I went to NY Audio Show with a friend. I was expecting to hear something more and was disappointed. These were my thoughts I go to about 20 live performances a year small venue shows with good acoustics,I wont count the large concert shows because they are crap unless it is Carnegie Hall I probity wont go to large shows anymore.My thought is what are these audio specialist trying to achieve is it a live performance or some figment of their imagination or is it the way they think recorded music should sound? To me their is two choices unamplified live performance or well mixed amplified live show. Anything else is personal preference that is ok if that's your choice but their has to some standard set for a common goal.On the way home my buddy and i were discussing the show. we both agreed too much elevator music for demo they should mix up with 2 minute clips of their favorite passages of songs with different genres. I asked my buddy to pick the best sound in show and he picked top 5 spots as me. It just confirmed confirmed my thinking.
sitting down reflecting on the show Sunday i was thinking what a poor place to have a show a lot of the rooms were cubicles they have to find a place like in the suburbs with larger rooms a chance for a better set up these people were at such disadvantage . I also was surprised not much use of acoustic treatments. If I go to another show it will be out west I heard their shows are good unless a east coast show can come up with better location
