[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 113533, member: 4463"] Re: Speaker arrangement for small theatre? Not to divert this thread into yet another different direction, but I am reminded of an effect I first noticed on Les Mis which is that the level of a given vocal through the PA and 50' or air and a microphone was non-linear with the same vocal recorded directly. The first version is more compressed, which means that in the quiet bits you hear more ambient and less direct, but in the loud bits you hear more direct. This makes for rather an inconsistent final mix. I tried compressing the direct vocals even more prior to mixing for the video but was never quite able to level them out. The PA wasn't loud enough for the controllers in the amps to start compressing further, so I put it down to the physics of air... [/QUOTE]
