Last 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.

I like LEDs

Tomorrow we are staging a carols night in the Town Hall . . . Glo-sticks and led candles will be universally present. Our insurers would not approve of naked flames in this building, and our weather does not approve of us holding an outdoor event. I will be setting up the PA using the 'Mike Raine' method . . . and it will be noise-free. That's because I have good gear and use good gain structure . . . not an assortment of mismatched vintage bits and pieces run by some apprenctice who has no interest in, or undestanding of, the quality of sound.
