Thanks.  I'm not really sure why you even have to do this--can't Joel and his tech crew tell that there is a massive difference between the volume of the movie riffing and the movie volume?  The new MST3K episode itself wasn't even a live stream--it was a semi-finished product.

There are technical reasons and there are legal reasons.

Maybe they just don't know how to make the quiet parts and the loud parts of the movie behave in a riff-appropriate way. In the early MST3K days, all the source tapes were 2 channel and pretty flat already. The other thing is, how many jokes will break if the movie audio overruns them? Not a lot. One thing they *could* do is allow subtitles. Then the movie soundtrack being a bit quiet is not so bad.

The legal reasons might be that the owner requests that the production remain unchanged. In which case they can adjust the volume but not 'normalise' it.

Important detail : the accents in this movie make the whole thing pretty incomprehensible anyway. Things can only get better after this ep, says this backer.

As an aside 2 eps from season 11 blew my mind for incompetence. Starcrash and that Carnival one with the talking monkey. The frame rates were janky. I've since discovered that if you take out or merge every 3rd or 4th frame you can get around paying the movie owner.

My best guess - its ignorance/low budget. I've done audio work and video work and the one thing that's remained constant with the MST3K S11-13 episodes is that once they're done, they're never changed. Except by the OP, and thank you.

i find it to be an obviously laughable idea that after decades in a/v rooms these ppl don't know how to use a compressor or limiter; reigning in dynamic range is 101, that's some real basic day-one ish, if u employ a sound person that's some no-two-ways-about-it instantly-fired-for-incompetence stuff right there. the simplest explanation here is one which has been voiced on this forum multiple times: it's a cash-grab and they just don't care. they winged it, it was fly-by-night behind the board, because they know the only ppl watching are die-hards who will tune in to anything that has joel's name on it.

hey thanks for this, is there a kind soul that could upload this to mega or some similar place? I'm not that fond of torrents if not thats fine, I figure once the episodes are out they will be added here.

There was one here. https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-MST3K-S...day?page=5

But it's gone already. At least the one with the fixed sound. Hoping someone else will upload it again. I'm being careful since my ISP got a message about Halloween Kills....
