Leman Gas Field: How Gas Platforms Are Decommissioned | Engineering Giants

[@larrydavis3645]

Why is the music louder than the dialog??

[@mfx1]

To bypass KZbins copyright detection because this video is basically stolen and is making advert money from someone else's work.

[@jamessaunders7699]

Every episode is like that

[@damo5998]

The audio is so bad accros all the vids i have watched, i will no longer watch any more. Music so much louder than dialogue :(

[@karina833]

A Spark video equals loud intrusive shit music that makes them tedious to watch. I would guess that all the down votes is because of the music. The commentary is bad enough, but the music makes it so much worse. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs a good firm kick in the groin, that way either a man or woman gets a very painful groin.

[@lerkzor]

SORRY I AM SHOUTING, BUT I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME OVER THAT EXCESSIVELY LOUD MUSIC.

[@YPO6]

Type louder, can't see anything.

[@leeholmes9962]

I ain't watched it yet big a 👍 to all yous oil rig workers for the hard work you do 👍🇬🇧👍

[@BryanEndres97]

Can't hear any of the narration over the music in ANY of your videos.

[@Jenalgo]

It's not the uploader's fault though is it, you dumb fucker. He's just a pirate. He didn't make it.

[@PhilippeLarcher]

@@Jenalgo I think music is added by the uploader to avoid YT filters

[@Jenalgo]

@@PhilippeLarcher I don't care. I don't support piracy.

[@nobodycares85]

Dear Spark, thankyou for providing interesting material. With so much effort put into production, please consider getting a better editor when it comes to your audio. As you can see by the comments on this video and others like it, the background music is far too loud compared with the voice over which is far too quiet.

[@sergeantcrow]

Thank you for all your content Spark.. On the one hand I am always glad to see recycling of materials and on the other.. I'm all for clean 'seas' and I see no problem with dropping any of these structures into the right areas on the sea bed where they will end up being covered with plant life and create interesting areas for harbouring fish etc.,

[@SparkyLabs]

Sorry I'm giving up, i can't listen to music and Tom! which child put this together? It's silly, didn't any one proof watch this before putting it out ?

[@henrywooton2814]

Simon

[@SparkyLabs]

Yes?!

[@williamstephens9945]

Another fantastic documentary but please, someone sort out the audio editing!

[@stephenrocks7004]

No need to hear, same old story!

[@djosearth3618]

Huge audio mixing issues here and unfortunecookie it's not easily just blamed on YT's compression. I even tried a 64 band EQ to pull out the speaking and i ended up having to basically remaster the whole audio stream to get iteven _nominal._ Main problem is mostly the great and very fitting music choices, but everything is fighting for the same human speech frequency range/s. This is easily addressed when you have the original speech tracks still separate because you can auto-lower *(compress)* the background audio easily based on the speech. Radio adverts use it heavily to keep speech clear but take advantage of maximum frequency amplitudes. 48:00 the casing and the 'pins' are still both on there. I thought they described it differently because according to this evidence they have left the casing at best level with the seafloor. even thought it may not have been described will this shows that only the inner pin was cut ~3 meters below seafloor. Also just before this timestamp they claimed that up to several hundred tonnes of sea life could be clinging to the structure but it looked pretty as Mike Meyers as Austin Powers as Dr Evil might say, *'shorn' ;]*

[@joer3739]

Kiss off

[@PBarrPrince]

Well, I LOVE the immensity of this operation. I could do without (nothing personal) the two guys making it a holiday and a chance to intrude on their subject-matter so much. I'd rather see even more intimate details of this operation. THAT is what interested me. I've seen many of their videos and I got tired of them pretty quickly. I'm only telling what I honestly felt. I stopped my video as soon as I saw them. Fix it guys!

[@justinmorgan2126]

That's a baby "my first platform" platform...

[@SparkyLabs]

Toms voice cannot be heard over the music.

[@cpcattin]

“Background” music overwhelms the narration. Discouraging.

[@MisteriosGloriosos922]

Thanks for letting we see

[@mariejules1130]

Hello everyone happy holidays 😊

[@markburden6912]

I worked on L 10 Alpha in the early eighties.

[@jordanrader9281]

did they fill the void underneath coz that should take another 40 years maybe less

[@mariejules1130]

Tones of gold 💛 ✨

[@scotexscarrier8461]

quite interesting docs,but very dissapointed yet again with the audio

[@lindalakota38]

I think that would of made great reaf at first i ddent respect artificial reefs but now i think its one of best things we do for species when u see videos of them dive the reefs its amazing i think they do better in shallow water

[@mariejules1130]

Looks like a thousands of diamonds 💎

[@TheSouthernMale]

Very bad job on sound mixing, music way too loud, thumbs down.

[@bwithrow011]

This video must originally be done in 5.1 of which these are the front left and right channels. The narration is on the center channel which is probably why it get drowned out at times

[@olimations]

The comments are hilarious, a complete mix of people who. 1. Think that spark produces, edits and broadcasts these videos. and 2. People who think they get to choose where the adverts are added

[@dennishadlock4145]

Why is there any music at all?

[@DeathDealA]

Real Lame how the music overpowers the audio, wth

[@cecilsandy9700]

Very.good

[@alison__16]

There's a documentary interrupting your incredibly LOUD soundtrack!

[@stephenrocks7004]

I agree with a clean sea idea, but the removal of this and other rigs pales in comparison to the billions of tons of ships lost in the world wars,1 and 2.

