Be sure to pick at least 720p for best sound quality.
On November 4, 2021, Noam Chomsky spoke to Christopher T. Collins’ students at New York University. His talk was on the Foundations of Syntax and Other Issues. After his talk, Noam took questions from the students.
The source video is a 720p MP4. The audio was littered with snaps, pops, loud booms, Noam rustling the paper notes for his talk, etc. Going over the sound, second by second, I removed or reduced every audio problem possible. I also leveled out the sound reducing loud moments, etc., to bring up the overall volume. Safe for headphone users.
This is quite a departure for the archive, the first video from after 2009. Done as a special request for Amour De Soi Pittie @amourdesoipittie2621 for suggesting this event.
