was just listening to them on the web and who ever is in charge of the streaming just heard the box tops cry like a baby and was only getting half of the audio. other than that sounded great!
The problem can be the the station is receiving in stereo but only using one channel for the output. It's a common mistake. a simple call to the station might help the cause.
Atoz said:It's not just the streaming. I had on WFDL yesterday and although they broadcast in mono, I only heard half of "Dizzy" by Tommy Roe. The channel with the vocal was barely there, so the problem seems to be on the network's end. :
If it was just the vocal barely there, the cut itself was probably dubbed out of phase. If it happens on many or most cuts, then something is wired out of phase.
If something is 180-degrees out of phase, whatever is on both the left and right channels gets canceled out, usually the vocal, when listening in mono. It sounds normal in stereo. It's a fairly common problem, as stations/networks usually monitor in stereo.
The Hit Parade folks have opened up their receiver for me, and I'm playing
the audio as a mono mix, thru an amp, into a speaker.
The network is perfectly in phase, and they've had some hiccups on the
weekends (going from Saturday at midnight to Sunday at 1201am and again
the next night) but they'll get it right, eventually.
If you're missing a channel, it's at the local station's end, not on the bird that way.
