🔥🔥🔥HELLO HOST, ENJOY WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOUR PODCAST, BUT YOUR SOUND QUALITY COULD BE BETTER. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD MAKE SOUND A LITTLE LOUDER?
Thanks for saying that. We recorded this on the road from a hotel room with a Chicago-based freelance team, so the sound does not have the same crispness that we get when we record in our NYC home studio. We delayed releasing it because we were going back-and-forth with the editing team, but I’ll talk to them again on Monday to see if there’s anything that we can do to make further fixes to the audio. Otherwise, I just listened to it from my phone and the volume seems OK, so the issue might have different levels of severity on different devices. (I’m using an iPhone 14, and although the intro music is a bit discordant relative to the volume of the conversation, the conversation itself I can hear fine. And the intro music discordance only lasts for a few seconds.) In any event, thanks for flagging it, and I’ll be letting go of the editor. I’ll also talk to the team on Monday to see what else we can do.
Oh man, I’m sorry about that. I’ll talk to my team on Monday to see if we can pull the video down, fix the sound, and re-upload it. I’m not quite sure what else we can do. We had a heckuva process editing this one.
As a follow up to this… It sounds as though Michael’s sound is coming through his Lavalier mic, while my Lavalier mic was not picked up and my sound is coming through the room mic. We hired a freelance video team to record this, and according to the editor, they didn’t supply sound for my mic. This is not our usual video team when we’re at home, but it’s who we found for a stint on the road to shoot out of a hotel room. I’m afraid this is the best that we can do given the files that we have. We work with a different team when we are in our studio in NYC, but we were operating with new and untested providers as we shot this on-location in Chicago. Thanks for bearing with us as we work through our production processes. You’re seeing the messy process of a small business that’s learning, hiring and iterating in public.
I replied to this thread. And you replied to it. But it looks like since then, you a) deleted your reply to me, and b) deleted my comment such that only I can see it. What gives?
@@affordanything The comment I'm referring to started "Kitces's expertise is in financial planning." I know that you replied to it. From my own youtube account, I can see my first comment but not your reply. And if I'm not logged in, I don't see my comment either. Although I do see this thread. Ah the mysteries of youtube.

Paula, it’s hard to hear you.

I have done no such thing. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I can see everything perfectly.
