Recording CRT Computer Monitors 

Yep, that relic title. :)

There's a reason it hasn't been called that in a long time now!

Clint has refined his craft so much. Love it.

American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) I'm sure they have moved on from telegraphs.

Jokes on me, my smartphone is replacing your ASCII heart with a high resolution emoji bitmap heart. :D

​@@cube2fox We are limited by the technology of our time ε>

Yep this looks better than others, others having flickering CRT which is not great at all

@@Um_y8ki Flickering, yes. But even if they took care, a big black horizontal line running over the screen is pretty much normal.

Mac pro 1.1 is displaying a perfect ASCII :)

How much does it hurt? It mega hertz!

"of course with things like this there are always Moiré... ideas and solutions to discuss"

@@PaulTheFox1988 it hurtz 60

With a hatchet it killa hertz

@JuicyGamer help oof ouch owie this is not a joke anymore my ears are bleeding this is a concerning event please acquire me medical attention

Lol

Dennis Hårdén welcome to the future, baby

Is not a 480 x 320 screen.. what the are you talking about?

All you need is your old iPhone 3GS in the tripod lol

As a fellow sound designer who just now wanted to write the exact same comment (never had an issue, your approach is great) I just have to say: I absolutely agree :D

Same. I saw the parametric EQ and thought .. oooh, that's probably too wide to be used as a whine notch filter. But the audio always sounds fine in the end, and that's all that matters. I am impressed at how much trouble Clint goes to, to get good looking and sounding clips. You make it look easy, but you're really all up in the details, tweaking with finesse. 👍

HAHAHAHAHA “Clint”

@@DonnaChamberson Yeah, that's his name?

Just old, brother, not _getting_ ! 😅

I don't think I've ever heard a CRT whine. It could be due to the fact that I have a seemingly genetic form of tinnitus and the frequency may match that of the CRT.

Ethos711 I’m 24, and I can only just detect it is there. I know how you feel.

In my 30's, i still use a tube monitor (because there's no better quality for color coding) on one of my computers, i hear it. Wish i didn't.

He's like "i'm removing the audio filter now" ... yea, i still hear nothing lol

@@HappyBeezerStudios Cool, I was just thinking "What if someone made an actual game out if it?"

You and me both.

The b a c k r o o m s

@@mrmaniac3 Yes!

Maybe I should say that to my wife (substituting her for the maze)

I'd think the visual warping around my eyes make the lenses rather apparent ;) But yeah, polarizer certainly helps eliminate some of the glare!

I'm a lab tech in an opticians, have been for a few years now and I can't NOT look at people's glasses these days- what kind of prescription are you rocking? High astimatism?

@@LGR It's true. You can see them if you look closely. I'm just saying the polarizer gives the effect that you don't even have lenses at first. I worked at a lenscrafters a long time ago. Maybe that's why I noticed this detail.

And now I’ll notice that forever.

@@FuzzballRenakitty Very high, yes, skewed heavily in my right eye. As a result I pretty much only use my left!

Need them gains brah

Have to be Hercules to lift one over 30 inches by yourself haha

@@user-og6hl6lv7p lol its not the 50 pounds its the way you have to carry them...which can be downright awkward

@@kyles8524 Do you even lift?

i personally despise them for the high pitched sound

How many Adobe filters did he apply to himself. Does he have a natural Moire pattern? Is he adjusting black and white levels on his skin?

The sims hot date.

Nah, my bet is he runs his house a little cold to help the PCs against overheating. Am I wrong?

@@ashbelero My house was built in 1940 so it's rather drafty, especially being that I live in a windy area in the Appalachian mountains. 30mph wind+drafty house=COLD LGR

So normal LGR

GR doesnt have the same ring as LGR. It needs to be a three letter acronym.

Romess1 k

The l stands for legend.

Yeah I could never let myself do that, heh. I'd rather remember to use a notch filter and call it a day!

and WOOD

You’ve got good ears, I couldn’t hear any difference lol….or maybe its just my iPad…idk

I'll look into that, thanks!

@@LGR yes, spectral de-noice in iZotope pretty good. Also Waves have X and Z Noice. Also noice filters.

Viewing with a spectragraph helps, if that's an option. It's the colorful plot of time on the X axis and frequency on the Y. (Rather than a waveform view of amplitude on Y.) Whine would look like a straight (usually) brighter line across the top of the spectrum. You would see if there's anything there, and know by the intensity how much needs to be removed - or when you're done. I think it was Audition that used to have a tool where you could highlight and select a frequency region and apply edits (like amplitude) on just that selected region. Kinda surprised Premiere doesn't have that built in since they're both Adobe products.

