[QUOTE="John Chiara, post: 91594, member: 53"] Re: Subs, what to do if you lack excursion? First, I am a strong believer that the chest pounding kick spoken of, and the desire to produce that, is one of the most common reasons for tiring, too loud sounding mixes. When I ran my club I tried to explain to some BE's that the heavy 60-80hz pummel they were chasing after was gonna bum everyone out after about 10 minutes. Especially my staff!! Second, a 5 string or 4 string bass in any show I mix gets high passed. Full range bass through a system that does 30hz sounds unnatural and droning. No bass rig will do full range full level at those frequencies so I never ask the FOH to do it. Bass tone is harmonics. That said having the low frequency extension for kick and other sources opens doors otherwise closed. [/QUOTE]
