Title: Bishop Williamson seminary audios
Post by: nonpossumus on February 27, 2025, 02:13:05 PM
 In honour of Bishop Williamson's funeral yesterday, I dug up this old link to a collection of recordings of his scriptures classes from the late 90's in Winona. Enjoy! I hope the link works.

Great collection ... I was hoping to find something like this.

But ... how do you download these?

Yeah ... I can try to find some software that might be able to scrape these AND I will put them through a noise-cleanup program (there are good free ones out there).

I have a very low-tech life, so I haven't the foggiest what that means. If you can get it done, we would all be indebted to you. I just think more people should be able to hear these!

I'll try to get these and upload them here on CI and then clean up the "white noise" you hear on a lot of the audio.  I'd love for everyone to be able to benefit from these talks just as many of us did.

Post by: Ladislaus on February 27, 2025, 02:38:14 PM
I am able to get them by a certain artifice.  Problem is that they're all out of order, datewise, etc.

But I'll take on a task to get these, organize them properly and clea up the background noise -- in honor of His Excellency Bishop Williamson.

Audacity (free, open source)
Use: Low Pass Filter under Effects

I used to be in charge of the Audio dept at the seminary, and spent so much time in Adobe Audition. And then from 2003-2011 I spent a ton more time, creating Chant CD collections for my side business.

Lately, I've moved to Audacity, which does many of the same things.

Download this track as a sample, to see what it sounds like after the filter:

Yes, I was going to run these through Audacity.  There were 70 total files, each about 45 minutes, but there's a ton of white noise on them.  They're also in no particular order, so I'm renaming them to follow a chronological file system order so that they can easily be followed in order.  I'm not sure they're "complete", but 70 45-minutes talks is a treasure trove.

Yes they are a treasure.

If you want more control over what you do to the audio, in removing the white noise, you can use a "graphic equalizer" where you have control over each band. Usually the highest ranges you slide all the way down to 0 (totally squelch them) and as you get closer to "human speech" range, you be more careful, maybe attenuate it a bit, but only halfway, or 3/4 of the way, etc.
That's how I processed many of my chant recordings, to remove white noise hiss from the recording.

A helpful tip is to run the filter, listen to it, hit UNDO, listen to it again, then hit REDO, and listen to it again. That basically allows you to A/B test back and forth, to see how you did.

I use a paid for copy of NCH Wavepad, which is pretty good, not great. It has a several band customizable EQ to target specific frequencies and custom bandwidths, which can be a powerful tool. Be careful, because exporting as a compressed format can reintroduce noise.
Title: Re: Bishop Williamson seminary audios
Post by: Ladislaus on February 27, 2025, 08:19:11 PM
So I got all 70 files, renamed them so they sort properly in a folder on your file system (they were all over the map), and I removed the noise.  End result sounds great.  Here's the unprocessed version of his first lecture.  Unfortunately the processed file exceeds CathInfo forum limitations by just a bit, so I'll have to send it to Matthew directly.

Post by: Ladislaus on February 27, 2025, 08:43:39 PM
OK, so ... I couldn't even send it to Matthew by e-mail, so I converted it into a "video" and put it up on my Youtube.  Quality on these is great.

What I'd like to do is to get a bunch of great pictures of Bishop Williamson and then put a picture slide-show in as the video layer of these lectures.  So that's 1 down, with many dozens left to go.

Yeah, it's a thousand times better ... removes all the tape noise.  Now, it also makes it hard to hear the occasional student interjecting or asking a question, but that's OK.

It takes me back to the classes at the seminary, and this way other people can get a little taste of what it was like to have been taught by His Excellency.

These are great!  I know what I’ll be listening to on my next long drive.  
If I had any expertise whatsoever with technology, I’d love to help put these in order, clarify the sound, etc. 

I AM wondering if somehow, maybe using AI if they could be converted to printed, book form?  Are there still existing worksheets, diagrams, graphic organizers, chalkboard/white board notes, even exams, quizzes and so forth to go with them?  Anyone out there proficient at shorthand or a court stenographer who could write them down?  

