I don't care what the circumstances. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't hear yourselves, you should never blame someone else.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO HEAR YOURSELVES BETTER BY TURNING YOUR INSTRUMENTS DOWN!!!! ALWAYS!!! SIMPLE ****ING LOGIC WOULD TELL ANYONE THIS WHETHER THEY HAVE EVER PLAYED MUSIC OR NOT!!!
QUIT CRYING AND TURN THE MOTHER****ER DOWN!!!!!!!
It really is just that simple because it applies even when there is NO sound engineer. Volume knobs have more than one direction.
Turn....the....mother****er....down.
My drums don't have a volume knob, and I can play in a phone booth quiet enough to be asked to turn it up. If the audience wants you to turn it down, you are doing it wrong. If the audience wants you to turn it up.....
Dynamics........get some.
I'm not going off on you, Lzen. But I see a lack of accountability in so many musicians that can't get out of their own way. A good musician's performance should never be placed in an engineer's or anyone else's hands. Don't blame the refs... score more points.
