Hey stemming from this is a lot of talk of eq and rooms. I hope no one minds but may I also add something for budding sound techs: mics and speakers and why it’s easier for a dance venue compared to a live rock venue. These are what I’d call newbie-ish problems so forgive me if you’re talking about pro level rock venues. Low end builds up on stage and unless managed gets into mics you don’t want it to leading to lots of sloppy bass. One might low cut mics that aren’t meant to be receiving low end content for example or mute ones not in use. Another thing is that producing bass frequencies requires the speaker diaphragm to move more air and so there’s a slower transient response or time to complete a cycle. If you send too many different things at once to the low end the poor thing gets ‘confused’ and things get sloppy. Double hangs seem to be getting quite popular for this reason, less instruments fighting over the same cycle. Otherwise don’t send everything you can to the sub just because you can. Personally, unless there’s some reason to, I rarely let anything go below 80 anyway and defs not 60. I hate giving advice, tell me how I’m wrong.
