[QUOTE="Jack Arnott, post: 113569, member: 304"] Re: Sigh I am now reminded of two anecdotes. 1) Very cheap promoter at the local U brings in Arturo Sandaval. The deal I end up with is that I provide the system, and the monitor tech, and he provides the house tech. Mid way through the show, the monitor guy goes out front. Things are not too good. He suggests that the person turn up the star. The "techs" reply: "Lloyd isn't paying me, so I'm not touching the board". 2) Went to see a band from Bozeman about 10 years ago, at a club in nearby Park City. Small club, typical system. Nothing great, but perfectly fine for the situation. Things were going quite smoothly, and I was enjoying the show. I am standing right behind the sound man, because that was the most likely spot for someone who didn't want to dance, but wasn't with a group of people sitting at a table together. Another patron is chatting wit the sound man. Just friendly chatter that I can hear, but is not distracting. Then, female vocal number 2 sings a song that is slightly below her range. The chatter comments on how he can't hear her as well on this song. The sound man says, "yeah, it's like this every night". They continue to chat about this phenomenon, for the entirely of the song. Without any steps being taken to fix it in the mix. I wanted to ring their heads together and exclaim, "If only there were some way to adjust this, and if there were someone designated to do this task!" [/QUOTE]
