Hello Everyone,
I've been a listener and subscriber for quite a few years. I like Escape Pod a lot. However, over the past month or so I've noticed a change in the sound of the narrators. I'm not sure if it's how they are being recorded or something in post-production, but in the past few episodes they sound muffled.
The intro music sounds normal, it's the voices that have changed. I'm not sure if the highs are being rolled-off, or the low-end lifted excessively. I've listened on several devices and with various headphones & speakers. Something has changed. Who or what has changed in the production process?
There's another thread where someone suggests the listener merely get better headphones. I spent 20 years working in recording studios and broadcast facilities, mostly installing and setting up technology. I assure you that I have and assortment of decent equipment.
Regards,
Michael
