Xfactor ruined AGAIN by bad sound mixing!
 
When will the BBC ever learn that people do NOT want random cheering and
crowd noises at the same level as presenters and singers!

Another Xfactor completely ruined because of the high levels of canned
screaming. The people doing the sound mixing are complete idiots and it
shows that the whole production of the show leaves a lot to be desired.

Time to switch over and watch something else. The show is fixed anyway.

Another post completely ruined because the poster doesn't appear to know
what he's talking about. X Factor is broadcast by The Other Lot.

I like the fact that it's on air at the same time as Sickly Come
Prancing as I would rather stick needles in my eyes that watch either
one. Gives me a chance to do something completely different (as I am
right now).

I'm convinced that 'fashion' these days is to have loud, inane, canned
laughter and applause in many programmes (both TV and radio).

I find it particularly annoying when watching the re-runs of the 'golden
oldies', as many seem to have been 'enhanced' in order to ensure that we
really know when something is funny - which, in the opinion of the
'enhancers', appears to be just about every sentence. Such
'enhancements' often render what were originally good programmes
essentially unwatchable.

Has the X Factor moved to the BBC?

Sadly those doing 'the sound mixing' just do what the production wants.

Ah, the joys of being able to watch such rubbish on fast forward. We
spin along to hear what Stacey has to say this week, fall about
laughing and then move on, waste of air time on any channel - at least
the BBC don't bother with it......

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 limiter in
charge, or worse, a young 'trainee' straight out of uni.

Absolutely. Roger needs his head examined, but doubly so if he watches
X ****tor. Not that they would find anything anyway.

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.

Indeed, kill-file, meet Roger, Roger... Roger? Where's he gone?

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?

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.
