1912-726: A "looping" session after the filming. Another manifestation of lip syncing is the art of making an animated character appear to speak in a prerecorded track of dialogue . The lip sync technique to make an animated character appear to speak involves figuring out the timings of the speech (breakdown) as well as the actual animating of the lips/mouth to match the dialogue track. The earliest examples of lip sync in animation were attempted by Max Fleischer in his 1926 short My Old Kentucky Home . The technique continues to this day, with animated films and television shows such as Shrek , Lilo & Stitch , and The Simpsons using lip syncing to make their artificial characters talk. Lip syncing

The Times deliberately avoided coverage of the AIDS epidemic , running its first front-page article in May 1983. Max Frankel 's editorial coverage of
4063-446: A crossover to separate the sound into low, middle and high frequencies can lead to a "cleaner", clearer sound (see bi-amplification ) than routing all of the frequencies through a single full-range speaker system. Nevertheless, many small venues still use a single full-range speaker system, as it is easier to set up and less expensive. Many types of input transducers can be found in a sound reinforcement system, with microphones being
4302-467: A different mix can be created and sent elsewhere for another purpose. One usage for aux sends is to create a mix of the vocal and instrument signals for the monitor mix (this is what the onstage singers and musicians hear from their monitor speakers or in-ear monitors ). Another use of an aux send is to select varying amounts of certain channels (via the aux send knobs on each channel), and then route these signals to an effects processor. A common example of

Ollison of The Baltimore Sun observed in 2004: "Since
33938-441: The edition number of that issue; on the day of the 2000 presidential election, the Times was revised four separate times, necessitating the use of an em dash in place of an ellipsis. The em dash issue was printed hundreds times over before being replaced by the one-dot issue. Despite efforts by newsroom employees to recycle copies sent to The New York Times ' s office, several copies were kept, including one put on display at
34177-531: The effect of singing voice or instrument being present in anything from a small room to a massive hall, or even in a space that does not exist in the physical world. The use of reverb often goes unnoticed by the audience, as it often sounds more natural than if the signal was left "dry" (without effects). Many modern mixing boards designed for live sound include on-board reverb effects. Other effects include modulation effects such as Flanger , phaser , and chorus and spectral manipulation or harmonic effects such as
34416-413: The epidemic, with mentions of anal intercourse , contrasted with then-executive editor A. M. Rosenthal 's puritan approach, intentionally avoiding descriptions of the luridity of gay venues. Following years of waning interest in The New York Times , Sulzberger resigned in January 1992, appointing his son, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. , as publisher. The Internet represented a generational shift within
34655-461: The essay's penmanship. Following the establishment of nytimes.com , The New York Times retained its journalistic hesitancy under executive editor Joseph Lelyveld , refusing to publish an article reporting on the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal from Drudge Report . nytimes.com editors conflicted with print editors on several occasions, including wrongfully naming security guard Richard Jewell as
34894-520: The expense of live singing." Edna Gundersen of USA Today comments that the complexity of modern stage show has forced "singing and musicianship into minor roles", citing as example artists such as New Kids on the Block , Milli Vanilli , George Michael , Cher , Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson. Gundersen elaborates: "The most obvious example is Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour , a visually preoccupied and heavily choreographed spectacle. Madonna lip-syncs
35133-522: The expense of live singing." Edna Gundersen of USA Today reported: "The most obvious example is Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour , a visually preoccupied and heavily choreographed spectacle. Madonna lip syncs the duet " Now I'm Following You ", while a Dick Tracy character mouths Warren Beatty 's recorded vocals. On other songs, background singers plump up her voice, strained by the exertion of non-stop dancing." Similarly, in reviewing Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation World Tour , Michael MacCambridge of
35372-532: The fact that it did not change the impact of the performance is extraordinary; whether the performance was live or lip synced made no difference to the audience," thus creating an era in which artists recreate the spectacle of music video imagery on stage. Chris Nelson of The New York Times reported: "Artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson set new standards for showmanship, with concerts that included not only elaborate costumes and precision-timed pyrotechnics but also highly athletic dancing. These effects came at
