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.

The really frustrating

The really frustrating thing about the sound was that it was all top line gear, top end Mackie mixer, Yamaha graphics, Rane compressors Crown amps EV speakers.but with his amps and graphics at full he ran his desk at 20%, barely troubling his vu meters.So his dynamic range was on a par with an a.m. radio, it really is easy to make good gear sound bad. I sent him the link to do it right, we'll see next year. http://www.gain.pe.kr/spboard/board.cgi?id=audio&action=download&gul=14
