A friend of mine once performed on live television, and his band's own soundman wasn't allowed to do anything due to union rules. They had to wait for the union guy to arrive to plug in the amps, and he didn't get there until 30 seconds before show time, so no sound check. The audio is optimized for spoken dialogue, and sound for music is always substandard, I've noticed that on the major morning talking head shows like The Today Show and Good Morning America. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org]On Behalf Of pages@paxety.com Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 10:04 AM To: basia@smoe.org Subject: Re: Re: German Show: bit shocked Here's what I think happened. Anke was wearing a wireless mic (lapel mic) for her talk show host duties - it's concealed under her clothes. When she was singing, she used a hand mic. I suspect the audio engineer left both mics on, so that she was louder than Basia and Mark. For many reasons, TV studios are not the best places for musical performances. The audio for a TV chat show is not nearly as demanding as for a musical performance. Additionally, Basia records multiple levels of her voice and uses effects on them in the studio. That's not possible to duplicate live, so Basia live will always sound different than Basia on CD. Still, Ordinary Day has a part that seems to get above Basia's best vocal range. It sounds thin on the CD and sounded worse live. Go work on your head voice, girl. As for the nose rubbing, as the guest was being introduced, Anke ran over and spun a wheel. It stopped on "Eskimo-kuss." I suspect the rest of the choices on the wheel set out other ways she could great the guest - this time she used and Eskimo Kiss. un abrazo, juan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 20:09:19 +0100 From: "David Higginson" Subject: Re: German Show: bit shocked Bill, that would probably be at http://basia.techwood.org/ There are a lot of videos to stream on the site from various tv appearances Basia has made.
