barigirl78 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 In the future, people won't be asking who the brass instructor is, but who the sound person is. Somebody will be able to afford Diplo and it's all over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have shotgun mics strategically placed around the field to capture the hornline at just the right moments. My heart sank a bit when I realized that the Hit in the ballad and the immediate rush of volume during the hit was being done with assistance from the Mics that are on the stage, which they are aiming right into. The Intro also has a mic on the 40 - 30 yard line (side 2) that is live and pumping the hornline for most that intro... Along with high octave female vocal patch that is quite noticeable live.. I noticed that Crown was using some because of the Orlando show rainout standstill event. I noticed how the horn line didn't sound as Richmond. That's the right way to describe it in the opener with the high octave female voices as you call it missing. Sadly it's just a fact of life I guess.

Those horn lines worked hundreds of hours just to achieve that sound. If you gave Jim the sound equipment that Bloo has today, he would put a horn line out there that would make the rest of World Class quit playing at all. And before anyone says anything, I quit DCI almost a year ago.. yes. And I tuned in this week to see how many of my doomsday predictions came true. Sadly, all of them. Peace out... This week has been bad for other reasons; three of which made national news. DCI isn't one of them. Let's get some perspective..... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about tempo remotely broadcast to in-ear units on performers in the field? What would I think? "Boy, I really should clean out that sock drawer... I'm never going to wear those primary color striped abominations". Who cares? Really, what are the implications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
