its all about the bass, not the treble

wait a minute....i haven't listened to O&J since shortly after Ant got the boot. Question is, did Opies and Sams balls finally drop or are they now turning the bass up to 9 on their mics. Because they both sound more like Berry White then the squeaky nerds I knew from the O & A show.

According to Opie....its "what about that bass?"

As much as I'd love to move along the hate train... They are in a different studio while the old one is being overhauled so they sound really shitty. Bennington is having the same issue.

i'm no audio engineer, but aren't equalizer settings very trivial to change? pretty sure opie just wants to have a booming voice, it feeds his ego or something. everybody has heard him drop the pitch of his voice on show before, right?

Yes, he's feeding his ego and also boosting all his co-hosts bass levels too. It's all intentional. They're totally not incompetent.

They would need a capable engineer to do it.

my point was that lowering the bass probably doesn't require much if any background in audio engineering

He always does that anyhow. Drops his voice an octave deliberately, but he's got a fucked up palate and bottom teeth so he gets all phlegmy and nasally. Then he really tweaks the mix to give himself some ballllllz

Howard Stern is the same way. You get him away from a microphone that is butching him up and he sounds like a fucking pipsqueak.

I think the knobs in the studio got mixed up. It sounds like the rhythm is the bass, and the bass is the treble.