Older SSPX priests could take refresher courses and the younger priests could do a comparison.

Thank you.  Yes, they're incredible, and when I started listening to them (with the massive distortion even), it was a huge nostalgic trip down memory lane and I realized that if I put them in order and clean up the audio (we have the technology now that we did not have in the 1990s), many thousands could experience what class with Bishop Williamson would be like.  It's a very specific topic, but you hear a LOT of Bishop Williamson when he goes off on even slight tangents into the various topics he's always emphasized.

So I can do the cleanup with software and I already put them in order, if anyone has expertise, what I'd like to do is to put together a really nice slide-show of pictures of Bishop Williamson.  Right now I just converted it to black screen, and the only reason I did that is because Youtube won't let you upload mp3 (and other audio-only) files, and the files are like 30MB each (not conducive to sharing).  But perhaps I could shrink the mp3 files (without losing too much quality) and/or put together some slide shows with pictures of Bishop Williamson (perhaps in chronological order) ... or if someone has the expertise to do that and a great collection of pictures, maybe they could help.

It's my pleasure.  This way others can benefit from a sense of what it would be like to have been in His Excellency's classes.  I figure at this pace it'll take me about 2-3 more weeks to get all 65 of them done.  I've already renamed them and put them in the right order (they were all over the place) and with inconsistent naming so they didn't sort right in Windows.

I put them on the Substack page for now and you can play it there, but I'm also going to look into providing a download link where you can just download a ZIP file with all the MP3s.  I think a single file with all 65 (35 MB on average files may not be permitted there, but not sure ... and I'll look into it.

I ran into the same issue; I believe Spotify uses DRM software to prevent downloads. In Windows, you can route your audio output to a microphone input in Audacity to record the audio stream. The only downside is that it has to be recorded in real time.

So, I decided to load the files onto my Google drive, so if you want the MP3s, you can download them here as a .zip file.  Caution that it's 899MB or so in size.

Now Google Drive will warn you that it can't scan for viruses because it's too large.  Evidently the file size limit for virus scanning is 100MB, so eventually I'll break these down into sets of about 3 lectures at a time (for the 100MB) so people aren't put off by the lack of virus scanning, and also because it might be better to download than the single large file.

Same.  Those recordings of his teaching class are priceless.  But the audio quality was terrible, where I could barely stand to listen.  But the clean up worked quite well, as we just had to wait for the technology to catch up.  There are a few spots here or there which get a little bit rough still, but they were spots that were completely un-decipherable, and perahps a second run through the de-noising algorthim will further clean them up.

Nonsense.  Evidently you can't make the distinction between having a great respect for someone and having disagreements with him on certain issues.  I disagree with Bishop Williamson on aspects of his ecclesiology, his soteriology, as well as his opinions regarding Garabandal, Valtorta, and the NOM conferring grace.  In fact, I disagree with the vast majority of SVs on the ecclesiology and soteriology also ... though few of them promote Garabandal and Valtorta.

WM Review also made the same distinction, where he too points out that he doesn't agree with +Williamson about everything, but still continue to have great respect for him, and the bulk of his teaching.

As far as "R&R", Bishop Williamson has stated that the SV conclusion is possible and not unreasonable, and Father Chazal's position is impeccable from the standpoint of Catholic principles.  In other words, +Williamson isn't deranged about SVism (neither was +Lefebvre) where, like you, he would get triggered and begin foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of it.

That's amazing! I have a huge collection of old tapes of Bp. W, from the Doctrinal Classes and various conferences delivered all over the world. I know someone who can convert these to MP3, I will have to see what I am able to do with those. Trying to find working tape players these days can be a challenge, but SO worthwhile!

Wow, that's fantastic.  I'd be happy to "cleanse" the noise off those also but I'd need a digital copy, such as MP3, and I think there are outfits out there that'll do it, though it'll come at some cost.  I bet there's tech you can get to do this also.  If you're interested and I can track it down, would you be willing to convert them?  I'd be happy to do it, but it may be risky sending the tapes to me by mail, but if you're comfortable, say, overnighting them to me (with some reliable) carrier, I could pay the cost ... if I can track down the tech to convert these.

