im an audio producer and engineer. "mains hum" is the ac current from your house not being entirely filtered out by the circuity in whatever hardware is being used. the reason you wont get this problem on more modern game captures is because often times the signals are handled digitally instead of by analog, resulting in no mains hum and lower noise floors. however, the same analysis technique you used for the mains hum should work for digital noise floors, since you'd expect the noise to remain continuous in either case.

This video inspired me to get into Speedrunning. I've spliced several top-10 records on many prominent games over the last few months. Emulator with noise removal, fake splits, Vegas used. OBS'd livestream to Twitch with alts typing pre-rendered questions at various cues to make it look like I'm answering questions in real time. Totally slipped past the Mods and verifiers. I'll leave the detective work up to you guys. Good luck.

You don't usually expect something this good from a KZreadr never before heard of. Well done for proving me wrong, this video is fantastic. Keep it up, man! Subbed.

Good vid. I don't think there are many who would be many in the position with the required mindset to pull this sort of thing off. Some sure, but not many. You'd need to: - be committed enough to become proficient at a run, learning all the strategies. - build some credibility for being legitimate. - be willing to risk the reputation for honesty or skill you have developed. - have enough understanding of the game to know what would indicate cheating to veterans. - have some idea of the amount of scrutiny your run would receive and by who. - care very little for the integrity of speedrunning. - not want the satisfaction of beating other runners legitimately. - not care that later strategy changes could still lose you the world record despite your work. Some games would also be far harder to cheat in than others. I speedrun GTA V for example. It would be hard to cheat in a significant way that wouldn't be either painfully obvious or extremely time consuming to hide over the 6 hour run. World records are of course always watched and looked at for strategy changes despite the run being so long, cheating for a non-significant leaderboard time would be far easier.

Regarding mains hum (from someone with radio and electronics experience). It's caused by poorly shielded AC and poorly shielded audio or radiofrequency lines. Basically all conductors are surrounded by a magnetic field, caused by moving electrons. This field will pulse at the frequency of your local mains, hence the term mains frequency (also called Utility Frequency, or Powerline Frequency by Americans, it sounds like you're British). Normally power cables are unshielded, so they emit this electromagnetic field around them. Many cheaper audio lines are unshielded as well, though higher end ones have shielding. An unshielded line carrying AC current (and only AC) will induce tiny amounts of voltage in nearby unshielded conductors via a method called Electromagnetic Inductance. Basically a moving and changing electric field will cause a sympathetic current in any nearby conductor. This is the same method used on purpose to make radios, wireless chargers, transformers, RFID tags and other devices that rely on induced voltage. If you have unshielded audio cables near an unshielded mains of some kind, you get hum. Also, some cheaper audio components are not well-shielded internally, and you can get "cross-talk" where one part of the circuit induces voltage into another. This is rare in applications that rectify the power down to low-volt DC (like, say, most home audio equipment) because DC current does not generate a magnetic field that changes, and thus cannot induce voltage. It is a power in high-current applications like large guitar amplifiers, and shielding and clever circuit design are required to avoid unwanted harmonics. HOWEVER some devices even take advantage of these small stray induced currents between parts. This is one reason for the famously "warm" (harmonic-heavy) sound of vacuum-tube audio amplifiers.

Hey Twin, long time no see

I've noticed over the past 10 years of speedrunning that there's been a dramatic shift toward single-segment RTAs over segmented runs, which used to be the bread and butter of the SDA of old. This is no doubt a result of the popularity of streaming and events like GDQs which are virtually all RTAs. I simply don't hear about WR segmented runs anymore and my impression is that people don't find them that impressive anymore for whatever reason. With respect to cheating, it's hard to figure out the prevalence of cheating in the community, which would be important to deciding what level of measure to take to respond to it. For example, for RTAs to be valid, you must also submit a handcam. Many streamers already have these set up so it's not too troublesome. On the far more draconian end of the spectrum, we might see a shift back toward segmented runs, in which splicing is no longer an issue. Naturally, all measures involve some level of pain and inconvenience, so it wouldn't be worth adopting these practices if the level of cheating was

@retro-meister

7 жыл бұрын

Yeah, segmented runs are certainly very cool and interesting. However, I think that nowadays quite a lot less emphasis is put on the actual entertainment value of runs and how well-played they are. A lot of the hype and interest is now generated by the competition factor, and you only really get this from the real-time runs.

In the theater we regularly encounter mains hum (called ground hum in the uk often). It's caused by another device pulling load on the same ring main (power circuit) as the device that has the speaker. (also unshielded cabling running near unshielded audio cabling). In the theater it was often lighting but at home i could imagine it being all sorts of different things. Shielded cabling and high quality power adapters often can negate a lot of this as it could be even be as simple as the tv you are playing on interfering with the speakers you have plugged in. Hope this helps, happy to explain more if you'd like.

@Iendyil

7 жыл бұрын

The only way i can think of you really eradicating this in a home setup would probably to be using speakers connected to a different ring main than the monitor and incredibly high quality audio cables connecting the data between the two. Many homes here in the UK only have one ring main however so unless you are going to buy a generator just to eradicate all semblance of hum i'd probably say it's unlikely :P

You'll find mains hum (aka power line hum) even in professional audio gear. From the best old vinyl to the newest digital, it's there. From the start of electronic recording a century ago engineers have fought hum as a bitter enemy. Even when it's below what humans can hear, digital signal processing can usually find some and bring it out. That kind of thing is usually done by police or lawyers trying to discredit audio or video submitted as evidence.

