Since Fox does the Sunday race and ESPN does not have a Sunday night NASCAR Now show, AB just flew up to CT and did the morning show.<BR/><BR/>Both Nicole and Ryan will return to the rotation shortly.

Never heard Allen mentioned as a Sunday host. Nicole hasn't been on any NN since last Sunday, so I'm going to assume she's taking the week off or is sick. If she isn't on the program this coming week, then I'll start to get a little suspicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-45075555746278901972008-03-16T13:05:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:05:00.000-04:00tripp,Like I said earlier, you would think the aud...tripp,<BR/><BR/>Like I said earlier, you would think the audio guy with the headset on would ask them to do it over again with that bad mix.<BR/><BR/>The fact that NASCAR Now continues to use handheld mics when the cars are on the track right behind the talent is amazing.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-8186842734418591572008-03-16T12:19:00.000-04:002008-03-16T12:19:00.000-04:00As a shooter, I suspect the ESPN crews are using a...As a shooter, I suspect the ESPN crews are using a unidirectional shotgun mic on camera and an more omnidirectional handheld for the reporters. Given the high level of ambient noise at the track when the cars are running on track, they probably only use audio from the handheld. <BR/><BR/>It's clear that during the interview with Dario the handheld wasn't working so all the audio came from the shotgun. The sound guy on the crew should have caught this. <BR/><BR/>These things happen and sometimes the crew doesn't know they have a problem until they review the recording later. By then it's often too late to go back and re-do the interview. If you do get a re-do, you won't get the same energy and quality of response that you did with the first take. <BR/><BR/>If you end up with dodgy audio, there's little that can be done to rescue it. You can try some equalization to crush the lower ranges and bring up the vocal frequencies, but that can often raise background noise too. It's hard to fix the audio in post.Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961339747449141551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28043223173099388642008-03-16T11:51:00.000-04:002008-03-16T11:51:00.000-04:00Ken makes sense to me, I was wondering why Marty d...Ken makes sense to me, I was wondering why Marty didn't seem that loud compared to the pots and pans in the backround.

Unless this is a vacation week, she may need to pick up some more responsibility for Nascar Now and either do more hosting or more features. Allen can't do it all. I thought either she or Ryan Burr were supposed to do Sunday shows.<BR/><BR/>daly planet editor said...<BR/>"Chrissy Wallace is going to be story in a while. An "all access" interview with this young lady proved to be very interesting. It is clear that family plays a big role in the Wallace family, and the mix of racer vs. daughter was interesting. She has the Wallace toughness in a very different kind of personality package."<BR/><BR/>The whole Chrissy Wallace thing is starting to intrigue me. NASCAR.com had a story about her on the 11th, and I assume Nascar Now picked it up from there, with Ryan interviewing her at testing midweek and then showing the story on her today.<BR/><BR/>What's interesting is they all said she's racing at Martinsville on the 29th, and Allen and Rusty talked about that this morning.<BR/><BR/>But the AP story yesterday says:<BR/>"Mike Wallace plans to spot for Chrissy should she be entered in the March 29 Truck Series race. <B>Germain Racing doesn't have the deal completed and still needs a motor for her truck.</B>"<BR/><BR/>So why are they promoting her racing at Martinsville as a done deal? Only thing I can think of is Germain and the Wallaces are hoping these segments will create some interest (I don't think she has a sponsor either, thus no motor money) or they can show these NN segments to sponsors to show that she can get publicity.<BR/><BR/>Disappointing because the way the stories and discussion on NN (and nascar.com) have been worded, it's sounded like she is definitely racing on the 29th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-76433342884513200642008-03-16T11:42:00.000-04:002008-03-16T11:42:00.000-04:00Hello JD.Not into the tech stuff.

The camera mic is what gave us all that ambient noise of the cars going by, IT should have been turned off and ONLY the stick mic used.<BR/><BR/>At Bristol, it seems to me that the stick mic WAS NOT even plugged in or the output level was VERY VERY LOW. Therfore, that Franchitti interview only relied the CAM mic, hence, lots of garage noise and low levels to hear the words being spoken.<BR/><BR/>Falls into the hands of the photog or the audio tech, if there is/was one, to set everything up properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-14522208230225039662008-03-16T11:35:00.000-04:002008-03-16T11:35:00.000-04:00This show had some great content, loved the DJ pie...This show had some great content, loved the DJ piece and Chrissy is growing on me. AB at least can laugh at himself when he got confused. Hope he has a nice place to stay in Bristol, CN so he can rest up til tomorrow. I'll cut them some slack with the ambient noise during the interview since it was happing during the interview. Although if someone watched/listened to it with a closer eye they might not have used it, isn't there a way to tweek out that backround noise). I have a bigger problem with video clips sound (car, engine, crash, whatever) being so loud that the discussion that is being said about them is lost and this happens alot. (Nascar Now, TWIN,etc) That is totally preventable and very annoying.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.com
