[quote name=\'SRIV94\' date=\'Dec 1 2003, 12:10 PM\'] I was doing a little videotape watching over the holiday weekend and something that I had noticed before came back to me. I don't know if this is limited to GT shows but it seems to be more prevalent on them than anything else. There seems to be a lot of echo on the programs (most notably P+, TT7x and even into TTTT9x). It seems that you can tell when someone's about to guess a word correctly on P+ because you can faintly hear the bells in the background before the contestant has even responded (the closest parallel I can think of to visualize this is near the ending of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", where Robert Plant's vocalization of "way down" is heard twice--first as an echo, then his actual screeching of the words). I can't fathom that this would be by design, but I also can't fathom that audio mixing could be that inconsistent by that time (and I seem to recall this happening on the original airings of these shows, not just the reruns on GSN).
I tried to find something about this on Usenet, but didn't see anything. So am I completely crazy, or just slightly?

I haven't noticed this, but if I'm understanding you correctly (no guarantee...), then you would have to be assuming that the audio is added in post, otherwise there is no way that I can think of that a cue would start playing
before the event to trigger it occurs.
