Early next season-go to a show and be sure to sit in the middle of a top brass line that is warming up. If that doesn't get the juices flowing then it may be too late. Then you have the actual show where apparently the issues that bother him occur.... Being an IT guy and not a musician I probably wouldn’t notice. But working with sound like he does I’m sure sound being off like he describes would be like fingernails on ye olde blackboard.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. My youngest son went to school (Columbia U.) with Neil Meyerhoff's (Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Balt., MD) son and Neil told me at a luncheon that the only way to listen to music was in a professional music hall. To me that was somewhat elitist but I guess there are those music lovers that want that absolute pure sound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol reminds me of a guy who was a great middle horn player but was a criminology major at college. Someone ask why he didn’t study music he said if he got into music that deep he might not enjoy it as much. Dang just looked and saw you’re ex-White Roses 👍 Edited October 19, 2019 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of fun and good times and good people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphony at Oregon Ridge (their summer home where the sound is micd.) just as much as I do at the Meyerhoff and he then tried to tell me that that would be an impossibility. To each his own I guess.

cybersnyder Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 If I can enjoy a performance through headphones, I can probably enjoy one with P.A. speakers. Most of us enjoy the unpure sub hits at concerts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said before-I love to be in the middle of a top brass line before the show, but the enhanced sound on the field is sometimes even better IMO.

cybersnyder Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 PA systems make recordings more difficult and probably take away your enjoyment, but most people (99.99%) aren't going to play the recordings through a $400k system with $6k speaker cables. So, to the vast majority, PAs improve the experience if done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melt my face off in B-Flat. Melt my face off with amps. Just please...melt my #$#$*&^% face off. Times change, music changes and the way we design and even listen to shows changes. But a good face melting is timeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
