I remember someone posting that this game would be webcast. Was it masslive.com or something like that?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yeah, the audio is totally screwed up. There was NO audio for the first 5 minutes or so.Got home with about 4 minutes left in second quarter, just in time to see Breanna chuck up an air ball from 15. She does have a nice handle for a young big, and the little jump hook in the lane late in the half was silky.
Weird volume differential in the two announcers, the PBP announcer is blaring, the commentator is almost inaudible.
She went out after banging her head on a camera underneath the hoop. Don't think it's serious.... trainer didn't even look at her and there was no need for her to return.Breanna Stewart was already out of the game when I got there (via masslive.com, that is), but Cicero was leading 60-13 with just under 4 minutes to go.

Probably just had two microphones feeding into the same audio feed in stereo. One mic was interpreted as the left speaker, the other as the right speaker. Same general concept as you see in songs that have one instrument coming out of one speaker and other instruments coming out of the others. In certain circumstances audio is mixed like this to create a certain feeling or atmosphere. In this case it was probably just the way the microphone inputs were set up.I watched on the web-cast. The volume was nearly the same for both the PBP and the color guy. PBP just a smidgen louder. Strange thing: The PBP was 100% from my right hand speaker. And the color guys voice was 100% from my left speaker.
Can anyone explain the "science" behind this?

If you had your audio output set on mono instead of stereo, they both would have been evenly split between the two speakers. And for those that had weird volume differentials, it's possible that you have your two speakers set at different volume levels or that you have the sound shifted so that it favors one of the speakers over the other.
Sounds like they simply ran two broadcasters into a traditional stereo setup with a right and left feed. This is not proper mixing but sometimes is done when lines are limited. There, also, a switch on some mixing boards to enable this that may have been a position thatshould have combined the two into a sinlge monoaural path. If the whole signal is passed through you are fine and the two announcers are spread right to left if played on a stereo system or balanced but collapsed to center if played back on a single speaker proving both right and left signals are combined and arrive at it. If either the right or left signal is eliminated along the signal path it will result in a situation where the other broadcaster is missing and is only heard way reduced as ambient signal on the one broadcasters headset. There are other possibilities but this is a fairly common one.I watched on the web-cast. The volume was nearly the same for both the PBP and the color guy. PBP just a smidgen louder.
