As an audio guy, his voice never sounded right to me—like there was a hollow nature to it. Reminiscent of excessive EQ/filtering. We all know he modifies his voice, but I was curious so I loaded the full ~5 minute clip into RX and looked at the spectrum. I didn't expect to be this right:Jason claims in this clip that the government gave him a job offer after he won his 3 black badges from DEF CON.
Timecodes can be seen along the bottom of the screenshots. Notice how there are these huge holes in the mid-range, but only when it's maldy who is talking?
Natural sound simply doesn't work like this. He can't really claim this is some noise filtering setup, since you can see he lets the high-end hiss from his S and H sounds bleed through, leaving this big notch filter-like hole. If anything, his audio has the most high frequency (noise range) content out of anyone on the panel.
The hard cutoff around 15k you see is from lossy compression and isn't anything he did himself.
Edit: it's really quite comical when you zoom out
