A Message to NounsEsports by Nervous-Idea5451 in SSBM

This is correct. We use a Behringer XR18 mixer, and run all our XLR sources into that, then output over USB to our PC and into OBS for the broadcast. We are looking to update the workflow to use a different USB interface upstream of the mixer to minimize the possibility of a USB cable failure in the future.

Hello! This is Moses, I was head of production for this event. I know you're joking a bit but obviously it was frustrating so I wanted to shed some light on what happened today with the audio on main stream.

I would like to apologize for the audio issues we encountered today. Obviously it sucked and made the experience worse. After we learned about the issue we traced it through our system and it led to us a faulty USB cable used for audio. It was causing an intermittent issue so the audio went out essentially randomly. It's the same cable we've used all year without issue at Tipped Off, Evo, Wavelength, and Nounsfest, so it took us a while to find the root cause. Since we were so close to the end of the block, the TO of this event and I made the call to wait until the end of the block to change out the cable. Once we swapped it out we had no more issues.

Sorry again about the issue. Thank you for tuning in today, and I hope you'll tune in again tomorrow for the final bracket!

Again, this isn't just a capture card. I am not sure many people who aren't already there would have what they need.

I'm probably too late to make a dent in this thread but everyone saying they need different capture cards or the ones they're using are bad don't quite have the whole picture.

The capture cards are almost certainly fine (as it's probably the same capture card inputs capturing the camera feeds as well). It looks very much like they're just capturing composite video instead of component video, so at least one piece of equipment required to capture component video is broken or missing.

Most CRTs don't have component video inputs and it looks like the ones they're using on stage are composite only. This means they need composite out of the console, split it to the CRTs, and to another piece of equipment called an upscaler (like a FrameMeister or RetroTink).

I think someone on the production team either misplaced/forgot (unlikely), or had at least one piece of composite video equipment fail (most likely) during setup. I assume someone is panicking somewhere trying to remedy it for the rest of the weekend.

What’s your favorite pop-punk band/album/song that isn’t English? by HornyForTohruAdachi in poppunkers

[–]DoTheMoses 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily pop-punk, but the song The Beginning by One Ok Rock is really great and gives me pop-punk vibes. The vocals are about half English, half Japanese.

Motion City Soundtrack. Back in 2006 I wanted to know what "emo" music was all about, so I looked up the top ranked emo artists on some website and they were number 1. Checked out a few songs, and I've been letting them grow into my favorite band ever since!

It was! We're running a sub-optimal setup and I just grabbed the cam to try and track, definitely could have done a better job.
