I went to the local clinic today and they suspect concussion and whiplash, which is no surprise. I have scheduled a CT scan tomorrow. Now, back to regularly scheduled thread...

I had my Podium 1002's set up with my Yamaha s900. People said it sounded good but I couldn't tell, didn't sound anything special to me. But then again, I was playing and they were out front to where they could hear the speakers good.

OTOH, I thought the Bose compacts there sounded great. It will be interesting to see if Fran's mixer idea pans out for other people. (The one with the room control acoustics, which might fill in some EQ gaps. Assuming there are some.)

Sound is such an incredible part of music. The more I get into it, the more I see how complex it is. I watched a video recently of a guy setting EQ. Now, this was nothing more than an acoustic guitar. That's it. No vocal, nothing else, just acoustic guitar. He spent 20 minutes doing this and that to the multi-band EQ. And that's just EQ. And that is just THAT room. Next venue, start over.

Now, then again, if the aforementioned mixer's room control thingy works... hmmm...

Does it work for sound dummies like me? Now, that, I would buy! Press a button and it analyzes the room and makes you sound good? My kind of mixer.

I remember one of the first times I used Logitech Z-2200. Just me singing, playing acoustic guitar. I had two guys in the audience who toured professionally with big name acts and they could not believe how good it sounded. They came up to me and commented, I didn't ask them. And I barely knew how to turn on a mixer! Still don't, haha.

Point being, sometimes we luck up, I suppose. I wish I could carry a sound expert around with me. I get frustrated when it sounds like crap and I don't know how to fix it. Heck, which knob do I start with? I'm a songwriter, not a sound man, for sure.
