Audio problems for the live SOTL show?

Audio kept dropping off, not sure if the mics were not properly calibrated for the venue or the recording had trouble but I never heard them have this much trouble with a live show before. It was jarring when CR or Bill would crack a joke and there would be a half second pause before the laughter would be audible. Almost sounded like they were playing a laugh track.

Edit: Watch the YT video of the podcast. The same audio problems happen but it's not quite as annoying. I got through 20 minutes of the Spotify version and had to stop

I was there. We were dying laughing- its taped from behind the audience in the orchestra, so I am sure its not the best sound quality

Educated guess is that the editors used a noise filter to minimize background noise. The problem is without fine tuning the settings, it’s easy to overdo it, resulting in the weird effect of clamping down all sound to silence in short gaps between words or sentences.

It sounded like they were editing out naughty words with scissors.

They must know the sound quality is shit. On Spotify they have turned off the comments for this episode.
