update from PC later. Upd: A bit more pops on PC and speakers but nothing too distracting.
I like the adio. The balance between music and game sound is basically perfect. Maybe commentary could be a little tiny bit closer to the volume of the game, but it's honestly fine already.
i think it is alright , seems good to me ... sadly been playing the same so much that just seeing units clicked or move or attack , my mind already plays the noise in my head :D so i don't tend to notice it to be fair , i mostly watch for your commentary and the gameplay itself, so as long as i can hear your voice properly and visualise the game , i don't mind it ... i think right NOW the balance is perfect (in this video and the previous one)
the audio is perfect, it felt that your voice is a little too high in the first two episodes or so but not i have no complains. I watch your videos on my big TV in the livingroom
I think the audio levels are generally good! Music might be a little loud, but I didn't notice that until you talked about it so might just be because you pointed out that you increased it :)
RT, look into putting a dynamics compressor on the main game audio track that is activated by your voice via a sidechain, that way the game audio volume will automatically fall when you speak and rise back up when you stop speaking. both your voice and the game audio can occupy the whole volume range, with your voice being favored over the game audio but only while you speak. it sounds complex but there's really nothing to it, cheers
This. The levels are pretty good, but a sidechain would mean the game sounds can rise up a bit when RT's not talking (and likewise duck out when he is).
Audio is pretty good. Music can definitely be louder, the unit sounds can be a bit louder too. Also, your mic seems to go into overdrive from time to time, so maybe decrease the gain a bit? Other than that, I'm just glad this channel is back and injecting the BW into my veins! CNSL is amazing and I'm really looking forward to all the games.
I'd say increase BGM by 2-3 dBs, in-game sound seems fine, maybe 1-2 dBs *at most* increase if you want things to be punchier. Your commentary is crisp and should be louder than the other items so, sounds good there. Hope that's helpful!
The main issue here is that after 5-10 seconds, if the audio is at least listenable, a viewer can't say about minor issues And easy to hear audio problems you can hear as well, I feel like.
Hey Artosis, I threw my set of headphones on that I use for mixing music and listened to the cast. From what I am hearing, your microphone sounds like its clipping a bit. Im not sure what youre using, but back the gain off if you can. Your voice- Its harsh. Some changes to your eq would help. Try cutting between 1-5khz. Better yet, boost that area, until it sounds really offensive, and then narrow the frequency down and apply a cut wherever the harshness lies. When testing your mic level, make sure you talk like you do at your loudest. And lastly, make sure you stay close to the mic when talking. The closer you stay to the mic, the more low end it will pick up which will help warm up your voice. If you have any questions regarding audio, please feel free to message me! Thanks for your hard work. I love your casts
Audio is eiokei... But please remove that robot voice from twitch that speaks all kinds of crazy things 🤪😜🤣... Anyway, keep up with the top content 'cause we're watching it all 👍
I would increase the audio level by 5% to 10%. There have been times I have to Max to hear everything. Some, myself included, would rather not have to Max out
A good thing to do might be to duck the game audio only when you are talking, I'm not sure if that's too much effort but it might be something that can be automated.
In practice this would become infuriating. Commentators talk all the time, so it would almost always be ducked, and whenever it changes it would be incredibly distracting.
Audio is a lot better now. Your voice is obviously the protagonist here but games lose a lot of impact when you can't hear fights properly, especially the sweet sweet sound of hydras agonizing under psystorms.
1:00 Arto we usually watch your videos for your excellent editor and since there is no much room for Editor to shine on non main channel games there is not much to comment on :/
No music, lower game noise slightly. I know you won't do it. BTW do you understand survival bias. The people who don't like the music don't watch your videos or if they do they don't do it much. At this point the only people responding to your questions are the people who like music. So you might as well just crank up the music and don't even bother watching a game. If you want to have 10k views a video you have to get rid of the music. You will lose some subs and views at first but eventually huge numbers of people will come and watch when they find out you got rid of the music. I understand there is a huge cult following of people who like SC music, my point is there are plenty of videos with music and plenty of just music. Show me a channel with an english commentary that doesn't have music.
I think both the sound effects and music could be turned up more. The commentary shouldn't be the loudest part of the video. The music, effects, and commentary should at least be equal in volume. Honestly, everyone who's saying the sound is perfect as is don't know what they're talking about.
You are in an extreme minority. That in conjunction with the thumbnail algorithm preferring human faces makes it an actively bad decision to use a less expressive style.
What a stupid game this was, the protoss just decided the game from the begin to the end cause early units for Terran suck against Protoss. Thank god I don't play this poorly design and balance game.
I kinda prefer it louder and hearing the music, but I know there are people who find the loud noises too distracting so it's not like this current level is unwatchable or anything.
Audio perfect as is, I can enjoy the game sounds but they take a back seat to the commentary.

