Perhaps this person knows how to mix dance/club music, but the claim "this applies [...] as much as any other" is nonsense. I read much about sub woofers on this list. I hope people are aware that a bass has got some high frequencies too, so a bass can be located and JFTR it's also possible to listen to music by headphones. Some people like to listen to music that is drawing a room and that has got a wide dynamic range. Relation to the speakers does matter for stereo, so do they completely mix in mono for dance/club music? No, they are mixing stereo, it's just stupid music made by people who aren't musicians and the main instrument are a bass line and a kick in unison to the bass line. If such an dance/club audio engineer isn't aware hat there are thousands of different music styles and that some music styles are really composed and/or improvised and not just a bass line + a synced kick and that even for many kinds of dance music, the rhythm group often is very subdued in the background, then such a wrong claim still is a wrong claim. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