What types of tapes are these, just regular cassette tapes or are they those mini-/micro- cassettes?

EDIT:  Just looked and you can get devices on Amazon for between $30-$50 to convert cassettes to MP3.

I sent you a direct message, but if these are normal-format cassette tapes, I found devices that will convert to MP3 for about $50 and would be happy to work with you on that.

Nonsense.  Evidently you can't make the distinction between having a great respect for someone and having disagreements with him on certain issues.  I disagree with Bishop Williamson on aspects of his ecclesiology, his soteriology, as well as his opinions regarding Garabandal, Valtorta, and the NOM conferring grace.  In fact, I disagree with the vast majority of SVs on the ecclesiology and soteriology also ... though few of them promote Garabandal and Valtorta.

WM Review also made the same distinction, where he too points out that he doesn't agree with +Williamson about everything, but still continue to have great respect for him, and the bulk of his teaching.

As far as "R&R", Bishop Williamson has stated that the SV conclusion is possible and not unreasonable, and Father Chazal's position is impeccable from the standpoint of Catholic principles.  In other words, +Williamson isn't deranged about SVism (neither was +Lefebvre) where, like you, he would get triggered and begin foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of it.

Well, I've stated too that the SV conclusion is possible, but still you have called me a heretic and schismatic on quite a few occasions. And I don't have a problem with anyone holding the SV position. I only have a problem when SV is pushed strongly, as if it's the only position that a true Catholic is required to have. 

Bp. Williamson did not hold your beliefs regarding the papacy. Perhaps you are going to start saying that Bp. Williamson was really a sedevacantist, just as you say that +ABL was really a sedevacantist.

Lectures 1-37 are now available ... https://vladsarto.substack.com/p/his-excellency-bishop-richard-williamson

There's also a link there to download a ZIP file with all 37 in MP3 format.
https://app.box.com/shared/static/zijqjc3kc0tsbwjx2px8p7ave85xvl9t.zip

Over the coming months, as I myself have a chance to listen, I'll try to provide brief synopses beneath each one, and possibly intersperse a few pictures among the embedded audios.

You're welcome.  Due to all the interest, I'll try to wrap everything up in this series by next weekend and I'll have the full file download to post here.  I might break it up also into smaller-chunk .zip files because about halfway through it's already 1.2 GB in size, which may not be very practical for some users who don't have high bandwidth.

No, I'm not interested in monetizing Subtack in any way.  I personally consider attempting to profit off something that would benefit souls to border upon simony ... though I have incurred some expense myself to get this done.

I'll never upgrade my Substack or any part of it to a "paid" subscription.

Even if it's technically licit, I'd prefer not to hear from Our Lord when I pass away that I have received my reward (making money off of it), but would much rather be an even tiny / meager participant in some benefit that may have accrued to souls.

I refuse to become a grifter in the Catholic faith.  I'd rather dig ditches for a living (though my current physical constitution could not bear it) while continuing to offer services of this nature for free.

I just couldn't find a good place to host these for a while.  I embedded them in Substack but then realized you couldn't download them from there.  Then I tried converting them to Youtube videos, which worked, except that they were pretty lame since they had no video component.  Perhaps some day I'll add some slideshows to the Youtube ones to make them more worthwhile.  Then I tried Google Drive, but it stunk, having file size limitations for upload (even with paid subscription), and then nagging everyone that the file may contain a virus, since the Google Drive virus scanning refuses to operate on even slightly large files.

So I finally bought a "Box" subscription (for like $14 per month) to host these with.  Oh, I had tried DropBox, but they did not give you very good "direct link" capabilities, where the links just took you to a clunky UI that many would find confusing.  So this Box route was what ended up working best.

