[kj] OT: Switchcam

My biggest problem with Youtube clips is trying to "normalise" the sound levels, otherwise I dread hearing a set of them (never mind burning them!) and having a (relatively) loud (VERY loud) clip blow my speakers or TV speakers if on a burned disc. 
I hope they address this issue.

 
Blessed are the Cracked for 
  they let in the Light,
    others all are just a..
      'nother brick in the Wall

A new music startup called "Switchcam" is algorithmically recreating concerts by stitching together fan footage. The footage is all synced up to the exact second so that you can switch camera angles and still be in the same moment in the concert.
 
www.switchcam.com
 
It’s in beta at the moment, so when you switch camera angles you get the new sound feed as well, ideally it’d allow you to choose which sound feed to use as well as video feed. E.g. some ppl might like to hear the fan noise from the area of recording, most people would probably like to have the best sound feed. 
 
Surprisingly, some of the fan footage is decent quality, certainly good enough that you’d want a copy to remember a gig you went to at least. Personally I haven’t figured out to use zoom on my phone, and I’m not going to be wasting my time recording at a gig. That’s what other ppl are for. Oh on that note, I saw some Comic-Store-Guy lookalike READING A STAR WARS BOOK seconds before Soundgarden were due to start the other day. One of those surreal gig moments – at the same time right behind me this girl was tearing up at the prospect of seeing SG for the first time in 15 years. 
 
Here’s an example (can’t find any Killing Joke gigs yet):
