Re: [Harp-L] Super Loud Bands

["Abner Galdos" <cdgaldos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last Saturday My wife and I were invited to see this great band( held outside) by a member of Harp L.
The band was very good. several things I did notice:
The music was too load. 
 the solo singer who was fantastic young kid of 17 years old, since the output was so load he sounded muffled.
The Harp L member who was playing harp was great and his amp gave out good sound.

and this was a bit annoying... 
You don't need to play load,  too the point were the sound of the music is lost to the listener.
>From my understanding the band is playing for the customer not for them selves....

I might change that word load to bad mixing...I am not an expert.. You all should know me by now.
But I do know what I like. and I have a very open mind.

What customers want is to hear the music, hear the instruments, hear the beat, hear the rhythm, hear the voice.