35611-399: The feedback. Dynamic range compression is designed to help the audio engineer to manage the dynamic range of audio signals. Prior to the invention of automatic compressors, audio engineers accomplished the same goal by "riding the faders", listening carefully to the mix and lowering the faders of any singer or instrument which was getting too loud. A compressor accomplishes this by reducing
35850-489: The film track and music track are recorded separately during the creation of a music video , artists usually lip sync their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at a faster speed than the recorded track, to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve. Similarly, some artists have been known to lip sync backward for music videos such that, when reversed,
36089-570: The film), and Gardner's original vocals in Show Boat were heard for the first time in the 1994 documentary That's Entertainment! III . When songs appear in non-musical films, however, the actors sing live on set, but later dub their voices in ADR using a "better" performance of the song. Lip syncing is almost always used in modern musical films ( The Rocky Horror Picture Show being an exception) and in biopics such as Ray and La Vie en Rose , where
36328-401: The first time in its history. In February 2020, the editorial board reduced its presence from several editorials each day to occasional editorials for events deemed particularly significant. Since August 2024, the board no longer endorses candidates in local or congressional races in New York. Since 1940, editorial, media, and technology workers of The New York Times have been represented by
36567-441: The frequencies appropriate for its respective loudspeaker and eliminating losses associated with passive crossover circuits. A simple and inexpensive PA loudspeaker may have a single full-range loudspeaker driver , housed in a suitable enclosure. More elaborate, professional-caliber sound reinforcement loudspeakers may incorporate separate drivers to produce low, middle, and high frequency sounds. A crossover network routes
36806-409: The gain of a signal that is above a defined level (the threshold) by a defined amount determined by the ratio setting. Most compressors available are designed to allow the operator to select a ratio within a range typically between 1:1 and 20:1, with some allowing settings of up to ∞:1. A compressor with high compression ratio is typically referred to as a limiter . The speed that the compressor adjusts
37045-423: The gain of the signal ( attack and release ) is typically adjustable as is the final output or make-up gain of the device. Compressor applications vary widely. Some applications use limiters for component protection and gain structure control. Artistic signal manipulation using a compressor is a subjective technique widely utilized by mix engineers to improve clarity or to creatively alter the signal in relation to
37284-464: The general population of the United States, the Times has attempted to alter its audience by acquiring The Athletic , investing in verticals such as The New York Times Games , and beginning a marketing campaign showing diverse subscribers to the Times . The New York Times Company chief executive Meredith Kopit Levien stated that the average age of subscribers has remained constant. In October 2001, The New York Times began publishing DealBook ,
37523-502: The guidelines established in "Ethical Journalism" and "Guidelines on Integrity". According to the former, Times journalists must abstain from using sources with a personal relationship to them and must not accept reimbursements or inducements from individuals who may be written about in The New York Times , with exceptions for gifts of nominal value. The latter requires attribution and exact quotations, though exceptions are made for linguistic anomalies. Staff writers are expected to ensure
37762-465: The heart of a sound reinforcement system. This is where the sound engineer can adjust the volume and tone of each input, whether it is a vocalist's microphone or the signal from an electric bass , and mix, equalize and add effects to these sound sources. Doing the mixing for a live show requires a mix of technical and artistic skills. A sound engineer needs to have an expert knowledge of speaker and amplifier set-up, effects units and other technologies and
38001-495: The help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse." Her manager stated that "Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don't have to hear her croak through a song on national television." During the incident, vocal parts from a previously performed song began to sound while the singer was "holding her microphone at her waist"; she made "some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off
