[Harp-L] sound mixing, was casual harmonica players

["Bruce K Ritter" <Ritterbk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone recommended the book "Sound FX" by Alexander Case a while back and
it was great (thanks, whoever you were, by the way).  I have been noticing
more about the sound mix since then, and this weekend, my wife and I noticed
the music was mixed louder than the voice in a TV show and we could not
understand what the characters were saying in the story line--which was what
we were watching the show for, after all.  It was not a concert... where the
music would be the most important part, so I agree with David's comment
below.

I find that many tv shows have really bad sound mixing on them now days , I
wonder how on eath these people get jobs as sound techs in the movie
bussiness, a vast majourity of tv film shows are very badly sound mixed ! .
