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.
Of course it is part of
Fri, 18 Dec 2009, 02:16 pmOf course it is part of your method, if the amplifier gain is at full you have to run something in your chain at a low level to compensate, this will have a bad signal/noise ratio which will make the system noisier than optimum.You need all the power you can get in any situation, if only to give the transient peaks which add life to your sound.

5 Within the fraternity of sound engineers with whom I'm acquainted, the common practice is to set the power amp levels to maximum, and to control overall level from the mixing desk's master control (which hovers around 0db). All audio peripherals (e.g. graphic EQs, compressors and so on) are set to unity gain (0 db), and are left alone.
This is your quote and is plain wrong as demonstrated with all the proof in the link n the previous thread.