38240-409: The honorific from Osama bin Laden 's name, consistent with deceased figures of historic significance, such as Adolf Hitler , Napoleon , and Vladimir Lenin . The New York Times uses academic and military titles for individuals prominently serving in that position. In 1986, the Times began to use Ms , and introduced the gender-neutral title Mx. in 2015. The New York Times uses initials when
38479-425: The implementation. Many sound reinforcement loudspeaker systems incorporate protection circuitry to prevent damage from excessive power or operator error. Resettable fuses , specialized current-limiting light bulbs, and circuit breakers were used alone or in combination to reduce driver failures. During the same period, the professional sound reinforcement industry made the Neutrik Speakon NL4 and NL8 connectors
38718-426: The in-ear monitor sends. Since their introduction in the mid-1980s, in-ear monitors have grown to be the most popular monitoring choice for large touring acts. The reduction or elimination of loudspeakers other than instrument amplifiers on stage has allowed for cleaner and less problematic mixing for both the front of house and monitor engineers. Audio feedback is greatly reduced and there is less sound reflecting off
38957-405: The in-ear monitors of one performer cannot be heard by the other musicians. A downside of this isolation is that the performer cannot hear the crowd or the comments from other performers on stage that do not have microphones (e.g., if the bass player wishes to communicate to the drummer). This has been remedied in larger productions by setting up microphones facing the audience that can be mixed into
39196-411: The information in the XML and INI files. The image tiles are generated using GDAL and displayed using Leaflet , using data from a content delivery network . The Times ran optical character recognition on the articles using Tesseract and shingled and fuzzy string matched the result. The New York Times uses a proprietary content management system known as Scoop for its online content and
39435-415: The introduction of the hanging or flying of main loudspeakers at large concerts. During the 1980s the large speaker manufacturers started producing standard products using the innovations of the 1970s. These were mostly smaller two way systems with 12", 15" or double 15" woofers and a high frequency driver attached to a high frequency horn. The 1980s also saw the start of loudspeaker companies focused on
39674-422: The ironic dubbing of Debbie Reynolds by Betty Noyes on Would You " although he pointed out that "the 19-year-old Reynolds never puts a foot wrong on smashers like Good Morning ". Reynolds also later acknowledged Betty Noyes ' uncredited contribution to the film, writing: "I sang You Are My Lucky Star with Gene Kelly. It was a very rangy song and done in his key. My part did not come out well, and my singing voice
39913-438: The longest-running newspapers in the United States, the Times serves as one of the country's newspapers of record . As of 2023 , The New York Times is the second-largest newspaper by print circulation in the United States , with 296,330 print subscribers. The Times has 8.83 million online subscribers, the most of any newspaper in the United States. The New York Times is published by The New York Times Company ; since 1896,
40152-427: The lyrics, and do it over and over until our spot on the show was concluded", leading to a performance Zappa described as "Detroit's first whiff of homemade prime-time Dada ." Morrissey protested a similar policy on the BBC music programme Top of the Pops by singing " This Charming Man " with a fern plant as a "microphone". When appearing on a German music programme in 1986, English metal band Iron Maiden gave
40391-737: The main outputs are often sent to an additional equalizer, or directly to a power amplifier , with one or more loudspeakers (typically two, one on each side of the stage in smaller venues, or a large number in big venues) that are connected to that amplifier. In large-format systems, the signal is typically first routed through an equalizer then to a crossover . A crossover splits the signal into multiple frequency bands with each band being sent to separate amplifiers and speaker enclosures for low, middle, and high-frequency signals. Low-frequency signals are sent to amplifiers and then to subwoofers , and middle and high-frequency sounds are typically sent to amplifiers which power full-range speaker cabinets. Using
40630-414: The mid-range frequencies. They are also available as separate rack-mount units that can be connected to a mixing board. Parametric equalizers typically use knobs and sometimes buttons. The audio engineer can select which frequency band to cut or boost, and then use additional knobs to adjust how much to cut or boost this frequency range. Parametric equalizers first became popular in the 1970s and have remained
