12. "now that we're talking sound.." In response to In response to 0
here's a question I've wondered about for a long while:
After reading the TRCA liner notes (the parts about sound guys hating to do the Roots), I confirmed this by talking to some people I've worked with in the northeast. The Roots have a bad rep among sound companies.. and I'm interested why. Do The Roots push levels too hard? Demand more out of soundsystems than artists/tours with lower sonic standards? I know that the Roots play more shows than most other bands, and so I imagine that they have higher expectations of what good systems are. Anyone who could elaborate, that would be super.
Also, i'd love to get in a discussion about the equipment/techniques used at the Roots live shows.. I don't know much besides the microphone requirements and general indications from seeing them play/general sound principles.
