Stupid software wasn't working right. The worst part is when your shitware modulator doesn't work right, you can't blame anybody other than yourself.

The signal is in ISB AM Stereo. If you switch it to SAS AM...you'll get the true experience! :)

Hey, it's all good. You give us phantastic shows on a frequent basis. Every so often, most people will have a day that just goes to hell. Thank you for all you do in trying to keep us audio-ed! We are lucky to have you. Your day will get better!

Thanks! I think it was just pipewire shitting its pants more than my own software. The whole modulator chain is a bit of LADSPA shit written in C, GStreamer and Perl. Drunken programmers gone wild.

It sounds better in QAM mode under SAM/SAL/SAU/SAS/QAM because it phases it just right.

That's REALLY interesting! Because the way I implement ISB Stereo...it should be also compatible with CQUAM. The upper and lower sidebands are inverted from each other in phase. It solves for the CQUAM equation through addition rather than subtraction. Personally, I only test for the SAS/ISB method of decoding. But basically the sideband sparkle is in Q/-Q space...the low end space is in I. It's a bit of an experiment in psycho acoustics!

Part of the first logo was cut off anyway, so I waited for the whole thing to finish before screencapping.
