Am I going deaf? Or is it obvious to anyone else that the sound on the stages was turned way down this year? Especially the first couple days - Anything before 7 o'clock sounded so quiet. Probably because there is simply more music, more stages, more interference, and I guess that's fine, but I don't know, takes away from actually enjoying anything. A few people complained of quieter stages, anyone else have this problem? Everything seemed so toned down. Because of the lower sound, it seemed like the bands were just uninspired and not responsive to what they were playing. I was so excited to see the Black Keys - their set just came off as uninspired. I was standing on the edge of the tent, not 1600 feet back. The Dead Weather was the same way - just so quiet. It was like listening to bands practice, not perform. Anyone? I mean, if no one else had this problem I'll be avoiding live music for the rest of my life.
Agreed, although i don't think it was a huge difference in volume. The tents seemed a bit quieter and the lunar stage bled way too much into the tents.
I did, however, think they really improved the sound quality on the Which Stage.
I felt the same about the tents. Galactic was not nearly loud enough to even listen to outside of the tent but they suffered from the Lunar Stage blowout. I personally thought Which Stage always sounded good though - I'm thinking back to Primus in '04 and the bass from Matisyahu in '06. Now, as much as the Lunar Stage was overpowering, Crystal Method sounded awesome.
