DrumManTx Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Can only do three questions, so. What was everyone's impression of the preview webcast? Keeping it simple. Audio/Visual/Overall. Discuss! Me: Audio - 5 This was my BIG worry, and boy they FIXED IT! Best audio I've heard from a marching webcast honestly. Thank God! I'll eat my words. Thankfully. Video - 3 Not as good as what we've gotten in the past, but better than I thought it would be. 720p is okay. Overall - 4 HUGE improvements over this fall. So they're working on it. I think I'll drop the 50$. I can listen to these videos all day long. Edited June 21, 2017 by DrumManTx 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Audio and video quality aren't the only factors. I prized the ability to join a stream midway and back up to parts I missed. Edited June 21, 2017 by barigirl78 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofmon88 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Audio: 5 That audio stream was pure bliss, really. Crisp, clean, with lots of depth and good balance between the sections. Could maybe stand a bit of a mid-range boost, but now we're getting REALLY picky. Video: 4 Yeah, 720p is a bit of a limitation these days, but the bits of 720p I saw were crisp vs previous years, which appeared to be downscaled from a higher resolution, and had visible artefacts. I wasn't able to view the stream in HD, but that is absolutely the circumstances I have to view the stream under. I may be able to improve my connection speed for later viewings. Overall: 4 The product is promising. If the video pipeline and multicam coverage can be improved somewhat, I think it would rate a 5. While pausing and rewinding would be nice, for me they aren't essential features. Edited June 21, 2017 by shofmon88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlemm Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm not a tech junkie, so my standards may be lower, but the audio was amazeballs and the video was more than acceptable. I was marveling at streaming live drum corps on my 55" tv with a nice sound bar. I am pumped for the upcoming season and have no problem spending the $50 for July, and we'll see about August (who am I kidding, of course I'm going to get it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is what my e-mail said. I typed in four different user names (Who is using Softball?) and none of them worked. My e-mail is "invalid". I said the helll with it and went back to the Red sox game. Subscription Confirmed It's official! You're on the list.

As for ioining in the middle of the stream, I was able to join in just fine and I didn't start watching until the blue stars were marching onto the field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappybara Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Whoever doesn't give a 5 on the audio quality is absolutely insane (unless you experienced issues which is the fault at your end). You don't get audio quality like this on a live stream ever. Blew me away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