Artosis trying his best to conceal the disgust

Audio was balanced well in my opinion. Loving the casts and great games!!
i think it is alright , seems good to me ... sadly been playing the same so much that just seeing units clicked or move or attack , my mind already plays the noise in my head :D so i don't tend to notice it
to be fair , i mostly watch for your commentary and the gameplay itself, so as long as i can hear your voice properly and visualise the game , i don't mind it ... i think right NOW the balance is perfect (in this video and the previous one)
Audio volume seems fine for me, music isnt loud, everything is good
Audio's fine, the casting even better. Thanks for the videos artosis, you big beautiful nerd.
The audio levels, balance is great in this video.
The audio balancing is competely fine in this video imo.
I think the audio is great, I can hear you and the game action fx sounds with no issues or complaints, Ty.
Sounds good... Only critique would be to increase the unit sound. Keep up the great work Arty!
the audio is perfect, it felt that your voice is a little too high in the first two episodes or so but not i have no complains. I watch your videos on my big TV in the livingroom
damn, you could feel him not wanting to give up.
I think the audio levels are generally good!
Music might be a little loud, but I didn't notice that until you talked about it so might just be because you pointed out that you increased it :)
My only cmomlpaint with the audio was music too low.
Honestly i d raise it another smidge, but not a lot. The rest is perfect, IMO
Audio is great. Good balance between commentary and in game. If possible, perhaps the music could be slightly quieter?
RT, look into putting a dynamics compressor on the main game audio track that is activated by your voice via a sidechain, that way the game audio volume will automatically fall when you speak and rise back up when you stop speaking. both your voice and the game audio can occupy the whole volume range, with your voice being favored over the game audio but only while you speak. it sounds complex but there's really nothing to it, cheers
This.

Great cast! I like the game sounds/music. It's not too loud at all. If anything, the game audio could still be slightly louder
I would like game sounds very slightly louder personally but this is fine.
I think the audio is perfect

It was over on 4 dragoons and no bunker.
Insane casts, love every single video
Thankyou for the cast
Maybe turn up the game sound slightly, otherwise the audio is great.
When Terran jam is playing it should be at full volume
Sound is fine 👍
Omg, the thumbnails!
I'd say increase BGM by 2-3 dBs, in-game sound seems fine, maybe 1-2 dBs *at most* increase if you want things to be punchier. Your commentary is crisp and should be louder than the other items so, sounds good there.
Hope that's helpful!
I think that game sounds could be louder. But i have a special hearing. lol
Shalom Artosis, I think the in-game sounds could be turned up ~5%. Just my preference though
Artosis sounds so sad while watching a protoss win a game
For me, audio is okay 👍
Audio is good on 🎧
CAN WE PLEASE GET MORE GAMES WITH END STAGES !!! more recalls， more spell-casting videos please PLEASE
Everything sounds fine to me you just keep up the good work =)
The main issue here is that after 5-10 seconds, if the audio is at least listenable, a viewer can't say about minor issues
And easy to hear audio problems you can hear as well, I feel like.

tried to watch sc2 for maru, but I came back here coz the tears won't stop.
I don't think I'd change the sound at all.
Sound is great
Wonder if artosis will ever notice that every good terran have at least 4 bases and he struggle with getting the third
It's fucking insane how easily protoss can just bully terran early game
you aree perfectt a r t o s i s t ! ! ! greatt
Audio is fine for me. sometimes you get a little mouse happy (like during battles) and click on things a lot but it’s not too distracting..
Audio is fine on all accounts for me.
Audio levels are fine RT.
Audio sounds good to me!
Audio is eiokei... But please remove that robot voice from twitch that speaks all kinds of crazy things 🤪😜🤣... Anyway, keep up with the top content 'cause we're watching it all 👍
I would increase the audio level by 5% to 10%.
There have been times I have to Max to hear everything. Some, myself included, would rather not have to Max out
Audio is ok - if anything would up the in-game sound effects a bit
Audio is great. My only feedback is the game thumbnails and titles seem to spoil who wins with the leading comment
would love to hear the music and the game audio be a bit louder
A good thing to do might be to duck the game audio only when you are talking, I'm not sure if that's too much effort but it might be something that can be automated.

nice

in game sounds up a little
I'd say even now music up ~3-6db.
Damn protoss
1:00 Arto we usually watch your videos for your excellent editor and since there is no much room for Editor to shine on non main channel games there is not much to comment on :/
Music could be louder. Sounds is fine.
5:11 "IcaruS is gaining a HUGE advantage right now" - LOL WTF?? No he isn't, he just lost his natural, you crazy RT!???
I think audio is ok.
✌️
gg
Audio was good in contrast with your voice.
Invade was belong to CJ Entus. not amateur player
It sounds good to me as a sc1 noob
I NEED THE MUSIC TO BE SO LOUD YOU HAVE TO SHOUT OVER IT FOR ME TO HEAR YOU.
My main complaint is that youre adding one video a day and i am a spoiled baby
More, and invite tastes for final
: )
tasateless's audio is too low
Music is a tad loud imo, but I think I'm in the minority. Very slightly down prefd for me
RECALL DIDNT MAKE
what is going on with the thumbnails
So protoss won with recall .dont need to watch the game then
No music, lower game noise slightly.

I'm not talking about artosis specifically but this trend of cringe thumbnails on yt, makes me not want to click on the video. Off putting tbh.
But his face is so expressive!!
Get over it, I think it's funny
