[QUOTE="Charles Ferguson, post: 209473, member: 12469"] I would like to open this can of worms with a simple question about the sound reinforcement techniques that I have noted in this area over the last decade; What happened to good, clean listenable volumes at live, outdoor venues? It seems that every outdoor performance I go to these days just doesn't have the sound I expect when compared to what I used to hear back in the seventies and eighties. Now, I know there have been a lot of changes in the way equipment and processing has changed but I would think it would have made live performance even better, not worse. Most system architecture has not really changed that much, so I am at a loss to figure out why the music sounds so bad. The number one problem I have noticed is the lower end. It is mixed so bad most of the time, it usually sounds like mud and covers up most of the mid-range instruments so that they can't even be heard. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
