    the soundsystem @foundation

    did anyone else think the soundsystem sounded absolouty crap on fri night

    i was stood near the back most of the night and a lot of the tunes were coming thu really distorted
    on main example of this was when jez&charlie played the frantic theme(andy farley remix)

    you could hardly make out the baseline of this tune(which i was most gutted about cos i love this tune)

    anyone else agree????

    i dont think its upto much either. its not high enough quality to play trance and HH well on IMO. its very bassy, with not much mid or treble. It often distorts, especially when trance is being played. If there is a vocal, often its muffled out.......It suites prog quite well, cos its so warm and deep. Thats probably why i like prog at foundation so much.

    Stand near the front! It makes HH sound like techno sometimes ;)

    I like the speakers myself but you can't hear vocals very well in Trance tunes, I agree with Revel there.

    dunno bout on fri but when tissera(sp!) was playing you could hear all the vocals clearly, but there has been a few nites when they were a bit shite, so i guess what joe an that said must be right...

    an mark i think that you should try an outdo twilo's system :D :eek:

    A club a NYC that is now shut down, but was renowned for having the best sound system in the world. I went b4 it shut (a few years ago) and saw Carl Cox and the sound system did live upto the hype.... It's all about speaker positioning!
