Some say you can't actually talk to him because he won't listen. And that he as a natural-sized tattoo of an ear on his ear. All we know is he is called the sound editor. ROFL
Clearly they didn't hire a sound engineer to edit this for upload to youtube.. They don't spend money on youtube, it's not worth it for the income it generates.
top gear deliberately uploads clips to youtube with shitty audio. the actual series sounds fine. they also cut huge chunks of the original clip and upload small portions.
The audio is built in 5.1 but when uploaded here it only does stereo so the voices, like the commentary, when mixed into the show afterwards are on the center channel and just a little bit left and right. So in stereo sometimes it's fine, while other times it's wrong because you're getting no center channel audio.
Both great-looking cars with plenty of power to spare. Much as I love the Ferrari, I would happily settle for the Aston as it seems to have everything one would want in a grand-tourer.
Having owned a gunmetal grey 05 Vanquish S which i still to this day regret sellingi love the front of the Vanquish but prefer the rear of the 575. And im sure the 575 drives better.
what's with the moronic loud music every time some actual information about a car is being said so that we can't hear the speech at all??? If anything, I'd appreciate more if that was the case at the moments of stupid jokes, "Tom Jones sounds" and bull talk about the gearbox and his incompetence to start drive Aston uphill...
Its cause its made to be 5.1 surround or something like that. When its encoded, it's meant to be broadcast in 5.1 surround, so you pumping it out of 2 speakers is taking what 5 speakers are supposed to push out (5 different levels of sound) through 2 speakers.
Memewhile most Astons are. 575 is awesome, but definitely not pretty. Every Aston from (and including) the db2/4 has looked incredible with the exception of a strange few (looking at you lagonda) think ‘77 vantage, db9, vanquish zagato, dbs superleggera...
If Jeremy and Richard were to rate the cars in the cool wall, the Vanquish would be in the Aston's fridge and the Ferrari will be in the Uncool section.
@lalogtr34 hes the presenter who quit in the first season and was replaced by james. jeremy and richard werent upset because they liked jeames a lot more anyway.
the audio is not screwed ... its in stereo. Get a good sound card with 5.1 definition and its pretty good. Sound Blaster 5.1 dig audio sells for about $120 USD for a decent one.
How did this even get past post production?! The audio is the WORST I've ever heard, not even amateur youtubers are this bad. Why is the music volume twice as loud as the voice over? Still haven't heard a word Clarkson saying over that racket
Well he owned a Bentley T2 that wouldn't fit in his garage. So he had to ride his folding bicycle to the king-sized garage he rented some ten miles away. Not sure if he had a scooter though.
Is it my computer?, or the newest videos have a different equalization, it seems to me that in some scenes the music is much louder and it doesnt let you hear what he says properly....
dude putting those machines one next to eachother on the road is just so fucking beautiful!!!! i like both of those, and this ferrari doesnt look like other ferrari classics....
yep - can get decent SB cards and other cheaper ones for 5.1 for laptops too - external through USB is a good option as they are cheaper and dont take up valuable space
It's probably been (re-?)mixed for surround and we've just got the FR + FL channels. I'm guessing the centre channel is absent. Awesome cars. I'd have taken the Aston. V12 soundtrack would not get old.
This is from series 1 of new Top Gear, in which Jason Dawe is the other presenter. James May took over in series 2. Also, please sort out the sound. Music too loud, speech too quiet. Thank you!
Some say he was born deaf.
Some say he poured hot oil in his ears for the tickles.
All we know he is called the Sound Editor of top gear!

Oh my, James May has changed a lot in the past 12 years
This is Damon Hill not James May!!!

That's damon hill😂😂

You cant be more deaf than top gear sound editor.

It's amazing

Actually, if he thought this mix was good and that you could easily hear the narration, he probably has spectacular hearing.
the sound editor is DEAF! this is more than annoying!
seriously uncool sound
music is bloody louder than vocal
Dear Top Gear,
Whoever worked on your audio, please sack them.
Signed,

Jeremy already punched him in the face.

