    Welcome to the binaural audio experience of standing in a GDC lecture theatre and wildly swivelling around 180 degrees

    I googled how to force mono audio in Windows 10 for the first time because of this video - please reupload this vid in mono, guys!
    " Click the “Ease of Access” icon in the Settings window.
    Click “Other options” in the sidebar. Scroll down to the bottom of the window you'll find “Mono audio” under Audio options. ...
    That's it! If you ever want to disable this option and re-enable standard stereo audio, just return here and set Mono audio to “Off”."

    Jesus, the audio is awful.

      Indeed, it's periodically shifting to the right speaker and back to stereo. Highly irritating.

    and this folks is why you always convert dialogue presentation audio to mono.

    To make this talk watchable for myself, I downloaded it via youtube-dl.
    Then I extracted the audio track while muxing it down to a mono audio source:
    ffmpeg -i The\ Shapes\ in\ Your\ Story\ -\ Narrative\ Mapping\ Frameworks-_Xrsn2HBs6w.mp4 -ac 1 monoaudio.wav
    And then I replaced the audio in the mp4 file:
    ffmpeg -i The\ Shapes\ in\ Your\ Story\ -\ Narrative\ Mapping\ Frameworks-_Xrsn2HBs6w.mp4 -i monoaudio.wav -c:v copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 The\ Shapes\ in\ Your\ Story\ -\ Narrative\ Mapping\ Frameworks-_Xrsn2HBs6w_fixed.mp4
    The playback is now a stereo playpack of the merged mono-track, which means both speakers get both tracks of the original audio at the same time - no more left to right movements.

      Easier to turn on mono audio in OS settings. On Windows just search "mono" and hit the toggle. Switch it back when finished.

    I watched this whole thing with only one healphone ear on, so when I got down to the comments I was worried CZcams had glitched and given me a different comment section

    Did he ever finish the software that automates branch shapes?

    He mentioned near the start a talk about writing where English is your second language. Anyone know what that may have been by any chance?

      A large portion of some of these classes / courses are made up of international students who relocate to North America for their education. (watch and listen at 5:45).

    I didn't notice the audio issues with earbuds, but now that I'm wearing my headset I think I'm about to throw-up.

    I'd really like to listen to this, but I can't without a pop filter. All I can hear is mouth noises.

      He's making this much more complicated than it needs to be.
