Whats Up At Mix 104.1?

For The Last Couple Of Days It's Been Sounding Like A Low Quality Internet Stream.

WBMX sounds like a tin can now....  It was really good for a while, almost like they had kept the WBCN's processing.  It is too bad that radio stations that are digital can't listen to themselves due to the delay between the studio and what is transmitted.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.  I tuned in to listen to Back To The '80s Friday Night a little while ago (which I sometimes do on Friday nights) and it sounds like I am listening to a 64kbps stereo MP3!  I just turned it off actually.  It bothers me too much to enjoy it.

While we are pointing out Mix 104.1, another thing that bothers me is that the music was all loaded into their automation system pitched at 2%.  Since about 2 years ago, all the new music is loaded in NOT pitched.  The end result is all of the '80s, '90s and early 2000 stuff is pitched and everything newer is not!  It bothers me hearing some songs sped up and others not.  106 WCOD on the Cape did the SAME EXACT thing.  To me, I have a trained ear and the pitch changes stick out like a sore thumb and bother me very much.

While we are on this subject has anybody noticed all the newer songs (past year or two) are in mono.

They're not in mono, just squashed to death!

This is unbelievable! It's sad that such a big station in a big market these days can sound like this for more than a few minutes. They must have had some kind of catastrophic failure to be putting a product like this on the air for a few DAYS!

Something Was Weird With Kiss 108's Audio Processing Last Year And It Was Weeks Before They Fixed It.

No. the same crappy processing that BMX has used for years was loaded back into 104.1's soundchain just minutes after the BCN/BMX flip.

I remember Mix having a lot of terrible sounding music back when they were on 98.5, especially during the old Lander show. Like another poster said, the audio during some songs sounds like a 64k MP3, but then when a personality comes on, it sounds fine.
