Si vous regardiez le hockey dans les années 2000, le son de la foule serait souvent plus fort que les commentaires. Cela vous donnait l’impression d’être dans l’arène. Pendant les séries éliminatoires actuelles, les émissions de télévision ont tellement réduit le volume de la foule que vous pouvez à peine l’entendre. Réduire le volume de la foule ruine complètement l’atmosphère. Voici un exemple d’audio de foule lorsqu’il n’est pas réduit : https://youtu.be/ezqwd3mx73o

Agreed
What is the rock song they keep playing for semi promos?
It isn’t just hockey, lots of sports. And really dependent on the placement of mics too. For instance think of how loud the foghorn is on Patriots (NFL) games versus another stadium.
Did it have something to do with the “Let’s Go Brandon” chants.
Didn’t even realize until now. Yeah, that was much better. Drowns out these terrible colour guys too.
As someone who like to hear when the announcers have something worth saying (stats/history/explaining rules) I don’t want the crowd to overpower the announcers. I also don’t want the crowd not to be heard in the broadcast. I get more headaches the louder the crowd is which is why I don’t go to live sports very often and watching hockey at times has given me headaches. There’s a balance between the two that I always hope broadcasts aim for.
I agree. Sometimes I wish I could watch a game on TV without the commentary. Especially ESPN and Doc Emrick back in the day
I noticed it’s muted in ESPN coverage , not TNT though
Just enjoy it while you can, in a few years I reckon the commentators will be just whispering various betting websites or apps and the crowd will be completely obscured with a myriad or advertising
“How else do you expect us to commentate? Y’all some loud motherfuckers!”
-The commentators.
From a technical standpoint, I think at least part of it has to do with the dynamics of how loud and quiet it gets honestly.
Before software was the Chief Audio Engineer for live broadcasts—actively attenuating/compressing dozens of mics, an actual human being was constantly monitoring a mixing board with all 16+ microphones connected.
So when a crowd got much louder back in those days, there was no auto-attenuation (compression) to balance out the sudden spike in volume.
But I doubt there is an active decision to decrease crowd volume. Just more and more focus on Ads, software dependency and typical Hollywood egos.
Hockey peaked in the 2000s/early 10s
Change my mind
I remember a couple of years ago the local commentators just let the crowd “have” the last 30 seconds of a Canes game because it was so loud. It was magical.
