• Bland sound

    From Brian Gaff (Sofa)@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 12 08:29:58 2022
    By which I mean kind of audio that has few actual dynamics, and has a brick wall audio filter at quite a low frequency.
    I have recently watched some bbc things which have musical performances,
    even a few minutes of Eurovision semi finals on red button, but there does seem to be a policy of restricted audio. Watching sky arts some of their
    older concerts sound much better in both respects to me.
    This sort of thing seems to have been getting worse for some years even on radio popular song type live events. Is it due to the private companies deciding to just let some signal processor on it, or what?

    There are some TV clips and programmes that have to be pre-announced
    that they contain flashing lights.

    For audio, it is safer to turn a compressor on than run the risk of
    Ethel's third favourite cat losing bowel movement after being startled
    by a relatively minor bit of infra drum and bass.

    My favourite cat, Mrs Spook, was asleep on a beanbag in front of my
    right hand speaker. Sudden loud brass band music caused her to perform a vertical take off. Whilst in the air she lost control of her bowels.

    A friend of mine had a dog called Oscar, who was not allowed to watch
    David Attenborough or any other nature programmes since every time he
    saw a bear he had a huge dump there and then.

    When any animal appears my mutt runs up to the TV barking and wagging his
    tail! When said animal goes off screen mutt goes behind the TV to try and
    find it.

    I don't believe that for a second. You can get films these days with
    wonderful sound if you have the set up to use it, even butt kickers under
    the seats if you want.

    These days it would be put on Youtube and instagram etc.

    I see you can now get a drone that can launch from your palm and buz about
    the room for five mins videoing you.

    No. It was because she behaved like a spy, always hiding and peering
    out, scurrying from one hidey hole to the next, all that sort of thing.
