The battery sounded great though. Might be a 'Flo v. Live" issue. I'm hearing the vocalists fine. They're only coming out of the right speaker though. I wish they had better quality mics for them though. Their vocalists are actually quite good. I’m only getting the lead vocalist at a given time even when they have backups posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care if vocals are live or pre-recorded, just as long as they sound good. For me, in an activity that is largely centered around perfecting the audio aspect of a show, there are few things more distracting to me than hearing a vocalist who (bless their heart) sounds like a mediocre entry in a school talent show.

KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Big yellow flags for a big Mello hit! That's a nice closing number although I suspect it'll end differently by Michigan City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This announcer. Is being very careful to. Announce everything on. The script. But does no in a way. That has odd pauses and. Not much enthusiasm. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassboy Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Nice job from Guardians. But I have the same concern with their show as I did with Crown last year--at some point, their whole show shifted focus (for me) to the vocalists, turning the entire music ensemble into nothing but background. I barely remember anything they played because I was paying more attention to the vocalists. I suppose it's debatable if that's a good thing or not, but for me it's not what I want in a drum corps show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is that if they can use all prerecorded vocalist because they can’t find singers, then they shouldn’t use them. Why not prerecorded brass soloist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not prerecorded brass soloist? We've had this debate over and over again on DCP. I still insist it's not a slippery slope. Not even close.

The festival market place to buy audio and video products sounded less fun than the farmer's market though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
