Terrible Xfactor sound

Anyone else noticed the high volume and compression of the crowd noise.
It is drowning out the presenters and making the show unwatchabe. It
ruins it completely because someone can't use a simple audio mixer. We
don't need full compression to keep all audio inputs at 100%. It must be
how someone with a hearing aid hears the conversations in a room - all
the same volume and unable to distinguish different voices.

Turn your TV or amp to mono and all the problems will go away. Dolby
surround decoding or TVs with so called 3D sound don't work with this
type of show.

In my opinion the show is unwatchable whatever is done with the sound.

I can certainly guess why he watches it.

Waiting around for some poor unfortunate so that he can get his Tiscali
Idiot sick kicks by manically laughing at them. Or, gain imaginary
bragging points with his beer can 'mates' by claiming he can sing better
than most, if not all, of them.

However, I'd wager his actual singing has more of a shrieking helium
quality to it than anything remotely musical ...

For someone who knows so much about TV, broadcasting etc. you don't half
waste your time watching crap TV and then complaining about how... crap
it is.

The sound makes it unwatchable?

From the little of it I've seen, the 'talent' manages that perfectly well
without help.

There are a few people who aren't allowed *into* pubs.

So stop watching (and bitching about) it.

Well, this seems to be the norm these days. I think nobody ever bothers as
they assume its just tv wallpaper.
