No. You can use a music player such as VLC Media Player to play music back tuned up or down slightly if you wish. But if people are affected by some frequencies and not others, that would be new.

I Am SOLO | S1E01 - Ep. 1 | 2021-07-14
I watched S1E01 using the AI-generated subs and they were surprisingly good! You just need to download both the sub file (.srt) and the raw video (.mkv) and watch it using a video player like VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/). Subs and raw files at the links below thanks to u/MNLYYZYEG

Although, I can't get the same process to work for another service that requires websockets. (https://github.com/calzoneman/sync/wiki/CyTube-3.0-Installation-Guide) I may create another post about that in the future.

We and our audience tune into a website built upon CyTube, open-source software for low-latency sync of music among multiple people. Other than that, it's just a lot of practice on timing macros, actions, gear set changes, items, movement, etc. with musical cues!