So if you just grab the MP3s, once you extract them to a folder, within the folder, sort them by the filename in ascending order and the file-naming convention I adopted will also correspond with their chronological order.  There's also a MetaData field call # which appears to be visible by default in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11, but in the latter you can make it appear by customizing the columns at the top of the Explorer window, so you can see a #, currently from 1-37 to help with ordering them also.

Is there any audio of the rabbi or rabbis Bishop Williamson invited to talk to Catholic seminarians?


Quote
I like when Bishop Williamson occasionally goes off on the usual suspects, mainly in his Eleison Comments. He earned a lot of street cred when the crypto coaxed him into talking about the holohoaks. And he didn't back down and cry and apologize.

Still I do wonder why he invited a rabbi to speak to seminarians. We're all jdaized to some degree. Even holohoaks revisionists exhibit extraordinary naivete about the jws.

What's wrong with inviting a rabbi in to speak?  If we're fighting some enemy, it's good to know the mind of said enemy, no?  I see no problem with that.  If any seminarians are so weak-minded as to somehow be corrupted by anything a rabbi might say, then they probably don't belong there and were destined to be corrupted anyway.

I'm glad I've been able to teach you about Anne Barnhardt and countless other cryptos and Judaizers. But I guess you still have some learning to do.

When you were at seminary were you ever personal witness to an invited rabbi?

Now, the next step in fixing up these lectures is that I'm starting to convert them to stereo ... a bit more work than just automatically cleaning them up, and I'm also listening for where a bit more noise cleanup might be in order, since the first pass didn't catch them all.

You were not taught well. You were raised Catholic, went to a traditional seminary, and yet show a constant naivete about Judaizers and cryptos. You were not formed well. Part of this, I'd think, would have to do with Bishop Williamson himself having had a defective formation, which is why he saw nothing odd in inviting a rabbi to speak to seminarians. He was also a fan of Valtorta, and took that nut DawnMarie seriously. I like Bishop Williamson's good qualities, but he had some defects.

One does not need to speak with a iw directly to know what they're about. Actually it's worthless to speak to them directly, for they will conceal teachings of Judaism that they know will not be palatable to gentiles. In fact they're taught that it is a virtue to deceive gentiles. Historically Popes have warned Catholics to have no dealings with iws.

The fact that you are so constantly fooled by Judaizers and cryptos is a sign that you're not playing with a full Catholic deck. You don't even qualify as a decent pagan. Any decent pagan would immediately see through people like Barnhardt.

Jesus taught us to be as wise as serpents. You're gullible. Always have been, as long as I've been skimming your (usually) boring posts on this forum. If I took a dive into your archive I've little doubt I'd find a good number of other obvious Judaizers and cryptos who have fooled you.

Do you still think Nostradamus is legit?

I'll agree with you in disagreeing with his take on Valtorta, DawnMarie ... and I'll throw in Garabandal for good measure.  I just don't see any harm in getting to know the other side.  It's akin to reading, say, the Communist Manifesto.  If you're going to read that and become Communist ... then it's probably good that you got weeded out of the seminary now.

Which files were these? They are no longer available. I have Matthew's Gospel, and Paul's Epistles so far. I don't want to miss out.

Also, however you get the "originals" make sure to have a high quality version also. The 128kbps isn't bad, but can be quite lacking compared to 320kbps. One time I was doing some manual rerecording work from a device that I couldn't download files from at the time, and stupid me thought I was smart by recording them in the desired end quality of 128k, but it sounded horrible, especially after editing. I should have just recorded in wav. format.

Sorry.  Yes, I moved the link once I had the final/complete set of .mp3s.  I started posting them piecemeal, since that first one took a long time to complete, since the audio quality was so poor I had to run them through an AI noise reduction routine.  And then I noticed (only after I listed to them with headphones on) that the first 5-6 of them were not in stereo, so you could only hear it out of one ear (which I found to be a little annoying).  So the first set had a few different "editions".  Sorry for the confusion.  That shouldn't have been the case with the other 3, Gosepl According to St. Matthew, Epistles of St. Paul, and Gospel According to St. John.
