The old guy that first took me under his wing in the recording studio used to tell me to "watch the wimmen" when evaluating one of my feeble mixes.

I still find that to be valuable information to this day.

Nevermind all of our studies of physics, electronics, audio, what-have-you, "watching the wimmen" with an eye towards detecting if they are okay with it or are annoyed by it is still one of the best ways to evaluate your sound, be it recorded or live.

The Bose Compact is a hit with the women in the places I play.

I think it is mostly because it does not intrude on their ability to talk and hear themselves, but I digress...
