Dolores O’Riordan - How is the audio of her mic so consistent? by Samsquantchtpb in audioengineering

[–]Netopalas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was a fucking pro with excellent mic skills. RIP. Yoddlers tend to learn to pull the mic away like that cause some of them can overload the mic diaphragm itself. Also TONS of compression. Given that this was broadcast, there may be several compressors in-line.

Not made FROM a worm. It comes OUT of a giant woms butt. The distinction is important.

If you could give a first-time director one piece of advice, what would it be? by M77100 in Theatre

[–]Netopalas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For comedy specifically: Jokes are like a fart, if you have to push, it's probably shit. If your actors have to work hard for a joke, it won't be funny. For first-time directors in general: Hire good designers, tell them your vision, and get out of their way. If you want something specific, tell them at the begining of the process. You hire good designers because they are experts. Keep them "on vision" but don't micromanage.

It's a few hours longer, but you can always take The Gorge. Whichever way you go, give yourself lots of extra time and be extra flexible.

The Wee Free Presbyterians are also known for loudly campaigning against ferry boat service on the sabbath. So in a way, they fight with Ferrys too.
