Re: Behringer line array
That is part of it. The other part (that Tim was eluding to) is the setup of the gear.
i have gone into quite a number of installs (and fixed a number of them) in which all the "right names" were used-as far as gear was concerned. But the physical setup and alignment/tuning was completely wrong-but the names would meet any rider.
No amount of good mixing will fix dead spots or areas that are tonally out of balance with the rest of the system.
There are basically 4 things that make for a good sounding system. They are listed below in order of importance (at least to me) from the most important to the least.
1: System design/layout/aiming etc
2: System alignment/tuning
3: Mix operation
4: Quality of gear
Now the last statement will get a lot of comments, so let me say that the quality of gear can make a HUGE difference on number 1 and 2. If the system "plays well" together, then it is much easier to do the job.
But it was only the quality of the gear that made the difference, then most shows would sound a lot better than they do.
Anyway-that is MY opinion-others will vary I am sure.
