Noise Gate Philosophy, Digital Silence and The Abyss Look
The hosts discuss the technical philosophy of using fast-acting noise gates to create "digital silence" when neither host is speaking. Curry explains how he helped fellow podcaster Andrew Horowitz set up a similar system for the DH Unplugged show. Dvorak compares the "dead" audio sound to the "Abyss" visual style used by Charlie Rose, which utilizes black velvet to create a void-like background.
