dr.sound Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I thought that the Oscars sounded fantastic. Oh and by the way Ed Greene did mix them. Good sound, good show. Marti D. Humphrey C.A.S. aka dr.sound www.thedubstage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Didn't hear Elvis Costello's guitar--or voice--for shit on that segment. Also, heard Jim Carrey's confusion at the start of the Blake Edawrds tribute. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Agreed. This is a far less demanding show than the Grammy's, technically, but I'd still like to know why they suck and other award shows shine, sound wise. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 C'mon Neil, just take credit. It's easier that way. The sound was pretty damn good compared to several recent disasterous awards shows' sound fidelity. However, I'd still complain (am I allowed to complain? yes? good) that a couple of the broadcast mixes seemed very vocal heavy, but that's the nature of the beast. I heard the live mix was incredibly good from some folks who went. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was me. Although my wife thinks I was the couch potato who watched the entire show with her, it was actually a cardboard cutout.

Hendmik Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I noticed the sound jumped to mono several times, sometimes the crowd mics were too hot during the film sequences, as you could hear a lot of ambience in the signal, and a few times the dialog jumped to the left channel. All in all, though, much better than I could've done. They did an excellent job on the vocal sound during the song segments, no one spoke into a mic before it was un-muted, and no feedback problems. On the post production side, the edits of the film clips they had to make were seemless. They cut the word "shit" out of the Cold Mountain clip, and if I hadn't seen the film, I'd have never know of the cut (and there was even music in the background). Slick.

videoeditor1 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Were there any band acts or track acts there? Or was it dialogue, audience, film etc? NYC Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
