Ha, oh no, Don is on time. Well, we're three, four minutes late, but here we are. As my mom would say, or my grandma, it's just us chickens. So welcome to the Don Lemon Show. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. And pretty much on time today. On brand. We're on brand. Thank you so much for joining us. We have a very big show. And hit the like and the thumbs up. It affects the algorithm. More people become aware of our conversation and our channel. With that said, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. We have a story that we want to talk to you about that we're working on. I'm just going to just a little bit tell you. Y'all have seen that. And I shouldn't be talking about this. The bonnet story. Should you be wearing bonnets to class and do rags?
Woo! Sparked a little debate here on the show. So we'll be talking about that. I don't know if we'll talk about it today, but let me know what you think in the comments if you guys want to talk about it. But if you want to have a discussion. welcome to the show i want to talk about this new audio that is out there from um there's an audio person who has enhanced this audio and it has everyone is up in a store stir about it uh and so we want to see her name is janetta brantley and She isolated the video. She's explaining how she isolated it. And then we're going to bring in some folks to discuss it. Our very own correspondent, Daniel Grimes. And then we're going to bring in Charles Latabudia from TMZ to talk about it.
Okay. So here she is in her own words, explaining it. And then you're going to hear the audio.
OK, so before I play this, I want to quickly explain what I did, what you're looking at on the screen, and why I chose to approach this audio the way that I did. As a professional audio engineer with experience in dialogue editing, dialogue cleanup, sound design, and post-production, I decided to work on that CTO call using traditional audio processing techniques rather than relying on any AI voice separation or AI enhancement. My goal was pretty much to preserve as much of the original recording as possible while making the quieter dialogue and background audio easier to hear. So I basically use techniques such as subtractive EQ, compression, gain adjustments, noise frequency, I mean, noise reduction, frequency isolation, and other traditional processing methods.
So what I did was I separated Vicky, the sea toad dispatcher from Warren and the audio originating from the boat so that I can concentrate more closely on what was happening behind and around Warren, pretty much on the boat. And I specifically chose not to rely on AI because aggressive AI enhancements and voice isolation tools can sometimes introduce artifacts and distort the speech or create ambiguity around the sounds that were originally present. Um, and for something this serious, I wanted my processing to remain as conservative as possible. Um, you'll also notice time code and dialogue written on the side of the screen and pop up during each segment. That dialogue represents what I personally hear as an audio engineer while processing and repeatedly reviewing these sections.
I'm pretty much providing it as a listening reference, not as a declaration that my interpretation is the only possible interpretation. And that's important. I want you to listen for yourself, use headphones if you have them, listen closely and decide with your own ears what you believe is being said. You can also return to the original unprocessed recording and compare directly with what you're hearing here. You'll also notice that my time code may not match the regular timestamp on the original uploaded video. And that's because I'm working inside a professional post-production timeline, a digital audio workstation, basically using SMPTE time code, which in film that's displayed in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
Film and TV timelines are completely different from timestamps that you see when you're watching regular videos or when you're watching a movie and you hit pause. So basically the time code on the screen
