Actually with some good FFT you could probably notch out Bb or A or whatever key they're in, but the broadcast is in surround, so there additional issues getting the obnoxiousness isolated.

I may just try filtering at 233 Hertz, 466 Hertz, 932 Hertz and 1864 Hertz using Samplitude's FFT :wink:

By the way, the engineers at the Cup are using Magix Sequoia to mix/master the broadcast, so you can blame them for not filtering out the noise :P

yes, i think so too. soccer is a dull sport anyway. if not for the drunken fools rioting in the stands and the flopping, nothing of interest might happen in a whole game.... :lol:

Always enjoyed playing the game also, the Irish football is way more awesome.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Why the hell are they all in B flat?
Why don't they make some in D, F, or even A, so the crowd at least sounds like a nice soothing B maj7 chord? :lol:

Geez!

hysterical :lol: :lol: :D

I think it's time we go back to tribal games of kicking decapitated heads around the pitch.
The game of soccer/football needs a resurgence.

Here's an ideal chance to save the environment!
Instead of returning the vuvuzelas to landfill why not build your own vuvuzela pipe organ

Here's a handy guide

and here's what your finished pipe organ could look like

Don't forget as well as making a terrific musical instrument, you'll be saving the environment too
