  1. My sister and I are travelling down from Edinburgh. Does anyone know Bristol well? If so, we are staying in the city centre and need a plan to get back to our hotel. We don’t fancy walking back in a city we don’t know. Is there easy public transport or is there a pub nearby to try for a cab? Any recommendations please?

  2. This is my complaint to the theatre re. the sound and their reply - are they taking the mickey? There were only 25 people there and six of us were unhappy.

     

    Dear Sirs

    I am writing to express my disappointment in your showing of the Muse film last night. There was obviously a sound problem with reduced volume and very little base. There appeared to be a slight improvement for the last song only. As the sound was the most important part of the film, Please could you let me know what went wrong?

    Yours sincerely

    Thank you for your email.

     

    I don't know why but the producers of the event decided to mix the sound as 4 channels rather than the 6 we have available, so there was no audio sent to the Sub Bass Speaker (LFE) behind the screen nor to the center speaker behind the screen. The only speakers in use were the Left and Right behind the screen and the surround speakers in the auditorium.

     

    I've copied below an extract from the technical brief we received from the content providers

     

     

    AUDIO

    The feature is intentionally mixed in 4.0 to give an ‘all-encompassing, in the round’ concert feel and

    to follow the concert that is in the centre of the arena on a revolving set, and not from one singular

    point/stage.

    We are aware there is no information on the LFE or centre channel

    This does not require adjustment from the cinemas sound equipment.

     

     

    So as far as we are concerned there was nothing wrong with the sound equipment in the Cinema, It was how the content / producers providers wanted it to be heard.

     

    I did speak to a few customers at the end and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

     

    So in closing all I can do is apologise on behalf of the producers / content providers for your disappointment. How the audio is mixed is out of our control, we can only playout what they send us.

     

    Yours sincerely.

  3. Hi everyone,

     

    Today I came across a review of a cd featuring some tracks played at reading festival 2011 (the OoS gig). This is the review: http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com/godfather-label/muse-last-chance-to-lose-control-godfatherecords-gr-687/

    Now since I have seen no official announcements by the band, I wonder if it is real? Does anybody know?

     

    Definitely not official. Itsounds like they've recorded the audio of the BBC programme.
