Message-ID: This week, Host, Theresa Marquez, speaks with pesticide expert Charles M. "Chuck" Benbrook. Chuck is an American agricultural economist and former research professor at the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University, a position to which he was appointed in 2012. At the CSANR, he directed the "Measure to Manage" program. Benbrook was also the scientific advisor for the Oregon-based nonprofit organization "Organic Center" from 2004 to June 2012.

Search for Heartland Stories or follow this link: http://audioport.org/index.php?op=series&series=Heartland+Stories Or on our Podcast page: https://heartlandstories.libsyn.com/ Brought to you by the people that produced Rootstock Radio, Heartland Radio is a weekly 29-minute radio show that is also available as a podcast, sponsored initially by the Heartland Study, a non profit research project dedicated to protecting the health of pregnant women and their babies. Each show engages listeners on the issues and challenges in food, farming and global health. While the team is in the Heartland, where much food is produced, our issues and interviews are with change makers, influentials and everyday people from all over the globe. We present solid information about what we all can do together to assure a healthy and just food system for the 21st century. -- Charlie Knower, Producer 608.620.8785 Cell charlie.knower at gmail.com From StationManager at kyrs.org Mon Dec 21 10:17:40 2020 From: StationManager at kyrs.org (Michael Moon Bear) Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2020 12:17:40 -0600 Subject: [grc] Audio levels on imported files In-Reply-To: <1aa4a86f-5459-e5e0-4164-4be0257b86c2@lns.com> References: <4b18627a-957b-c049-8ec4-f1d405890949@arlingtonmedia.org> <1aa4a86f-5459-e5e0-4164-4be0257b86c2@lns.com> Message-ID: <5461e043811846ed64b61e864e7ef0be@kyrs.org> Hi! We use Megaseg and are having a major problem with audio levels on downloaded files for programs that we don't produce locally (Democracy Now!, Alternative Radio, etc.). For example, this morning Democracy Now! was whisper quiet. We left the studio board alone as we wanted to see/hear what was happening with our own local audio for comparison. Democracy Now! ended and the following KYRS produced announcements were all normal volume levels, as they should be. When Alternative Radio came on, the volume plunged again to a whisper. We boosted the audio level on the board all the way to the top and it was just about to a normal level then. These files that we import are all produced independently, so the production should not be an issue. Imported audio files from different sources are all experiencing the same identical problem. And it does not seem to matter how the import is accomplished. Some of them are being imported automatically (like Alternative Radio) and some of them are being imported manually (like Democracy Now!). Yet the same problem presents itself in both cases. It is not the most recent Megaseg update as we have been noticing this prior to that. Our board is likely not the culprit as the audio level on our own produced files is normal and as expected. We also can't say that this is happening to all pre-recorded audio, as all of the audio that we have on Megaseg is pre-recorded. Again, all of the audio that we produce and add locally has no issues. This only effects our imported shows. So what is happening with these specific types of audio files? Anyone have similar issues or ideas for a solution? --- Keep The Beat Alive! - Michael KYRS Station Manager 509.624.7573 cell 509.747.3012 extension 5 office KYRS Thin Air Community Radio Medical Lake-Spokane 88.1 & 92.3FM KYRS.org Text a Donation: text GiveKYRS to 44321 I am a non-attorney spokesperson.

"YouTube-dl" seemed to be the best of 10 different options discussed in a Wikipedia article on "Comparison of YouTube downloaders". Four of those 10 are free and open-source software. Of those 4, only "youtube-dl" reportedly works with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. It has one substantive deficiency: It does NOT have a graphical user interface. It also requires that you have Python and FFMPEG installed. I invoked it successfully using "youtube-dl -k [url]" at a command prompt. If you'd like to try "youtube-dl" but have trouble understanding how to install and use it, please let me know: I will happily schedule a tutorial or a consulting session, depending on demand. The Wikipedia article on "youtube-dl" says it "is one of the most starred projects on GitHub, with over 72,000 stars. ... On October 23, 2020, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) issued a takedown notice to GitHub under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), requesting the removal of youtube-dl ... On November 16, 2020, GitHub publicly reinstated the repository, after the Electronic Frontier Foundation sent GitHub a document contesting the takedown notice". The choice that seemed second best to me of the 10 in the Wikipedia "Comparison of YouTube downloaders" is "ClipGrab". However, the Wikipedia article on "ClipGrab" says it's "loaded with crapware". I decided I did not want that.
