[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 92755, member: 880"] Re: EDM Shows I'm thinking about the psychology that happens with musicians. As the night goes on they often bump up their level. I'm sure that some of the DJ's do various tricks with the booth monitors [on and off for various things etc]. But if you have their booth feed as a separate input to your console, you could give them some slight nudges as the set burns and maybe, if they are using the monitors, that would keep them from pushing the levels up on their main output. It's just a technique that I guess I would expect you guys to use. The idea of keeping a little of the house in their monitors is a clever idea. I have never done an EDM event (that I can remember;) and it's been awhile since I've done any generic DJ stuff as well. Maybe keeping them from pushing the mains is actually counter productive? If the DJ feels a level bump is right then maybe the audience does too? My concern is mostly for keeping the system and the audience's ears safe particularly when there is a series of sets. It's like TV commercials; no one wants their set to sound softer than the last. So, if each set bumps the level 3-6db then at the end of the day... [/QUOTE]