40869-401: The mixing console. A DI unit may be necessary to adapt some of these sources to the inputs of the console. Wireless systems are typically used for electric guitar, bass, handheld microphones and in-ear monitor systems. This lets performers move about the stage during the show or even go out into the audience without the worry of tripping over or disconnecting cables. Mixing consoles are
41108-434: The most commonly used input device. Microphones can be classified according to their method of transduction, polar pattern or their functional application. Most microphones used in sound reinforcement are either dynamic or condenser microphones. One type of directional microphone, called cardioid mics, are widely used in live sound, because they reduce pickup from the side and rear, helping to avoid unwanted feedback from
41347-447: The negative perceptions that are created and the SMPTE ST-2064 standard are discussed in audio to video synchronization . "[S]ome of the most talented singers have been caught in the act of lip-synching". Arts journalist Chuck Taylor says that it is considered "an egregious offense", but he points out that when singers are dancing and doing complex stage shows, it is hard to sing live. On some TV show performances, "the singer's microphone
41586-401: The newsletter's staff included individuals who had created the Times ' s dialect quiz, fourth down analyzer, and a calculator for determining buying or renting a home. The Upshot debuted in April 2014. Fast Company reviewed an article about Illinois Secure Choice — a state-funded retirement saving system — as "neither a terse news item, nor a formal financial advice column, nor
41825-453: The newspaper's structure. Ochs established the Times as a merchant's newspaper and removed the hyphen from the newspaper's name. In 1905, The New York Times opened Times Tower , marking expansion. The Times experienced a political realignment in the 1910s amid several disagreements within the Republican Party . The New York Times reported on the sinking of the Titanic , as other newspapers were cautious about bulletins circulated by
42064-452: The only witness of the Manhattan Project, a detail realized by employees of The New York Times following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima . Following World War II , The New York Times continued to expand. The Times was subject to investigations from the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee , a McCarthyist subcommittee that investigated purported communism from within press institutions. Arthur Hays Sulzberger 's decision to dismiss
42303-435: The onstage signals to two mixing consoles : the front of house (FOH), and the stage monitor system , which is often a second mixer at the side of the stage. In these cases, at least two audio engineers are required; one to do the main mix for the audience at FOH and another to do the monitor mix for the performers on stage. Once the signal arrives at an input on a mixing console, this signal can be adjusted in many ways by
42542-407: The original recording adds authenticity. But some early musicals usually use live recordings. In the 1950s MGM classic Singin' in the Rain , lip syncing is a major plot point, with Debbie Reynolds ' character, Kathy Selden, providing the voice for the character Lina Lamont (played by Jean Hagen ). Writing in UK Sunday newspaper The Observer , Mark Kermode noted, "Trivia buffs love to invoke
42781-542: The output and overheating. Audio engineers select amplifiers that provide enough headroom . Headroom refers to the amount by which the signal-handling capabilities of an audio system exceed a designated nominal level . Headroom can be thought of as a safety zone allowing transient audio peaks to exceed the nominal level without damaging the system or the audio signal, e.g., via clipping . Standards bodies differ in their recommendations for nominal level and headroom. Selecting amplifiers with enough headroom helps to ensure that
43020-442: The pages were reduced to 15.5 inches (390 mm). On February 14, 1955, a further reduction to 15 inches (380 mm) occurred, followed by 14.5 and 13.5 inches (370 and 340 mm). On August 6, 2007, the largest cut occurred when the pages were reduced to 12 inches (300 mm), a decision that other broadsheets had previously considered. Then-executive editor Bill Keller stated that a narrower paper would be more beneficial to
43259-497: The paper from Raymond, who had changed its name to The New-York Times . Under Jones, the Times began to publish a series of articles criticizing Tammany Hall political boss William M. Tweed , despite vehement opposition from other New York newspapers. In 1871, The New-York Times published Tammany Hall's accounting books; Tweed was tried in 1873 and sentenced to twelve years in prison. The Times earned national recognition for its coverage of Tweed. In 1891, Jones died, creating
43498-438: The paper has produced several television series, podcasts — including The Daily — and games through The New York Times Games . The New York Times has been involved in several controversies in its history. The Times maintains several regional bureaus staffed with journalists across six continents, and has received 137 Pulitzer Prizes as of 2023, the most of any publication, among other accolades. The New York Times
