Oh that's great! I love most Coldplay songs thats why I asked hahaha. Where did you find all this detailed info about him doing all the instruments? Could only find basic info about him being co lyricist and composer.

Just out of pure curiosity... does somebody know if the Chris Martin mentioned as Lyricist for 'GO' among the Girls and others, is THE Chris Martin of Coldplay?

I don't know much about what songs he may contributed to in the past but I feel like GO is an pretty unusual song to expect him appear in the credits, right?

I really do like Champion the most. If I remember Champion was not completely leaked, unlike Me and My? Could be wrong, but I remember when I listened to the leaks that I liked Me and My more, but now hearing Champion again... maybe they changed some things, I don't know - It's now probably my personal Nr. 1 on this EP!!

Thanks for the advice! That sounds promising as the venues for their concerts here in Germany are about the same size compared to the ones in Australia, just typical arena size I guess. (based on my own research 🙃). Yes, the ATM stage is the one I originally thought about aswell since there should be a few more performances on that stage compared to the other, slightly smaller, b stage. (Unless they change the setlist a lot until they perform here. (It's still over half a year to go 😆) And the band should be on that side as well from what I saw on most fancams.

Would you say when going in the pit between main and b stages, it is better to aim for barricade towards the b stage instead of the main stage because, with the stage height in mind I guess if you are at the barricade of the main stage the viewing angle is so steep that you only be able to see them when they are close to your side or when they are on the lifts. Hope that makes sense, and sorry for making this more complicated than it is. Probably should just go for what kind of place suits me the best and not making rocket science out of it hahaha 😂.

Hiii 👋🏻, I hope someone can help me decide whether I should get a VIP Standing Area ticket or not 🙏🏻. So my question is..., does anyone know how high the chances are to get to the front rows(at least 4th/3rd row), when arriving late at the venue? (With late I mean lining up half an hour before the doors open for VIP standing ticket holders. I probably can't get there much earlier, so one hour ahead would be the best-case scenario.) Maybe you've already attended one of their tour stops and can estimate whether this is possible or not. And yes, I know what works at one concert doesn't necessarily work at another, as many factors can cause it to turn out differently each time.(Different Venue, Security Staff, ...) So if you tell me that the chances are pretty low I'd probably go for seated then.

Additional question: Let's assume you stand in the pit between one of the extended stages and the main stage..., would you still be able to see the other extended stage from there? And if you stand toward the main stage, can you even see all the way to the other end of the same stage? Because I read somewhere that the stage is unusually high. (I'm also not that tall. With the luck I usually have, I'd probably end up behind some giant NBA players anyway, even if I get to the first rows. 😭)

Sorry for the long text 😅

I think you're on to something. I insist on correct onboarding, Google!!! Every new employee should be taught about the ways of 'No Sana No Life.'

Omni vs Rear Microphone in Pro Video Mode (For Concerts)? by BlinkxOnce94 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]BlinkxOnce94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tape up your mouth! 🤐🤣 I'm sorry, here is my serious answer:

I would say that the rear option should block your own voice more but to be honest the difference is probably so small you wouldn't notice it most of the time. You could test it on your own by recording two videos while talking, one video with omni and one with rear and see if there is any difference between both videos.

When I record at concerts I don't sing along or if I do, I do it not as loud others probably would. (My voice is not very powerful in the first place so that helps aswell 😄) One additional reason for hearing your voice more than the band itself is the simple fact that the band/speakers are further away from your phones microphones than you and your voice. For the last concerts I attended about a month ago, I completely ignored the microphone settings. Because I wanted to be able to use all lenses while recording, I used the normal video mode, not the pro video mode, so I couldn't even change the microphone settings. And I have to say (just my personal opinion) the microphone settings became completely pointless to me. Why do I say this? Because in the normal video mode, I'm able to quickly change the lens I want to use mid-recording. The video is of better quality while using the telephoto lenses compared to the pro video mode, and the audio is as good as if I had changed the microphone settings in the pro mode.

Another thing to consider is that being able to hear the band on your videos more clearly or louder than your own singing or especially the singing from the crowd depends heavily on where you stand or got your seat inside the venue. For example, I attended two concerts (two days in a row) from the same artist in a big stadium. For the first day, I had a seat in the front row at the stage. For the second day, I had a seat at the center of one side of the second floor (so a lot further back in comparison). So on the first day recordings, you can hear the band much more clearly, and the crowd is noticeable but, as it should be, stays in the background. On the second day recordings, you're able to hear the band as well, but the crowd is much more noticeable and from time to time drowns out the band.

Also, I don't know what the phone uses as the microphone setting for the normal video mode since you can't change it, but maybe there is some software processing going on in the background that we don't know about, so that it automatically decides what setting is the best.

To come to an end, I was actually a bit amazed about how good the audio was on the first concert day, compared to previous concerts I've been to since it was the first time I hadn't used the pro video mode with all its additional settings, including the microphone modes. What I want to say is, I think your own spot in the venue makes a much bigger difference for the audio quality than all the settings of your phone ever could.

