[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 100479, member: 46"] Re: New lighting technique? I like loud too, but agree that many shows are TOO loud. I really think mixing too loud is sometimes used as a crutch by engineers. Rather than trying to deal with bad acoustics or other circumstances that would require some major finesse, they just load their show file, crank it, and give the kick drum the star treatment. Mixing loud is comparatively much easier IMHO than the opposite. Of course that doesn't really address your 1 note bass comment - a healthy boost around 800 is sometimes helpful for bass clarity, though there certainly could have been MANY factors contributing to this. Re the blinders lighting technique, if you want a rant, just ask the video guys/camera operators what they think of them!
