Carols by LED light
Wed, 16 Dec 2009, 11:20 pmLast week I lit a "carols", 2/3 of the audience had LED light effects and even LED "candles"
Am I getting too old or is this an appalling development.The sound guy used the Mike Rane gain structure method so the sound was noisy and "strangled".Not an edifying night.
Maybe, maybe not

I mourn the passing of carol events where you could have a real candle, with a real flame, safely nestled in a holder. Such a magical effect!! None of the LED "candles" I've seen can match it, yet. So yes, with the proviso that I wasn't there and didn't see it, I might agree with you David, an appalling development. I refuse to believe I am getting old though!
I won't comment on the sound as I am totally ignorant in this area.
Cheer up, it's nearly Christmas! (yippee?)