@@nickwallette6201 This exactly! Clint, you can activate this spectral view by using shortcut shift+D in Audition. It's use is really dependent on the frequency resolution and amplitude range you choose. Frequency resolution can be changed with shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down, which you probably want to set pretty high, to see where the CRT noise is. Increasing it decreases the "brightness", which you can counter by increasing the amplitude range in Auditions settings under spectral view (you can also set the frequency res there, but it doesn't refresh the spectral view until you click OK, so the shortcut is the better way). Lastly you can scroll over the frequency scale to the right of the display to zoom in and maybe use a parametric EQ or notch filter to just filter out the frequency you need instead of a broad range with a graph eq. If you activate the preview you can see right away, if what you need is gone. Still your audio sounds perfectly fine to me and probably everyone else, so your usual editing is definitely more efficient :D (Sorry for strange/sloppy translations, I don't use the program in english, so I don't know the original terms it uses.)

Adobe Premiere Pro has a spectrum analyzer seperate from any audio effects and a spectrum analyzer in the Graphic Equalizer, so, if you know how to read the spectrum properly, you can get away with that perfectly well.

When it just shows the game footage, that is usually exactly what he is doing. He has talked about having a specific PC with a capture video card. But that doesn't work when he needs to show the CRT in the shot, or when he's recording from some other type of computer.

I still run that screensaver :)

Badum tssss xD

That is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

We are coming full circle

@@ZeiZei990 (insert X-files theme here)

And I want a CRT...

This whole thing started popping off like 3 months after I gave away my old BenQ V551 to a friend... Now I regret my decision hahaha

Wayne Avanson 7

I did that too, it was the only way to see a video outside since phones were rare and internet was really expansive anyway

Hah, instantly recognized it :)

Had that on my pc i used as a kid. used to spend ten minutes waiting for the screensaver to start to see what he would do.

I'm still running it. It doesn't play well with triple monitor setups sadly..

Haha, there maybe was a problem with the green wire of the RGB connector, since white - green = magenta.

i'm never thought this, thanks man

@@cube2fox I was gonna say the same thing but you beat me to it.

and the speakers!

Saaame I hope he uploads it soon!

@@KajsaBernhardina Ikr??? Few gamers review Sims 4 with honesty. Most of them are licking EA's ball....

The local television station had 8 tube monitors (and since we are in the 50Hz region here, they sound just a little bit different) in the director's room with 4 being the preview monitors being synced together so they refreshed all at the same time (it was basically the input's being synchronized that we watched as to stop screen tearing upon a cut to a different camera by avoiding cutting into a different refresh moment, but ok). That was absolutely horrible, but the chief technician and a camera operator present there never heard it :P.

What is a pm video?

@@__Mr.White__ Peter McKinnon

I wonder whether or not a polarizer like this would make LCD monitors display just a black screen.

They are so damn crisp that my brain refuses to accept that they're real. They have to be CGI'd in, somehow....

Right? I love this video for bringing that to the fore.

And G from Game to Gubbinz

It scans 16000 lines per second.

I don't think anyone actually liked Waterworld when it came out. What with the Mad-Max copy-paste plot and the bad writing.

My pleasure, I'm glad to hear it!

I now hear it even when my CRT is turned off. Definitely too much clubbing... ;)

Could also be that your speakers physically don't reach that pitch.

Compression compromises the highest frequencies first, it might be very obvious in the raw footage but once the output file was done it might have been compressed away (remember low-kilobits MP3's and how hihats and cymbals used to sound like they were underwater? That's the compression scheme working on the high frequencies and due to the low sampling bandwith not being able to read the sound fully and as a result, making some sort of estimate). As for high frequencies in the human ear: they are the first ones to go as well when it comes to hearing damage, unfortunately.

@@Dutch3DMaster I've been searching around and trying out different uncompressed audios, but the most obvious way you can realize you can't hear high frequencies is to listen to an old fashioned TV - it always made some high noise, nowadays it's just silence for me

@@DevirothS I got what you were trying to say, don't get me wrong, I was just merely trying to point out something that might not be obvious to everyone. You were literally hearing the coils that were bending the electronbeam to hit the right spot on the screen.