Also, it was discussed on the r/speedrun thread that maybe any analysis like mains hum could be thrown off by a non-lossless recording. Furthermore, if you only upload a live-streamed version of your run with commentary on top, it would of course be impossible to analyse mains hum.

I watched a Skyrim speedrun yesterday. The guy didn't have to have the ropes cut off that were binding his hands before he could pick up and equip objects. He could fast travel to locations he hadn't visited before. He stole a regular horse and rode up the sides of mountains, some cliffs at 80 degree angles. His stamina bar was huge at level one and it regenerated so fast he ran 90% of the time. It was just ridiculous. Then the comment section everyone was like "Wow it takes me so much longer to do this." Annoying. Thanks for making this video.

On the audio front, in theory you could also look for a 15 kHz sound-that's the line refresh rate used by standard and low-definition games, and it can bleed into the audio.

If you are going to edit your videos (cheating by splicing), it would be extremely easy to just bandstop filter the 50Hz out of all the footage and no-one would know. Im sure cheating happens more than we think, not just in speedrunning but gaming in general. Its just that the good ones don't get caught. Great vid!

I mentioned one possible motivation at the end of the video. Cheating can help generate hype around your runs and your stream. Some people will try and use this to grow their stream. Bragging rights/pride is also a big deal. People receive glory and praise from their runs as well as respect within the community. I'm sure this is enough to motivate some people. Another thing is that many speedrunners set goal times for themselves which are tedious and require a lot of grinding. At some point, a runner might become too fed up and frustrated with the game (to the point that it is not fun to play anymore). Rather than just quit without achieving their goal time, some runners would rather cheat in order to be satisfied.

Gears of War didn't' invent cover-based shooting, but it's often cited for it. It doesn't matter if you created it or not, it's about who popularized it. Ex. I never heard the term 'it is what it is' until Paula Abdul said it, and now I hear it all the time to this day.

Cool Video. I like how much effort you put into this!

Really professionally made, I like the format.

Speed running really is a Art. But the technological aspects of speed running, the way that electricty flows from the Eather up in the Atmosphere just to reverberate into digital signals in your wires - all that stuff really is only possible on a flat and motionless Earth. The rainbow is caused by the dome structure enclosing the flat earth, called the "firmament". The Bible goes into great detail about how it was created but we've also found fragments that has been broken off from the dome when nukes have been blasted into it during "operation fishbowl" launched under "operation dominic" after admiral Richard E. Byrd's expedition to Antarctica "operation deepfreeze" where he discovered the enclosure.

im a little peeved that BluntBunny took down the google doc, what the fuck was he so mad about lol

About the buzzing noise, my ps2 constantly doing that back then due to the composite cable being a bit wonky. Maybe that caused the buzz?

nice video man!! keep doing work like this!

Amie Mallich It's Cosmo in a permanent Halloween costume with mental deficiencies.

How do you detect a timescaled speedrun?

15:29 "But this time, without any memory card enabled" *Spyro winks*

hey, just wanna point out that the formerly cosmo is actually transgender, and is now known as Narcissa, i think. they're still speedrunning zelda though, lots of BotW!

erica Yeah, I'm aware. Honestly though, since she stopped all of her main speedrunning back in ~2015, I've barely kept up with her so to my mind it is still Cosmo. Thank you for watching and the comment :).

Reminder "gender is a social construct" meme started from an "experiment" conducted by a pedophile-apologetic "doctor" on two boys who later committed suicide due to said experiment. The later one literally blown his head with a shotgun. All I am trying to say is that Cosmo should follow the steps of David Reimer :^)

fuck off back to r/samandtolki, this is irrelevant to this video.

to eliminate hum, use ground lifters, try unplugging any light sources from that breaker/circuit, and avoid crossing live power cables.

Loved the video. Any chance of a part 2? I'd love to hear more about the subject, even if it's just more famous examples.

Great doc dude. Great research into an interesting topic. Keep it up!

GG my man! This is a great video and just a great initiative

Man, that's some good video, great job!

12:30 now that's what I call good humour

Idk how i got to this video but god damn bruh you made this pretty well Thats ma boi retro

what is the difference between segmented and spliced runs ? Is it not just a case of "false category" ?

@AsuraFantasia

7 жыл бұрын

spliced runs are used to cheat in non-segmented run categories

Wouldn't it be better to use emulator save states, recording the button inputs so you can play it back in one setting?

What's the music/soundtrack at the end please?

I hope your channel blows up, you make too good of quality videos to only have 9K subscribers.

great video man, well done. subscribing for curiosity.

Maybe its just me or i'm hearing the wrong thing, but I can kinda make out the mains hum when there is other sound present too

What's the difference between "splicing" and segmented?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedrun#Segmented_speedruns Segmented runs are done overtly and usually picked up at save points

Great video bro its really well made and just goes to show that if we could all spread this video we could potentially end cheating in speedrunning or at least tone it down

Good points my friend! Very informative!

Wow your first real video well made and getting good views keep it up buddy

You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar, I hope you decide to stream some stuff on twitch one day, followed you already. The info and presentation was amazing but that porn hug click away was simply godly!

My wii sports run had a buzzing sound when there was no sound but I did not tamper with the video. WHY!!!!????
