The Consouls effortlessly intertwine the seeming mismatch of jazz and video games, to create a perfect marriage of sound. Twisting a familiar tune into the style of swing, bossa nova and even a hip hop funeral march, you'll never experience video games, or jazz music, the same way again.
The Consouls are a Sydney six-piece who combine their two loves of jazz music and video games to create a unique sound for music fans and gamers alike. It’s a bit smooth, a bit funky, and alot like nothing you’ve ever heard before

I love how you reached the last chord at the very last second of the 15 minute countdown. Awesome set guys. Also did I hear Excitebike at 10:08 onwards?

Bad sound mixing, can hardly hear the sax, it should sound more prominent as the front and centre lead!

Raeven Brough it's because he wasn't standing with the bell directly into the microphone

@@lonca_47 majority sound of the saxophone comes out of the open keys behind the bell, only comes out of the bell when playing the two lowest notes.

Now that I'm listening on better headphones, the sound quality is actually a lot nicer than I remember it being when listening a month or two back.

Saxophonist needed a bell mic or an "x" on the carpet for the first tune. Completely submerged and a painful distraction from the rest of the band for me.

+Byron Sigrano nothing wrong with the saxophone player, just a terrible sound mixing from the sound guy (as usual)

@byronsigrano6849 8 жыл бұрын

+Horrorlink @ 08:55 the saxophonist steps up to the mic and can be heard clearly.

+Byron Sigrano Check out 5:52. When the camera swings left you can see for a second that he is already close enough to the mic. Or look at 6:12, as a sax player myself you shouldn't have to be any closer to be picked up.

+Horrorlink Saxophonist here too brother! Dodgy sound techs are the bane of horn players' lives. Most of them haven't got a clue on how to approach quality sound production for woodwind and brass in a live situation. When you have one who can get the signal sorted and put the right amount of reverb on the desk, the room can change from a crusty grey to a sunny day in a heartbeat. Obviously, not everybody is a Rudy Van Gelder though. How the artist addresses the microphone can also have a real bearing on the sound. It is a lot different from mic-ing up a static guitar amp or kick drum. This performance would have been so much better without the hitches at the start. I just wanted to hear the saxophone clearly in the mix all the way through. My nine year old son is at the gaming stage now and I was trying to get him interested in learning saxophone with this. He dug the playing and the arranging here but even he could pick out the problems with the sound.

+Byron Sigrano As the dodgy sound guy I would like to clarify the situation. These events are produced under very limited budgets and with limited space. With no room for rolling risers and multiple stage box points means very quick and frantic changeover times. During this changeover the sax mic line was accidently plugged into the wrong stage box. Unfortunately it took a while to sort out. As I have commented in the past - big apologies to the band.
