Classsic Attitudes...ALL AGE

I am not sure who to get a hold of for bands to get in. Hopefully this can be a weekly thing to help new bands out and get o...

Ron makes an excellent point, if no drums, no real need for 15s. Of course you always want to hear them first, but speakers are only as good as you make them. $1500 can sound like crap if you dont use them correctly, and $100 speakers can sound like a dream if done correct. When you listen to them, ...

i am remaining neutral, but for another point, its not the club's (in general) responsibility to provide for the production nor should it be held against them because the band paid for it. that was THEIR CHOICE to spend the money for production. Nor do i remember them signing a contract. Obviously t...

Songs for Openers...

When you are an opening band, do you think you should see the headliners setlist adn see what songs they are playing so you dont play a song they are doing? Do you play it anyways? or try to fit something else? What if the opening band plays a song you are going to do as the headliner? Do you do the...

Then the volume is the overall volume of the track and the volume at the very bottom is the overall master mix volume? I am guessing that yo...
