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.

Simplified explanation: I usually have the desk running at say -3dB on the meters when the master is at about 70%. Only then can you set the amplifier input attenuator (it's not a gain control) so the speaker output is the loudest you'll want for the job.
