May 22, 2012 Episode
Greetings: I'm a sound buff who enjoys your podcast! About 24 minutes into your May 22, 2012 episode, you mentioned the issue of how loud the sound is at live events. You gently informed sound engineers that they are there to enhance the sound of the performers, not deafen everyone. Good advice, but as in the recording industry, loudness is a rather touchy, nuanced issue. Very often, it is not the live engineer, or in the case of recording, the mix or mastering engineer, who decides how 'loud' the final product(a concert, or a new CD) will be. That is more often or not driven by the client. By client I mean the band themselves, the organization putting on the event, and in the case of an album, the artists, producer, or record label, that drives this 'loudness war' we unfortunately are all too familiar with. They, and not the engineers, are the ones who need education on musical fidelity and on 'how loud' is enough. Appreciate your bringing it up though, as it is a very touchy subject. Kind regards, The 'K-Man' :)Read full review »
