VERY poor sound on Xfactor

Is anyone else watching Xfactor? Absolutely terrible sound quality yet
again this week.
I don't want canned screaming and shouting at the same level as people
talking or
overcompressed and distorted audio.
Whoever is in charge of the sound must be almost deaf, there is no way that
sort of
poor quality, overcompression, poor mixing and distortion would be aloowed
out on
anything else.

Oh back to the distortion again!

This is X-Factor you're talking about - they'd have to be either deaf
or masochistic...

When the singer is bad they bring in a choir or raise the sound from the
screaming and shouting audience. If you are having trouble hearing the
singers in all of their glory go figure why the poor sound engineer has
been given the instruction to disguise the vocal range of the
performers.

John Sergeant only quit the X-factor because his performances were
showing up the poor quality of the other contestants, and the judges
didn't like this.

Only when Diane is singing, and it isn't for technical reasons :-(

Strictly speaking that wasn't the X-factor.

What do you expect from modern broadcasting?, you can hear it can't

Ah yes, I never watch it, but I don't think any broadcaster is actually
doing any engineering of late. The BBC streaming audio on their local
stations is crap, and stereo crap in some cases like Ulster, Scotland and
Wales.

Its real crap so its muddled strangled audio as well, and in the case of
Guernsey, over compressed and toppy crap, which I've told them of and its
still the same.

I think the rot set in some years ago when automatic levels were obviously
in use on most concerts on all channels. Must save a lot of dosh on
engineers.

Yes, its not exactly the cultural high ground is it?

However, its no excuse for not doing a bit of simple setting up for overload
and limiting is it?

See you cannot tell the difference between dancing and singing.
Reminds me of the Goons, can you tell the difference between having your
head hammered on an anvil from Margarine?
No.
