Just in case you haven't already figured out your audio.. I've been listening with headphones, and I think you lost the left side of your stereo input, just a few minutes before you lost audio completely.. Unless I'm mistaken, that suggests the plug on an external microphone started to fall out and only had 2/3 portions of it making contact.. Until it wiggled far enough that it wasn't making any contact? Idk, just thought I'd throw out my theory! Thank you for the enjoyable content!

@Fe7Ace 8 ай бұрын

@@jholliday212 Yes I think that's right. The common audio connectors with "steps" on the length of the connection, like 3.5 or 2.5 jacks, have the different channels on different steps. The left channel is usually on the very tip, so when it's not fully plugged in the left channel is lost first. A tip for anyone watching on a windows PC: Type "mono" into the search bar and it'll take you to an audio settings page where you can turn on mono audio, that makes all speakers work at times like this. I always turn it back off after though cause you loose the benefits of stereo.

This comment makes me wonder if my hearing is abnormal. I wear headphones and the left/right channel problem actually makes it physically unpleasant and I had to stop. So, either my hearing sensitivity is really out of whack, or for some reason people like to give suuuper sugar coated feedback. I like this channel but I couldn't watch this video and I'm hoping he gets it fixed soon.

@world_still_spins 8 ай бұрын

Maybe have a 2nd camera going when filming, set to ultra low video quality to optimize sd card, just as an audio backup. And/or a continuous record (with overwrite) digital audio recorder on a battery bank. Over on Fab Rats channel, they've had to pull audio from their security cameras a few times when their main filming rig lost sound. Voice overs and music are ok also. :-) .

@Chikvv 8 ай бұрын

@@chrisoakey9841 To me it looks like Matt using 2 wireless mics connected to one receiver and each of them writes audio only to one channel. Not an expert on audio equipment, but judging on the fact that Matt is audible only on right channel, and left channel becomes audible only when other guy starts talking or really loud things happening (like pony motor running) looks like audio equipment is running in the mode that allows connecting 2 transmitters to single receiver, but tradeoff is that you get only mono audio for each mic combined into single stereo track. Matt needs to extract each channel to separate track before using it.

I suggest that some research would show that the round platform just above the top shive is to carry a spool of cable, that feeds to the front wedge. The purpose is to periodically cut a lenth off the winch end of the cable, which moves the high wear sections of the cable, prolonging the total life of the cable. I enjoy watching you saving these old cable machines, there were a few around when I was young, did work with a few, mostly cranes and pull scrapers.
