The show actually keeps adding dialogue as we produce, so really I'm just as excited as you are! We just added the part that says "we have assumed control!!" a few days ago. There might be more coming our way and there might not be. Quote

legacybandnerd Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Xenon said: You are exactly right. I would like to point out the part of the UIL Constitution that Danpod quoted earlier in this thread: Legacy isn't doing BOA San Antonio, so I think that all that they have left is UIL contests. That means, sadly, that these backwards voices should be going away. Legacy is going to Duncanville Marching Invitationals on November 1st, where we can again use our prerecorded dialogues (the backwards dialogue is not the only prerecorded; it is everything said). I'm pretty sure that this will be our last competition. Edited October 12, 2008 by legacybandnerd Quote

I should have read the rules first. I guess that we will be taking out our dialogue (which i don't understand how our show will work because everything is prerecorded if it has to do with electronics). Because this is my job to control these things I will talk to Mr. Glenn Fugett, our director, to see what will happen at UIL. Quote

Like I said, I think it is really unfortunate that they have to go because of how integral to the show they are. But, why can't a band member speak all those parts (other than the backwards)? Sachse has a LOT of dialog and most of it comes from the Drum Major while he is conducting! Quote

I guess a student- maybe myself if i could get my voice deep enough - could speak the parts, although it would not be as effective to the show because in the prerecorded dialogues there is panning, echoes, and distortion (I think a lot of people might have thought of that as a techincal problem) which could obviously not be done while the student is speaking. This will deffinitely be an issue. By the way, what did you think of the fact that we were one of the only bands that did some slow-marching? Quote
Dynasty Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 Talking backwards and playing speech backwards sound totally different. Quote

Bell put real-time effects in on their opening mic'd trumpets. Nobody likes to do slow marching anymore because it is so extremely easy to spot any and all problems. I love watching bands march slowly and do it well because it is so hard to do. Y'all still need to clean it up some more, but I really applaud the effort. Quote

Besides the slow marching in Floatation, are there any other specific areas you might recall that require more cleaning? Quote

Where you guys do the vertical and horiztonal. It's such a great GE moment, but the dirt kinda kills some of the luster. I feel so bad for that little guy in the baritone section. He tries so hard. :[ Quote

At least I think they did.. Quote

I'm not sure how that would work considering that we have tried to have whoever is announcing the contest do the audio it has a cool effect and i think it kinda surprises some people that the announcer is part of our show. You are right in that we connot use it in UIL unless it is said live so i do not know how we are going to do that our band director has not said anything. Unless he has the announcer say it live but i think that would also be against the rules. Quote
takigan Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I don't think having the announcer say it would work....or it wouldn't work and still have the same desired effect. It is possible to say the backwards dialogue as literally reversed from the original sound sample, the speaker would just have to spend a bit of time listening to a recording of the backwards dialogue until they could emulate it perfectly and have it on call.....with a press box announcer, you wouldn't be able to do anything like that (he's not gonna spend precious time before the contest learning how to say this intangible speech, plus he'd have to be cued). Even if he spoke the dialogue forwards ("Which is better, UIL or BOA?") live during the show; recording it live, sequencing it live and firing it back in backwards-mode would still be illegal. Quote
JustAddWat3r Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 So howd legacy do it at UIL this past tuesday? Quote

Xenon Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I think the question was more along the lines of did Legacy use the pre-recorded voiceovers, and if they did, how does that work with the rules? Quote
