Interesting speech... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxhtIbK- ... r_embedded

Are much agree on what he said, but unfortunately most of the users of the clubs do not know the difference between an mp3 and a CD, for many it is the same thing. Long live the 24bit 96000. the music is the food for love? hahahaha

Yeah- it's good to some some engineer's taking the problem seriously. Several of the bigger gigs I've been to over the last few years have been completely spoiled by badly set up line arrays pushed to the limits of their performance. It's not helped by the seeming trend among FOH engineers to sacrifice quality for sheer decibels!

MegaHurtz ·

Intresting, i agree very much with him.

You don´t even need to get to a gig to experience bad sound and all that "get it louder" bs.... at least here, this also applies to movies! I mean, is it logical to have a system pushing 110dB into children´s ears when watching "Cars 2"?????? Who cares about 3d when your ears are bleeding?

Especially when you just found out that only 100w of sound can kill you.... I got the same experience with the last movie I saw in a movie theater...Terminator4 like 3 years ago.... I said to myself...no way... I'l watch movies at home from now...

Hmmm, the saddest thing of all is that I see so many people (especially the young kids) who seem to use music just for a dB 'Force Field' to avoid interaction with their community - just plug in the earbuds, crank up the volume, then never say 'Hi' to the neighbours ever again - and the music itself is no longer a shared experience. 🙁 Same with the clubs and gigs - I love music, but still I would like a quiet corner where you can have a proper conversation - often you need sign language just to order a beer at the bar! I see now at many gigs around here, it is commonplace that many of the audience are wearing ear-plugs ot protect their hearing - so you go to a gig and then you need to block out some of the music, how can the organisers not see this as a symptom that they are doing something is wrong?!

The phrase is said by him, at the end of the interview, taken by Sheakespeare. 🙂

The guys in your area, at least do something. Here to me, it seems that if they do not break the ears, has not been a good evening. you can see guys with their head in a subwoofer. 😝 Now believe that drugs take prevailed over everything. 😕

That with the subwoofer is only good 4 chicks 😉

I hear music often very loud with my RCF active 2.2 speakers or my headphones but what my daughter gets in a big disco here in town is: - only deaf making... 🙁

P.S.: i spent 5 Years in making a maximizer that doesn't totally destroy the dynamic... 😮 Some Info about dynamic range: http://www.dynamicrange.de/

...and i remember a walkman with 2 earplugs and an inbuild mike with a talkover button so u can speak with ur friend 😇

MegaHurtz ·

I have seen that.. I was standing a good distance away and still my ears itched from the pressure levels. And some people putting their ears against the cones. I guess you dont need ears when youre retarded.

Ah well some days my neighbours wont really like to share the experience i guess.

Would you like to be my neighbour? 😈