Its edited by whoever uploaded this if you have dolby atmos it sorts it
Put in dynamic not movie even verbal help on movie mode does fuck all
I think James May was actually controlling the sound at this early episodes 😅🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
James looks different in this episode... Cant put my finger on it...
ikr
M8 read the description
It was a joke...
Sry for ruining it😳
he must be putting a bit of holiday weight on
When watching a video comparing two car, I much prefer hearing music than actually hearing the actual specs.
Said no one ever. Sound editor sucks.
The music is very very bad and very loud
I saw a 575 pulling out of a restaurant one day. It DID NOT sound like a fiesta.
As compared to a vanquish V12, it does.
+Will Bielema Maybe he´s talking about the sound from the inside, because from outside both are perfect
The sound editing makes the 575 sound like a Fiesta.
Oh God, that Aston is gorgeous...been my dream car for a long time.
The Aston is gorgeous. The Ferrari 575 is not. Could have purchased a 550 reasonably, but we all need to look at our Ferraris as well as drive them.
Dark blue is the most underrated colour on Ferraris. Just sublime.
Wow James May had really let himself go back in the day!
Yeah, he not slowing down. 🤔
I'll take the Aston over just about any car made today.
Same here
I'll take any. Even a 90s Camry.

So in stereo sometimes it's fine, while other times it's wrong because you're getting no center channel audio.
When this video came out I would have the Aston. 12 years later I understand why Ferraris are special. It still looks great
My favorite thing about this is that Damon is just there needing no introduction
muhahaha
"if you're abit of Michael Schumacher..!"
the face expression of d.hill was priceless xD
Both great-looking cars with plenty of power to spare. Much as I love the Ferrari, I would happily settle for the Aston as it seems to have everything one would want in a grand-tourer.
While I love James, I did like the knowledge this original cohost had when it came to prices and appreciation/depreciation.
I agree.. you can never hear the voices while the music is on, but when the camera is inside the car it's ok.
the sound editor should be forced to listen to beiber and westlife on full blast for 24hrs while tied to a chair
the moment when you`re sarcasm is so good .. people think you`re being serious
i can smell that guy through my computer.
?
i couldn't stop laughing when all that crazy racket started lololll
Having owned a gunmetal grey 05 Vanquish S which i still to this day regret sellingi love the front of the Vanquish but prefer the rear of the 575. And im sure the 575 drives better.
Give me ten of those ferrari's or 1 aston, i'll choose the Aston Martin
Martijn you are a fool twelve times over.
Nobody will give up ten ferraris. If someone comes along do lemme know
i love the noise of music when someone is talking >_<

I'd have the Aston too. Weird considering i'm a big Ferrari fan.
Absolute rubbish dubbing of the music track.

i still prefer the aston. i just love the way it looks and the sound, sooo much! i would rather be seen it the aston than the ferreri.
haha, uploaded in 2002, 3 years before RUclips existed.
"Hello?, Helloo?" i watched a Topgear Video with a completely spineless sound editor mixing the sound and now i'm deaf
James lost some weight
i dont believe thats james
daedae88 That's Damon Hill!
Dear Top Gear, why don't you hire a decent sound editor? I can't hear whatever they say when there's music - or any other sound.
+ryvoltz This was 6 years ago lol
Miika Ruokonen But there are older Top Gear videos with MUCH better sound quality and editing. I don't think it's about age... o.0
ryvoltz What channel do you watch them on? BBC? :O
Miika Ruokonen I watched them all here, on RUclips. That's why I find those bugs so strange.
ryvoltz Yeah but did you watch them on BBCs channel or top gears?
nice song review
what happened with the sound?
Personally rather have the Aston Martin
I like the Aston more
I think the sound editor lost his job after this
Why is the audio so broken?
well i didnt know we had switched to music videos that feature brilliant cars.
omg there's the super happy panda guy! :DD
If anyone's interested, the dealer talker at the end is a guy called Jason Dawe.
Classic top gear sound guy mix 👍
in 2016 after 12 years Aston Martin still looks relevant and desirable while Ferrari looks the opposite.
ஆல் இன் ஆல் அழகுராஜா *14 years
That’s because Aston Martins have looked the same since the early 90s
It's an old video, the awesomeness that is James May arrives the next season.
it stopped playing out of nowhere at 3:22
Sorry but you can't tell me a bloody Aston is prettier than a 575.
Memewhile most Astons are. 575 is awesome, but definitely not pretty. Every Aston from (and including) the db2/4 has looked incredible with the exception of a strange few (looking at you lagonda) think ‘77 vantage, db9, vanquish zagato, dbs superleggera...
I would still choose the aston
Two cars that faded quickly and were forgotten almost immediately because the products turned out after them were so good !
if James and Richard had a baby. lol
we want James... this calls for a riot. lol
If Jeremy and Richard were to rate the cars in the cool wall, the Vanquish would be in the Aston's fridge and the Ferrari will be in the Uncool section.
Great sound
I'll buy a Vanquish over a 575M anyday but in a race my money's on the Ferrari.
I sort of got used to the bad sound on the outher vid's but this one is in another league
What's with the sound mix?
@lalogtr34 hes the presenter who quit in the first season and was replaced by james. jeremy and richard werent upset because they liked jeames a lot more anyway.
Apparently in 2002, people didn't communicate much with words rather than in BLARING ROCK
What the HELL happened to the audio on this video? Like why is the background music so atrociously loud and overbearing 🤨⁉️
the audio is not screwed ... its in stereo. Get a good sound card with 5.1 definition and its pretty good. Sound Blaster 5.1 dig audio sells for about $120 USD for a decent one.
The ferrari is more like a superbike and the aston is more like a Harley or a triumph motorcycle.
i do miss these old school top gear
k ly It's a power test with a Ferrari 575 and it just so happens u posted the 575th comment