43737-496: The paper. The descender of the "h" was shortened on December 30, 1914. The largest change to the nameplate was introduced on February 21, 1967, when type designer Ed Benguiat redesigned the logo, most prominently turning the arrow ornament into a diamond. Notoriously, the new logo dropped the period that remained with the Times up until that point; one reader compared the omission of the period to "performing plastic surgery on Helen of Troy ." Picture editor John Radosta worked with
43976-561: The passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 was a "big fucking deal". The Times ' s profanity policy has been tested by former president Donald Trump . The New York Times published Trump's Access Hollywood tape in October 2016, containing the words "fuck", "pussy", "bitch", and "tits", the first time the publication had published an expletive on its front page, and repeated an explicit phrase for fellatio stated by then- White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci in July 2017. The New York Times omitted Trump's use of
44215-438: The performance as less entertaining or possibly negatively, as compared to a performance displayed without the electronically introduced error. There is a technical solution to this problem, the SMPTE ST-2064 standard, but as of March 2018 it has not been adopted by any television production groups such as those who provide large venue television, or by broadcasters who provide live broadcasts. These video signal processing delays,
44454-424: The performance, and can damage speakers and performers' and audience members' ears. Audio feedback from microphones occurs when a microphone is too near a monitor or main speaker and the sound reinforcement system amplifies itself. Audio feedback through a microphone is almost universally regarded as a negative phenomenon, many electric guitarists use guitar feedback as part of their performance. This type of feedback
44693-459: The performance, revealed in his 2008 memoirs, Pavarotti Visto da Vicino , that the performance was prerecorded weeks earlier. "The orchestra pretended to play for the audience, I pretended to conduct and Luciano pretended to sing. The effect was wonderful," he wrote. Pavarotti's manager, Terri Robson, said that the tenor had turned the Winter Olympic Committee's invitation down several times because it would have been impossible to sing late at night in
44932-404: The performer to freely move about the stage while receiving their monitor mix. In-ear monitors offer considerable isolation for the performer using them: no on-stage sound is heard and the monitor engineer can deliver a much more accurate and clear mix for the performer. With in-ear monitors, each performer can be sent their own customized mix; although this was also the case with monitor speakers,
45171-487: The performer's voice from strain and damage, as well as to maintain a high caliber of production. A notable example of using lip syncing as a special effect includes performances of The Phantom of the Opera , with swing actors in the same costumes as the lead actors give the illusion of the characters moving around the stage with some mystery. Artists may also lip sync in situations in which their backup bands and sound reinforcement systems cannot be accommodated, such as
45410-501: The performers in front of them. The clarity of the mix for the performer on stage is also typically compromised as they hear more extraneous noise from around them. The use of monitor loudspeakers, active (with an integrated amplifier) or passive, requires more cabling and gear on stage, resulting in a more cluttered stage. These factors, amongst others, have led to the increasing popularity of in-ear monitors. In-ear monitors are headphones that have been designed for use as monitors by
45649-554: The phrase " shithole countries " from its headline in favor of "vulgar language" in January 2018. The Times banned certain words, such as "bitch", "whore", and "sluts", from Wordle in 2022. Journalists for The New York Times do not write their own headlines, but rather copy editors who specifically write headlines. The Times ' s guidelines insist headline editors get to the main point of an article but avoid giving away endings, if present. Other guidelines include using slang "sparingly", avoiding tabloid headlines , not ending
45888-430: The physical size of its print edition while retaining its broadsheet format. The New-York Daily Times debuted at 18 inches (460 mm) across. By the 1950s, the Times was being printed at 16 inches (410 mm) across. In 1953, an increase in paper costs to US$ 10 (equivalent to $ 113.88 in 2023) a ton increased newsprint costs to US$ 21.7 million (equivalent to $ 308,616,417.91 in 2023) On December 28, 1953,
46127-434: The political blog FiveThirtyEight in a three-year agreement. The blog, written by Nate Silver , had garnered attention during the 2008 presidential election for predicting the elections in forty-nine of fifty states. FiveThirtyEight appeared on nytimes.com in August. According to Silver, several offers were made for the blog; Silver wrote that a merger of unequals must allow for editorial sovereignty and resources from
