Retro TV shows sound like broadcast audio was captured off a speaker
I've noticed on the local MeTV channel (shows old tv programming) on many episodes of Daniel Boone the audio has a tubby quality that I swear sounds like the audio was recorded with a mic held up to a speaker. Particularly obvious on the opening and closing credits. Is anyone familiar with the delivery pipeline of these retro tv channels? Is it possible this is being done somewhere in the chain? For what possible reason would they employ such a hack method?

I've seen that happen before...old content being ingested into a storage device for broadcast, and the audio gets trashed in the process. Sometimes, you really can't click one process/codec & use it for everything.. Just a guess.... Mike |

For what possible reason would they employ such a hack method? Wonder if it went through one of the cassette formats at some time? M II, for example, used Dolby C for the linear tracks and unless set up correctly could sound very strange. In the UK, some of these older taped shows have been archived to different formats more than once and have no relation quality wise to the original recording. -- *Bigamy is having one wife too many - monogamy is the same Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
