Good post.

I tend to do mainly concert work but strike the occasional band that insist on higher levels. I recently provided a system for a band that were fairly loud, but as they had their own engineer, I wore industrial ear muffs right through, sounded great!

I work really hard at keeping levels down when I'm mixing, takes a lot of diplomacy.

I've been asked to provide sound for a group that has specified they want 118dB level at the mix position. Now that's a gig I'll refuse to do!

Bob
