[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 92732, member: 277"] Re: EDM Shows If the rig is set up and tuned for the room the only issues would be coming from the DJ if he is trying to boost the high end or something unless it is a poorly recorded track. Most commercially recorded tracks will sound reasonably similar as far as spectral balance. The big issue I run into occasionally is most of the really talented DJ's are recording from scratch or at least adding to all the tracks. In that case if there are some problems they will usually be consistent for the whole set and as you said can be tamed with the house EQ. Many of the inexperienced guys will put the "smiley" curve on their board EQ if they have one so you have to deal with that if it is a problem. Really the main problem that most people run into with EDM in clubs is just not having enough rig for the gig. Unfortunately most club owners put in just the bare minimum of sound equipment they think they can get by with. Electronic Dance Music will easily push and often exceed the limits of a less than adequate system for the entire set. With the low end it is not just how much is there, it is how far down it is. As I mentioned there are fundamental tones often below 30hz and I will add to that "lots and lots of stuff in the 30hz-40hz range." [/QUOTE]
