| | 19 | == What Is Needed |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | Taking as the baseline where TSC is today, the following changes are needed: |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | Solo vocals: |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | - EQ. This generally needs to be done per soloist. |
| | 26 | - Compression (this is in the "sound quality" bucket, I already have basic compression for safety/intelligibility). |
| | 27 | - Mic technique and soloists listening to themselves. |
| | 28 | - Solo monitor mix. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | Choir: |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | - EQ. Different from solo EQ because choir mics, most notably, don't get enough high frequency content from the singers due to much larger distance. |
| | 33 | - Choir monitor mix (probably does not affect quality of sound coming from choir but does make a difference in choir's quality of life). |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | Instruments: |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | - Mic selection and placement. See MicrophonePlacement. Some instruments are OK, some are very much not OK. |
| | 38 | - Leveling of multiple musicians playing the same instrument against each other (flutes, violins). |
| | 39 | - A better approach for adjusting faders at concerts (subgroups, pre-set levels for different songs, etc.). |
| | 40 | - Effects (e.g. reverb for violins). |
| | 41 | - Gates. |
| | 42 | - Compression (this is 100% sound quality bucket, and is toward the end, but for example violins can possibly benefit from compression). |
| | 43 | |
