Yup, the BBC is recording for television which they specialise in. The Coachella stream is just that - a stream that will be watched on the internet. Really no point in comparing the two.

Only reason I brought up the comparison was because of people complaining of not hear Billie vocals very well, but a few artists are the same where the mix is way more for the backing track/music than the live vocals/crowd.

Watched Billie’s livestream at Coachella and I would honestly prefer her to actually sing like in Your Power and Happier Than Ever because it sounds good but it’s awful when there’s a backing track. I’m not 100% but not sure it’s just the mixing on the vocals I actually think Billie mimed some of her set (see Bury A Friend and You Should See Me In A Crown). Pretty poor by Billie to be honest and glad I didn’t buy tickets for the UK shows as I’d be pretty pissed if I had. Watched Billie Eilish at Glastonbury 2019 and we walked off because we couldn’t hear her, thought it was an Other Stage problem but thinking it might just be a Billie problem.

Of course that’s true to an extent, but this isn’t the noughties. Netflix/Amazon/Apple TV are all essentially internet streams. People aren’t huddled round their laptops watching it on dialup, it plays on my TV through YouTube like it would on any TV channel in just as high a picture quality, so there is merit in discussing why the sound isn’t up to the same standard.

Lots of factors I guess, microphones to pick up the crowd and the mixing that then affects it.

I was at the England v Ukraine Euros QF in Rome last year and In person the atmosphere was amazing, despite the reduced crowd, both sets of fans were singing their heads off all match, but then watching the highlights on TV when I got a chance none of that comes across on the footage, it sounds a bit like the Highbury Library, TV footage is not necessarily an accurate representation of what happened in reality, lots factors affect what ends up coming out of your tv speakers.

Recording infrastructure will affect the sound way more than what speakers you listen to it through. You can have the best speakers in the world but if the sound was recorded in a phone from 2003, it will still sound like it was recorded in a phone from 2003.

Yeah I agree, my point was more that just because it’s being aired on YouTube that shouldn’t necessarily automatically mean it’s got to be of a lower quality, because that’s how we consume an awful lot of our media now. If they’re going to the trouble of broadcasting it in the first place I would’ve thought they’d want to present the best version of it they can.

Here's one from the crowd to compare, what are the random noises come through haha

I mean she certainly sounds better but the crowd is still not exactly the Camp Nou during El Classico is it. No way you’d be able to have a conversation at normal speaking volume stood that close to the stage during a Pyramid headline show.

Yeah but it’s never going to match the production of someone like the BBC, there will be minimum standards for both media, the standard for TV will be higher than for YouTube.

Jesus flicking between the 3 feeds. What an absolute load of shite. Why can't they get the sound right for vox? 

No atmosphere at all. How hard is it to create some atmosphere on film? Fuck me this is depressing. 

The interviews are excruciating too.

You sure youre not one of the people complaining on the chat box in the streams? You sure sound like one of them.

 

 

lol at wanting to put Stromae on a tiny stage.

 

hey, still alive and kicking. Its day 3 and despite some hiccups over the weekend its still been plenty good. Oh yeah and what other fest can get a surprise kpop reunion  that ends up trending higher than the festival itself. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤘🏻👋🏻

This is the biggest singalong in her setlist and there's almost no one singing.. It's definitely not just the audio on the stream, it's the Coachella crowd itself

They’re probably all too busy filming the event on their phones to sing along

He's doing Wembley arena next year. Would have thought he was too big for silver Hayes. I'm expecting him to pop up in 23. 

Stromae is the type to be lowballed at glasto. He played silver hayes last time I think? I don’t think he’d get a very large slot at all.

Plus these smaller stages are starting to wrangle much larger bookings as time goes on.

He played kokos on the tour just before glasto. Since then he's done hammersmith apollo and now wembley arena. Thats a big jump.

Has he had any material or hit album since he last played? I still think at a festival like Glastonbury he isn’t in a position to be demanding a very high slot at all.

New album, first one since 2013

2 songs from the album with 50M+ on Spotify, the rest of the songs from it have minimum 5M

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
