Idiot, it's on ITV.
Another Xfactor completely ruined because of the high levels of
idiots
Watching and commenting on it.

the whole show leaves a lot to be desired.

Indeed, it's crap for morons who have no brain, how interesting that you
watch it Roger.
Time to switch over and watch something else. The show is fixed anyway.
Indeed, kill-file, meet Roger, Roger... Roger? Where's he gone?

Xfactor ruined AGAIN by bad sound mixing!
 

My tongue was in my cheek, but suffice to say, no matter what is said,
engineering standards for all things have gone downhill in the years since
the early 1970s, radio particularly. Does anyone even know what uncompressed
audio sounds like any more?

Well its just bland viewer stupefying crap so what do you expect the
decent sound engineers to do? Go down the pub of course, leaving the

You have a strange idea of the conditions in today's industry. ;-)

Broadcast systems don't generally have the dynamic range to transmit
uncompressed audio. And hardly any listeners would thank you for
attempting it. Compressing the dynamic range has been part and parcel of
sound mixing for broadcast since pretty well it started.
Originally this was done manually but by the '60s or so with the aid of
compressors. Which were under the control of the sound mixer.
If you are referring to the automatic devices which ruin many broadcasts
in the quest for the loudest possible sound, they're more than just
compressors.
