ISKCON Vrindavan’s YouTube channel has published an ecstatic Kirtan by Agnidev Prabhu at Krishna Balaram Mandir uploaded on February 26, 2015 with Kirtan Premi playing harmonium and Gopal playing mridanga. The video is in HD quality, exceptionally good quality if you compare it to other Kirtan videos on YouTube.
If only the audio was the same quality. Unfortunately, Agnideva’s karatalas are way too loud which becomes quite evident if you look at the amplitude in Audacity.
The intention of this posting is not to criticise Agnidev’s supremely beautiful and devotional Kirtan, but to inspire vrindavan.tv‘s video department to not only focus on high quality video, but also on high quality audio. They need another microphone attached to the audio input which will pic up the overall Kirtan audio, e.g. a hanging microphone on the ceiling or a microphone somewhere not so close to the karatalas 😉
