Dieseltech20 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Do you want someone from a Death Metal band or a Hardcore band? There is a huge difference. The answer is neither, someone from a Black Metal band would be more fitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeFanShe Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm going to give it a shot. Why not! My family always tells me I'm loud and can wake the dead. Ill let you all know when I decide which Friday I go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I guess you have never listened to Black Metal before. Geddy can actually sing while Black Metal vocals are normally unintelligible high pitched shrieks and screams that are more akin to a Banshee than an actual singer. Death Metal is growls and Hard Core is shouted/barked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparanoia Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I suggest someone trying to perfect the Blixa scream. It starts at about 1:37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 On the subject of the Banshee screaming contest... At least one poster here can say that he participated last Friday. It was moved to the KI Theater because of the weather, and he got to see behind the scenes of that stage because of his participation. He didn't win, but they do give you a free t-shirt for participating.Not that that poster was me, of course. I'd never do that...[in raspy whisper:] Where'd I put those throat lozenges... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Which screamer were you, because many of the males sounded more like mating calls or dropping bombs than a scream 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 And.... he looks like one, too. But I'm still mad about the boy. He can probably give the ride statistics While Banshee-ing. If that's a word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 The park shared a picture of tonight's contest via Twitter: A strong field of competitors tonight for the "Scream Like A Banshee" contest at Haunt. My question: since this is a competition to find the loudest scream, why is that microphone needed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 They connect the microphone to a program that measures sound volume. The winner is actually determined by the biggest numerical volume, not just by whoever subjectively "seems" the loudest. The winner last Friday was somewhere around 130-133 decibels. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Why is the microphone so low???? Are the Half Pint Brawlers in the house tonight? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 No idea. Last week's microphone was equally low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Why is the microphone so low???? Are the Half Pint Brawlers in the house tonight? If I had to guess, I'd guess it's due to the phenomena in digital recording known as "Clipping". Let's not get me on a digital vs. analog tirade though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 From reading the official rules, I figured that they were using an actual decibel meter for judging. Taking the volume from a vocal mic is going to be less accurate. (Not that it really matters.) If I had to guess, I'd guess it's due to the phenomena in digital recording known as "Clipping". Let's not get me on a digital vs. analog tirade though. Clipping applies to analog as well. The mic has a maximum response, which doesn't depend on whether you use an analog or digital recording system to measure it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I could probably get ten decibels if I got on stage, turned around and let one rip.....wonder if they would accept that as a scream....LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