46366-415: The pop star was "performing her hit song "Roar" at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes on Saturday, [she] suffered a devastating lip-sync malfunction." Perry was "unable to match the backing track" with her lip movements, causing the host to stop the performance and ask her if she wished to start again. Perry restarted the song, this time without the backing track. The producers issued a statement indicating that it
46605-511: The position until his retirement in 1961. John Bertram Oakes served as opinion editor from 1961 to 1976, when then-publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger appointed Max Frankel . Frankel served in the position until 1986, when he was appointed as executive editor. Jack Rosenthal was the opinion editor from 1986 to 1993. Howell Raines succeeded Rosenthal until 2001, when he was made executive editor. Gail Collins succeeded Raines until her resignation in 2006. From 2007 to 2016, Andrew Rosenthal
46844-418: The print version of the Times , these headlines are written by one copy editor, reviewed by two other copy editors, approved by the masthead editors, and polished by other print editors. The process is completed before 8 p.m., but it may be repeated if further development occur, as did take place during the 2020 presidential election . On the day Joe Biden was declared the winner, The New York Times utilized
47083-419: The print version to use "wiretapped" in order to fit within the print guidelines. The nameplate of The New York Times has been unaltered since 1967. In creating the initial nameplate, Henry Jarvis Raymond sought to model The London Times , which used a Blackletter style called Textura , popularized following the fall of the Western Roman Empire and regional variations of Alcuin 's script, as well as
47322-631: The process. After these details emerged, at least 26 different lawsuits were filed under various U.S. consumer fraud protection laws. On August 28, a settlement was approved that refunded those who attended concerts along with those who bought Milli Vanilli recordings. An estimated 10 million buyers were eligible to claim a refund. Chris Nelson of The New York Times reported that by the 1990s, "[a]rtists like Madonna and Janet Jackson set new standards for showmanship, with concerts that included not only elaborate costumes and precision-timed pyrotechnics but also highly athletic dancing. These effects came at
47561-446: The program equalizer of choice for many engineers since then. A high-pass (low-cut) and/or low-pass (high-cut) filter may also be included on equalizers or audio consoles. High-pass and low-pass filters restrict a given channel's bandwidth extremes. Cutting very low-frequency sound signals (termed infrasonic , or subsonic ) reduces the waste of amplifier power which does not produce audible sound and which moreover can be hard on
47800-427: The program material. An example of artistic compression is the typical heavy compression used on the various components of a modern rock drum kit. The drums are processed to be perceived as sounding more punchy and full. A noise gate mutes signals below a set threshold level. A noise gate's function is in, a sense, opposite to that of a compressor. Noise gates are useful for microphones which will pick up noise that
48039-417: The reader but acknowledged a net loss in article space of five percent. In 1985, The New York Times Company established a minority stake in a US$ 21.7 million (equivalent to $ 308,616,417.91 in 2023) newsprint plant in Clermont, Quebec through Donahue Malbaie . The company sold its equity interest in Donahue Malbaie in 2017. The New York Times often uses large, bolded headlines for major events. For
48278-544: The rental company that tour with the band to set up and calibrate the equipment. The individual that mixes the band is often selected and provided by the band, as they are familiar with the various aspects of the show and understand how the band wants the show to sound. The New York Times The New York Times ( NYT ) is an American daily newspaper based in New York City . The New York Times covers domestic, national, and international news, and publishes opinion pieces, investigative reports, and reviews. As one of
48517-465: The renting company. From this perspective, speaker cabinets need to have easy-to-access horns, speakers, and crossover circuitry, so that repairs or replacements can be made. Many touring acts and large venue corporate events will rent large sound reinforcement systems that typically include one or more audio engineers on staff with the renting company. In the case of rental systems for tours, there are typically several audio engineers and technicians from
