have you ben bothered by the buffing

Earnest Bovine · Post by **Earnest Bovine** » 2 Sep 2006 12:55 pm

Yes, with all the dropouts and buffering, it is almost useless, unless it is a ploy to make people wish they were there so they will sell more tickets next year.

i gave up. ive been to isgc live at least 9 times dating all the way back to the park chase. i think the restrictions on broadcasting are not in the interest of promoting steel guitar to a larger audience that would benifit the participants in the long run IMHO

It seems better this morning. Sometimes it gets thru a whole song without a dropout.

What are the odds that it will drop out when Buddy plays?

I've got a super high speed connection (sometimes 750K)/second download speeds - I had dropout about 10 times on Buddy's first 2 songs.

Having said that, I'm thankful for what I'm getting to hear. If I wanted something better, I could always make a trip to St Louis.

drop outs have been so bad all weekend it's not really worth listening. Sometimes there's 10min. of streaming - but rare.

I remember the 2003 internet broadcast - rock solid. I was on DSL then. I do understand there are always technial issues.

I know it's a trade off for providing it streaming live vs. having people there - but reality is we can't all afford to go every year. And if you had everyone there that listens in - there aint' enough room at the Inn.

Tell you what - if you could engineer it such that it came over my cable on demand, or satelite radio, or streamed it such that it was rock solid - I'd pay the $65 for three days of live steel!!

Put it in the digital streaming theatres (Carmike) - you'd triple your paying audience! Trick would be to make sure you showed it like if you were in the audience and limit the commentary.

With the small audience potential - it's prob. not worth the expense - NASCAR or U2 live in theatres will get a ROI - a small music convention won't.

oh well - I'll just save my pennies and try and come to STL again next year.

The gremlins did come out when Buddy played i lost it all together and tried again and got Ron Elliot at the end.I was not the only one who had dropped outs. Don Helms was great. Guess what Rotation is now on and its back to normal.

Hi Fiona,

I tried to speak via MSN to a friend of mine staying at the Millennium Hotel, with great difficulty. He told me later the hotel server was on the blink all weekend. Perhaps it's the Millennium IT people we should complain too, or perhaps forget it and go to the Irish festival....

All the best
Mark
