durian Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 so I have to say I am very proud to be a tiny part of the tech community, not commercial and very small scale by comparsion those tech boys did us proud tonight, stunning show. the audience LED panels, genius. I want 80,000 of those too. how do you put on a gig of that scale, make it sound amazing, look stunning, and not one single earth loop? hats off if you had any part of it, I stand up and salute your work :) sound editors, you did us proud.

durian Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 hats off to mr boyle too, press coverage typically gave all the wrong impressions of what was to come. significantly massive thankyou for putting on such a great peice of work if I had to rip a hole: audio from the the commentators had some feedback in the first hour but it settled, that makes sense. no DR is going to find everything when its live. I think mr boyle missed a few opportunities with the athlete walk in music. how many IEM went in to that little number? how many mixing desks and microphones. B-) some very weird sync problems for mcartney too. what was that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was an extra feed from somewhere in the mix, and then it was removed. making it look like he missed a section. I dunno. Hard to tell.

kerry davies Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 My thoughts exactly Kit, slight broadcast mixing glitch. But should we pick minor holes in what was an amazing show? The Brazilians are already having kittens about following that. The set worked magnificently right to the end with the flags and opening speeches. The lighting was outstanding and the use of the audience inspired. Underworld just blew me away with the soundtrack and Eclipse for the fireworks just put the tin hat on it. Kim Gavin doing the closing ceremony could be something really special to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojc123 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I was very impressed with the event. The level of organisation to get something like that to come off is astounding. Congratulations to all involved. It would be the mother of all get-outs too. We heard part of it on Radio 5 and it was almost unlistenable. It sounded like the music and the commentary was all coming through a single camcorder microphone. I switched it off after a few minutes because it was so difficult to listen to. Disappointing given that the TV sound was so very good. It was nice to see the NHS recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Watched the first hour or so of it last night, and catching up with the rest now. Utterly astonishing; I don't care what all the naysayers reckon, this is truly impressive stuff. Fair play to the drummers near the entrance of the stadium; there's some endurance athletes right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen123 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 how do you put on a gig of that scale, make it sound amazing, look stunning, and not one single earth loop? With a portion of £27 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Watching a youtube clip as I missed it live - the ones sourced from non-bbc sources had McCartney in sync throughout - no problems, so presumably something after the shares ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw1981 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 With an alleged audience peak (in the UK) of 27million, I have to say I think it was well worth my £1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerJonny Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I agree DJW. However I'd much rather have the (fag packet maths) £200 the whole thing cost us each... On the subject of audio, I just wished they'd provided a "commentary-free" stream online. I wanted to hear the ceremony at a decent level without Huw Stevens et al deafening me every time they thought of something to say... Weirdly, my girlfriend was much less bothered by the BBC commentary than my own "how the hell are they doing that?!" commentary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
