Fred Windish Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Good news! In an earlier post, I referred to those moments as 'orgasmic.' I'll stick with that, no matter you think about me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superOOk Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So it is just Fan Network's inability to mic a field correctly. Got it. The sound board operator is absolutely allowed to work remotely from the stands. That rule change was passed in 2010 or 2011. I sat next to Vanguard Cadets' mixer in the top row (so just in front of the box) at a show in 2012 and watched him running the board from his tablet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadtrombonesound Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Purely speculation: I was at the show in Chester (PA) and on the second synthesizer bend at the end of the show the speaker sounded like it had over-modulated (it sounded sort like synthesizer had been too loud for the speaker). Since that show they have kept the volume down until now. I wonder if since that show they were tentative to push the speaker too far or if damage had actually been done to one of the speakers, hence the quieter sound. I can't imagine they budget for new speakers each season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drangin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) So it is just Fan Network's inability to mic a field correctly. Got it. Aw, c'mon. Fan Network mixed Akron to sound awesome and then forgot how to after that? Fan Network doesn't mix anything, they take the feed they are given by DCI for the webcast. How thoroughly the field is covered is determined by much DCI wants to pay for any particular show to be covered well. Akron is a biggie because it kicks off the season in a big way. The balance is better on youtube videos taken from the stands because that's where the blend of the whole corps is meant to be heard, but you lose clarity and the crowd noise is as loud as the corps. DCI opts for clarity for FN VOD productions by mic'ing it closely (yes, the Denver codec sucked live but the audio was fixed for VOD). It's not always a perfect mix but it's pretty good value for $70 for 20 or so VOD shows. Edited July 19, 2014 by drangin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
