all the audio is pitch-shifted down 100%

I cannot for the life of me figure out what that’s supposed to mean.

Is this one of those things like “50% warmer than yesterday” that doesn’t immediately present as nonsense-math yet makes not a lick of sense?

it’s most likely from a frame rate that didn’t convert properly.

I could maybe interpret “pitch-shifted up 100%” to mean “frequency doubled” or “one octave higher,” but 100% lower doesn’t make a lick of sense.

100% lower pitch is nothing — no audio signal at all.

Shifting down 100 1200 cents would be one octave…

Edit: Nevermind. 100 cents only gets you to a semitone. Hard to imagine they went from “1200 cents” to “100 percent”.

So, maybe he just needs to turn his speakers on?

Wouldn’t that be 50% lower?

I suspect it means the plugin or app they used to detune the audio had a slider control that varied from -100 to 100. They then set the slider to -100 and claimed it was an encoding error. I curious at the resultant percentage of increased clicks.

I expected to hear the audio equivalent of zero degrees Kelvin.

Shouldn’t that be really fast, but backwards?

I halfway expected it to just be his regular voice with some joke about the cookie monster.
