 Topic: Crappy sounding live dvd’s
Posted: November 11 2005 at 17:43 |
WHY!??! are the ones that mix these dvd's deaf or what?
I have seen several dvd's where the sound of the different instruments and vocals vary all the time and i find it EXTREMLY irritating...take forexample the spocks beard dvd Live In Holland....there the volume of the different instruments go up and down really dramatic all the time really awfull....Neal Morse signs normally and then perhaps forexample the bass comes in...then Neal Morse and the rest of the instruments are turned down really dramatically and then i have to adjust the volume dial again...and then they fade up again and i have to turn down the volume...it drives me nuts!!! 
I know that it is the dvd that is causing this it is not my speakers or something that cut....extremly annoying...do anyone know what the mixers was thinking when they did it?
Also it is pretty evident on Rock In Rio also...but on the cd they get it right

It is even more irritating, that on some dvd's the picture isn't in sync with the sound.

Yea i got one dvd where that happens too...but i would infact prefer that instead of the volume going up and down all the time...if the picture aint perfect it does not bother me that much...but when the sound is varying in volume all the time that is awfull

I know what you mean. When buying a music DVD I'm interested on the sound quality not so much the image. I've got one live in Astoria DVD from Tool which is a bootleg and the sound completely sucks but we 're talking about official releases here right?
I tought on Rock in Rio the mixing was really good . Haven't seen that for a while though.

I hadn't noticed anything like that on Rush In Rio, but I have a
Pendragon DVD where the sound and pictures are out of sync and I find
that really annoying.

I can understand if the DVD is from an old show, but otherwise there is no excuse for poor sound quality.

The Yessongs DVD has pretty bad sound and video quality, but overall it's a good DVD.

I have a home theater system,and I have experienced none of the problems you just described with the Spock's Beard-Don't Try This At Home,Live in Holland dvd.I think the sound quality of that dvd(compared to their other ones),is excellent.

^ Same here.
That dvd is excellent, but however it is by far not the best DVD Morse has done.

I have this on VHS - now that is poor quality... great film, though.
Rush In Rio has been mentioned - the one thing I find irritating about that is the crowd noise is too high in the mix & this detracts from what is otherwise a faultless DVD.

I know, Iknow. isn't it anoying. it's because when they record cd's and dvd's they get the sound and they mix it to a surtain voltage, the higher the voltage the louder and more bassier the music will sound. however i can't believe this would change up and down, the sound mixer must have been drunk or somthing!