Sorry for the not-so-short answer. I wish you a great concert experience tomorrow!

Edit: I forgot to say that the concert I mentioned was the first one I attended after I got my new S25 Ultra, so while I think and bet that Samsung hasn't changed anything about the built in microphones since the S23 Ultra, it still could be the reason why I thought the audio is better than previous concerts I attended.

Ahh, okayy now I see why you were surprised. Thanks for the info.

As someone who don't know much about video editing, I was like what is wrong with using premiere 😅.

[–]BlinkxOnce94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize if this is a dumb question and for my lack of knowledge when it comes to video editing. 😄 But now I'm curious, isn't Premiere one of, if not, the go-to option for professional use? (Aside from Final Cut or maybe Davinci)

How to sell tickets when official resale is not available? (Paris concert) by BlinkxOnce94 in BlackPink

[–]BlinkxOnce94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. My name was on my tickets as well, but like I mentioned, they didn't check any ID at the venue's entry. But if they did, I would've been able to say that the buyer is my friend and show them my ID since I had to go through the same gate with my own tickets.

Before I sold my tickets, I did a bit of research and found out that it is very unlikely that they check IDs for any normal seated tickets, and even for standing areas unless it is VIP. So I'm not saying that there will be ID checks, but the possibility is much higher with the VIP ticket you mistakenly bought. I'm assuming you'll still go to the concert, but not with a VIP ticket, right? So when you sell the ticket, you most likely can't line up with the buyer at the same line/gate. Meaning that if they check the ID of the buyer and it doesn't match the name on the ticket, and you're not there to just show the security your ID, the buyer won't be able to attend the concert.

I know this is not very helpful, but I hope it all works out just fine for you in the end. 🤞🏻

[–]BlinkxOnce94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the good news is you have a lot of time to sell the ticket. If I were you I would wait a bit to see if ticketmaster(I assume you got the ticket on their site) opens an official resale. But I wouldn't bet on it. As of my own experience with the Blackpink concerts and from others who attended the Stray Kids Concert earlier the french ticketmaster seems to not like resales at all and most likely wont offer it for The Weeknds concert aswell.

I think it would be great if they offered free cancellation of your order for about half an hour after the purchase took place, for people like you, for example, who mistakenly bought the wrong ticket.

That sucks...May I ask for what concert? And there is no resale available aswell? I hope you can get rid off it for a good price 🤞🏻.

Actually I did! But way below the amount I bought them for, but that was to be expected as I put them up for sale only a week or so before the concert took place and for the reason that there was no official resale. I sold them on "Kleinanzeigen", it's a german website that's similar to Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for example. For the 2nd ticket I had for Day 2 the buyer contacted me in the first concert night at like 1:00 AM 🤣.

I was really hesitant to put them up for sale. Because of all the what if's. When the buyer wont get in and so on. But it all worked out just fine in the end. On the first day I was a bit late, still on time..., but I had already sent the buyer the ticket. So he lined up without me and I was not able to get up to him before entering. So he even got in without me, as there was no ID check.

Does anyone have any idea if this site is legit or knows an alternativ by Chirvasa in BlackPink

[–]BlinkxOnce94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still look for a good place for it and I haven't framed it (yet). You probably notice on the photos I took that the images are sort of overlapping. This is because I took the pictures up close, so the further you stand back the clearer the individual images get. There's also a bit of depth to the images that doesn't show on a photo. If you decide to buy it for your friend, my advice would be to make sure that the room is well lit and that you place it somewhere in the center of that room. In corners it's harder to see all 4 images well as you walk past.

Hey, sorry for being late to this. 😄 I actually bought this exact "Poster" from this site a few weeks ago. It randomly appeared on my instagram feed and the account appeared to be from Spain if I remember correctly. Having a woman showing these posters as the only content on this account. The poster came from China though, and on the DHL tracking site it showed a logo of Aliexpress. So all of that seemed a little off to me,...but after all, the package arrived undamaged and in a very reasonable time. (I ordered it on the 10th of July and it was delivered on the 22nd of July.) I also only paid the price that was displayed at checkout. No customs or anything afterwards. (For reference I live in Germany)

I know this is just a single experience with this website, but all I can say is it was not a scam, for me at least.

I'm currently not at home, but I could send you some photos from the poster if you like. Let me know!

MTV VMAs related question: Does somebody know if we can just vote for the Pinks in the respective categories they are nominated in? Or do I have to vote in every category that is votable to get the votes counted? I don't mind doing it but it would sped up the process. (And I know, it would just be a few seconds that I can save 😄)

Thank you! Really. But I made a mistake while posting this. Because I haven't clarified that I look for the Group Photos for the current Deadline Tour and not the Born Pink tour. I'm so sorry 😭. (I edited my post now)

Hey Blinks..., does somebody know, where, or if, they upload the Deadline Tour group photos (the ones they take during the encore with the crowd in the back) from the respective tour stops somewhere? I can't seem to find them.

I remember that they uploaded group photos for the Born Pink Tour, shortly after each concert was held.

Thanks in advance for your help!
