Did 92.9 get new processing or what?

The highs are too high.. kinds harsh on the ssss's and zzzz'z and the separation and compression seem a bit better..
It's definatly an improvement over the muffled dead sound they've had for the past few years
Hopefully they will tweak the highs just a tad without taken 2 steps backwards....

I sure wish RBO would fix their distorted highs... its especially horrendous in the afternoon when they are on the bird.
 
I was wondering about that myself. It's sounding pretty bad! As if something might have blown in a rackmount and the new one hasn't came in yet haha. Who knows...
 
yes muffled with the distortion still there
it sounds pretty bad
WUMR actually does sound a little better at times
at least you can hear what the say and play
 
its better but i wouldnt exactly call it a clean audio chain
it nice to hear symbols again but the S's are a little harsh but nothing like 103.5 that mess hurts on a killer system
 
From what I understand there are few engineers who really understand audio processing any more because there are so many 'presets' on today's processors. Just push the button and walk away.

It can take days if not weeks to get processing right, especially with the modern digital stuff. There are so many adjustable parameters that you have to go very, very slowly and let your ears rest frequently. A modern 8400/8500 can do wonderful things, but also has great capacity for biting you the tookas.

Which is why many just push a preset and walk away....
 
i think they can tweak all the want but it wont help.. i suspect for one that their music library probably sounds like crap to start with.. i guess we will see.. i hear the same distortion thats been there for a longtime.. only the highs have gone up and down a couple times and at one point i think i heard a little more compression than normal... i dont hear much at all on most memphis stations... just sounds like a vu stuck on 100% with limited dynamic range for most stations... gotta love digital multiband processing...

i loved the sound of those old optimods with 1 analog vu meter

They're probably hitting the clipping too hard to try to be loud. That will cause serious high freq distortion and drive away the womens. Over compressing is also muy fatigueing, you need to adjust those digitomic processors with a "less is more" attitude.
