UnNews talk:Drug gangs attack Mexican car wash

The audio report was kind of funny but the intro is too long and the typewriter noises are so loud you can't hear the speaker well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Requiredloginname (talk • contribs)

Valid points. It is the way it is mostly because of inertia (also, see User:SPIKE/UnNews#Content). TeleTypes were softened 3 dB a few months ago; perhaps more is in order. I'll take a look. Spıke Ѧ 11:14 31-Oct-10

Thanks for the link, your reports are great... Perhaps just a fade in and out with the TeleType would be better? User:RQ/Requiredloginname

Have taken 3 measures out of the musical intro (but not for stories already in the can) and attenuated the TeleTypes another 5 dB. I'm not getting rid of them, as the noise in the background enables me to edit the speech and have the result sound perfect. Spıke Ѧ 12:19 31-Oct-10
