Is there a way to even out the sound levels between spoken and played sections?

If I set my sound system, which is a home theater, so that the playing sounds pleasant, there is no way I can understand the spoken instructions.

I noticed in the earlier vidoes that you could not see the valves. Glad that you decided to show them for the latest.

I also agree that it is hard to hear you speaking unless I am hovering on the volume control.

Please keep up the good work. These are a great resource.

P.S. Watching the first valve slide is mesmerizing.

Is there a way to even out the sound levels between spoken and played sections?

Using the iPad that is currently being used to record these, it may or may not be possible to do so; however, regardless of equipment, it takes a lot less effort for you to turn your volume up and down as needed than it would for the creator of a video to record the audio/video, rip the audio from the video, fix the levels, and finally merge the edited audio with the original video.