[@LSandLM]

Whoever did the audio mixing was tripping on acid.

[@dennishamilton3583]

Your Spark videos are really well done, but I have a problem with the music during allot of the video. The loud booming music is almost drowning out much of the narrations while watching the videos. The audio could be cut in half which would make the your videos much more enjoyable. Thank You for your great productions on You Tube. Denny in Ohio USA.

[@johnnybell5000]

Music is WAY to loud. Very hard to hear dialogs

[@chrishoeft4166]

Whoever wrote the musical score for this video got it confused with one on the Second Coming of Christ ... And then got their mixing volume knobs ass backwards. I kept expecting angels to beam down and pluck the rig off its legs and fly it to shore lmao

[@matthewslater6975]

29:10 this guy is wearing a Illawarra Steelers jumper shit he must be an Australian NRL supporter dont know how i got that but shit that team hasnt been in the comp for over twenty years good on you buddy

[@SelSun83]

9:50 I thought it was David Bowie speaking lol...

[@Kirovets7011]

Hello Spark. The music is far to LOUD!!! We can't hear the dialog!!!!!

[@lfranco1975]

It is sad that in this good videos, the narrator voice in comparison with the music is so low. Either you hear the narrator well and get a terrible headache or you don't hear him at all. And this is not exclusive to this video.

[@mattiafioravanti8475]

@driftrich do you happen to have the original version in here as well?

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Audio is poorly mixed.

[@GeorgeKM84]

There's more workers emotions than strip down.....

[@heathwellsNZ]

I disagree with Ron Colvin below. Yes, parts have music that seems overly loud compared to the narration etc but more pretty much most of it the audio is fine and the description of "unwatchable bull shit" is mystifying. This was a thoroughly interesting and engaging watch and I appreciate great content (free to me as a viewer to boot!) such as this. Big thumbs up from me!

[@AmineBenbouzid]

music so loud can't hear them !! bad sound mixing...

[@rodkneeellil3905]

Can't one invent a special clamp to install outside the pipe, near the bottom to redistribute the weight through large bolts & off the pipe section being cut, running the blade inside the bolt pattern? Or make it into an offshore community, moving retired platforms to near by & connecting, community security may be more easily managed, no? PS, the worst thing that could happen after the castellated cuts is what?

[@afrog2666]

I`ll just search for engineering giants and watch it somewhere else, this is just too bad..

[@killerorca1]

hey spark i have a copy of the original video. why was the music volume track turned up. you didnt make these videos so what gives you the right to trash them and dont give me that copyright crap. if your oh so worried about that then delete 2 minutes of the show. DONT MESS WITH THE AUDIO.

[@aseknie]

the background msic is so load i stopped 18mins in the documentary

[@HeimirTomm]

I hear they are sticking it out with their audio editor.

[@alpteknbaser7773]

👍

[@ianpotter2128]

WOW!!! 200 million to remove the platform for 250,000 in scrap steel? I think someone has their math wrong. There can't be a company that would spend that kind of money for such a big loss.

[@cumguzzler8537]

Its Kind Of A Steal Actually, The Logistics Are Really Hard To Manage And The Underwater Bits Especially

[@tally1604]

Downvoted for the ridiculously loud soundtrack that drowns out the narration.

[@JJJ78028]

I had to turn it off the music was overwhelming. I could not hear the speech for the loud music.

[@andreleibbrandt7532]

Such a great show (as you always have) but unbearable to listen to...music way too overpowering....one can hardly hear the narrator.

[@MegaBoilermaker]

It is a PLATFORM not a Rig.

[@cw7784]

She'll said it's a waste of money to remove

[@ch1pnd413]

No subtitles/closed captions? Really?

[@raymondj8768]

just hit the CC button and they will magicly appear !!!!

[@jj47078]

MUSIC FIX- search Amazon prime video (free) for: engineering giants Exact same video but proper audio/music. I’m done with spark videos and bad audio What is with the annoying overpowering music? Does spark realize people watch documentaries for information/voice and not music? i give up on watching spark videos any longer

[@afrog2666]

Are all the Spark videos this bad? And does all of them have TEN ads?

[@jamessaunders7699]

Yes every episode is like that and has a lot of sds

In this case I disagree. If we let these big companies dump their rubbish anywhere they like, next thing you know they'll be dumping things next door to you and me. There's nothing 'hippy' about it. They just don't want to pay for recycling them.

[@markgallagher0000]

Hearing all these shellys talking like they built it,if i know shellys,and i do...they will just say .. do that...to a true craftsman/tradesman,...he would then do it and give back any feedback needed,its rare to see a shelly with dirty overhauls...shellys do nothing,turn a few valves,maybe,they ,on the whole,treat the tradesmen and any non company men or woman really badly,you could nearly call them snobs,some where really bad...well,they did in the 80s /90s treated like a second class citizen ,take all the privileges ,better time off,better wages ,better accommodation,first to eat,it goes on and on and i beg to differ with any shelly ,this is not true.theirs always some descent guys,but on the whole,not good.

To the producers and editors--- Why do you have to put the overly loud Muzak on this video???? Are you receiving payola from the copyright holder?!?!?! Do you think it enhances the drama of your video??? Get Real and quit it!

music is fine, i dont get the comments.

[@uzaiyaro]

Are you for real? It's far too dramatic, and far too loud. It's literally louder than the narration.
