I'm willing to bet having those mics right in front of the stands would have those speakers aiming right at them. I have no idea but that's my best guess...

As it is, most corps' speakers are now planted directly in front of the mics, so we typically get an over-balance of speakers as it is. I wonder if this is where they're used to placing them for BOA where many field instruments don't project as well. With the current placement, you get a lot of speaker and then a lot of whichever player is passing directly in front of the mic near the front sideline.

It seems like that might help, but believe me when I tell you that condenser mics do not operate on the same principles ears do. The problems are a] electronics are (supposedly) being balanced for the live crowd, not a broadcast, and b] corps are placing their speakers on top of the flank pickups in a way that makes it impossible to achieve any sort of balance with the acoustic sound coming off the field.

DrumManTx Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hope Jersey Surf can get a better prop covering than something that looks like a black trash bag. Don't really have any idea what the train stuff at the beginning is. Bass guitar is WAY overpowering, like louder than the whole hornline overpowering. On the positive side, Fun show musically they could do a lot with that I enjoy WAY more than their previous 3 or so offerings. Color guard had some great moments and there is potential for some very nice fill corps stuff. Just super dirty right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
