To do a show like this, it would look nothing like this. it's too narrow. it's on a hill. there's no straight lines anywhere. it's really quite a tricky space to work with. from our point of view, it's very difficult for us to put a loudspeaker system somewhere that isn't in someone's view. we do a lot of olympic opening ceremonies, that sort of thing. we deliberately design the show so that there's a technical area, a zone where there's no creative activity, and it's out of the view of the audience, where we can place loads of technology that doesn't get in anyone's way. we don't have that op...
And to amplify that, the amplification has to be done in a way that matches the time domain or the sound arrival from the acoustic source. the reinforced source has to follow. from our point of view, we need to know within about a ten millisecond error where each microphone is going to be, and we need to be able to track that. now, there is a tracking system that we're using, so whenever we put a microphone on somebody, we also put a tag on that person, and then we can track them in three dimensions. we're not using that live during the show so, instead, we use it as a programming tool. this i...
Split into two lines. they stay start at this point, they moved to this point, over the duration of this queue. in this queue fires out at a given value. traditionally they wouldn't be a loudspeaker system. when massed pipes and drums are playing, there are 280 of them, it is very loud. but there are other parts where there are 60 musicians, and thatis there are 60 musicians, and that is not loud enough. so our job is to make sure that it should sound a little bit quieter than 280 musicians, but you should still be able to really enjoy the sound of something like that, and amplify that to the ...
Traditionally, there wouldn't be a loudspeaker system. - when massed pipes and drums are playing — - there's 280 of them — it's pretty loud. - but then there's other parts where there's 60 musiciansj and it's not loud enough. so ourjob is to make sure that it should sound a little bit - quieter than 280 musicians, but you should still be able i to really enjoy the sound of something like that, i | and to amplify that to the point where it sounds like it's coming from a speaker means we've gone too far~ _ drumming and chanting of course, the show is also a big logistical challenge. we can't...
