And fiddle tunes ? Could there be fiddle tunes ?

Bit unfair on des. I used to see him live and most of the time he
looked
better than on the screen. I strongly dispute this old thing of the
camera
never lies. I think that very much depends on how its adjusted in the
first place.
Brian

Yes. White balance.


More to do with make-up and lighting, the white balance on the camera
should be neutral.


It should be, but often is not, as one clearly sees
when the director cuts from one camera to another.
In this situation, makeup and lighting are unchanged.


I'm referring to the era when Des was (dis)gracing our screens when
line-ups were done properly and cameras matched on cuts (also mixes and
wipes!)

Was there such an era? I was probably at the fridge and missed it:-)))

** You gotta be ****ing kidding us !!!!!!!!!!

Pay $33 to read complete tripe ???

**** YOU !!!

FYI:

I have tolerated this pig ignorant, Dutch MP3 fascist far too long.

From now on, no more Mr Nice Guy.

Hey Joahan, get your hands off it.

This NG is about home Hi-Fi and you have no ****ing clue what that even
is.

You have no idea what anyone thinks - except you.

Cos you are a boorish, autistic moron.

Just like all Dutch pigs.


Actually Phil, Johan is a Swedish-speaking Finn.



** Who told us on Jan 22 that he was posting from Holland.

In the absence of contrary information, I was entitled to draw the obvious conclusion. Plus his smug, arrogant attitude spoke volumes.


They are in general some of the nicest and most cultured
people it will ever be your priviledge to meet.




** With Johan being a very obvious exception.

So he is one of your little bum boys - right ?

Wot a low piece of **** you are, Iain.

MP3 coding (was Current trends in audio)

For music, LPCM tends to be wasteful. So you can reshuffle how it is
represented and that tends to reduce the number of bits required. Flac
works pretty well for this. Although that has the snag that genuine
random background noise is preserved just as if it were 'real'
information. This is the main reason many 'High Rez' flac files are so
big. Noise, carefully preserved in every detail, not actually
shedloads of more *musical* info.

Yes. That's not the code's problem, though, is it ? If you don't want to
throw anything away you get to keep what's there. Noise in noise out, to
paraphrase.

Yes. You can, of course, reduce the number of bits devoted to noise in some
cases. The classic method being to noise-shape down to fewer bits per
sample. This depends on how many were being wasted. But can have quite a
dramatic effect on the size of 'high rez' flac files or streams. See

http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/MQA/cool/bitfreezing.html

The above, curiously, turns out to be relevant to 'MQA' for reasons that
wouldn't be obvious from reading the MQA claims and documents! So it
something I've been particularly aware of in recent months.

You like to give the impression you know everything about broadcasting
technical matters, Iain. That comment says you know very little.

If you'd ever been in a TV studio of any major broadcaster worthy of the
name at the beginning of the day, you'd have noticed all the cameras on a
chart etc being lined up. And that line up being checked before any
recording, etc.

I sort of assumed you'd understand this. Seems you simply switched on the
studios you work in and started recording with no checks.
