One of these days we will effectively figure out why serious organizations can't seem to do even basic audio leveling on prerecorded videos that they intend for public consumption. Seriously. It's 10 minutes of work, at the outsid

Is there a reason the standard response isn't "I write code for money. Are you giving me money yet?" "Don't give it away for free" is the rallying cry of photographers and graphic designers. Why is it not for p