Avinash Mahabirsingh It didn’t. The original video sounds fine. It’s RUclips not handling surround sound that’s the problem.
Between these two cars, I'd rather have the Aston, even with the crappy flappy paddle gearbox.
Mean while Captain slow was riding his scooter some where in London :D
Well he owned a Bentley T2 that wouldn't fit in his garage. So he had to ride his folding bicycle to the king-sized garage he rented some ten miles away. Not sure if he had a scooter though.
More likely doing 240 in a Bugatti!😉
It's funny, because now you can't get a ferrari without paddle shifters and the Aston DB9 comes with a stick.
when will the BBC learn to read the comments and tune the commentary a bit higher? can hardly hear it behind the music
Is it my computer?, or the newest videos have a different equalization, it seems to me that in some scenes the music is much louder and it doesnt let you hear what he says properly....
i agree for the love of top gear fans axe the person the edits the video for youtube!
dude putting those machines one next to eachother on the road is just so fucking beautiful!!!!
i like both of those, and this ferrari doesnt look like other ferrari classics....
Love both. And I don't love many cars that aren't Japanese.
its not the sound editors fault, its youtube.
That's Jason Dawe. He was presenter in the first season in 2002. After the first season he was replaced by James May.
Do they have any barber shops in England?
this test is from this year?
yep - can get decent SB cards and other cheaper ones for 5.1 for laptops too - external through USB is a good option as they are cheaper and dont take up valuable space
"What if I dont?"
MagicAyrtonforever 7 years and your comment hasn’t got a like ‘til now.
You'll end up upside down in Australia and cheated out of the driver's championship
It's probably been (re-?)mixed for surround and we've just got the FR + FL channels.
I'm guessing the centre channel is absent.
Awesome cars. I'd have taken the Aston.
V12 soundtrack would not get old.
I watched Damon Hill's interview before this and he looks nothing like that here
What is it with the sound levels on so many top gear videos?
does any body know the song when stig is driving the aston and the Ferrari when he is doing the powerlap
the sound guy does it again... YAY
It's Randy from the Trailer Park Boys!!!
alot of times i thought i had an other youtube tab opened with horrible distracting music in it!
I was gonna comment abt the editor feeling really, well it’s hard not to pull the face but smug, and then I realised all 600 comments are abt that
This is from series 1 of new Top Gear, in which Jason Dawe is the other presenter. James May took over in series 2.
Also, please sort out the sound.
Music too loud, speech too quiet.
Thank you!
Top Gear please test the Saleen S7 twin turbo!! Please? oh and I agree the music is to loud.
This is the old Ferrari 575. The sound editor drives that
Aston Marin Vanquish😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 my favorite car😍😍
whats with the music n the audio??
Hey Damon Hill sounds like Christian Bale when he talks
The problem with that is, they completely forgot about piracy.
Good thing is you can get any Vanquish retrofitted with a manual gearbox for something like £13,000.
That ferrari looks so good
Aston should've given the Vanquish a proper manual right from the start
