Re: Pseudo-intellectual bully with a sound level meter
Very well stated. Many people don't understand where the "suggestions/regulations" come from, or what they are trying to accomplish.
As with many other things-people take a little bit of information and try to manipulate it into whatever their agenda may be. Often distorting the very thing they are trying to use as "evidence' into something that is not correct.
It is also very easy to say )turn it down when kids are present"-so HOW is this actually going to be done? I bet the bands would stop playing there really quickly.
And if it was a simple matter of the FOH person just dropping the master fader a bit-I guarantee that other people would start to complain about the changing levels.
So who is actually "in charge" of the levels?
I would not want to be the provider and then hear reviews after the event about how "XYZ sound companys" system was defective because the levels kept changing during the show..
