Re: [Harp-L] Loud band

["Whiteboy Slim (maurice richard libby)" <blues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Loud is not good, hearing is good. Loud ruins the mix, loud makes 
dynamics pointless, loud makes you tired. Loud takes away subtlety.

Tat's not pontificating, that's my opinion, that's not BS, most of it is 
scientific fact. Half the musicians I know regret playing loud when they 
were younger (and I'm talking about people in their twenties and 
thirties, no old farts), but they won't talk about it, because they are 
too distracted by the ringing in their ears.

If the audience insists on loud, use a bigger PA.