48756-400: The request of Rickey Minor , the pregame show producer", who argued that "There's too many variables to go live." Subsequent Super Bowl national anthems were performed live. Whitney Houston 's rendition of the anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl was also reported to have been lip synced. Such pre-recorded performances for the Super Bowl's halftime shows and national anthem have been commonplace since
48995-459: The requirements of the loudspeaker. Some active loudspeakers also have equalization, crossover and mixing circuitry built in. Since amplifiers can generate a significant amount of heat, thermal dissipation is an important factor for operators to consider when mounting amplifiers into equipment racks. Many power amplifiers feature internal fans to draw air across their heat sinks. The heat sinks can become clogged with dust, which can adversely affect
49234-551: The scandal, culminating in a town hall in which a deputy editor criticized Raines for failing to question Blair's sources in article he wrote on the D.C. sniper attacks . In June 2003, Raines and Boyd resigned. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. appointed Bill Keller as executive editor. Miller continued to report on the Iraq War as a journalistic embed covering the country's weapons of mass destruction program. Keller and then-Washington bureau chief Jill Abramson unsuccessfully attempted to subside criticism. Conservative media criticized
49473-435: The second use of aux sends is to send all of the vocal signals from a rock band through a reverb effect. While reverb is usually added to vocals in the main mix, it is not usually added to electric bass and other rhythm section instruments. The processed input signals are then mixed to the master faders on the console. The next step in the signal path generally depends on the size of the system in place. In smaller systems,
49712-468: The show used live performances with singers and acoustic instruments, it required performers to "...display their unembellished voices and ability to perform live." On MTV Unplugged , artists could not use lip syncing, backup tracks, synthesizers, and racks of vocal effects. With Unplugged , authenticity in live performances again became an important value in popular music . Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran have called for honesty in live shows by joining
49951-409: The signal will remain clean and undistorted. Like most sound reinforcement equipment, professional power amplifiers are typically designed to be mounted within standard 19-inch racks . Rack-mounted amps are typically housed in road cases to prevent damage to the equipment during transportation. Active loudspeakers have internally mounted amplifiers that have been selected by the manufacturer to match
50190-451: The signals of all of the inputs to one or more mixing consoles . In a coffeehouse or small nightclub, the snake may be only routed to a single mixing console, which an audio engineer will use to adjust the sound and volume of the onstage vocals and instruments that the audience hears through the main speakers and adjust the volume of the monitor speakers that are aimed at the performers. Mid- to large-size performing venues typically route
50429-448: The singer is seen to sing forwards while time appears to move backwards in his or her surroundings, such as in Coldplay's " The Scientist ". Notable exceptions to this trend include Bruce Springsteen 's hit " Streets of Philadelphia ", which only uses the instruments as a backing track while the vocals were recorded with a microphone attached on the singer, giving a different feel to it. On American Bandstand and most variety shows of
50668-407: The sound engineer. A signal can be equalized (e.g., by adjusting the bass or treble of the sound), compressed (to avoid unwanted signal peaks), or panned (that is sent to the left or right speakers). The signal may also be routed into an external effects processor , such as a reverb effect, which outputs a wet (effected) version of the signal, which is typically mixed in varying amounts with
50907-672: The sound reinforcement market. The 1990s saw the introduction of line arrays , where long vertical arrays of loudspeakers in smaller cabinets are used to increase efficiency and provide even dispersion and frequency response. Trapezoidal -shaped enclosures became popular as this shape allowed many of them to be easily arrayed together. This period also saw the introduction of inexpensive molded plastic speaker enclosures mounted on tripod stands. Many feature built-in power amplifiers which made them practical for non-professionals to set up and operate successfully. The sound quality available from these simple powered speakers varies widely depending on
51146-442: The source of singing talent in the group, owner Frank Farian confessed to reporters on November 12, 1990, that Morvan and Pilatus did not actually sing on the records. As a result of American media pressure, Milli Vanilli's Grammy was withdrawn four days later, and Arista Records dropped the act from its roster and deleted their album and its masters from their catalog, taking the album Girl You Know It's True out of print in
51385-416: The stage".
