You have been quite factual in your previous posts. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured when they cleaned that up, they’d start leapfrogging corps in front of them. Timing is everything. Cavaliers were so dirty in Detroit that they didn't even get a score. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27Socal Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 DING DONG! For those who know the Tim Conway Jr. radio show in L.A., they know about a ding dong. It's when the lead changes multiple times near the end of a horse race and no one knows who is going to win. That's what we have here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't an argument... So therefore it can't be "wrong". Your distaste for it is certainly valid, but not on the grounds that the practice serves no purpose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, it is probably more of an issue on the streams than in-person problem, although I have heard a few shows live this year that had overpowering "goo" happening. Are you saying that none of the corps are doubling the tuba octave? It sure seems like I am hearing some synth patches that are "boosting" the tuba - or is it just overtones? I agree that it could be a topic unto itself. I can't say for certain that no corps are doubling parts with synths (they are allowed to, so far as I know). Lots of corps are using samples, loops and laying in recorded material. I am saying that the sound that most people refer to as 'goo' is as I described, for the purpose that I described based on the preexisting mixing practice that I described. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also bet on Bluecoats GE and Devils for visual. And those are additional reasons why the winning score will likely be held back from the record high. The only way to beat the record is to sweep the captions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been quite factual in your previous posts. Thank you It's also 'possible' that a smaller margin means more today than it used to. Meaning that what it takes to pass a 1 point margin is what it now takes to pass .3 in this era of high impact programming (14th place corps are doing things musically and visually that we would have seen from champions in the 90's). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard 2 horns in a solo feature in Atlanta. I'm having a hard time distinguishing who's playing what, with all the amplification going on. Some of the early corps without so much electronics, were nice to hear all the texture and subtleties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
