jwillis35 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 When you say audio interface, do you mean an amplifier Depends on the type of amplifier. But in general what I am referring to is a small USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt device that hooks into your computer or iPad. It allows for audio to be streamed into and out of your CPU. It performs AD/DA conversion and DA/AD conversion when sound is going from digital to analog and vice versa. It sounds complicated, but it's really not. You can get a decent audio interface for $150 to $250 (a good investment for drum corps fans, trust me), and those interfaces act like small mixers. Most of them have onboard effects, compression, gain, etc., and the outputs can then be hooked into your speaker system (which might be hooked to an amplifier). My audio interface actually has XLR output jacks (fully grounded) that hook directly into my studio monitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappybara Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 HOLY #### I didn't realize SCV's pit was making those bird noises in the opener live 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 If this show ends up in 5th - 6th..............will easily be my favorite of those placements of all time. SO beautiful, graceful, and beautifully minimal when everyone else is throwing everything and the kitchen sink in shows. That opening might be an all time favorite way to start a show, and they have added a ton of beautiful details throughout already. Bravo SCV, bravo. ...despite the really crappy audio. lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Vanguard: GREAT unis, GREAT mellos, GREAT sound. This show has it all! Just fantastic! +++ FYI my sound is very clear, and is loud enough to wake the entire neighborhood, but I do have a big electronics setup so it's easy for me to dial it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldveMarchedAgeOut Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I love SCV every year. But that might be my favorite since Scheherazade 2004 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 just like last year, i'd put money on SCV fixing the ensemble brass/phrasing issues by the time finals come around. it's already a visual/percussion feast. and it's going to be a real standout when it's clean. would love to see them compete for top 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That tuba line descends directly from 1987 SCV --- all I can hear in my head are those contras in RCM that year. Awesome line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
