HUMMED WHILE PLAYING
The piano soloist in a re-..
cent scone with Jeanette
MacDonald and Molson Eddy had a trick of humming what he played under his breath. Human earn could not "hair it, amid the singing and big 'orchesten, but Mike MoLaugh- ln, the sound engineer," heard it He made several sound tests
before he discovered what was wrong, The ammxed planist never realled that he bummed his tunes.
Similarly Bert Lkhr, when he sang a song for a 'picture. was made to stand against the back of a chair placed in position "be- tore the microphone, and hold on to it Armly with both hands. This was to make impossible the unconscious, swaying of the body back and forth he sang. It changed distances between his vocal chords and the microphone. Other things sound men ban on sets are squeaky, shoes, too dry newspapers, which rattle and should be dampened slightly in the interest of sound; B violin and oboe striking the same note simultaneously in an orchestra, which sets up a resonance that creates a discord in recording though not noticeable to the ear.
