Hello there from Giovanni. Anybody into swapping the Chicago broadcast? I have some stuff from the Italian promotion. Please, let me know. Ciao ciao Giovanni -----Messaggio originale----- Da: police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com]Per conto di Trini Inviato: venerdì 17 ottobre 2003 6.58 A: police@mailman.xmission.com Oggetto: [Police] Chicago Broadcast Sting having trouble with the high notes? Great concert considering the short time they had to rehearse these songs. One gripe though, Stings voice sounded strained. As a sound engineer myself, I am perplexed as to why Sting refuses to use any vocal enhancements that all professional singers use on stage. Outside of the normal reverb/ maybe compression, some artistes use machines like a VP9000 to fatten their vocals. Sting used some effects on the DVD recording but on tour, its totally flat. Why does Sting tour with such raw vocals? This might work if his engineer mixed his vocals well (which he does not) but I am not sure if Sting is to blame or his sound engineer. I find it hard to believe a professional engineer would have someone of Stings status sound so raw and I wonder if these are ridiculous instructions coming from Sting? The high notes? The longer Sting tours, the longer his voice takes to warm up, he had a hard time on Inside, this tour might take 5 songs for him to feel comfortable and the engineer to mix it right. Another beef with this engineer, all I heard were guitars, drums and bass, with the bass signal extremely high during Whenever I Say Your Name, another mistake? I never heard the percussionist from Morocco and barely any Jason Rebello, including his normally great keyboards in Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. Is Stings sound engineer deaf? The show sounded almost like a Police concert, guitar, bass, drums, many classics. Heres the Atlanta radio setlist, Send Your Love Message in a Bottle If You Love Somebody Set Them Free Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Inside Whenever I say Your Name Synchronicity II Roxanne If I Ever Lose My Faith In You Every Breath You Take Fragile This tour seems like it would be similar to the Ten Summoners Tales tour, more rock and pop. Great show overall. I recorded a clean copy directly to CD from the radio, anyone interested in trading, send me an email at trinisocalover@yahoo.com , no sales, only trades.
